J NELSON'S PHOTO STUDIO, PRINCETON It is with pleasure we note the steady increase in the patronage of Nelson's photo studio in Princeton. Bub it is only a natural consequence as the result of the square and honest business methods and fine artistic work for which Nelson's photo studio is renowned.

When People Take Cognizance of Facts. When the people can be made to see that it actually costs more in time and money to travel over a poor road than it does to travel over a good one, they will be less inclined to be grudge the expense of good roads. What is more important still, they will be willing and anxious to put the business of road building into the hands of intelligent men who under stand the business. Poor roads are the expensive things that curse a coun try district.Roseau Region. Nonentities and Men. Some men are nonenties. They have no aim or ambition,'and they render no service to mankind.

He has made more pic tures and better pictures, and con ducted business in Princeton for a longer time by far than any other photographer that ever attempted to do business here and since remodel ing his building last spring has one of the neatest studios for a town of this size in the state. This studio is open the first and third Saturdays of every month. JPraise for Germany. Lieut. Godfrey L. Carden of the United States revenue cutter service, is visiting the principal industrial centers of Belgium, Switzerland and Gerrmany, with a party of American manufacturrers and professors, in cluding H. W. Lescheh of A. Leschen & Sons, St. Louis Clifford Egan of Jaffa, Egan & Co., Cincinnati L. H. Weber of Jersey City Prof. Clifford Coggius of the University of Color ado, and Prof. Raynor Allen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy- The two principal conclusions reached, in which all the members of the American party agree, are the extraordinary prosperity and extreme industrial advancement of Germany. All of the thirty-five works visited were crowded with orders, some of them having orders for years ahead. It was at Mulhausen that the Ameri cans found gas engines being con structed up to 3,000 horsepower. Gas engines in America, Lieut. Carden said, are regarded as being in an experimental stage, but all over Eu rope are gas engines which have passed from experimental to fully practical use. The Americans found that the Ger mans made great use of waste steam in manners unknown in America. Lieut. Carden, who visited 350 Ger man works in 1903, as a machinery expert for the St. Louis exposition, was able to contrast what he saw dur ing his present tour with what he saw four years ago. He said that the workshop efficiency there had increased almost up to 100 per cent, the manu facturers everywhere having applied Amercian methods of getting the highest capacity out of tools and ma chines. He found, however, that the Germans employ fewer American ma chine tools, most of those now in use having been made in Germany, al though the highest class American tools are still imported. The feeling among the manufactur ers of the party was that the United States will experience difficulty in beating Germany, and that the Ameri can superiority in systems of work and machinery of a few years ago has well nigh been overcome. Farmers Organize Strong Society. Plans to organize the farmers of the country in a co-operative movement similar to the Rochdale plan in Great Britain were perfected at a conference of farmers held in Chicago last Fri day. Leaders of the movement are officers of the American Society of Equity, better known as the farmers' union. Already 300,000 farmers are pledged to the new organization, according to its sponsors, and it is probable that Chicago will become the central mar ket and headquarters. The society is incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. It proposes to establish markets in every city in the country for the distribution of farm products on the co-operative plan. The officers of the organization are: Treasurer, Thomas Emmerton of Wis consin board of directors, N. C. Crawley and S. D. Kump of Wis consin, Erwin Ball of Michigan, T. S. Morrill of Minnesota, W. S. McAdam of Missouri and Thomas G. Nelson of North Dakota. A Prize Hog. Several years ago a rivalry in the production of large hogs sprang up among the farmers in Kansas. A sign that seldom failed to attract the attention of passersby read: "Any one wishing to see the biggest hog in Kansas call at my farm and inquire for me.
