A FARMERSMEETING
Two Hundred Farmers Assemble in
Court House Hall and Listen to
Address by Mr. Aldrich.
He Advises All Farmers to Join Amer-
ican Society of Equity and Pro-
tect Their Best Interests.
Owing bo the fact that the meeting
had been thoroughly advertised in the
Union there was a large attendance
of representative farmers assembled
in the court room of the court house
last Thursday afternoon to greet Mr.
R. H. Aldrich, secretary of the Min
nesota Union of the American Society
of Equity. Quite a number of the busi
ness men of the village were also
present. Mr. George Carr of Wyanett
presided. The meeting opened with a
song by Mr. Ernest Radeke.
Mr. Aldrich delivered a talk of an
hour's duration/ He is an earnest
and convincing speaker and his soul
seems to be in the work. He com
menced his address by explaining the
necessity for organization among
farmers, and quoted freely from the
constitution of the American Society
of Equity.
The first and great object of the
American Society of Equity, said Mr.
Aldrich, is to obtain profitable prices
for all products of the farm, garden
and orchard. He urged the farmers to
organize for the betterment of their
condition and said in part:
There are 4,000,000 farmers in this
country and their average income is
about $400 per year. The average in
come of trades' union and profes
sional men is $1,000 per year. By
organizing and maintaining their
trades' unions the working men in the
cities have immensely bettered their
condition. The farmers are the only
people who have not organized to pro
tect their own interests. If the farm
ers were organized and each member
of the local union was to report to the
local secretary the prospective yield of
crops, the local secretary report to
the state secretary, and the latter to
the national secretary a minimum
price for products could be established
in the different localities and the
farmers could, to a certain extent,
control the price of their products. If
farmers stopped marketing their prod
ducts for 27 days every elevator and
warehouse in the country would be
swept as bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupborad. Farmers ought to manage
to market 10 per cent of their products
each month for ten months of the year
save August and September when
they should be busy harvesting.
Farmers ought to sell for cash and
patronize home dealers. Don't worry
about the city people: they can afford
to pay fair prices for farmers' pro
ducts.
Mr. Aldrich showed how the farmers
in Kentucky increased tobacco prices
by organizing and refusing to dispose
of their crops for less than a stipu
lated price. He also referred to the
benefits derived by the cotton-growers
of the south from organization. He
made particular reference to the pea
nut farmers of several Virginia coun
ties who had bettered their condition
immensely by combining and with
holding their crops from market until
adequate prices were received.
At the close of the meeting Mr.
Radeke sang another song and several
farmers and business men came for
ward and joined the society.
There is not the least doubt but in
telligent and systematic marketing of
products would tend toward better
prices, but farmers must not be carried
away with the idea that they can ab
solutely fix the prices at which they
will sell their products. Perishable
products must be sold at certain times.
Wheat, corn., oats and barley, for
instance, could be held by the farmers
for an indefinite period, but fruit and
regetables must be marketed in the
proper season. Then again supply
and demand must of necessity have
much to do with fixing prices. But
the farmers have much to gain and
nothing to lose by organizing. The
Union wishes the American Society
of Equity a hearty God-speed.
Langum Pokes Fun at O'Day.
Frank Day should have retained
control of his paper, the Martin
County Sentinel. Here is the way this
erstwhile defender of the Governor
now takes a slap at his Excellency:
If Gov. Johnson's official pen had
only balked on signing some of those
salary raising bills as it did on the
Indian scare pension bill he would
better have pleased some of the coun
try folks down this way.Preston

Homeseekers' Kates.

will be in effect as usual this year,
although they will be higher in some
cases than they were last. After the
passage of the new rate law by differ
ent Western states it was virtually an
nounced by the railroads that special
rates such as the homeseekers' would
be discontinued, but the different com
panies interested have evidently re
considered their decision.
Heretofore homeseekers' round-trip
tickets were to be had at one fare plus
$1. Now they are a fare and one-third
to all points in Minnesota and to
points of the Dakotas, and one fare
plus $2 to points in Montana and
Washington, and to stations in north
western Canada. To some places in
the Dakotas the round-trip rate will
be one fare plus $5.
THE CODNH WINS.
Supreme Court Sustains the Lower Court in
a Tax Refundment Case.
Mr. E. L. McMillan has received a
copy of the decision of the supreme
court in the tax refundment case of
Plondke and Bartosch, appellants, vs.
E. E.Whitney, county auditor of Mille
Lacs county, respondent. This case
has been dragging along for years,
and Judges Searle, Baxter and Qvale
all have had a whack at it. Had it
not been for the bungling of their
counsel the parties might have re
covered from the county the amount
involved, about $500. Mr. McMillan
ably represented the interests of the
county and he made no mistakes.
Here is the decision:
"This is a mandamus proceeding to
compel the auditor of Mille Lacs
county to deliver to the petitioner
warrants upon the county treasury
for the payment of the amount of cer
tain tax certificates. The tax judgr
ment had been adjudged void and it
would seem that the petitioner would
have been entitled to refundment had
he proceeded regularly and in accord
ance with the statutes. There are
numerous questions raised upon the
record, but it is not necessary to con
sider them, as the failure of the peti
tioner to make the county a party as
required by revised laws of 1905, sec.
965, was fatal to his right to the writ
of mandamus.
"Order affirmed."
HOME-TALENT CONCERT.
f
Kare Musical Treat at Methodist Church
Last Evening.
A rare musical treat in the form of
a concert by home talent was given at
the Methodist church last evening and
the audience which attended was a
large one. Every number on the pro
gram was admirably rendered and re
ceived hearty applause.
The first piece was an instrumental
duet by Aimee Woodcock and Lola
Scheen. This was followed by a read
ing, I ain't going to cry any more,"
by Miss Mildred Rutherford. Other
numbers on the program were: A
chorus by the Ten Little Sunoflwers
vocal solo, Miss Reta Byers violin
solo, Herbert Anderson reading,
Rev. J.W. Heard: vocal solo, Charles
Kopp reading, Miss Peterson Lul
laby, Ten Little Pickaninnies vocal
trio, Amelia Radeke, Maud Brown,
Mrs. E. B. Anderson. The entertain
ment concluded with an instrumental
solo, "La Somnambula," by Mrs. H.
H. Farnham.
Concerts of this description are a
source of much enjoyment and it is a
pity that they are not given more fre
quently.
NEW POTATO SPRINKLER.
Sherburne County Farmer Devises Novel
Contrivance for Spreading Paris Green.
An enterprising farmer of Sher
burne county has invented and man
ufactured a novelty in the shape of a
Paris green sprinkler for potatoes.
The device is very simple and can be
made at a small cost. It consists of
a piece of one-inch pipe 34 inches
long with a six-inch elbow of the same
material screwed on at each end. To
each elbow is attached a peice of hose
33 inches long and to each length of
hose is screwed a metal rose. A two
inch piece of pipe is attached to the
center of the 34-inch piece and to this
a stopcock is screwed. A six-inch
length of pipe screwed into the other
side of the stopcock completes the
device.
The end of this last pipe connects
with the barrel in which is contained
the Paris green mixture. As the horse
draws the vehicle upon which is placed
the barrel between the rows of pota
toes a man on footbehind the vehicle
of coursemanipulates the hose, one
extension in each hand. Thus it
requires but two men, one to drive
and the other to operate the sprink
ler.
No patent upon the device is con
templated by the inventor, and any
farmer who desires to test the practi
cability of the machine may take pat
tern from one now on exhibition at
the Union office. The device is cer
tainly worth inspection.

The Minneapolis Confidence Game.
Depot Agent Geo. E. Rice has been
bothered considerably this week by
persons requesting receipts for ^the
money paid by them for railroad fare
to Minneapolis. People who asked
for such receipts were those going to
the mill city for the purpose of shop
ping. The agent's receipt is neces
sary in order to insure a refundment
of their fare provided they purchase
goods to the amount of $30 or more as
set forth in the confidence game
advertisements. As there is no law,
either national, state or railroad,
compelling an agent to give such re
ceipt, Mr. Rice very properly declined
to furnish it. The railroad ticket is
in itself a receipt and, furthermore,
Mr. Rice has no time to devote to
the writing of such receipts.

PRINCETONSWIN OUT
Fofeys Defeated on Sunday Afternoon
In Contest Resulting in Score
of Eighteen to Six.
Twenty Vehicle Loads of Rooters do
Over to Foley to Witness the
Ball Game and Yell.
The ball game played on Sunday
between the Princetons and Foleys
upon the grounds of the latter proved
an easy victory for our team. Fully
twenty vehicles loaded with baseball
enthusiasts went from this place to
Foley to witness the contest and were
more or less disappointed with the
outcome as they expected a close
game. The score was 18 to 6 in favor
of Princeton. A synopsis of the game
follows:
Princeton was the first to bat,
Walker and Davis striking out. Kin
kle was the next up and, picking out
one of Latteral's inshoots, he landed
on it for a home run. Cordiner was
thrown out at first. Foley started off
with two hits and scored two runs
on errors by Walker and Kinkle, Lat
teral went out on a foul to left field,
Strand was struck out and Burrows
thrown out at first.
In the first half of the second inning
Roos was hit by a pitched ball, Smith
went to first on a fielders' choice and
the two worked the double steal and
scored on Marshall's single. Jesmer
got to first on balls and promptly
stole second, while Marshall went to
third. Phyle got a life on first on a
passed ball and Marshall and Jesmer
scored on Walker's single. Davis
sacrificed. Kinkle struck out, while
Cordiner hit safe, scoring Phyle.
Roos struck out, ending the half. In
the second half Kasner, Nauman and
Strand were thrown out at first, being
unable to hit safely.
Foley scored one in the third on
Walker's failure to handle Kouche's
long fly to center field. No scoring
was done in the fourth, but Kinkle
started off the fifth with another home
run. Cordiner reached first on balls
and scored on Roos' double, while
Smitii also reached first' on balls,
Marshall hit safe, scoring Roos,
Jesmer seccured a life on Nauman's
muff of his fly to left field, Smith and
Marshall scored on Phyle's fly to
center field, which White failed to
handle. Walker and Davis both placed
their hits where they could be handled
easily by the Foley team, Phyle scored
on Kinkle's single, Cordiner reached
first on Strand's error and Roos was
struck out, retiring the side. Foley
drew a goose egg in the second half.
In the first half of the sixth Smith
got to first base on balls, Marshall hit
safe and Smith went to third on Bur
row's failure to return the ball to the
diamond. Kasner caught Jesmer's
foul, Phyle hit safely, scoring Smith
and Marshall Walker was thrown out
at first and Phyle. who had advanced
to second, supposing that the side had
been retired, walked off his base and
was promptly put out. Foley scored
one in the second half on errors by
Marshall and Kinkle. In the seventh
Latteral, not wanting to give Kinkle
another chance to hit, gave him first
on balls. Cordiner sacrificed, send
ing Kinkle to second, and Roos hit
safe, scoring Kinkle. In the second
half Kasner was given a base on balls
stole second, went to third on a
passed ball and was sent home on
Kouche's sacrifice.
Princeton did nob score in the
eighth, but in the second half Mushel
went to first on balls, stole second
and scored on Latteral's double.
In the ninth Walker did not see any
of Latteral's curves that looked good,
so waited and got a free pass to first,
but he was put out at second on a
fielders' choice in handling Davis'
grounder. Kinkle tried for another
home run, but did not quite get it over
the fence however it was good for
two bases, as White failed to handle
it. Kinkle scored on Cordiner's
single and Cordiner was pub out while
trying to steal third. Foley was un
able to score.

Beautify Oak Knoll Cemetery.
Mrs. S. M. Sinclair was around
Monday with a subscription paper so
liciting donations to provide for the
proper care of Oak Knoll cemetery
during the summer months. She suc
ceeded in raising a respectable sum.
The cemetery has been sadly neglected
in the past and it is high time that
steps were taken to improve its ap
pearance. Those who have signed
the subscription paper can pay the
amount set opposite their names at
the First National bank.
ELK RIVER VICTORIOUS.
Hljfh School of That Place Defeats flish
School of Princeton.
On Saturday at the fair grounds,
Princeton, the high school team of
Elk River crossed bats with the
Princeton high school nine and de
feated them in a game the score of
which was 5 to 2. A goodly number
were in attendance.
The game was a loosely played one,
neither team showing any sign of fast
playing until the last two or three
innings. Elk River came to bat and
Martin experienced no difficulty in
landing on one of Burke's twisters for
two bases. L. Anderson secured a
life on Shaw's error and Martin went
to third, while L. Anderson stole sec
ond and both scored on W. Ander
son's single. Princeton was unable
to hit safely so did not score in the
first.
In the second Hill and Davis went
out on infield flies. Martin got first
on balls, stole second and scored on
Jesmer's error. Princeton made its
first score when Shaw hit safe, stole
second and scored on Davis' wild
throw to Hill in trying to cut him off
at third.
Elk River scored in the third on a
bunch of errors and again in the fifth
when Castle hit for two bases and
scored on Hindley 's single.
No more scores were made until the
ninth, when Burke, by a clever stunt,
made first on balls, stole second and
third and scored on a sacrifice by
Roos.
Following is the score in detail:

VILLAGE COUNCIL.
Nothing of Importance Came Up for Dis
posal at Last Night's Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the village
council was held last night with all
members present.
The bid of Louis Wicen for the lay
ing of a water main as advertised
was, upon motion, laid over to the
regular meeting in June for consider
ation.
Upon request of J. J. Skahen the
council agreed to furnish sufficient
earth to fill up the depression in the
street alongside of Mr. Skahen's res
idence.
Messrs. Larson and Wikeen ap
peared before the council and asked
that F. C. Cater be restrained from
tearing up the sidetrack on a piece of
ground extending from the elevator
to the Larson warehouse. Frank TL
White of Elk River appeared in behalf
of Larson & Wikeen. It appears that
the village of Princeton contends that
the land at issue is a regularly laid
out street while Mr. Cater claims that
the property belongs to hini. Upon
motion the village attorney was in
structed to investigate the matter.
County Superintendents' Convention.
Forty, or about one half the county
superintendents, were present at the
second annual state convention in St.
Cloud last week, and Mr. Ewing says
that the meeting was a particularly
enthusiastic one. The principal work
of the session was the adoption of a
course of studies for rural schools
and the consideration of legislation
which would be beneficial to such
schools. A fund was created, amount
ing to $275.70 from a levy of one-half
of one per cpnt upon the salaries of
the superintendents for the purpose of
meeting current expenses. A very
pleasing feature of the convention,
says Mr. Ewing, was the music furn
ished by a chorus of 400 normal
school students.

Mrs. Cooney Entertains.
Mrs. H. C. Cooney entertained on
Saturday afternoon in honor of her
sister, Mrs. Spaulding, of Helena,
Montana. About forty guests were
present. The entertainment was in the
form of a card party, which was di
versified by a spider-web bee and
other features. As the guests wound
up the threads they hauled in pack
ages of chewing gum, jewsharps,
mouth-organs, goose eggs, etc., from
the garret, cellar, and other parts of
the house. This was perhaps the most
amusing feature of the party. Re
freshments were served and all passed
a very pleasant afternoon. The
prizes in the card contest were won by
Mrs. L. S. Briggs and Mrs. Aulger
Rinesthe first award being a tray of
inlaid wood and the second a hand
kerchief box inlaid with gilt flowers.
F. L. Lndden Home Again.
F. Ludden on Monday returned
from a three-weeks' sojourn on the
Pacific coast. Mr. Ludden received
much benefit from the trip and is now
prepared to put on the gloves or
wrestle with all comers. Seattle,
Tacoma, Bremerton and other places
were visited by Mr. Ludden. He met
N. E. Jesmer and called upon Mrs.S
B. Smith who formerly lived at For
eston. The good lady was highly
pleased to meet some one from Prince
ton. Mr. Jesmer expects to return to
Princeton this week. "Mountain
trout," says Mr. Ludden, "abound in
great number in the streams near
Bremerton, and I can tell you I made
short work of several dozen. They
were the most delicious fish I ever
tasted." On the whole Mr. Ludffen
was well pleased with his trip.
