FARMERS CLUB MEETING
Gathering Will be Held at Hanska Next
1 >-.-" Tuesday. &c.,. = -

: Farmers of the eastern end of the
county will gather in Hanska next
Tuesday, December 10Th, to attend a
meeting of the Brown County Farmers
club. This is a branch of the state
club, organized for the purpose of
keeping the graduates of the Mime
sofa agricultural college in touch with
progressive farm methods and to give
practical farmers the benefit of expert
ments made at the state school. =
It is expected and hoped, that this
club will help the students and gradu-
ates of the agricultural school to keep
in touch with the affairs of the school
and experiment station after returning
to their homes, and alsoto provide q
way for them to help their neighbors
to become interested in and profit by
the work 1.-THE school and station.
b. One of the main objects of each
county club is to hold at least one
lively farmers meeting every year.
The work of the club members consists
mainly in securing good attendance,
and in selecting speakers from among
the successful farmers of the county
or immediate vicinity who arequalified
to give advice which will be of help to
those who are struggling with the same
agricultural problems. Such local tai
ent may often be of as great benefit to
the farmers of a neighborhood as
institute speakers, who are often i'm
ported from other states and therefore
cannot be expected to SO thoroughly
understand local condition.
The officers of the county club are:
Carl Olstad, Hanska, president; Lulu
Doehne, New Ulm, secretary and
treasurer: Herman Pfaender, New Ulm,
and Carl Olstad, Hanska, executive
committee.
Attorney Albert Pfaender of this
city, has been invited to address the
meeting next week and has decided to
accept.

More for the purpose of letting the
merchants and others of this city see
what outside people think of their en-
terprise we use the following from the
Redwood Gazette which is taken from
an editorial commenting on the adver-
Using edition: "The paper was neatly
printed, the advertisements were many
and news features and miscellaneous
matter were excellent. We believe
that this is the first attempt made in a
long time to show what New Ulm bust
ness men could do in the line of ad.
vertising, and they have proven their
belief in printer 5 ink. - 1890 49, =.

Hanska merchants are believers in
the value of printers ink. For the
last three weeks the columns of the
Herald have been crowded with adver-
Using and it has been necessary to
issue supplement with the paper. In
spite of the rush of work Editor Dresser
has published paper which would do
credit to town far larger than Hans

Ever and anon the ship subsidy
question comes up in the questions be-
fore the people. 1t is pernicious
steal that once set in motion would be
an endless drain on government
finances. The merchant marine of this
country is controlled by individuals
chief of whom is j. P. Morgan, and
if, when the congressman talk of the
bill they would only say, Mr.. Nor
gan's ships instead of our. ships, as
they do, intimating by the pronoun
that the United States owned the
vessels, there would be no question as
to which way the people would think
on the matter. Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
Hill are perfectly competent to SUBJ
sidize their own boats, being nearly
as wealthy as the government.

Christmas, 1903.

Forgetting that which has clouded
our skies let us look forward to Friday
OF this week with new hope, feeling
that we are in the atmosphere of uni
versal brotherhood where each to
each other becomes for time at least
the harbinger of peace and good will.
Time lays on the doorstep of every
home the token of the passing year,
just as the golden clouds at sunrise
assure the existence of a glorious sun
ut the dawn of day; so the little that
we give, to those We love, assures them
that wealth of affection exists that
awaits only an opportunity to break
through the ills and inconsistencies of
life to include us all in the embrace of
it's golden light.
This world is not so bad if people
did not forget the lesson that Christ
mas teaches-if they could just re-
member that. the longest life has but
100 Christmases. The pursuit of happi-
ness does not reach beyond that-only
the regret that opportunities have been
wasted, words been left unspoken-for
words cease and opportunities fee
when we cross the narrow line that
marks the. boundaries of time.
Life is Graded in manger of end
less labor. ANGELS do not pay homage
to it. Instead of incense and myrrh
wise men bring to us the scent of
labor's battle. There is the jubilant
hope.of victory, the fearful expectation
of defeat. Men rise and fall in the
struggle. Men fall and fail in the
struggle. Women and children are
crushed under ruthless feet and are
not recognized in the house of friends.
There is fearful harvest of crushed
fortunes, ruined regulations and char
acters, hating hearts, venom-illed
memories and loss of life.
All this is life, and we are part of it.
Yet there is faith, justice, truth, love-
the radium power of the Christmas
time, seen not by the flaring, Pickering
dying tapers of mans creation but by
the sympathies, the hopes, the words,
that make man truly man. This is the
Christmas spirit.

EMBRACES ALL BRANCHES
State Educational Exhibit is Very
Complete.
Almost Every Branch of School
Work Covered.
Children's HandiWork of All Kinds
to Be Shown.

Some idea of the scope of the Mime
sofa educational exhibit at the St.
Louis worlds fair, to which the New
Ulm public schools have contributed,
is conveyed by the following from the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press: (
Exhibits of manual training and
almost every branch of school work
are being received atthe senate chamber
at the state capitol, where the contest
to select an exhibit to be sent to the
ST. Louis exposition will be held under
the direction of the Minnesota Edu-
cation association. -
Prizes amounting to 500 will be
awardedsin this preliminary exhibit.
The rural, semi-graded, graded and
high schools in cities and villages of
less than 5000 inhabitants that make
the best display each will receive q
prize of 800, and the schools making
the second best displays will receive
$50. A prize of 500 will be awarded
to the county making the best display.
The prize exhibits will be sent to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. .....
Many schools have already re-
sponded, and Miss Susanna E. Sirwell
| of Minneapolis, superintendent of the
Minnesota educational exhibit at the
worlds fair, and several assistants
are busy arranging the exhibits. They
cover almost every phase of school
work from drawing and water colors
to geography and arithmetic. -....
One of the most interesting exhibits,
prepared by Ruth Shoemaker, a little
girl in the first grade of the North
Mankato school, illustrates the pro-
cess of growing corn from the time it
is planted until it is ground into corn
meal. The exhibit is arranged in a
neat case and shows specimens of the
tassel, leaf, corn stalk, root, silk,
husk, cob, kernel and corn meal.
Attached to the exhibit is a paper
telling how the farmer grows crop of
corn. The letter follows:
"First, the farmer pulls out the
stumps. Sometimes he burns the stumps
out. Then he plows it. And then he
plants the corn. Then he plants his
pumpkins, too. When fall comes he
husks it. When he gets it husked, he
stacks it, When he gets it stacked he
takes it to the mill. When he grinds
it he takes it home.'' ....,.. ....
There is an abundance of pretty
willow baskets in all forms and several
beautiful water colors. A picture
frame is made of the husks. There is
| a paneled door for cabinet made by
two boys of Wells in a thirty-six weeks
course of three ifty-minute periods a
week. A bookcase was made by the
first years class of Wells also, and
there is a drawing of a model rural
schoolhouse showing the front, back
and side elevations and the ground
and basement plans.
A school in Sank Center sends an
exhibit of thirty-four varieties ofwood,
each specimen carved in a block.
Among the specimens are sugar, maple,
red, white and pitch pine, butternut,
Washington tie, yellow poplar, burr
oak, red cedar, white spruce, red elm,
birch, Eastwood, rock elm, walnut;
cherry and ash. a.. :. - Y: @sss.ss,,.

Congressman John Lind has taken
the right stand on the tariff question.
He is for reciprocity as outlined by
James G.. Blaine and his speech in

The management of the State Uni
versity has come in for severe criticism
because of the football expense which
has reached up into the thousands.
1t is probably not known by these
critics that all the money that has gone
into the improvements in and about
the athletic field has been donated by
friends of athletics or taken in by the
sale of tickets and does not come out
of any of the University funds. It is
up to these critics to make good the
injustice they have done.
Creameries in this section that bought
butter tubs at the annual meeting in
this city last year saved the neat sum
of about 5000, among them, by buying
their years supply in advance. The
price of tubs during the year increased
from 81 cents to thirty three cents.
The association is a great benefit to
those who belong to it.

New York Cotton Futures.
The Metal Market.

New York, March 16.-Tin broke e2 17s Cd in London with spot closing at e1S5 17s 6d and futures at e136. The decline was attributed to the heavy shipments from the straits settlements which for the first half of the month exceeded by some 800 tons the figures of the corresponding date last year. The weakness abroad un- settled the New York market, which was very dull and considerably lower, spot being quoted at S3O. Copper closed at an advance of 2s Sd in London, where spot was finally quoted at e65 5s and futures at e65 Is Cd. The local market was un- settled and nominaly unchanged.

Baxter C Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York. March 16-There was no change of consequence In the early mar ket today. Cables were fully up to the market. Rain reports were attracting attention but in no case was there any moisture of consequence over Sunday. The government reported over eight inches at New Orleans. Pressadvices were still alarming as to the flood stu- alton and this helped much in preventing selling. Numerous mail advices are com ing in as to the backwardness of crop preparations in Texas. It is now taken for granted that the start in that state will be a very late one. probably later than ever before known in it's history. The spot situation keeps as strong as ever, although bears have been pretend ing that cotton has been going begging in the south. On the other hand people who are securing the country for suita- ble grades confess their inability to se- cure 1t there. There are no signs of the bull clique cutting loose from their posi- tion and short selling is growing less and less popular every day. Port re- ceipts today estimated at 1900 against

 LITTLE UNSTEADY Total Sales of Futures Estimat- ed at 100000 Bales LOW LEVEL AT THE CLOSE Response of New York Market Was Not In Line With What Was Ex-
 pected, and Liquidation
 Caused Decline.
LOW LEVEL AT THE CLOSE

New York, March 16.--The cotton mar points and following the call worked up- ward from 2 to points on the active options under better Liverpool cables than expected. At the New York open ing, Liverpool was net to 4lh points higher, whereas a partial decline of l point was considered due on the New York close of Saturday. Private cables attributed the strength of Liverpool to buying there for the account of Alexan- drian interests. but whatever may have been it's cause the response of the local market was not in line with expectations and after the brief interval of steadlness following the call, the market turned easier, chily as a result of liquidation and worked slowly downward until near the finish, when there was slight im- provement under covering though the close was barely steady and net 1 to 5 points lower; that level being within l to 3 points of the lowest of the session. Total sales of futures were estimated at 100000 bales. In addition to the bet ter Liverpool cables, the early firmness was encouraged by the light estimates for tomorrows receipts at Houston, con tinued flood accounts and unsettled weather. There was also a considerable demand for July believed to be for COW ering purposes but the offerings were larger on the advance, particularly in the near months, these being credited to a bull clique. The port receipts turned out 172S2 bales, against F, 469 bales last year, and the estimates for tomorrow pointed toward moderate movement, while the southern spot markets did not respond to the weakness in futures, re- maining generally unchanged.

New Orleans, March 16.-Spot cotton was quiet today the volume of trading being small but fairly good inquiry was in evidence. Though Liverpool spots were mp six points, this market remain ed unchanged with sales of 1850 bales, in- cluding $50 to arrive. Factors say there is very little cotton offering in the coun- try at any price. Locally little cotton was offered in the higher grades, the bulk of offerings being in strict low middling and lower grades.
 Futures at the opening were even to four points lower than Saturday. The opening was followed by frequent slight fluctuations with mild downward trend Trading was comparatively light, May July, September and October being the principal positions dealt in.
