New Ulm is TO have another marble

about month ago, concluded TO

1883 in the former Chicago House nezt'

ducting this place for one year Ae'

the exception of the short time he was

credit to the business he was
engaged in. He has views and
opinions of his own and is refreshing
ly frank in stating them, irrespective
OF the effect they might have on his
business. If all retail liquor dealers
would run their places of business as
Mr.. Amann has all these years, the
opposition to the saloon could never
hope to live, and it would not make
itself distasteful and obnoxious by
mixing up in politics.
Mr.. Amann has no definite plans
for the future. He will take a much
needed rest to begin with and them
find some work which will not be So

recently came from Iowa and makes a.
favorable impression and We look
forward to seeing him conduct the

AS the holding of a fair for Lee
county was a failure, everybody in
tercsted will have To go over to the
State fair to see the splendid exhib-
its that will be there from the Girls
Tomato club.
The county agent. Miss Oracle Dell
James. was busy last Monday pack
ing re exhibits to send off to the
stat, iair. 1t was a big task, but she
was equal to the occasion and before
sunset had everything ready for the
dray.
1t was interesting to note that there
were $40 pieces of canned goods and
130 different recipes for other things
than tomatoes, viz. 20 kinds of sweet
pickles. 2S of sour pickles. 10 of pre-
serves. of jams. 0 o. sauces, 80 of
fruits and vegetables. II of jams.
Among the jellies was some made
from the common May pop which is
pronounced par excellent by good
judges. In the art department there
will be aprons, bonnets and pressed
Wild flowers.
One of the girls did not confine her
self altogether to the tomatoes. but
had nice samples of sugar cane. corn
and n cotton stalk full Of bolls.
Miss James left on Wednesday to
have the exhibit in place and the
booth properly decorated. We under
stand that Mr.. Josey of st. Charles

cd six and t .ree-quarter pounds"
We wish to remind the Times, and
all other claimants of the biggest po-
tatO record, that Marlboro still holds
the championship Of potatoes, as we'll
as on cotton and corn. And the pO-
tato record was broken by the same
man who holds the worlds record for
the highest yield Of corn on one acre.
About year ago, Capt. u. j. Drake
sent to this office a potato which
weighed thirteen and three quarter
pounds; and the plow had cut off a
big chunk, which would have probably
made the toal weight % pounds. This
potato remained on exhibition in the
front window of the Advocate office
for several weeks, and was seen by
hundreds of people.

Chicken Thief ut Work.

Thursday morning Councilman c.

night a chicken thief had visited his
premises and relieved him of a num-
Der of chickens. taking all from one
part of the fowl yard. Later on in
the day the police got a clue to the
thief and some of the stolen chickens
sold. Afterwards the police made an
arrest of the alleged thief, the chick

Five Reforms That arc Needed.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
To be very frank this is the main
reason why the writer is so much in
terested in working out some speedy
plan whereby farmers in our pre-
dOminantly white communities may
restrict future land-ownership in such
communities to white people. We be-
lieve that some such plans as we have
mentioned for making home owner
ship easy are bound to come and
ought to come. But if we get n plan
whereby a man can get twenty to fifty
years to pay for place-can pur-
chase a place by paying eight or nine
just about normal rent--we shall GER
tainly need some plan which will pre-
vent absentee landlords from flooding
white communities with small-holdinS
negro buyers. And if it is possible
to arrange this by statute, SO that the
negroes can know that in certain COM
munities they can buy land and in
certain others they cannot, will this
not be far better for the peace and
safety Of both races than if the mat
ter is left unreeulatcd, to be dealt
with as the passions and interests of
the moment may determine?
To sum up, it seems to me we
should
