TracI,orna.

This disease of the eyes is becom-
ing of greater Importance as it be-
comes more widespread throughout
our country In 1897 the secretary
of the treasury declared trachoma
dangerous contagious disease. and
denied an Immigrant afflicted with IL
entrance to this country, because OF
the discovery that the dlsease was
being introduced and disseminated
by immigrants. 1T seems to be un-
disputed that no country is free from
the ravages of the disease, the MIS-
tory-of which goes back to ancient
times, and that no race is immune,
from it and no age exempt, except
the very young. The cause OF ira
choma is not yet known, as the spe-
.cffic germ has not yet been. sdlscoV-
cred. The disease occurs, in groups,
lin localities, in houses. in factories,
and in schools, and is spread by con-
tact or by contamination with arti-
lcIes, like. common towels, which are
handled by the afflicted patient and
his fellows.
The seriousness OF -rachoma, IT'S
contagiousness, the knowledge that
thousands of would-be Immigrants
are waiting to come to America II
restriction of this disease is removed.
the amount of it already In this
country. and. especially, its concen-
tration in certain localities, mean
that measures for its prevention
should. be inaugurated by every
state, city and town where the dis
ease has been discovered. Poverty.
crowding, dirt and articles used in
common tend to spread this infection
rapidly.
While the number of persons hay-
ing trachoma may be diminishing
in some OF our large cities where
both the government and the local
authorities are alert to the danger OF
the disease and to- the segregation
necessary, the Journal of the
American Medical Association says
that other cities and communities
should. pass such ordinances as would
cause every case of trachoma to be
Ireported. School children should
he inspected for this disease. Fac
tories should also be- inspected, ana
where the disease is discovered the
owners should take measures to pre-
vent its spread and to eliminate it Il
possible. A person with trachoma
should be isolated and treated until
he is we'll. "A child who is discov-
cred to have trachoma and is ban
ished from school should be followed
to it's home by visiting nurse or
some inspector from the board OF
health to insure that the child does
not spread contagion in its own
home. school Mushrooms should
have faucets for running water
which are controlled by foot
pressure, so that the hands need not
touch the faucets. The common
towel should be abolished with the
common drinking cup. These rules
for cleanliness apply also to factor
les. hotels, Office buildings and all
nnhlic institutions.

The Mind and the Weather.

Is the discomfort one feels in hot
weather a state of mind? DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, the Governments adul-
teration sleuth and germ discoverer,
thinks so. He declares that it is
quite unnecessary to swelter and
suffer with heat. keep your mind
on other things" he advises, adding,
'It is only the idle and unoccupied
who suffer from the heat"
This is good advice, even if his
assertions are not literally true.
Doubtless, one can mitigate the dis
comfort of hot weather by preserv-
ing toward it in a calm and unruffled
mental attitude. Doubtless, also,
one may make the heat more oppres-
sive and the discomfort more difficult
to bear by stewing and fussing about
it. Those who live in the tropics
learn how to bear heat with equan-
unity. They avoid all unnecessary
exertion, either muscular or mental,
in the hottest part of the day. They
practice the midday siesta for re-
Taxation and reCuperation. They
contrive to do the necessary work IN
the cool of the morning. and keep
out of the sun when that orb is rid
ing in the zenith.
In these Temperate regions excess
i've heat is comp;. :atively rare, ard
that is why we fno it harl to bear
We a,e not accustomed TO temper
atures which are matters of every
day occurrence in the South, and we
are prone to funle and fret abou:
them. We watch the thermometer
ap),rehensively. We drink larg',
quantities Of supposedly cooling
drinks, some of them which are real
ly aflame with alcohol that is bound
to increase our discomfort. 1t is
better to forget the weather, or tc
ignore it; to eat and drink temper
ately and curb indulgence in heat
producing foods; to indulge in plenty
of sleep at night, and if possible, tc
arrange period, no matter how short
of rest and relaxation in the middle
of the day. The good old summer
time is fine season, if you enjoy il
in the right frame Of mind.

Bright June Weather

"Oh, what is so rare as day in
June" sings the poet but this years
June was composed of rather well-done
days. A mean temperature Of 7l.5 as
compared with IS degrees as an aver
age in 1912 puts our lovely summer
month down as one Of more than usual
discomfort. The variations of temper.
ature we're not so great as during 1912,
however, the highest mark reached by
the, mercury registering 50 degrees
compared with 100 degrees last year
and the minimum temperatures being
an equal distance apart, 40 degrees
for this June and SO degrees for 1912.
The high mark was recorded on the
18th and 2Sth this summer and on the
Both last summer while low tempera-
lures were recorded on the Sth and 9th
this year and on the 7th in 1912, show
ing that q similar rice in temperature
took place from the early part of each
month toward the last. Nearly AS
inches of rain fell during the month
just ended as compared with less than
rs for last year in spite of the fact
that old Jupiter Pluvius did not get
start until the last part of the month
and scared us all stiff lest be had no
rain for US at all. For the first time
in long while the clear days exceed
the cloudy ones there being II days of
continued sunshine with II cloudy ones
and of the halfway kind. Thunder
storms we're the feature of the month
occurring the 10Th, Oath, 25th and Goth.
The exceeding great heat is probably
explained by the fact that the wind
blew almost constantly from the south.

The Easiest Way Out.

A Louisville negro was caught with
number of hides in his possession,
for. which he could not reasonably
account, and was brought into court
charged with stealing. -
"Guilty or not guilty?' thundered
the judge.
mot guilty." emphatically re-
sponded the negro.
'Then how do you account for the
fact that you were In possession OF
two fve-dollar bills when you were
arrested, although you are known to
have been unemployed for year?"
demanded His Honor.
"Jes' let me relate the circ cumstances,
Mr.. Jedge-"
"And that three hides, of which you
claim to know nothing, were found
hidden in your cellar?"
II dunno, jedge, but
"And that you we're seen coming
out of the tannery with three more?"
The negro scratched his head in
silence for a minute, then bIurted out:
''Lookey here, Mr.. Jedge, if you is
gwlue to git SO troublesome an so
'quisitive bout this little matter, rs
jest pintedly gwine ter take back wha
l said bout not guilty an make it
guilty."

Members OF the W omen's Clubs OF
the Second District listened to . talk
by Mrs. c. NJ: Conant of Wells on the
Catalogue House problem. Some OF
she things she said are we'll worth
reporting:
"Rest rooms in the small cities and
villages are the only solution OF the
problem" said Mrs. Conant.
"Farm women, when they come into
town, must bring their children with
them. They have no place to go to
except the stores, nowhere to rest or
get luncheon. The children get tired
md cross, and the mother goes home
disgusted before she has a chance to
10 any shopping. She puts the
children to bed, then gets out her
catalogue and orders what she needs
from the mail order concern
''If all small towns had rest rooms
where the rural women could go for
IN hour or two, where they could have
their luncheon and talk about their
probable purcha ases with their friends,
they would do much more shopping in
their own town than they do now. Yet
merchants say they will not help
establish rest rooms, because they
want the women to be forced to stay
in the stores while they are in town. y
There is much truth in Mrs. COnant's
remarks. New Ulm is just Ss far
behind in this particular as the
smallest village.

The Difference.

\ visit to several of the real live
cities of Minnesota in its rapidly de-
yeloping Northern Section again
demonstrates to the New Ulmite that
there are few places indeed that can
compare in neatness of appearance

hundreds of cottagers who spend the
summer season there presents most
unsttractive appearance to one who
is accustomed to the trim, we'll. kept

missioner Scheemann and his men
should be given due credit for the
vsy they keep up the work here.
However, in our delight at the
good appearance We are able to
make in the way OF municipal house
keeping We must not forget that we
have natural advantages in the way
of soil, drainage, building material,
etc., that other cities lack and while
We can boast of many things we are
not in a position to brag as city
of our public institutions. Our
schools are far from what they should
be and we have no library. 1t may
he that other cities put into their
heads what we hang on our backs,

very fine to have our streets look

some of our money into needed ad.

A Pleasant Disappointment.

Our towns gone "sane'', and mamma

We can't have fire-crackers, things

And burst apart in pretty stars OF gold

Nor even tiny caps to pound with
stones. My mamma said,

away from all the noise.'
She doesn't know that racket was just
made for little boys
To take delight in-and oh dear, l
want so much to smell
The smoke-and now they'll ship us
off to woods and meadows-well.

Licest time-oh say!
We had just lots of lunch, and good!
I guess; and all the day
We simply romped-and | don't care,
I'd really rather play
Than run and hoot, and burn and
shoot, besides we has to pay
For noise sometimes, Cousin Ted,
who lives at St. Marie
Just scorched his eyebrows of and
burned his hands-it seems to me
That tho to have no fire aud noise at
first seems rather plain
Its nicer in the end, you know, to
have your town go "sane." W. G..

Scott's Narrow Escape.

never having known Sir Walter Scott.
When tiny babe he was left in charge
Of a maid, but the girls heart was In
Edinburgh, whittier she wanted to go
to rejoin her lover She was. however.
compelled to stay and look after the In
fant at Sandy Knowe. The girl re-
garded her charge as an obstacle to be
removed and afterward confessed that
she carried young Scott up to the crags
(under strong temptation of the devil,
as she expressed iD. fully intending to
cut his throat with her scissors and
bury him under the moss.

Practically all people who have
xiyen the matter any thought, are
agreed that our present system is
mt conducive to the best interests Of
tie masses of the people and q change
IN our economic conditions has be
come imperative. Differences OF
opinion exist, however, as to the
methods to be employed to bring this
about.
Representatives Of tn" changing
order" in conference assembled at
Henning on July 4th, believing that
land ownership as now in vogue is at
the root of our economic evils, have
called a mass meeting to be held in
Minneapolis on the third day of July,
1914, for the purpose of considering,
modifying, amending or adopting the
following preamble and resolutions:
"Whereas, the progress of human
Intelligence from primitive super
stitions toward enlightenment has
consisted always of growing abll-
nv to discriminate between what is
real and what is false, and
Whereas, the securing to every hu-
man being an undisputed foothold up
on the earth will make all other So
eial problems easier of solution, and
Whereas the common illusion that
land can be owned has already per-
sisted too long to the detriment OF
every individual resident upon this
planet and to the entire destruction
Of satisfactory social relations.
Be it resolved by all the men and
women hereunto subscribing that
from and after the first day of jan
uary, 1920, we will no longer rec
ognize any land title however grant
ed except such as is based upon the
occupancy and use of land.
And furthermore we pledge our
selves from said date to stand by
for the protection of the tenure of all
who then are, and shall thereafter be-
come, occupiers and users of land,
against any invasion of any and ev-
cry kind to the full extent that the
force of an awakened and enllght-
ened public opinion shall be avail
able and effective"
They state further in their proc
lamation that attendance upon and
participation in the deliberations of
the conference does not necessarily
involve the severance of any polit-
ical, religious or other form of al
legiance.

|a:erestin9 Decisions Of. Supreme
cns,Pfs' t...sia .s
V00Iv.
- t,,, ,ri.,

The supreme court hsshaaded down
"a opinion upholdinR the Law pro-
viding for consolidated schools and
teaching agriculture and industrial
classes ia such schools. "A.
The Law was sttacked BY school
district No, IS, ia Rsnville county,
which objected to the payment OF q 50
each for eight pupils attending the
consolidated school ia Hector. Under
the law, al pupils outside the district
where the school is located must pay
tuition and this diStrict protested.
The court, in sustaining the law and
the OK action of . fee for nonresident
pupils, says it is in the stste's power
to impose such and that money must
be paid. Maintenance Of public
schools, the court says, is not of local
but of state concern.
In another decision the Court had no
'spsrticular difficulty" in finding that
piano stool and q plush piano cover
are "needful if not strictly necessary
to the enjoyment OF piano." Justice
Bum wrote the opinion involving
this weighty matter.
1t appears that in 1903 Mary E.
Thompson and her husband settled in
Luverne, MINI. While there they
acquired the piano stool, cover, and,
of course, piano to 60 with them,
from Mrs. Thompson's father. Willie
temporarily absent from town in 1911
they stored their. furniture. A grocer
had bill of s13 against them, sued
during their absence, and levied on
the piano and accessories mentioned.
The defend ant, G. E. Peterson, was .
deputy sheriff and seized the goods.
When Mrs. Thompson returned she
sued Peterson for unlawful seizure
and recovered Sl55.
The supreme court holds that the
law exempts musical instruments from
seizure for debt, and incidentally in
terprets it to cover the other property
taken.
