acting patron who believes it his in

plish the move. New Uhn merchants

A SUGGESTION.

While we are busy congratulating our
elves on the fact that New Ulm is
growing along commercial lines as it has
never done before, let us not forget that
socially there is still much to be desired.
For long time it has been very evident
to strangers coming to this city that there
is scarcely any way of getting acquainted
with the people of New Ulm. The con-
ditions are even worse than that; many
even of the older residents are practically
strangers to each other.
A movement was started last week for
a series of club dances to be given at
Turner Hall during the winter, and this
should receive the support of all the
older men and women of the community
whether they care to dance or not. AS
an advertising medium for the city there
Is none better nor cheaper. AS a method
Of putting into practise little of that
Christian spirit of neighborly kindness
md goodwill which receives so much
attention on Sunday, there is none Sc
simple and practical. The big city
dailies have lately been devoting much
editorial space to the subject OF Lone,
hness". It seems to be a universal
problem. The duty of the community
however, to the young man or. woman
who for years meets scarcely any one
outside of the office or boarding house, is
slear. Any move which will bring
young men and women together il

GAS ITHERs SEE U.s."

A certain good citizen Of this town
handed us the following article on decent
driving, it being based on remarks over
heard by him on the streets. The speak
er evidently had had some experience
with reckless drivers and the good citi-
zen felt that New Ulmites ought to see
themselves as others see them. The
remarks made were as follows:
II used to haul cord wood into this
city with an OK team from farm.
Later I drove pair OF spirited horses
for my father who always cautioned me
that I must slow up and drive carefully
around corner and at crossings. Now
we see the youth of our land, and even
grown persons, driving automobiles and
other conveyances at a reckless speed
everywhere. Where are we drifting to?
If few of these reckless drivers should
lose horse or two, or break. their necks
which we should certainly deplore, it
might serve to bring some Of the others
to their senses for the benefit of all.
No team Of horses or oxen, nor even an
automobile can 60 around street corner
at a high rate Of speed without slipping
or .skidding. This article is !. Free,

we'll taken to heart by many for. their
own safety and the prudent protection

occupants Of vehicles.

times and then think. 49,.

THE TEST OF EFFICIENCY

One measure of efficiency lies in the
ability to consider suggestions, to weigh
them and act upon them if they appear
to be good. The Review" does not
wish to claim that the Municipal
Christmas Tree" celebration idea orr
ginated with it. We merely passed
along the idea that other cities have been
acting upon for two years past: 1t
seemed good to us and SO assured were
we of its being good thing that we urged
it rather strongly. - - W.. "a, .
. 1t is naturally gratifying to us that the
Commercial Club endorsed our views
of the subject but what pleases us most
is to see the Club SO ready to discuss
such matters with interest. That is
why the Club is becoming SO efficient
They are awake to every opportunity
to do something for the city. Il. they
had decided that the time was inoppor-
tune for the Municipal Christmas Tree
we should have granted them the right
to their opinion but if they had simply
passed the suggestion by without paying
any heed, then we should have been
badly disappointed in them. As it is
we could not be better pleased all around
most of our qualification coming from
the fact that the Commercial Club con-
tinues to prove that it is awake. and
alive to it's functions. y: "..

1t is said that the German invaders
Of Belgium, whatever else they may have
destroyed, have been careful not to
injure park trees. The cavalrymen, SO
a report goes, are forbidden to tie their
horses to trees for fear that the animals

healthy and normal social recreation is
deserving of support.
The important thing in this case is not
the fact that some people want to dance.
The object is to get some way of bringing
the young people Of the community to-
gether socially. Dancing seems to be
the simplest method. For this reason
it is highly desirable that the older people
of the city take an interest in this venture
