Bro. Hadley Of the Winnebago CITY
Enterprise has a hobby. Hesmay have
several hobbies, but the one that crops
out at least once each year is to publish
booster edition. He has enlarged on
this edition right along and this year he
surprised the people OF his home town and
the newspaper fraternity by publishing
an 88 page paper, II sections of pages
each. Mr.. Hadley is entitled to great

been made for three new departments of
work: the commercial, the home eco
Monies, and the manual training depart
ments. Tentative plans have been made
also for course in agriculture, but as the
difficulty of securing good experimental
plot is so great, nothing definite has been
decided. Some objection to such
course, comes, moreover, from the fact
that New Ulm is fast growing to be a
manufacturing rather than an agricul-
tural center.
- The Commercial Department will
prepare boys and girls for business
career. 1t will be open to all high school
students who have had the equal of an
eighth grade training; students who are
at present taking high school subjects
may select certain courses in place of the
elective academic subjects. The course
will be full four years course leading to
high school diploma. 1t will consist
of four years work in English, two and
half years of Mathematics, two years of
Bookkeeping, two years each of Steno-
graphy' and Typewriting, and enough
additional courses in History, Geography,
Civics, and Economies to make up six
. teen year credits. Thoroughness will be
the watchword, and every effort will be
made to develop those qualities which
make for efficiency and growth.
A feature of this department which is
drawing much appreciative discussion
d. now is the matter of evening classes for
adults and others who are not able to
attend school. These will be organized
lust as soon as a reasonable demand
for them arises. Penmanship, Spelling,
Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Geography,
History, Stenography, Typewriting,
Banking and the elements of Business
Law are among the subjects to be offered.
The classes will probably meet three
times week unless the demand is strong
enough to justify daily classes.
The manual training department will
be re-opened in the Fall. The details

upon yet, as much of the success of the
different phases of that kind of work
depend on the skill and ability of the
instructor. A competent instructor will
be hired and then given reasonable
amount of latitude in working out the
details of his course The seventh and
eighth grades will be given bench work
in wood, but in every case the work will
be made to bear on the home interests
sXof the boy and the boys father. There

manual training departments of most
schools toward display work. Every
attempt will be made in New Ulm to get
down to things which are useful; boys

The new High School building, which
will be completed by the first of January,
is one of the finest structures of it's kind
in the state and will without doubt help
greatly toward making New Ulm one of
the educational centers of the State. It
is in every way the latest word in school
construction as no efforts have been
spared to make it truly modern in every
detail. It is three story structure of
brick and tile masonry built by the ]. B.
Nelson Construction Co. of Mankato,
at cost, outside of the equipment, of
$95, 1000. The main framework is of
steel with interior partitions of metal
lath making it practically 6reproof. The
New Ulm Brick and Tile Co. supplied
the materials for the sides of the gym
nasium and auditorium and the two
courts. The building itself has a front
OF 154 feet, with two wings each 77x26
feet. The new building is connected
with the Emerson (the old High School
by the heating plant and boiler room.
The two stairways built apart from
the building itself and connected with
it by steel doors, are in themselves fire
proof and they form practically two large
fire escapes.

inches above the level Of the ground,
so that there will be no danger of the
moisture injuring the materials of the
domestic science department which is
situated on that floor. The gymnasium
is the only room whose floor is below the
ground level. It is reached directly
from the main entrance, and supplied
with two shower and locker rooms for
the boys and girls. The gymnasium
itself is 50x64 feet; the floor is of maple,
and the walls have glazed brick vain
coting seven feet high.
On the ground floor, on each side of the
entrance, are open wardrobes for the
housed the home economics and domestic
science departments. The rooms include
a laboratory, fitting room, a sewing
room, and pantry. The laboratory
tables are all supplied with hot and cold
water, gas and electricity. In the
laboratory are laundry tubs, and con-
nections for electric fiat irons. The
Domestic Science laboratory is provided
with a tile hearth for gas range; this
is covered by a hood which disposes Of
the extra heat and fumes. The sewing
rooms are also fitted with electrical con
nections for the sewing machines. 8.
Opening off the Domestic Science
laboratory is the dining room. A unique
feature Of this department is the recess
for the folding bed, which will be used
in teaching the girls the art Of making
q bed properly.

tt IN contains text book store room, a
fre-proof vault, supply room, public
Office, the superintende office, the
library and the principals office. The
superintendent office will be equipped
with the city telephone, an inter-com-
municating telephone connected with the
gymnasium and the boiler room, and
push button board controlling the pro-
gram bells. The north wing of this
floor will house the English and History
departments.
The second floor will be used for the
science work, the biology department
being situated in the south wing. This
includes an office, recitation room, a
conservatory and a biological laboratory.
The conservatory is provided with a
water-tight cement floor, and is lighted
through a sky light. A glass partition
separates it from the labarotory itself.
This room will be used for the propagation
Of such plants and Aquatic animals
as are needed for experimental purposes.
The laboratory itself is furnished with
two students experimental tables, and
several utility tables which are equipped
with small aquariums.
The central section contains the
physics and chemistry departments.
The central room is the lecture room, in
which the seats are placed on ser:e of
elevated steps facing the instructors
table. Connecting with this room on the
south is the physics laboratory, which
contains four tables supplied with hot
and cold water, gas and electrical con-
nections. A work bench with several
sinks extends clear across the room near
the front windows. The chemistry la
boratory is on the north side of the lecture
room. It is equipped with two long
tables, and work bench like the one in
the physics room. A. feature of this
room is the fume chamber which will
keep most of the evil-smelling and
poisonous fumes from spreading over the
whole building. In connection with this
laboratory is another small room which
will be used as dark room for photo
graphic work.
The north wing Of the second floor
contains three recitation rooms which will
house the commercial department. Two
smaller recitation rooms, lighted by
sky-lights. are located on the west side
Of the main hallway. Between. them is
the ireproof booth for the moving
picture machine. ..s 6 ...sS

Delaplane. Va, June 1.-"Here's to
the king; long may he rave"
This was the toast of Helen Morton,
heiress and niece of the late Secretary
of the Navy Paul Morton, when she
heard that her father. Mark Morton of
Chicago, had disinherited her because
of her recent escapades, which have in
cluded running away from home with
out her parents knowledge, buying a
farm in Virginia, and spending a lot of
her fathers hard-earned money. She
was sitting in the living room at Oak
Hill, her new home, happily putting a
cigaret which a visitor had furnished
her. She was wearing a shining black
silk dress with white bodice

Publication Says.

Striking facts regarding our forest
resources, their value and their waste,
are condensed in an eight-page illus
trated circular of the American For

Der industry is said to employ 735, 900
people, TO whom are paid annually
1857 100000 in wages, the worth of
products being $3.50, 100000. The for
ests of the country cover $50, 900, 900
acres.
An average of 20 human lives are
sacrificed annually in forest fires, saws

100000. Damage from insects and
tres. diseases, which follow fire, costs
each year S5O,OOO,OOO. The cost of
destruction resulting from floods is
not estimated. but is given as countless
millions"
But the circular expresses hone
more than pessimism. As well as the
colored pictures showing the forest

age caused by floods, it shows also
forests planted and grown under in

Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment YOU
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for q few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so il no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful edervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then TO keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
well-known local druggist SAYS he
cells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
