New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-12-09
AcRI. ASSN. ASKS ATTENTION


held their annual meeting in the CONNER
cial club rooms. The secretary read
his annual report which was published
in the columns of the Review last week.
from which it appears that last year
was a good one financially.
After the report had been read and
ordered filed, the question of the better
ment of the Association fairs was throw
open for the discussion by President
Crone. Attention was called to the
fact that the streets leading to the Fair
Grounds are in bad shape and that since
Broadway is being built up, the cutoff
road from this street to State has been
destroyed and that the condition oil
State Street from North 7th to the Fair
Grounds is such that automobiles are
not able to pass. each other. After con-
sidering the matter fully the members
present felt that they were under the
circumstances justifying in asking the
city council to have North State Street
graded, graveled and boulevarded and
cement sidewalks ordered laid to the
Fair Grounds on this street. A commit
tee consisting Of Albert Steinhauser, F.
II. Behnke and DR.. Emil Mueller was
appointed to appear before the council
and present the wishes of the Society.
Another matter chat was discussed
at length concerned the time of holding
the Fair for 1915 and its duration
whether it should be three or four days
fair. There were differences of opinion
expressed, but on the whole all present
seemed to favor holding the Fair not
later than Sept. 10Th and that if cir
cult could be established the plan Of
holding four days fair might be well
worth trying out. No action, however,
was taken and the whole matter was left
to the Board of Directors.
The question of erecting concrete
grand stand was also brought up. With
practically 100000 in the treasury it
seemed that the time is ripe for erect
ing a suitable grand stand. Pres. Crone
informed the stockholders that new
grand stand of the size and material con-
templated would cost inthe neighborhood
of $1,000 to $4,000 and that he for one
would not care to serve as an officer and
director to assume debt obligation Of
over $4,000. Others voiced the same
sentiments as Mr.. Crone. The matter
was finally disposed of by asking the
Commercial Club to make the "Browr
Co. Agricultural Society,"" s"The Fail
for 1915" and THE Erection of q Crane
Stand" subjects of discussion at the mex,
banquet to be held by the Club in the neal
near future.
The following directors were re elected
for the ensuing year: Ferdinand Crone
w. E. Engelbert, Frank Behnke, II. F.
Schrader, Emil Mueller, Ben. Juni, VIM
Huevelmann, Otto Kohn, Henry Mander.
derfeld, August Dahl, W. H. Gieseke
J. P. Graft, Fred Behnke, And. A. Backel
and J. Kossner, II.
The election of. officers was not held
the same evening and it is hardly
probable that the board will oragnize
until some time in January.

POSTOFFICE HEADS
OPPROvE OF PLAN
Every Postoffice Must Accept
Packages Without Question,
Says Burles0n

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2l.--American
humanity Will not have It's efforts to
save human lives interfered with by
red tape. Every man, woman and
child In the United States who wants
to send cotton to Austria, or to any of
the ether warning nations to be used
In dressing soldiers wounds, can do
SO. And they will have the active CO
operation of the postoffice department
In their labor
Postmaster General Albert s. Brule-
Son made this emphatically plain to-
day. Enthusiastic approval of the
plan suggested by William G.. Shep-
herd, United Press staff correspondent
with the Austrian army, was express
ed by the head OF the postal service.
He stated that apparently some minor
postmasters had failed to realize that
the department has the facff1ties I'd
Transmit mail to Austria. as well as
TO other points in the postal union. but
he insisted that this apprehension will
be removed.
Every postoffice In the United
States will accept every package OF
cotton consigned to Vienna, or to any
other place In the European war zone
where supplies are needed" said the
postmastergeneral. The United
Press may make II as emphatic and
positive as Il can that this department
will aid In every possible way In get
ting these packages of cotton through
tC their destination.
.'Of course, every postoffice in the
United States will accept these pack
ages OF mail. No Office has the right
to refuse to accept shipment of mail.
No office has the right to refuse to
accept shipment of cotton on the
ground that II Is difficult to get II to
Vienna This letter matter rs for the
responsible officials Of he department
to work out | can guarantee that
every single package OF cotton turned
over to the postoffice department con-
signed to Austria and Germany will
be rushed through to Rotterdam and
Berns. where we will transfer them
for cor tinuance TO their destination" !"
1t was pointed out by the postmas-
ter general that shipments to England
and France have been going forwarf
expeditiously for sometime, except TO
northern France.
"The New York foreign mail head
Guar ters are now clear" Burleson said.
They can accommodate hundreds and
thousands OF packages OF cotton for
Europe's suffering men--and an ounce
Of cotton may save mans life"
The postmsster-general said that a
govern ment vessel would not be need
ed to carry the packages, for the pres
ent contractors are varying the
pouches with dispatch.

They Should Be Proud of
Newspaper Which Bars

GIVES THANKS, TOO, FOR

Complains Of Lack of Sympathy
From Other Papers In
Local Campaign

zone reason why sentiment against
the saloon and the liquor traffic has
not swept the nation long ago Is be-
cause most OF our daily newspapers,
with their columns prostitpted by
highly-paid liquor advertisements,
have refused to give proper publicity
and support to the movement for the
abolition of liquor In the United
States. In Detroit. you folk can be
proud Yon have In your city one
paper. The Times, which takes no
liquor ads which has throwh open
its columns TO us. and which suppor.s IS
us editorially."
The Rev. A. G. Bane. financial Sec
retary OF the Anti-Saloon League OF
America, spoke these words Friday
night. In the Jefferson-ave. Presby-
terian church, where former Gov NAL
colin r. Patterson. OF Tennessee, de-
livered another address in support of
the Hobson constitutional amendment
for the nationwide prohibition.
The Rev. Mr. Bane has travelled
through many states with Mr.. Patter-
son. His greatest trouble I'm staging
his meetings was, he said. difficulty
In finding a hall large enough to hold
the crowds. In Detroit, scattering
-handfuls came out
That's how II happened that the
AnttSaloon league officials began to
talk about newspapers.
"Ortside OF Tho Times, we haven't
had much support In Detroit" he said.
Publicity Is the only medium by
which we can poke into all corners
in this fight. know, we can leave
our circulars In the churches. but
many people have the mistaken Inn
precision that prohibition is measure
for church people only. Let me tell
you that the men who hang around
saloons, those who now patronize the
beer or whisky business. are going to
help US when the time comes. They
know, perhaps more than some other
people. just what liquor does. They.
perhaps, have had personal experience.
We could reach these men with pub
licity. am not discouraged. We
have done fairly well. But IL all the
newspapers in Detroit had joined. In
working up enthusiasm for our meet
lngs, naturally. We would have had
larger audiences"
Mr.. Patterson's lecture FRIDAY night
was the last on his visit In Detroit.
He will begin work In Kentucky next
week. after speaking Saturday night
in Monroe, Mich. He spoke at length
about the defense OF liquor men-that
the immense revenue they pay the
government entities them to some con-
sideration.

tcrson. "The people do. The brewers
and distlllers will tell you they do,
hut they are paying the money taken
from the poor wretches who cannot
AFFORD to give II to the saloon. They
are taking II at the expense OF suffer-
ing and misery among woman and
children. The liquor traffic Is only
a dirty sewer through which the peo-
ple.s money passes into the Golfers Of

Shall these taxes be paid by a strong
and sober race of American people,
or shall they be paid by weak and
