WHY WE SHOULD HAVE GOOD.
TIMES"

A great many people are weighed
down with the belief that we are in a
period of marked, business depression.
And that is exactly what is the trouble;
we are suffering from condition created
by certain fears and beliefs, but; which is
not and should not be the result of actual
causes otherwise. It.. is the old story
over again of the well finger made sore
by constant notice and apprehension.
II No cause is assigned why business
should be depressed except that great
foreign war is in progress. Why should
that affect business? 1t is known that
the entire foreign trade, export and inn
port, is. but about per cent Of the entire
trade OF the United States. An outside
estimate of the effect the war has had
upon our foreign trade would not exceed
one-half, so that not more than ! per cent
of that business has been disturbed by
by the war. Is it not incredible that
business depression should be created
by. causes which affect only so small a
percentage? " >:
And yet the war brings two offsets.
It is calculated that nearly: a half billion
dollars worth Of orders have come: to, the
United States from the warning nations -
orders for goods which the war prevents
the manufacture of across the water.
All Of this business is clear gain. This
is one offset: :.
The war has opened up new business
with South America and promises to
supply us 3 with a vast trade hitherto
| monopolized by European nations. This
I is the other offset and an emphatic one.
! Then we must consider the added
value the. war has given to. exportable
food stuffs and the prospect Of being
called upon to supply the most OF Europe
as long as the war lasts. Already the
fields Of this country are plowed ir
expectation of the crop next year which
will be worth more than has crop fol
many years. A steady stream of foreign
money will set in. to this country ant
there is the promise of the largest trad'
balance in our favor that our nationa
books ever have shown.
Why should there be a depression il
commercial and manufacturing affairs il
the circumstances set forth? Why SHOULD
mot these conditions make for GOO
times, on the contrary? Are we to b
kept in financial furry BY a condition
which is almost entirely imaginary?

Onward pass on his end position.

forward pass on his end position.
Springfield kicked off, and the local
boys at once started their march to the
goal. Straight football thru the line
was enough to score within three minutes
Of play when Leo Berg at quarterback
shot thru tackle for touchdown.
Peuser added another in the same period
by a run around end. One more touch
down was added by. the New Ulm boys
in each ofthe other three quarters.
In the second half New Ulm opened
up with an assortment Of forward passes
that were wonderful ground gamers.
Durbahn alone gained two hundred yards
of passes according to the referee. The
five passes tried by springfield were all
intercepted. ,...%
Springfield held New Ulm for down
once, while they made only one first
down throughout the whole game. The
Springfield team was outweighed con-
siderably, but although outclassed from
the beginning they put up an exhibition
of clean and hard playing. New Ulm
was able to gain through the line and
around end almost at will, while the
passes were varied enough to keep their
opponents guessing.
The members of the whole New Ulm
squad were unanimous in their COM
mendation of the fine treatment they
received from Springfield during and after
the game. The high school girls served
lunch to the players after the game at
the high school building, and in every
way tried to make this an suspicious be-
ginning for New Ulm-Springfield athletic
relations.

Senator-elect Potter at the farmers
meeting last Thursday gave mighty
sensible talk on the ACCESSIBILITY of the
farmers doing something for the general
good. He said there is no real salts
faction to be obtained from ones efforts
unless there is some sacrifice required and
advised all the farmers to put a shoulder
to the wheel and help to make the Brown
County Fair one worthy of the county.
He stated that the Fair has usually been
held at date too early for the farmer
to find it convenient to make exhibits
and that it will probably be found wise to
set the date about the first of October.
If this is done the farmer will be able to
spare time enuf to bring stock to town
and to prepare exhibits of agricultural
products. This is all that has been
lacking in the past and he urged that
the Farmers and Breeders Association
take hold Of the: proposition and help the
Agricultural Society to accomplish
what they have been struggling for so
long. A good idea, none better, and we
hope that those who heard Mr.. Potter
will remember what he said.

Tree. Everybody will want to bring
the little folks down town to enjoy the
spectacle and if gifts are left until the
last few days there will be hurry and
worry and some one will be guilty OF
crossness to small son or daughter who
insists of having the good time the
business men want to give the children
Maybe there will &c guests, too, to be
entertained, and if the gifts are not all
selected and safely tucked away there
may be score of annoyances. The
merchants began months ago to get
ready for your Christmas calls. Respond
to their efforts and buy early so that they
too can have time for a pleasant week
before Christmas.

While we are lecturing wee bit, isn't
it true that just of late there is a good
deal of unkind gossip going about the
town concerning your neighbor? Are
you helping it along by adding your mite
or are you resolutely closing your mind
and your lips against such thoughts and
words? That is the only thing to do,
especially at this season of the year.

 STRAITS AT ToRREoN.

Mexico City, March 21,--About 2,OOO troops are being rushed northward Tonight and officers make no secret that they are to reinforce Gen. We lasco at Torreon. The war depart. ment, however, insists they are be- ing dispatched towards Matamoras and the government denies that the rebels are pushing the attack agains. Torreon, although admitting that they are within striking distance. The re. Inducements include the crack Twen- ty-ninth, with three batteries of artil- lery and thirty automobiles.
 It is reported unoffleially that 5000 federals under Gen. Pena have been forced to fall back to Bermeiillo, north of Torreon, Gen. Pena being among those killed. This is denied by the war department
 It is suggested here that Villas movement against Torreon may be a feint to enable him to move east ward through Sierra Mojado and Mon- elova. in the state of Coahuila, to- ward Monterey

 STATE ARE NOT DIVIDED

Douglas, Ariz., March 21.-General faction among Mexican residents of Colonia Morelos, Sonora, last week, through his refusal to apportion the farms, houses and other property of American Mormons among them, ac- cording to reports brought to the bor- der today. The MeXicans already have possession of most of the prop erty as result of the flight of the Mormons last year during the various raids, but they wanted a complete title from the government.
 The Carranza party is reported to have pressed into service all avail able teams belonging to Mormons re- maining in the colony, declaring they would not be taken farther than Co lonia Oaxaca, 25 miles southeast of there, near the Chihuahua border It was said however, that when it was found other teams were not available at Colonia Oaxaca, the Carranza par ty compelled the owners to go through Ojitas pass and into Chihua- hua and that the teams and their own CTS have not returned to Morelos. Hundreds of persons will be com ing out of Sonora the next few days, according to rumors. because of thn desperate food situation caused by the depreciation of constitutional cur. rency.

FederaIs Driven Back.

Herrera fought the most i'm portant engagement of the advance near Hacienda Santa Clara, 22 miles north of Torreon. in the engagement 106 federals were killed, according to report. The rebel loss is reported as slight, three killed and seven wounded.
 The fight took place over posses sion Of 6 spot on the banks of the Big Tlapualilo irrigation ditch where Herrera wished to throw bridge and the construction of which he began immediately on retirement of the ene- my, whose numbers he estimated at 400.
 At other points the federal advance guards retreated precipitately, burning and wrecking as they went. At Noe. the small railroad shops were burned.
 Gen. Villa was elated beyond meas ure and when he took possession of telephone wire, which was working into the city of Torreon, he lost no time in calling up the office of the federal commander, Gen. Velasco. An officer of the latter's staff answered the call.
 T am coming to have supper with you" Gen. Villa began.
 Who are you?" inquired the federal officer, politely
 ''T am an hombre called Franciscb Villa" replied the caifetain
 Well, come whenever you are ready came the answer.
 Villa talked from this city, which he took at a gallop without resist ance. His couriers brought word that the federals had made a poor job of wrecking the railroad tracks.
 This camp where Villa has an im- mense store of ammunition, 1t just outside the city and was the scene of great activity today as cartridges and shells were being forwarded by rail and packed on mules and bur ros to Herrera, Benayides, Contreras and other generals.
 Geo. c. Carothers, United states consular agent, was given renewed assurances of fair treatment to for eigners by Gen. Villa today

priation bill rejected by the house of lords becomes automatically a law q passing the house of commons on three successive sessions.
 The present agitation has been mainly brought a0out by the certain ty of Premier Asquith's Irish home rule bill becoming a law without the consent of the house of lords. Sir Edward Carson is, at the head of the agitation against home rule among the unionists of Ulster He and sev- eral other leading men took the mi tiative in organizing an army of Ul- ster volunteers to resist the intr~ duction of home rule for Ireland in it's entirety. They insisted that IT. ster should be left out of its opera ton.
 The chief point at issue in Ire land is the religious one. Out Of total population of about 4,5O0,000, ap- proximately 500000 are protestants of various denominations. Most of these are found in the four Ulster coun- ties of Londonderry, Antrim, Armah and Down. The other five counties of Mister are predominantly Catholic. As matter Of fact, Ulster returns F nationalists and only 16 unionists to parliament.
 There is considerable difference be- tween the people Of the eastern part of Ulster and those of the rest CT Ireland. Many of the Ulsterites are descendants of English settlers sent there by Cromwell to foster the aeri- culture and industries of Ireland after he had subdued the country.
 Others are descendants of Scottish coYenanters. Not all the protestants of Ireland are against home rule. Par nell himself was a protestant

 According to his own story the eA-president came here on a royal mail steamer from Southampton. He kept to his cabin on the voyage and as he was clean sshaven he landed, he escaped recognition.
