BY SPECIAL REQUEST.

Complaint is made that chill
dren are excessively noisy during
Band Concerts and that Auto
mobiles frequently depart while
the band is playing even using
their cut-outs. These are serious
disturbances and tend to Illustrate
the very purpose for which Con
certs are given. While the Band
is playing there must be ABSO-
Lutte QUIET and parents are
kindly requested, to impress this
fact upon their children in positive
and unmistakable terms. Also
owners of Automobiles should
remember that it is unlawful to
use cutouts within the city limits
a fact which should assume an
added significance when approach
ing or departing from the Park
during concerts. All of us as
Citizens of our beautiful CITY are
vitality interested in it's every
development circumstance
which prompts us to ask your co.
operation in making the occasion
LOT our Concerts one Of botf
education and pleasure.

socialism in Milwaukee. His account,
beginning at the time when they started
out, Salvation army style with drum,
to attract crowd and considering an
audience Of 10 great number, being
rotten-egged, to the time when they
actually got into power proved highly
entertaining. He also told Of the inn
provements made by the socialists in
Milwaukee while in power and the
different forms of graft they cut out and
how they secured greater efficiency at a
reduced cost. He gave the reasons why
the Socialists were turned out Of office,
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-06-10

It was not because their government was
inefficient, but because they had interfer-
ed with graft and had insisted on better
working conditions in factories and the
like, that they were thrown out of power.
He said it was necessary, however, to unite
the Republicans, Democrats and Prohib-
itionists to get them out and he rather
grimly stated that if the coalition forces
should have few more victories like the
last, the Socialists would soon be again in
power in Milwaukee. About dozen Of
the Sleepy Eye Socialists drove down to
attend the lecture.

CLOSE STUDY OF BOIL
WEEVIL TO BE MADE
Houston Would Employ Experts to
Experiment With
Pests

Washington, January i.--Mofe COM
prehensive investigation or the life his
tory and habits of cotton boil weevil
parasites is proposed by Secretary
Houston He wants more funds with
which to employ experts on this work
in order to undertake community ex-
pertinent in controlling the boil
weevil.
Practically all the efforts of the de-
partment Of agriculture have been con-
fined to assisting individual planters.
The new corps of experts would study
among other things the different steps
in the control of the weevil, the de-
struction of the cotton plants in the
field and would determine where the
efficiency of each step might be in
creased by some variation or new pro-
cess.
Rotation in crops, changes in the sys-
tenn of handling cotton and planting
the cotton wider apart have helped
in the fight against the weevil which
has caused millions of dollors of loss
but its ravages still continue and no
varieties of cotton are immune.

domestic strife.

poral blessings that we enjoy and for the
prosperity that abounds throughout the

ours.
above all we should thank Him for
all the spiritual blessings that He has
conferred upon us Individually. and it
should be our principal quota and resolu-
tion to manifest our thanksgiving by a
determination to adjust our lives during
the coming year according to the prin-
ciples laid down in the gospel and with
a spirit of charity to all men and hatred
to none" cardinal Gibbons said.

Ferris to send a telegram to President
Shaw of the Calumet and Hecla Lin

operators to select two and the appoint
ment of a fifth arbitrator to be left to
President Wilson or Governor Ferris.
If this plan Is not satisfactory, Dar-
row said the strikers would be willing
to submit their case to an arbitration
board selected entirely by the President
or the governor. If both foregoing pro-
posals were rejected Darrow asked that
special session of the Legislature be
called to--pass a tonnage tax
