New Ulm needs to have street garbage
cans, decidedly. Especially so since the
@.Popcorn Wagon has become so popu-
Ar. The citizens seem to forget that
paper bags strewing the streets give a
most untidy appearance to the business
district. It would be quite easy to crush
the empty sack into a small roll and stuff
It into ones pocket or if one has no pocket,
70 place it in the gutter instead OF throw
ing the distended bags all around the
sidewalks and roads to blow about, litter
ing the streets and frightening horses.
Saturday evening when the storm came
no, in the middle of the block between
Center and First North Street on Mime
sofa street whirlwind gathered together
all the loose paper sacks in the block and
round and round the papers flew.
There must have been nearly two dozen
Of the sacks besides other bits Of rubbish
that. careless hands had strewn in the
street.. It looked bad. Let's stop it.
Get garbage cans, if necessary, but stop

AS THEY SAW US.

As whole the editors voted this the
aest time they had ever had, and the city
which has the midsummer convention
Of 1915 will have to exert itself to come
so to New Ulm's standard.
-Butterfield Advocate
New Ulm is almost exclusively German
and German social customes prevail.
These differ widely from Puritanic Gus
toms but under them a high class citizen
ship is developed that is not excelled any,

The city has furnished it's quota of
leading officials and one of it's sons is now

asscial Paper of the City of New Ulm'

Without detracting in any way from
che credit that is due to the park board
and the members Of the various city coun-
oils for beautifying German Park and fur
aishing Sunday evening concerts, we feel
that all of the taxpayers OF the city are
probably entitled to the bulk of the credit
for paving cheerfully in the shape OF taxes
The moneys necessary to accomplish these
results. It takes considerable money to
keep up the parks properly and to provide
nr the musical evenings, but so far as we
know, no one has been heard to protest a
gainst the expense and this shows spirit
among the taxpayers upon which they are

OBSERVATIONS BY THE WAY.

Those who took part in the Booster
tour thru the County last Tuesday had a
fne opportunity to inspect at least some
Of the. country roads. The best piece of
road without question lies between Com
Trey and Springfield and is credit to the
man who built it. Between Searles and
aanska is stretch of road on which not
a,spade of ground has been turned with
IN the past 16 years. It is really not a
zoad but a mere wagon trail and should
soon give way to the march of progress
and modern road building.
xAOwing to the scarcity of gravel in the
southern tier Of townships, the people
Of these towns have been seriously handi-
eapped in the matter of building good
loads and the roads between Hanska and
Gomfrey do not quite come up to the
IDEAL road as we find it in other sections
of the county.
All the villages visited showed a marked
90 ahead spirit. Business blocks are in
process of construction in nearly every
one Of the municipalities of the County.
Both Sleepy Eye and Springfield have
garages which would be credit to much
larger places. The business streets have
Seen materially improved. This is es-
pecialy noticeable in Sleepy Eye where
municipal pride has transformed the
main business street from a mud hole
into:ass*7eet which is the equal of any in
the city of New Ulm.
With the exception of but few all who
look part in the tour were on deck when
the boosters marched thru the various
towns and made fine showing. Prac-
siacAy all of New Ulm's industries and
business houses were represented and
they put up united front. Some of
the cider boys showed as much spirit
as the young fellows and marched every
time when some of the younger ones
flunked. 1t developed also that New
Ulm has considerable talent oratorical
that knows how to tell stories that make a
hit

War Declared Between Ru..i. and
Germany in New Ulm.

{ s . $ /, + S 6 i ~
Last Saturday afternoon, there oc-
CURED a little alteration in one Of the
business places Of the city, between a
stranger, Russian, and a German,
about the war in Europe. The Russ
claimed that they could lick Germany;
the German stood his ground manfully
and the first thing that happened, the
German had the Russ by the throat and
the proprietor Of the place could not
separate them. The police was called,
the Russ was black and blue in the face,
but owing to the fact that the alteration
was about the European war, no arrests
were made. Germany won in that
contest.

count was involved. Mr.. Preus also was
closeted with Mr.. Lee, but he insisted
that the meeting had only to do with the
completion of the state committee. The
Republican state committee is having
difficulty in getting it's campaign started
until it knows who the nominees will be,
and altho Mr.. Rines has not made enuf
gain yet to indicate that he will replace
Preus on the ticket, the contest, at the
present rate may drag on for month or
more, and as long as it is not finally
settled no one can be absolutely certain
of the outcome.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Lee and the Re
publican candidates for state offices met
at the state capitol and arranged for the
completion Of the organization. It fin
ished with an agreement to meet the lat
ter partkof August and decide on plans
for the conduct Of the Republican cam
paign in the state. While to all intents
harmonious, there were chickering's at
times and Mr.. Lee was compelled to erase
from his, list Of workers several names
claimed to be antagonistic to the inter-
ests of the other candidates. Secretary
of State Schmahl is understood to have
led in this respect, he making strenuous
objection to selections covering his own
district. All the candidates were present
with the exception of State Treasurer
Smith and J. A.. O. Preus, the authorship
nominee.
Robert w. Hargaine, st. Paul, secre-
tary of the state central committee, who

this week with heavy bunch Of scalps
to his credit. His tour of the southern
section Of the state was marked with sue
cess and the list of club members filed by
him with the committee runs into hun
dreds. Southern Minnesota was once
regarded as a Republican stronghold, but
Mr.. Hargaine predicts the Democratic
gubernatorial nominee will carry num-
Der of counties in that section.
Congressman Sydney Anderson, of the
First District, is said to be worried over

presented Olmsted County in the Senate
and is regarded as strong candidate.

mittee and it's members are already on
the job.

CAPITOL GOSSIP.

Congressman w. S. Hammond, the
Democratic nominee for governor, is ex-
pected back in Minnesota the last week
in August and shortly after that will make
his keynote speech, in which he will set
forth the issues of the state campaign
and tell where he stands on the questions
interesting the voters Of Minnesota. Mr..
Hammond's desire was to return and
start getting acquainted with the voters
abput August l, but adjournment Of
Congress has been delayed and the Eu-
ropean war apd other unexpected devel-
opments have made most of the members
stick pretty close to the capitol. The
debate on the antitrust measures, how
ever, is drawing to close, land if Congress
does not adjourn by September l,
the House at least will hav e it's work
practically completed so that Mr.. Ham
mond may be excused.
1t lisa frequent remark these days that
| if the election were held today, Mr.. Ham
mond would be the winner. If he can
get away from Washington in time to
make six weeks or two months speaking
campaign, and get before the. voters, it
is certain that his chances will be still
better. Nevertheless, Mr.. Hammond
is getting much favorable comment be-
cause of the way he is sticking on the job
in Washington.
1t is of record that Congressman Ham
mond did not leave his official post at
Washington for a day all through the
primary campaign. He was ever on the
job, and while his absence was handicap
to his Minnesota hackers, still the voters
appreciated his attention to duty and
showed their endorsement of his course
by giving him the nomination. After
the primaries Mr.. Hammond made one
trip to Minnesota to attend the meeting
Of the nominees and name the state cen
trail commit ee, on the day fixed by law
but hurried back to Washington, where
he lids since been on the job in Congress.
There is no more eloquent speaker in
Minnesota than Congressman Hammond
and those who know him are counting
much on the favorable impression his
appearance on the hastings will create,
vet they know that if duty calls and
Washington deamnds his attention he
will be there. However, Congress is
drawing to close and Mr.. Hammond has
already made several dates for speeches
in Minnesota in September. The exact
date and place for the opening speech
have not yet been set, but will be fixed
soon.
The Rines-Preus authorship recount
continues to drag on, with Henry Rines
Of Mora the beneficiary to date OF about
100 votes net, having cut J. A. 0. Preus'
majority down below 900. Seven coun-
ties have been counted so far, including
St. Louis and part of Ramsey. The con-
test has proved somewhat embarrassing
to VI. E. Lee, the Republican candidate
for governor, because Of the feeling en-
pendered between the friends OF Mr..
Rines and Mr.. Preus on account OF the
contest. Lee was supposed to be favor
ING Rines before the Primaries, but i'm
mediately the primaries were over, Lee
and Preus began working together on the
campaign plans. Last week Mr.. Lee and
~ pines conferred at the state capitol,

An interesting feature to many Of the
visitors at New Ulm was the Monotype
plant, in the office of the Review Publish
ing Company. ,. z,..
Another point Of interest was the post
office, where Editor Liesch holds forth
as the representative Of Uncle Sam. The
Federal Building at New Ulm differs SO
much from the average postoffce building
that post. office, inspectors visiting the
Brown County capitol have been known
to give up in despair finding the post
Office. In construction it is absolutely
distinct, in its makeup, the architecture
being decidedly in keeping with the
Fatherland. It is said to- be the first
instance on the part of the government
where a deviation was made in the ar
chitecture Of government building and
it Immediately attracts the attention of
the visitor. In this instance the devia-
ton from set plans was secured by
Congressman McC leary who had an eve
for the beautiful and could realize the
appreciation Of the people Of New Ulm
for building typifying the architecture
of the home land across the sea.

Sergeant Claude Johnson of Anniston Ignorant of Death of Father
 and Mother

Annston, June 1S.@(Special) Ser geant Claude Johnson, one of the An niston boys at the battle of Vera Cruz, a member of the Twenty United States marines, is still ignorant of the loss of his father and mother, who have died since he left the United States sometime ago on cruise.
 At least this is inferred from a let ter received from him by the Anniston Star in which he writes humorously of the fight on mosquitoes at Vera Cruz, but makes no mention of his parents death. A futile attempt has been made by his sisters, Misses Kate and Annie Johnson, who live in, Annis- ton, to get in communication with their brother since the death of their father and mother.
 w. s. Johnson, the father once a wealthy pioneer citizen of Anniston. died on April l, and his mate of a life time followed him to the grave on May &.

curb the growth of petunias or to re- strict them to certain limits. For the best results let them make a rampant growth and do not mix them with other flowers.
 Zinnias are considered rather coarse flowers by many. But zinnias have a mission--they grow nearly any where for anybody. When you begin to study the sturdy plants. their sub stantial foliage and strong symmetrical growth you will begin to like them more for their dependability and faith fulness than for other reason
 The newer sorts show splendidly con trasting colors which are well fixed. Some of them have unique curled pet als. not unlike cactus dahlis. Zinnias also are procurable In three heights like marigolds. The dwarf minia- ture averages four inches tall, the compacta varieties 2 inches; the tall sorts as high as three feet on good garden sois
 Here are a few practical combina tions for flower beds of annuals:
 Tall crimson zinnias for center of round bed or background of ribbon bed, rows IS inches apart 12 inches be- tween plants. surrounded with row of eschscholz and bordered with em : press candytuft.
 Orange prince marigolds for center or background. surrounded by row of compact white zinnias, bordered with dimorphotheca. All rows 2 to IS inches apart, to 12 inches between the plants.
 Verbenas in solid color for dwarf rib bon bed, plants 12 inches apart each way When well established, border bed with mixed phlox. Water frequently.
