The Eagle Mill reports that sales of
wheat by farmers are very light, every
one looking for a big advance. Both
the Eagle and the Roller Mill are
obliged to ship in large quantities of
grain to keep them supplied as their
needs are heavy. They are running
full time to supply the demand and this
means something like 10000 bushels
required daily. Mr.. Bentzin of the
Cottonwood Mills says it's pretty hard
to get good wheat to run full time on
around here but by hustling they are
managing to do so.
So it goes; everyone busy and hustling
and full of confidence, not in the good
times to come but in the ones that are
right here now. It makes a good world
to live in compared with what it must
be the other side of the Big Pond.

NEW ULM GETS BIG CONVENTION

New Ulm will be host to the next
conference of Minnesota's Charities and
Corrections which will meet in convention
in September next year. The news OF
the selection of New Ulm as the conven-
ton city was contained in yesterday s
daily press of the Twin Cities and came
as a surprise to the citizens of New Ulm
who had no linking that the convention
was headed this way. No efforts had
been made on behalf Of the Com
mercial Club to secure the convention,
SO President Ottomeyer states. It may
be barely possible that Chairman Her
man Polkow suggested that New Ulm
would prove an ideal place for holding
the next convention and that they acted
on his suggestion. Whatever prompted
the conference to select New Ulm as the
next convention city makes little differ
ence, the fact remains that the citizens
consider it an honor to have the next
convention come here and will do every
thing in their power to make, the stay Of
the delegates pleasant one. It will tax
New Ulm some, because the number Of
delegates usually attending exceeds 800.
However, New Ulm has had big doings
before and has taken good care Of every
guest and will be able to do so in this
instance.

Second Congressional District will have
to forego the pleasure of hearing the
brilliant orator in this campaign. There
are so many people that have never heard
Mr.. Hammond and want to hear him
that the people of the Second must show
their magnanimity and allow their Con

NEW SYSTEM FOR CITY.

At the last meeting of the City Coun-
Gil held Thursday evening the most i'm
portant matter to receive the attention
of the aldermen was that of securing
more up-to-date bookkeeping system for
the city's business. Ever since the
city's books and accounts were recently
examined by expert accountants, it was
made plain that the system being used
was superannuated and that the city's
business had completely outgrown it.
The poor Bookkeeping system in vogue
here, was, according to the accountants,
responsible for the failure of former city
clerk Wicherski to collect all the money
due the city and this was enough of an
incentive for the Finance Committee to
written report submitted to the council
Thursday evening, they recommended
the installation of new system which
will have perfect check on every cent
that is paid into the city treasury and
what is paid out. This system also
makes it possible to ascertain at glance
whether everything is 0. K. and by
means of it it can be readily determined
if the city is making or losing money in
any department. This new system, con-
sisting partly of stock books and books
that have to be especially manufactured
will cost $225. After the same was ex-
planned to the council the finance COM
mittee was given authority to purchase
and install the necessary equipment.
The contract for constructing and in
stalling the new fly-wheel at the electric
| light station was awarded to the Minnea-
polls Steel & Machine Co. for the sum
of $3.50. Twenty-Five dollars will be
allowed for, the old wheel, so the actual
cost to the Getty will be $725. There also
were other bidders, among them Chas.
Leonhardt of this city whose bid was
$3.50. The successful bidder will be
given about IS days to complete the
work.
The paving contractors asked for an
extension of time within which to COM
plete the blocks on Minnesota Street.
Mr.. Sheply, who appeared before the
council stated that they had been de-
layed in starting and that they could
hardly expect to get thru much before
November LIST and desired an extension
to that date. No action was taken, the
matter being laid over to the regular
meeting, altho the prevailing sentiment
seemed to be that the request for the
extension should be granted. Building
permits were granted to Herbert Bal
trusch and Henry Steinhauser.

BURGLAR GETS $45.

A bold, bad burglar broke into F. H.
Retzlaff's hardware store Friday night
and robbed the cash register Of the sum
of As cents. Just when the burglary
was committed is not definitely known.
Mr.. Retzlaff came home from business
trip that evening and went into the store
about $3.50 and at that time nothing had
been done toward burglarizing the place,
nor an hour later when his son Armin
came back from the country. That it
was midnight or even later that the
burglary was committed is the general
belief among those employed at the
store. Who committed the burglary is
not known, but that he was novice at
this dangerous game is apparent on every
hand.
The thief entered the building
thru a window in the rear part of the
store, directly beneath the office He
must have gotten into the rear yard by
climbing over wire gate protected by
barbed wire on top which is located
on the side toward Groebner's place. A
corn picker was standing between the
window and the open space across the
Retzlaff and Groebner lots to First North
Street and the burglar was hidden from
view and could not be seen by any
pedestrians going along that street.
The burglar seems to have had very
little experience in getting into buildings
for the purpose of robbing them. After
he had taken off the screen, he found
that the clasp had been thrown and that
he could not lift the window and crawl
in as he had calculated on doing. AS he
probably lacked the necessary tools and
the experience he commenced to pry
the putty loose evidently intending to
take out the window pane and thus gain
entrance. Either he struck what seemed
to him an insurmountable obstacle or he
got tired of the job, for he finally broke
the window pane, released the clasp,
raised the window and crawled in. He
then made his way to the cash register
which he opened by pressing the so cent
button and found and took out the Is
cents in change that had been left in
there by the clerk who made up the cash.
After making his big haul the would-be-
burglar retraced his steps, unlocked the
rear door and passed into the open and
no doubt got out of the premises via the
same route that he employed in getting
in. John Bruins who sleeps in the office
never heard a thing.

WILL ENFORCE LAWS.

That the federal government evidently
intends to have the law pertaining to
migratory birds enforced, is evidenced by
letter which Ferdinand Crone of this
city received the other day which reads
as follows:
Portage, Wis, Sept. "a, 1914.
Mr.. Ferdinand Crone,
New Ulm, MINI.
Dear Sir
| am informed that you own land adj
Joining Swan Lake, and that some
hunters cottages are located on this land.
Also many hunters must pass over your
land to reach the lake. I am sending
you herewith copy of the Federal Regu-
latlons and should be pleased if you will
call the attention of hunters to this law.
and also to do all you can in getting their
compliance with these and the state
laws.
liam sending this to you as the local
warden has informed me that YOU are
very anxious to see the wild fowl pre-
served. If this Office can assist you
further please advise me. Thank you
for any assistance you may render.
am, Very truly yours
p. A. Cleasby,
Dist. Insp.
Mr.. Crone expressed himself as very
much in favor Of lending helping hand
to have the federal game laws enforced.
He is DESTROYS Of encouraging the good
sport who comes to Swan Lake for the
purpose OF shooting enough game for his
own consumption. He has, however,
no time for the pot hunter who shoots
only to kill and who then hawks his
birds. That class Of hunters must keep
of his premises at Swan Lake, because
he will not tolerate them. 0

tors and motormen by the award are
entitled to 2 cents an hour back pay
for the sixteen months ending June

they will receive 8 cents an hour
more than the old rate OF pay. The
other employees get an increase of
from 2 to cents an hour, dating from
June /, 1913
The old schedule for the motormen
and conductors was on the eight year
basis and ranged from 21 to 27 cents
an hour. Under the new schedule the
motormen viii receive from % TO 90
