Tine Singing OF Carols.

The custom Of singing carols is still
maintained in Italy-indeed, on the
continent caroling at Christmas is al
most unfversal--and particularly in
Rome, where, during the season of Adj
vent, Pfferan may be seen and heard
performing their novenas.
These pilgrims, who, by the way, are
shepherds from the Calabrian noun
tains, annually flock to Rome at this
season. Their picturesque costume is
thus described: ION their heads they
wear conical felt hats, adorned with a
frayed peacock's feather or a faded
band of red cords and tassels. Their
bodies are clad in red waistcoats, blue
jackets and small clothes of skin or
yellowish homespun cloth. Skin SAN
dals are bound to their feet with cords
that interlace each other up the leg as
far as the knee, and over all is worn a
long brown or blue cloak, with a short
cape buckled closely round the neck.
Sometimes, but rarely. this cloak Is of
a deep red with scalloped cape"

MINNESOTA FEEDING SOLDIERS

Hutchinson, Mimi, has made con-
tribution to the food supply of the British
nation which is securing the earth for
necessaries for the commissary depart
ments for the armies of four million men
which she is placing in the field as her
contribution to the carnage which is de-
luging Europe with human blood.
The milk factory of the Hutchinson
Produce company the only factory of
the kind in the state or Northwest-ha
just sent to the seaboard consignment
of two full cars of its famous product,
which was purchased by Trueford & Co.,
of Liverpool, extensive dealers in food
stufs. It is supposed that the flour was
purchased for the soldiers as it will keep
indefinitely and with the addition
of water instantly gives the possessor
wholesome milk, thing the soldier in the
field rarely sees or tastes. It is the policy
of Great Britain to give her fighting men
every luxury and comfort possible no
doubt to enduce enlistments which have
not been coming as fast as desired.
The car will be delayed in it's arrival
in England as it got stuck in the great
freight blockade in the east in which
several thousand cars of freight may be
blockaded indefinitely.

ANNUAL MEET OF FAIR ASSN.
Continued From LIST Page

Huevelmann, j. A. Ochs, H. F. Schrader,
J. P. Graft and Fred Behnke. They
will meet and organize in the near
FUTURE
The property of the Association is
estimated to be worth in the ne ghbor-
hood of $21, 600. There are 100 lots
with an average value of $4,000, the
buildings and the cash on hand. Against
this there has been issued stock to the
extent of only $4,000. In other words
the property is worth fully four times
! as much as the stock which has been
issued: against it and in case of sale
and dissolution of the Association for
every $1,000 share of stock one owns
he would get back the sum of $4,000.
An effort will be made to sell at least
81 900 more of stock and with the ex-
cellent showing the Association can
make financially, there ought to be no
trouble to interest enough people in
and around New Ulm to take this stock.
The annual meeting of the Nicollet
County Agricultural society was held
last Tuesday afternoon at the Office
of Chas. H. Jackson. The reports Of
the various officers, were read and
adopted and showed that the society
had most prosperous year and that
its finances are in better shape than
ever before, says the st. Peter Free
Press. ... .,
Instead of electing member to the
board of directors from each township,
as has heretofore been the: custom, a
special committee, consisting of Stewart
Leaning, county agent; Chas. Kelehan,
high school agricultural instructor, - and
F. c. Davis: wass.:appointed to select
the members of the Hoard of~directors
and in this way tits expected to have
an active board which will aid in putting
on the annuaEsfair of: the association.
This same committee will also revise
the premium list of the association and
bring it strictly up-to-date. They will
report their selections and also changes
in the premium list at special meeting
to be held for that purpose. -
The time of the fair next fall will
be fixed by the executive committee.
J. C. Hutlett, E. E. Miller and A. r..
Davis will be the delegates to the an
nual meeting of the state agricultural
society in St. Paul next month.

Council for acceptance. AS soon as it
has been published it will become
effective and will provide that travelling
photographers must pay a license OF
not more than $40 per day and SIS per
week will be charged and must be paid
before these outsiders will be allowed to
come in here and do business to the hurt
Of the resident photographers.
A new switch board for the fire alarm
system will be purchased and installed
as soon as possible which will be several
weeks The purchase will be made
from the Gamewell Fire Alarm Com
pany of Massachusetts,, the same people
who installed the old board some twelve
years ago. The new board will cost
about $7S2.50.
The lease of a portion of the Public
Landing to the Eagle Roller Mill Com
pany was renewed at SIS per year for
Eve years. Jos. F. Groebner was ap-
pointed first assistant fire chief and Fred
Pfaender, second assistant, by Fire
Chief Engel, and the Council confirmed
the appointments. Reports were read
showing that the receipts of the city
scalers office for the month were $32 and
hat the Street Commissioner had en-
oloyed hand labor amounting to 935
aours and team labor amounting to 239
aours on the streets during November.
The matter of oiling the streets was
discussed and prices for a storage tank
or the oil considered. It is thought
hat a 10000 or 1900 gallon tank will
oe needed and the City Clerk was author
zed to advertise for bids on such tanks.

ANOTHER WoNDRoUs TRAVEL
FESTIVAL.

The predominant feature of Lyman
H. Howe's Travel Festival, which comes
to the Turner Theatre early in January,
is complete reproduction of the
triumphs of palaces and avenues, courts
and colonnades, gardens and pavillions,
that artists and architects have created
in the California Expositions to celebrate
the completion of the Panama Canal.
The one at San Francisco has been aptly
termed "a city straight out of beautiful
dream and that is exactly the impress
sion Howe's film conveys. Here "Howe
Travellers who for lack of time or
means could not make the trans CONT
mental journey, may linger amid pillared
colonnades and statuary groups under
the shadows of mystical towers, domes
and minarets, or within wonderful palm
uncovered courts, and gaze upon struc-
lures of colossal proportions or view the
gala promenades and sunken gardens.
The views of the San Diego Exposition,
too, offer pageant of never-ending
fascination with it's architecture re-
miniscent of the Alhambra in Spain
of old Mexican cathedrals and the still
older edifices of the Moors. In con-
junction with all the grandeur of the
celebrations, Howe's films also depict
the event itself-the completion and
operation of the Panama Canal and
what the linking of the Atlantic with the
Pacific ocean means as illustrated by a
modern steamer passing through the
series of locks and lakes.
Many other features entirely new
and widely diversified will also be in
cluded in the current program.

DR.. DAVIES AGAIN PLEASES.

= The second number of the Lyceum
Course, held under the auspices OF the
Current News Club, was given in the
High School Auditorium last Friday
evening. DR.. James Davies, Professor
# German at the State University
delivered lecture-recital on Robert
Burns, the plow-boy poet. The lecture
proved of great interest to the audience
md the songs were greatly appreciated.
Among the things that Prof. Davies
spoke of in the life of the famous poet
was how during the day, while blowing
and working in the fields which his
father tried hard to claim as his own,
DOOR Bobby" composed the poems
which have given him renown; how the
pretty little lassie, who was his work.
mate, inspired and encouraged him;
now later he stood among famous men,
he once a poor plow boy, but then
superior to all. DR.. Davies said that it
was not until after Burns was dead, that
Scotland realized what great son it
aad lost, for, he said, lit was Burns that
made Scotland, what it now is.
Prof. Davies declared that Burns was
the only poet who wrote poems that
appeal to all people, because they speak
TO the tillers of the soil and at the same
time their exquisite grace and feeling
commend them to other classes of men.
After giving his talk on Burns, Prof.
Davies sang a number of songs that
were written by Burns at the request
Of some publishers of Scotland. These
songs were sung with the spirit that
c]ings to an admirer of Burns, and were
received with much applause by the
audience. Among them were the we'll
known favorites, GLOW Gently, Sweet
Afton,'' "A Fond Kiss, "A Highland
Lass, willie Brewed Peck of Malt" !,
aThou Hast Left Me, Dearie", Duncan
cray, 'tBonnie Wee Things, "The
Bonnie Lass, Phyllis The Fair, Com
mo Thru the Rye, and Scottish Ma
tional Hymn. Mrs. C. W. Miller
accompanied Prof. Davies with the
piano in the songs.
The next number Of the Lyceum
Course will be given in January when
;he Macmillan Dick Trio viii be here.

Christmas feast? Friend or stranger.
it mattered not, the master welcomed
all, and all men who would partook of
his bounty. No man sat down alone
beside his Christmas fire, wrapped in
his own selfishness and careless of
others comfort. No; the great Yule
log was brought with pomp and much
rejoicing from the wildwood, mighty
fire was kindled upon the hearth, and
the whole neighborhood gathered
around to share the genial warmth,
while bright eyes danced with glee as
the Christmas boughs cracked merri-
ly in the ruddy blaze The flush of Joy
was on every cheek, and every honest
heart throbbed with gratitude and
homely pleasures. The wassail bowl
went round, blithe carols were sung,
and merry lads and maidens danced
under the mistletoe boughs.
Christmastide, which was also called
Yuletide, lasted fortnight, and every
body had leisure to spare until the
Christmas revels ended with the
Mosques, the plays and the mad frolics
of Twelfth Night. But nowadays
how things are changed! Even the
week between Christmas and New
Years is full Of industry, and few are
those who devote all their time to en-
joyment The great hearthstones Of
ancestral halls have disappeared.
There are no wide chimney hooks
wherein the brownies may lurk in coy
comfort, and heaven only knows where
