FIRST ON YEARS PROGRAM OF
ACTIVITIES COMES BOOSTER
TOUR.
NEXT A JOY RIDE FOR THE
KIDDIEs. EXPRESS DELIVERY
TOO SLOW.

DrlgnC ana early 1Or the opening OF the
hunting season, or making preparations
to 60 out, it was hard work to corral
Club to be able to have meeting.
Those present showed a keen interest
in the matters under consideration and
discussion, however, and the meeting
on the whole may be considered very
successful one.
AS result of Mondays deliberation
there will be another booster tour of the
Commercial Club and the route to be
taken will be the one that was planned
last year. When the matter of the
booster tour was preached, every one
was highly in favor of it. 1t was made
apparent in the discussion of the subject
that, on account of the conventions that
are due here next week and the following,
if there is to be booster tour at all, it
would have to be pulled off at once and
it was therefore decided to have it
Friday this week. The committee con-
sisting Of Charles Vogtel, August Dahl,
Albrecht Stork, ]. A. Ochs and DR.. A.
V. Seifert will Immediately get busy and
have everything in readiness so that the
booster tour can take place Friday as
planned. The only thing that can stop
it would be the advent of bad weather.
While Joy ride was arranged for the
old folks the children were not forgotten
either. It occurred to the members of
the club that quite number of the
children of New Ulm have never had an
automobile ride, and it was unanimously
decided to arrange an automobile ride for
the kids. F. P. Zschunke, P. Liesch and
F. H. Retzlaff were appointed as a COM
mittee to look after this. Several cities
have had these auto rides for the children
recently and they all proved very sue
cessful.
Complaint was made that the service
thru the express companies is not as
rapid nor as efficient as the people have
right to expect. Instances were men
toned where it took % hours to have
package reach New Ulm from the twin
cities after they had been delivered at
the express Office. Other instances were
related where packages had reached the
local office. and had been allowed to re-
main there for several days before anyone
knew that they had arrived. The
matter was disposed of by referring it to
the transportation committee, of which
F. Fl. Retzlaf is chairman.with authority
to sift the matter down and locate the
trouble and if it should rest with the
express companies in the Twin Cities
that then the Commercial Club file
protests with the Commercial Clubs Of
both St. Paul and Minneapolis. It was
asserted at the meeting that quicker
service could be obtained by freight than
by express from the twin cities.
An effort will be made to secure an
official badge for the members Of the
Commercial Club, the same to have an
appropriate design with an appropriate
inscription. If possible the badges shall
be secured before the convention for the
the Conference of Charities and Cor
rections. The secretary was instructed
to get into touch with badge manufac-
turers and secure designs and prices at
an early date.
The census matter was again up for
discussion and was laid over until the
next meeting for final action. The
