COUNSEL FOR BELL COMPANY
Samuel H. Harris, Native Arkansas Man, Is Chief Attorney for
 Southwestern Phone Go.

Carrolton.-Samuel H. Harris. gen. eral counsel of the Southwestern Bell telephone system, is a native Arkan- san who has achieved remarkable suc- cess in his profession. He was born in Carrolton, Carroll county, 56 years ago
 While Harris was still quite young his family moved to a farm in north western Missouri, but Harris did not feel that life as a farmer was the work cut out for him, and in order to satisfy his ambition he left home and migrated to Kansas. He worked hard and during his spare moments studied law.
 After practieing law in Kansas for several years Harris moved to Okla homa, which at that time was at the beginning of rapid advance in pop ulation as a result of land grants of fered to new settlers. He was very successful in Oklahoma and quickly became one of the leading attorneys in the state. In 1906 he became gen eral attorney of the Pioneer Tele- phone company of Oklahoma. In 1909 he was appointed by the Governor as a member of the committee desig- mated to revise the Oklahoma code of laws. This work was finished in 1910, and the volumes containing the re qualification were known as the liar ris and Day Code of Oklahoma"
 Harris reputation as a lawyer scarcely overshadows his standing as a sportsman. Fond of fishing and hunting and kindred sports, he has thrown himself into those things which stand for recreation with the same enthusiasm which has charac- terized his work as lawyer. For several years he has been president of the Oklahoma State Sportsmen's association and the Oklahoma Game and Fishing Protection association, and has assisted in drafting many of the game and fish protection laws.
 Judge Harris never forgets his na- tive town and state. Very frequently in his speeches he fondly refers to the place of his birth.

One might conclude that there had just come about general awakening to the importance of the collar, if the number of new designs brought out measures the demand for novel neck wear. Those who provide it deserve all sorts of credit, for the neck may be becomingly dressed now whether it be thin or fat, long or short. There are all kinds of collars for all kinds of necks
 For the thin woman the turnover collars and those with plaits at the back are an inspiration. For her, col lars are made closed and high at the front, or with only narrow opening and deep turnover cape at the back. They are wonderfully becoming.
 A pretty collar of embroidered batiste is shown at the left of the pic. ture, with the turned-over cape at the back also pictured This is one ex- ample of very popular type, and there are great numbers of similar styles in lace, net and embroidered materials
 At the right, a collar with long pointed wings at the sides is shown It is made of batiste and net com bined with dainty pattern embroia- cred on both. It is high in the back All these collars of sheer fabrics-in- cfuding laces-are wired to hold them in position.
 Besides being very becoming and

to it's left bank on the ground that the Rhine formed the boundary line of Roman Gaul. Though the Roman em- pire reached out beyond the broad Rhine, the river formed, nevertheless, it's effective barrier against the north barbarians. However, when the realm of Charlemagne was divided and the boundaries of Verdun established, the Rhine became wholly the property of Germany, and France early began her centuries-long policy of winning the stream back again. Complete success crowned this policy under the Napo- leonic empire, and the Rhine became once more the boundary of Gaul. The Germans reassumed sovereignty of their beloved Father Rhine after 1871, and in the present war the posses sion of the historic river is one of the most critical questions.
 The Rhine, like a mighty tree in form, receives it's waters from count less tributaries and gives them up to the sea through innumerable off shoots. Its principal source issues from glacial ice 7,271 feet above the

 Rising in the highest Alps in cen tral Europe, the Rhine reaches the North sea after journey of $50 miles, and the last part of it's course Is through a lowland whose surface Is below the tides crest. The river gathers it's water at the base of melt ing glaciers, plunges over great rock masses toward it's lower levels, cuts through the widest mountain valleys, traverses a wonderful high, broad plain, and then, entering it's famous gorge, wanders through exquisite pan oramas, through a lane everywhere mantled with ruins of historic castles, abbeys, churches, and every foot of It's way celebrated by legend or his tory. After emerging from it's gorge, It flows through plain where power full steel textile and chemical indus tries center. Through Germany and Holland the Rhine forms the principal water avenue of central and western Europe, and an enormous commerce Is handled through it's ports.
 The Rhine is international It is divided between Switzerland, Ger many and Holland. That part of the river which lies in Germany, 450 miles in length, has been most dis puted. The French have laid claim

Odds and Ends of Laces.

Every woman possesses what she calls her treasure bag. In it she has odds and ends of laces, ribbons and various other trimmings. Now is the time to get out this bag, go over it's contents, select the things suit able to one of the new stock col lars and then go ahead. Half yard of black velvet or satin ribbon with which to make high stock and bit of lace to add to its establishment will turn out just as smart a crea- ton as any woman could wish for

Where the Rhine enters Ger many, at Basic, it is about 500 feet broad, and, for the smallest river boats, navigation begins here. There is a project to make the Rhine navi- gable from Basic to it's source for larger lighters and small steamboats.
 Lovers of natural beauty mention the German Rhine and the American Hudson in the same breath. The Rhine, however, has many traits in common with the American Missis- sippi It is Europe's most important river, it drains one of the greatest in- dustrial regions on earth, and it is one of the main factors in German commercial development Moreover, the great timber rafts upon the Mis- sissippi, as Mark Twian describes down the Rhine.

 The crispness and body and luster of taffeta lend themselves so we'll to the seasons modes that designers turn to it for day and evening gowns. There is no other weave, it seems, which embraces so many colors and combi- nations of color. Certainly there is no other which can be used to better ad- vantage in making the wide skirts which the present mode decrees.

ANOTHER CUP FOR NEW ULM,

The New Ulm High School track team
consisting OF two stars, Ray Lehman
and Hilton Durbahn, took long chance
at few more trophies in the Minnesota
lnterscholastic Track and Field meet at
the University of Minnesota last Satur-
day afternoon. About three hundred
athletes from the high schools and
academies of the Northwest participated.
The track was so slow after the steady
rain of the last few weeks that no new
records were established. Faribault
High again ran away with the first place,
mostly through the stellar work of their
one man, Hutchinson. The relay cup
again went to that same school. In the
higher class, Lewis Institute of Chicago
won '. out over Shattuck Military Academy
by only few points.
Hilton Durbahn won first place in the
shot put and brought home fine silver
loving cup as a result. Ray Lehman
took third place and medal in the same
event. In the high jump which went to
five feet, four inches, the record made by
Hilton at Mortified, he stumbled at
tour feet ten and was disqualified. In
the discus throw which the two boys had
counted on with the greatest certainty,
both boys fouled in the preliminaries by
stepping out, and were disqualified.
They were little handicapped by the
new style of discus which they were com
PEELED to use. This event went to Owa-
tonna at SO feet, which is about twenty
feet lower than what Lehman had been
throwing in practise. .
This meet ends track and all other
athletics for the year, but the interest
aroused may put little more spirit and
enthusiasm into the other men who have
the ability but not the willingness to
work for their school.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTr
THREATENS TO ENFORCE
SANITARY LAWS.

Nothing definite was accomplished
in the direction of establishing JONI
county tuberculosis hospital at the ecoA-
ference of representatives, of this and ada
cent counties, held yesterday afternoon IL
the office of County Auditor Kennedy at
Mankato.
Blue Earth county was the stumbl-
ing block. The proposition of having
a hospital to the build and maintained
by Blue Earth, Nicollet, Brown and
Watonwan counties was squarely put
up to the Blue Earth county commits
sioners and was turned down. Co
missioners E. J. Davis and T. H. Foley
were in favor of his move, but the Other
three voted against it. Commissions
William Compton would also have Fsea
in favor of it, if it could be adopted Us
the unanimous action of the board, but
he did not want any split three cot two.
Commissioners O. K. Olson andEH. C.
Kraus were not in favor of the project,
unless five counties at least came in.
Commissioner Kraus thought it might
be possible to persuade Faribault county
to join with these four. Farfuauh
county sent no representatives to the
meeting. 1t was recently ascertained,
however that three of the county com
missioners of Faribault county were in
the hospital and two were opposed to It.
but the three did not like to force sahafs
wishes on the two. It was situation
something like that on the Blue, Earth
county board. County commissioners
do not like to start fights among them
selves. Commissioner Foley thought it
would be well to go ahead with -four
counties and let Faribault county come
IN later, if it decided to do so. Olaf.
Schmitt urged this same view. How
ever, the attitude of the Blue Earth
county board remained the same.
DR.. Schmitt called the attention al
the board to the fact that the people
,of Blue Earth county had expressed
their wishes at the polls that a tub
erculosis hospital should be built and
that was their mandate. DR.. rRobinson
Bosworth of St. Paul secretary of the
state tuberculosis advisory commission
said ne did not see where the Blue
Earth county board got its authority
thus to turn down the will of the people
and say the hospital should not be
established unless a certain number
OF counties joined in it. DR.. Schmitt
said it was an imposition to bring all

Rleke and VIM. A. Pfefferle. This
committee was to investigate the Som
sen site and also any other sites that
might be called to their attention. At
the meeting Monday evening they sub
mltted their report in writing which
was an endorsement of the Somsen
building for club room purposes.
According to their report present
quarters give 1872 square feet of floor
space and the new quarters would give
1852 square feet without the screened
porch which is to be 16x22 feet. In
their report they stated that the rent

OF $50 per month and that Mr.. Somsen

Plans showing the side elevation and
also the floor plans for the Commercial

Union Hospital
Proves Its Need
DEDICATION EXERCISES LARGE
LY ATTENDED IN SPITE
OF RAIN.
SKETCH OF HISTORY OF NEW
INSTITUTION AND REVIEW
OF ITS WORK.

Weeks of rain did not succeed in
making failure of the Dedication Exer-
cises of the New Union Hospital altho
there is no doubt that the steady down
pour for days kept away hundreds of
those who would have liked to attend
from the neighboring country and the
villages roundabout. New Ulm citizens
turned out in such numbers that no
evidence of a lack of interest was to be
seen when the program was carried out
at Turner Hall Saturday, beginning with
the serving Of the big dinner by the
ladies of the hospital Aid Association
and followed by the formal speeches in
the Auditorium afterwards.
Before noon the diners began to arrive
at the hall and the first of them were
served promptly at twelve. It was
after two before all who came for dinner
had been served. AS the price charged
was but so cents it is evident from the
returns that nearly 500 persons partook
of the meal. The Association cleared
$4,000 which includes returns from
the sale of postal cards showing views
of the buildings and from the lunch
which was served following the program.
The ladies of the Association feel
very grateful to all who so generously
helped with donations Or by working
with them for the success of the affair.
The program was short and consisted
only of talks. The Introductory address
was made by President Klossner who
spoke of the purpose of the gathering
and introduced Rev, E. F. Wheeler who
was the chief English speaker. Rev.
Wheeler gave sketch of the growth
of the hospital cause since the necessity
for a new institution first made itself
manifest by crowded conditions at the
St. Alexander's Hospital. The facts
as given below in the history of the
movement were practically those men
toned by Mr.. Wheeler in his discourse.
He took the place of F. w. Johnson
on the program.
E. j. Buehrer next outlined the work
of a hospital, likening it to Red Cross
duties where friend and foe are treated
alike, all in the interest of humanity.
Another German speaker was Rev. C.
C. Engelbert of Morton whose topic
was 'In Union There Is Strength" He
spoke of the difficulties to be surmounted
in joining forces Of so many different
minds to work out an harmonious result
such as has been achieved here.
Pres. Klossner called for volunteer
talks and Rev. Geo. Mayer responded
with a compliment for the success which
has been attained and wished the
Association continued progress in it's
work. This closed the program.
The movement for a new hospital
had it's inception several years ago.. at
time when the new Loretto Hospital
was not in existence, At that time
hospital facilities were decidedly in
adequate and because the trustees of

advance agent of the F. E. Evans
Greater Shows to present his proposition
to the Commercial Club. Mr.. Evans
stated briefly that the show that he
represented was a clean, moral show
and had nothing in common with the
street carnival attractions that have
been popular for some years past and
which leave a bad aftertaste wherever
shown. He stated that the Evans
Greater Shows require Is cars to trans
port them and that they have in the
neighborhood of 200 people. He stated
also that all of their people are taken
care of at the hotels and restaurants.
He read from letters showing that the
Evans Greater Shows wherever they had
been had been warmly received and that
the people were very well satisfied with
the performances. MIR. Gillette desires
to have the Commercial Club take hold
Of the shows and place them on a per-
centage basis. He lays considerable
stress on the cooperation of the mer-
chants in arranging for special bargains
during the week and doing the adver-
Using jointly, on cooperative basis.
The members OF the club present
thought we'll enough of the proposition
submitted by Mr.. Gillette that they
referred the matter to a committee con-
sisting of Albert Steinhauser, H. H.
Walters, Emil Metzinger, Barney Esse1
and Hugo Schleuder who were te
examine into the proposition thoroughly
and enter in the contract with Mr.
Gillette if they thot itadvisable to do So
Mr.. Schleuder refused to serve on the
committee and the other members met
with Mr.. Gillette after the Commercial
Club meeting and spent nearly two
hours in going over the proposition with
him in detail and finally decided to sign
up the contract which they did. The
committee is thoroughly satisfied that the
Greater Shows are high class carnival
shows and that if the weather conditions
are right that there will be chance to
make little money for the Commercial
Club.
The Evans Greater Shows carry Is
attractions. They are the TENN One
Dog and Pony Shows, Zenobia, and
