LIKE NEW ULM HOSPITALITY

COur Cnru NlcOlleC county, the st. Peter
Herald has this to say about their stay
in New Ulm: when within two miles
of the city we were met by Mayor
Fritsche and four other business men of
New Ulm, who conducted the party to
the city. Here we were met with open
arms. Mayor Fritsche delivered fine
address of welcome to which Mr.. Mall
gren responded. Talks by Prof. Bal
mer of the Minnesota Extension division,
Prof. Leaning and Frank Osborne were
also given.
"Prof. Balmer is at the head of the
county agricultural agents of the state
and happened to be in St. Peter when
the party left and he was taken along.
In his talk at New Ulm Prof. Balmer in
the course of his talk said: Ladies and
gentlemen, I am glad to have the
pleasure of participating in this COM
munity trip. 1t is only in tours of this
kind one learns of the man who lives
next door. 1 certainly have enjoyed
this trip and have had the opportunity
of seeing Nicollet county. There are
twenty-five farm bureaus in this state,
employing county agents, and am happy
to say that the tour today has been the
biggest thing of it's kind that has ever
been pulled off in the state
AFTER the speech-1naking the ST..
Peter band rendered some more music
and Crary's Jubilee Singers took the
fancy of the citizens of New Ulm with
their singing. A short sightseeing trip
of the city was then made, in which we
were impressed with the number of
buildings that are being erected there
this year. We have been informed that
over sixty buildings of various kinds are
being built
The Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch re
ports ourreception Of the Sleepy Eye tour
as follows:
From Searles we We're escorted to
New Ulm by a county seat delegation
consisting of H. Krook, f. p. Zschunke,
Emil Hage and Henry Samsen. The
tour from Searles to New Ulm was the
busiest of all, but also one of the
happiest, and as we We're en1ptying into
the metropolis of Brown county the
spectacle presented was beyond measure
of comparison for majesty.
AT Turner Hall in New Ulm a
sumptuous banquet awaited us, ar
ranged by the Commercial Club of that
city and was in line for excellence with
everything they do. The table was
loaded with good solid, food-just the
thing for bunch of hungry and weary
tourists, and after the dinner cigars pre-
ceeded the toasting. President Otto
meyer of the New Uln Commercial Club
was the first to speak. He was glad to
have the opportunity of returning a
favor that we had rendered New Ulm
tourists year before and remarked that
after all we should live to make life
more agreeable for o1u neighbor:' MIR.
Ottomeyer after promising a big New
Ulm delegation for our fair, introduced
Mayor Fritsche.
mayor Fritsche was brief in his re-
marks but cordial and no one could
have heard them without having higher
opinion of New Ulm's chief.
CDR. Kiefer of Sleepy Eye, president
of our Commercial club followed DR..
Fritsche, and in behalf of the Sleepy Eye
Commercial club thanked the New Ulm
Commercial club for the splendid ban
quet they gave us. The doctor thought
it would be advisable to designate Fri
day as "New Ulm day. at the fair.
Editor Hodges of the Sleepy Eye Herald
Dispatch was then called on for few re-
remarks. He expressed his hearty ap-
probation in behalf of Sleepy Eye in
general for the splendid banquet given
us at New Uim. Supt. Geo. Butler of
Sleepy Eye responded in snappy and
interesting talk, when called on for an
address. He said that altho we were
supposedly advertising fair, this was
Incidental, for we were creating good
fellowship of far greater value than we
could hope to gain in advertising. Emil
Hage followed Supt. Butler and made
a fine concluding speaker for the ban
quet. He said he would always remem-
Der the fine banquet Sleepy Eye gave
New Ulm, and thought a better friend
ship than ever, now existed between the
two cities.
"After the fine banquet at Turner Hall
the Sleepy Eye boosters wended their
way down the Main Street and stopping
il front of the Dakota House did little
more general advertising for the fair.
Our meekly band played in the face Of
the greatest musicians in the Northwest,
and they never played better before.
To show that they appreciated it, the
