New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-06-30
HAVE SPLENDID TRIP.

If you can't afford to travel, get Mr..
A. P. Book of the Eagle Mills to tell
you of the month of travel and sight
seeing that he and Mrs. Boock have
just finished. 1t is almost as good as
seeing the big West first hand. Mr..
and Mrs. Book have spent full month
visiting various points of interest in
the West and have consented to give
New Ulmites an account of the trip thru
the Review.
Leaving May 23d, they took the
Northern Pacific to the Coast and made
their first stop at Spokane, Wash. where
they spent day visiting former New
Ulm people now making their home in
the far west. Business seemed very
much depressed here and many men
were out of employment.
North Yakima was the next stop and
here the sight-seeers visited big fruit
ranch belonging to cousin. The valley
here is a prosperous region reclaimed
by means of dry farming. A number
of former Minnesota farmers have cast
their lot here and seem we'll satisfied.
Seattle was the next stop and here the
party spent two days visiting friends and
relatives. John Quense, former school
mate of Mr.. Book, was found in the
City Engineers office. It was here
that fifteen tons Of explosives, supposed
to have been consigned to Russia, went
up in smoke and noise doing tremendous
damage to plate glass windows in the
city.
The next stop was made at Portland
where disagreeab1e, rainy weather was
encountered. Here they met James
McKittrick, a former New Ulm boy
now in the Government Reclamation
service. They passed on the Red Bluff, tc
CAL, at once and visited George Books
ranch of seventy acres of fruit and nut
trees. Mr.. Book is doing we'll on his
ranch and has splendid prospects. Here
they saw Mt. Lassen emitting clouds
of smoke but no violent eruption occurred
during their stay.
San Francisco was the next stop
here they remained three days visiting
and sight seeing taking in the Govern
ment mint, the battleships in the harbo1
and China town. A mild earth quak,
was experienced. The Exposition.
buildings are wonderful, the exhibition
very extensive and the illumination ant
electrical effects beggar description
The attendance has not yet reached tn,
proportions anticipated. The hotel &C
commodations are excellent and price
reasonable. It would take month t,

kind neighbors and friends who attended

they enjoyed the flying fish, submarine
gardens and other features. They visited
Pasadena and saw the thousands of
acres of orange groves. Here they met
John Koch and Charles Fielder, former
New Ulm boys and their families. They
are doing fine and are we'll pleased with
the country and it's ideal climate.
Another interesting feature of Pasadena
is the big motion picture plant where
the western "moovie'' thrillers are made.
Anaheim was the next stop of the
tourists and still New Ulm was repre-
sented. Louis Bushard and John
Bastian are upholding the honor Of their
native city here and are engaged in the
real estate business. A drive thru the
surrounding territory impressed one
with the magnitude of the fruit industry
of the far west. Here they saw the
picking, washing, grading and packing
of the familiar '.Sunkist" oranges.
The smaller but equally beautiful
exposition at San Diego was the next
stopping point. This exposition with
it's indescribable profusion Of semi
tropical Vegetation should be seen first
to be appreciated. The rates of the
hotels and restaurants here are as
reasonable as at San Francisco. Dr.. O..
Wicherski is located here as County
health officer. From San Diego Mr.. and
Mrs. Book took short trip to Via
Juana, in Mexico, where they saw
Villas fort, some Of The Mexican soldiers,
trenches used in one Of the engagements,
and other signs of the disturbed con-
ditions of Mexico. Gambling joints and
saloons are far more numerous than
places of legitimate business. Another
interesting feature of the San Diego trip
was the salt beds at National City.
Here the water is pumped from the ocean,
evapOrated, the salt is collected and
shipped on cars to the refinery. The
last point of interest visited from San
Diego was the drive along the Silver

into the ocean, nine miles long and
terminating in Cornado, the famous
beach resort now over-crowded with
American tourists who would ordinarily
be in Europe for the summer.
| Salt Lake City next claimed the at
tention Of the travellers. The usual
points of interest were visited, the
Mormon Tabernacle, Brigham Young's
grave, Salt Lake itself in which they
enjoyed a swim without the usual
danger Of drowning, and other points
Of interest in connection with thu
i Mormon Church. From here they went
to Colorado Springs and visited thu
I Garden Of Gods, Mushroom Park
Balanced Rock, Soda Springs, Iror

Mother o. mine, in the afterglow
Of mothering years L love you SO;
For loving me e'er life 1 knew,
When next your heart new life
grew;
Loving me ON into fair childhood,
When | so little understood
The long, hard way we all must go,
Mother O. mine, love you so.
Loving me, too, when life so sweet
Tempted my hayward, girlish feet
Away from the paths of truth and right
To paths that lead to sins dark night.
Winning me back with loving tone
To ways that you bad made your own
By struggle and stress and pain and
prayer,
BY loves own cords you held me
there.
Mother O. mine, It's mine to take
The burdensome load, the stress, the
ache,
That come IN motherhood's fair years.
The joy, the pain, the love, the tears
'Tis mine to give what you gave me.
Mother o. mine, l would faithful be
To the highest note in the song you
taught
My girlish lips, the music fraught
With all the mother hopes and fears,
That fill to the brim the mothering
years.
Mother O. mine, in the afterglow
OF motherhool's years, l thank you so
For gifts from out your heart.
At thoughts that rise my hot tears
start;
God give me ways to make you know
How great is my love before you go
Away to rest from your mothering;
l would remove lifes' every sting,
And give you rest in the afterglow,
For, mother O mine, I love you so.

PRICES
ADVANCING RAPIDLY;
INGREDIENTS SCARCE

In Americas, as elsewhere in the
cotton belt, interest is evidenced now
in the prospective price of CONNER
cfal fertilizers for the next cotton
crop. Of course the farmers are go
ing to keep down the cotton acreage
next season and continue to plant
II ore grain and food crops, but they
Will plant some cotton as well, and
anyone knows that to make cotton,
fertilizer is necessary. Already some
sales are being made here, especially
for the oat crop soon to be planted.
Indications are that fertilizer pric-
es will be higher the coming season
thaa in many years, fact to which
several causes are contributing. The
absence of potash supplies, since Ger
man shipments have been cut off on
account of the European war, has
created the necessity for devising
some other forms of fertilizers with
as much potash as possible.
There will be no furtilizer, howeber,
with amy large amount of potash in it /;
in fact the percentage will be extra
ordinary small

Potash From the Soil.

Inquiries as to what effect this may
haev on crops has brought forth little
more information than that one shall
have to wait and see. They may do
well on other fertilizers, and, under
favorable conditions, gather such pot
ash as they need from the soil itself.
Another thing that has contributed
to the high price of fertilizers is the
short cotton crop and consequently the
scarcity of cotton seed meal. Cotton
seed are now selling around $40 a ton
and the meal, after the removal of the
Gil and bulls, is bringing $3S per ton,
or more right along.
This is an increase of nearly $40 a
ton in the past six or eight weeks.
There is considerable meal held, but
it is stated that the fertilizer manu-
facturers have secure about all dthey
need.
