UNION PICNIC AT RIDGELY.

The union picnic of the New Ulm,
Fairfax and Winthrop G. A. R. Circles
and their friends, held at old Fort
Ridgely last Thursday was a thoroly
enjoyable affair in every way. The
weather man ordered special brand OF
Observation-Disclosures weather for the day,
thing he is doing very little of this
summer. About two. hundred people
took part in the celebration at the
historic old fort.
Going by auto and by motor bus,
literally decorated with old glory, the
united G. A. R. Circles and their friends
took the fort by storm even as the boys
in blue wont to sweep the Notifications
some fifty years ago. And Ridgely was
ready for them. Instead of hauling
down the flag in token of surrender the
soldiers hoisted more bunting till the
place was gay with the national colors.
But the surrender was complete, never
the-less, and the fort did everything in its
power to make the visitors welcome.
A picnic dinner was served on the
grounds in which every one joined with
the healthy appetites engendered of the
long ride in the open air. After the
dinner, a program of recitations, speeches
and songs followed that was patriotic
in the extreme Commander Hopkins
of the Winthrop post was the one who
stirred them up and the old white haired
veteran accomplished a great deal
towards making the day success. So
enjoyable did the day prove that it was
suggested that the picnic be made an
annual affair and it is likely that this will
be done

MANKATO MAN SUICIDES.

John Miller, Jr., of Mankato, despon-
dent over financial matters and sickness
in his family, committed suicide by
hanging himself in his barn last Friday
morning. He was native:of Denmark
and moved to this country IS years ago.
He leaves a wife and six children the
Oldest two of whom are married.
The victim showed unusual despon-
dency Thursday evening. After supper
was over he went out into the yard and
lay on the platform under the clothes
reel aad refused to leave. His wife
pleaded with him to come into the house
but he would not She remained the
whole evening back in the kitchen, and
at times going out and talking with him.
He gave her little in the way of an answer.
Once she asked whether he blamed her
for anything and he said that he did not.
Once she went out and tried to pull him
in, but without success. At length
about midnight, she left the lamp burn
ing in the kitchen, and went upstairs.
Several time she came back and tried to
get him to go up and retire, but he would
not. She did not sleep the whole night,
fearing that he would commit some
desperate act.
Mr.. Miller had been accustomed to
rise about $50 in the morning. Friday
morning, he did not come to breakfast
as usual Joe Keller, sixteen years old,
who boards at the place, went out to the
barn to look for him. He climed up into
the hayloft and was Mortified to see the
lifeless body hanging there. He hurried
into the house and notified the family.
Patrolman Bell was standing out on the
street, waiting for car and he was told Of
the gruesome discovery. The patrolman
went up onto the barn, where he felt the
body carefully, making sure that the man
was dead. Then he notified Coroner
A. G. Liedlof by telephone. The latter
Immediately went out to the place, and
soon satisfied himself that it was clearly a
case of suicide.

SCIENTIFIC SCREEN At RUBY.

The new screen just installed by S. K.
Leen, the hustling manager Of the Ruby
Theater, is q new wrinkle in more ways
than one. In the first place it is two feet
larger each way than the old screen. It
measures thirteen by ten feet. Again,
Mr.. Leen's wide experience as a motion
picture man has shown him that plain
white canvass does not give the best re-
suits. To secure sharper projection he
has coated the new screen with white
alabastine to which just tinge of blue
has been added to avoid the glare of the
dead white.
But the most striking featureof the new
curtain is the fact that it hasbeen made
with concave surface. The reason for
this is so apparent that one wonders
why someone hasn't thot of it before.
The rays of light that are projected up
on the screen come from small orfice
about two inches in diameter which is
placed at distance of 81 feet from the
canvass. In other words, the lens Of the
moving picture machine must expand
the rays of light from two inches to six
times as many feet. The outside rays
that throw the picture on the edge Of the
screen must consequently, instead of
travelling in straight line to the center
of the curtain must travel along to
hypotenuse of a right triangle whose
legs are 80 and six feet respectively.
That means that the outside rays are
several inches longer than the inside
rays. If they are thrown on a fiat
surface then they will not reach the edge
of the curtain as quickly as the rays at
the center. When the center of the
picture is in focus then the outside edges
will be slightly out of focus. A slight
blur is the result. 1t is only little
matter perhaps, but it is those little
things that make the difference between
poor and frst-class pictures.
''You can't throw a picture on just
any sort of rag said Mr.. Leen. Gun
less the screen is right and exactly
fitted to the lens of the machine the best
pictures in the world will be spoiled.
The size Of the lens, the distance the
projection is to be made and the size
and shape of the screen must all be taken
into consideration. He has used a
similar screen before in his work and
found that much hotter mixtures can no
thrown upon the concave surface. The
new curtain at the Ruby has a dish"
of full five inches. It was also neces-
sary to get new lenses for the picture
machine to meet the requirements Of the
larger screen.
With these improvements Mr.. Leen
now feels that he is in position to give
the public the best possible service.

NO RADICAL CHANGES IN NEW
MAXWELL

The latest of the 1916 models in auto
mobiles has just reached New Ulm. 1t
is the Maxwell advertised as the WON
der Car" because of the unusual good
records for durability and low cost to
maintain.
The tendency to reduce prices among
automobile manufacturers generally the
coming season is emphasized by the new
Maxwell. With complete equipment,
including electric starter and electric
lights, the 5-passenger touring model is
priced at $685., +. o. b. Detroit.
There seems to be no radical change
mechanically. Maxwell engineers claim
that the success of their product would
not be so marked if each new model re-
presented a new idea in construction.
A proven product, they condent, should
not be changed unless some new feature
is perfected that will prove beneficial be-
yond any doubt.
To the ordinary eye, the new Max
we'll is more handsome and has the ap-
pearence equal to that of many higher
priced automobiles. From the new
shaped radiator to the back Of the rear
seat, it is true steam-line design.
There is more room both in the driving
compartment and in the tonneau, three
people being able to sit in the rear seat
with comfort. The upholstery is really
luxurious and there are many minor
features that add to comfort included
in the equipment that often are over
looked by many manufacturers.
Easy riding is one Of the things that
can be truly claimed for the Maxwell.
Well-designed, resilient springs, we'll
hung frame and even distribution
of weight on all wheels make for easy
riding over rough roads, without the ex-
pected jars an bouncing" It has power
enough to climb the worst grades en-
countered on the overrpeed as high as
so miles per hour.

/. There are many people in New Ulm
who know how to settle the war, but
there is nothing strange about that. If
you ever built house you met many
who knew just how to do the job, and
in operating newspaper plant it is a
very poor citizen who does not know
the business better than the publisher.

The character of Manson in "The
Servant in the House." is the visual
lied manifestation of that spirit OF
righteousness which, in the affairs
of men, loves, counsels, chides,
judges and corrects. Mr.. Kennedy,
unlike many authors who use this
figure to point their moral, does not
weakly sentimentalize, but when oc
casion arises, uses the thongs to
drive evil from the heart.
In the character of Robert, "The
Drain Man," Mr.. Kennedy has sym
bolized the spirit of "the publican
and sinner" He has gathered into
one character the cropping blindness
of the submerged. AS a seed that
has fallen into a cellar and taken
root there and pushes its stalk and
leans towards the grating that lets
in the light, so Roberts soul
stretches its utmost longing towards
that universal love ain whom we
live, move and have our being.

thor Of "The Servant in the House."

NEW PHASES OF THE
CHILDRENS WORK
By DR.. w. A. ColledRe

The young women who conduct the
children's work on the Redpath Char
tauquas will follow a new system dur
ing the coming season, method that
will present the stories, folk dancing
and games to the children in a more
\ 'stematic manner.
This year the children's workers
have received a special training in the
following program: On the first dav
the children's worker at each Chau-
tauqua will tell Indian folk tales and
teach the children few of the simple
folk dances OF the Indians: on the sec
ond day. Russian folk tales and Rus
sian folk dancing; on the third day,
German folk tales and German folk
dances, and on the fourth day, Scan
dinavian folk tales and Scandinavian
folk dancing.
The reason for the change from
miscellaneous story telling to a plan
for each day is to make each sessions
work a definite whole. We feel that
this will be an advance step in the
children's work, and will interest the
parents.
The children's workers will also be
ready to give to the parents in each
community two informal talks on such
subjects as, "The Place of the Story
in the Education of a Child" and
"The Value of Play in the Moral De-
velopment Of Children"
We feel that the above arrange.
apent will appeal to the parents and
> ioubly interesting to the children

find that the whole appearance OF
that community is changed Wv
might cite YOU to town after town
that we have watched personally
and we could tell you OF some OF the Y
splendid developments OF these
towns, much of which can be traced
back directly to its source IN thS
great Chautauqua movement-this
moral, this intellectual movement
But after all, the point that we
wish to make in this article shouldV
be of direct and special interest to
every retail merchant, men whose
business success depends largely
upon their community Developments
The original idea of the Chautauqu1
movement was to bring noted teach-
ers. men and women who have ac-
complished things, into the cont
munity where the people might rev.
ceive teaching and inspiration from
them first hand. But this movement
Las grown until now our Chautau-'
qua has become the great American
forum, where the public meets tcN
hear discussed problems and ques-
tons OF moment. II has become 2,
place where the reiormer, the poll
itician. the educator finds open
minds TO receive his teaching ANDY
theories.
But again we repeat, comparative
" few people have thought OF this =
movement as a business force, and
consequently the subject OF business
has been given very little considera-
ton in this movement, notwith-
standing the fact that in the grea,'
majority OF instances the co-opera-
ton and backing OF the business men
Of the community have been neces- =
sary to the success OF the moyemen, '
in that community
Blu, the Journal is glad to note
that there is a tendency throughout
the country 10 consider the subject
OF business and commerce from the
Chautauqua platform. We notice \
that there has been a greater tend
ency this year than there was last
year and former years 20 have spe-~
cial business mems days upon Chau-
tauqua programs. We believe the
tendency is good. - Un-A
dcrs,and tina, we speak of business in
broad sense OF the term. and not in
the little narrow sense OF barter, as
the term is so often understood. or
rather misunderstood.
Just now the question: "How can
we keep the young men at homer" is
a question receiving the attention
not only OF parents but OF educators
and business men everywhere. But
we want 20 say 10 our readers that
in our opinion nothing can be done
that will have a greater tendency to-
ward causing more young men TO
stay at home in the smaller towns
and in rural communities where they
should be. than to give them the
right kind OF broad business teach
ing, just such teaching as they have
right TO expect from this great
forum, the Chautauqua; just such
teaching as they have a right to ex.
! pect right there in your community.
