DEFEAT MANKATO
&C. SECONDS.

Playing stellar ball every minute of
the time, the local Zoegling team won
hard fought game from the Mankato
Commercial College Seconds by score
of 1S to 20. Although outweighed to
man the local boys put up one of the
finest games ever seen on local floor.
The referee work was good, eliminating
much of the usual roughing and fouling.
The Zoeglings depended altogether on
speed and team work, and while their
opponents we're heavier and better
basket shooters, they could not get
away for enough shots to win. The
all-around work of Muesing was a
feature of the contest. To mention
any other names would be unfair to
the team as a whole, as it was the work
of every man and not that of few
stars that won the game. The score
at the end of the first half was nine to
nine but after that the local boys broke
away and kept the lead to the close.

GOVERNMENT ATTACKS PROB.
LEM OF UNEMPLOYED.

Postmaster Liesch now has an en-
ployment bureau in connection with
the post-ofiee. The government has
just opened up a main bureau at Mime
apolis and applications for labor or jobs
may be filled out at the local post
office. There is no charge for the SER
vice. All persons seeking work of
any kind or men needing laborers for
any purpose, may use this service.
Particular attention will be given

mestics, to obtaining land to be oper-
ated on shares and in general to getting
men and women from the cities to 90
into the country for work.
Postmasters are expected under this

development work in their respective
localities and send reports to the Mime

WILL SAW QUARTER MILLION
FEET OF LUMBER.

New Ulm has quite a lumber industry
these days and the saw mill on the banks
Of the Minnesota is busy place, turn
ing out between eight and nine thousand
feet of lumber daily.
Emil Fritsche and Andrew Tauer are
running the saw mill. They employ
a rs H. P. traction engine for the work
and it keeps a force of 5 men busy.
The logs are hauled in by the farmers
and made up to suit their requirements
for farm improvement work.
The mill has been in operation for
four weeks and the proprietors have
orders ahead for another month. They
expect to have a record of more than a
quarter million feet sawed when they
conclude the season. The raw material
and the product of the mills occupy
nearly block of ground near the Eagle
plant.

GRADE INSTRUCTORS IN CON-
VENTION.
Meet at Mankato To Discuss Pro-
blems.

Eight OF the grade teachers from the
New Ulm Public Schools attended the
Twenty-Eighth Annual convention of
the Southern Minnesota Grade Teachers
Association last Friday and Saturday.
They were Miss Schmidt, Miss Lloyd
and Miss Ruemke from the Lincoln
School, Miss Schilling and Miss Fenske
from the East School, and Miss Starr,
Miss Meile and Miss Lunde from the
Emerson Building. Glasses were dis
missed in their grades while the teachers
were away.
The program of the convention con-
sisted of the usual selection of speakers,
musical numbers, receptions and round
table sessions. Some exceptionally good
speakers were secured for this year.
Among them one deserves special men
ton, both because of his excellent
delivery and his mastery discussion of
timely subject. This was Supt. J.
Adams Puffer, who spoke on ''The
Boy and His Job.
The address of Miss Theda Glide
meister, of Winona Normal School,
probably secured more popular praise
than that of any other speaker. Miss
Gildemeisler is personally known to a
great many of Minnesota's grade teach
ers through her work at the Winona
Normal, and she can always command
an enthusiastic audience. She dis
cussed the subject of "Child Study"
in which she pointed out the various
ways in which teachers can become
acquainted with the natures and the
needs of the children under their care.
Friday evening a general reception
and get-together meeting of all the
grade teachers was held. A feature upon
which many of the teachers commented
favorably was the splendid exhibit of
school work in the Model School.

Among the depositors of the Pitts
burgh Bank for Savings, which fail
ed to open its doors yesterday. arc
41.O00 school children who had $751;
1868 on deposit. Of this number 49,
900 were Pittsburgh school children,
while 5000 lived outside of the city.
BY an agreement with the board Of
education, bank collectors weekly Wis
tied the 1872 city schools. The child
rem brought their pennies with them,
and the collectors took them and gave
credits in little bank books, These
savings are unsecured.

COMPULSORY
VOTING.

Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis, of IL
linois. in an address before the New
England Society of Pennsylvania, at
the Bellevue Stratford, Philadelphia,
last night, deplored the lack Of patrio-
tic teachings by the American-born
citizen. He recommended legislation
that would penalize failure to vote
and that that would enforce upon all
naturalized citizens the dut yto COM
ply with citizenship as loyal Ameri-
cans under penalty of cancellation OF
their naturalization.
The plan suggested by Senator
Lewis may become inevitable sooner
or later. There is always certain
percentage of suffragans in every
community who, for reasons best
known to themselves, refuse to cast
their ballots. There is no reason why
such should not shoulder some of the
responsibility of citizenship. They
are generally the first to find fault
if affairs are not conducted properly
and their lame excuse for the ap-
pearance of political failures in posi-
tons is that the did not vote.But they
should have voted and aided to snow
under such as have no qualifications
for places they seek. The fact that
such derelicts did not vote does not
relieve them of responsibility, at they
allowed the election to go by default.

feurs cannot be to careful, especially
in the vicinity of schools, where child
rem are liable to run across, streets
and roads without taking any pre-
cautions.
Fortunately, so far, Alexandria has
been spared automobile horrors. Sew
eral children have at times been
knocked down, but considering the
number of machines owned in this
city and the great number which come
here from other places, it is FORUM
ate that more persons have not been
the victims Of their own recklessness
or that of drivers of automobiles.
The Charlottesville Progress sug-
gests that the hand Of the law should
fall heavily upon those who break the
traffic laws, and that there be no let
ting up, of the watchfulness of those
whose duty it is to see that these
laws are kept.
1t is manifest that if a driver Of
an automobile wishes to avoid acct
dents, he must do 70 things, first,
be careful himself and, second, avoid
the consequences of the negligence
of others. Amateur drivers find the
latter very hard to do, but they will
be dangerous to the public until they
do learn.
Pedestrians, we must admit have
not yet learned to cross a street and
keep good lookout. Some of them
saunter across staring straight De-
fore them and their minds upon some
problem other than that of looking
out for passing vehicles. They are
negligent but. this is no excuse for
The failure of the automobilists to
look out and avoid accidents.

TWENTY MILLION
MAY BE KILLED.

"The total destruction of life dur;
ing two years of war will reach TO-.
100000 persons" declared Profess
sor Louis C. Parkes, Of the Govern
ment Health Service, at the annual
meeting of the Royal Institute OF
Sanitarians, just concluded in Lon
don.
The speaker expressed the hope,
however, that this loss of life might
somewhat prove a blessin gin dis
euise, resulting eventually in dis
tinct improvement in European civil
ization.
"In the past ages" said Professor
Parkes, evolution of higher types
in animal and vegetable life has gen
orally resulted from cataclysmic
changes, and great destruction by
plague, pestilence, and famine, has
led to an advance in civilization. So
it is possible that this Armageddon
may be of ultimate benefit to human
ity."
Touching on the lowering birthrate
in Great Britain, the speaker declar-
ed that every country in Europe has
shown decreasing birthrate during
the past decade, with the exception
of Bulgaria, Rumania and Ireland.

GENEROUS.
RESPONSE

AS has been stated in the Gazette
a vast meeting was held in New York
Tuesday night at which the Ameri-
can Jewish Relief Committee succeed
ed in raising $75O,OO0 to aid the suf-
fering Jews in the European war zone.
1t is hoped to secure $5,OOO,OOO from
country wide appeal.
More than 5000 people, eager. to
give, were unable to gain admission
and it was necessary to call out the
police reserves to prevent overcrowd-
ing. AS it was nearly 1000 men and
women packed the hall, and as speak
ers described the awful experiences
of their European co-religionists, the
great audience was visibly moved.
Men wept and then exhibited a prac-
tical sympathy by contributing
literally.
The eagerness of all present to have
a part in the work was greater than
ever witnessed.
While some were writing checks
and filling in pledges others were
walking to the platform and depos-
iting everything Of value they had
about them. The very first person to
make gift in the hall was a man
evidently man of moderate means
who strobe down long aisle to the
stage, turned his trousers pockets in
side out and deposited several bills
and some silver at the speakers feet.
He turned away, but in doing so put
a hand into another pocket, and, find
ing money in it, turned back and emp
TIED it's contents upon the stage also.
Without giving his name: without a
word he walked back up the aisle to
his scat.
Then the checks and the pledges be-
gan to come in, but people in the au-
dience lost interest in them when
they saw a woman walk to the stage
ard drop handful Of paper money
and silver upon the floor. Another wo-
nan followed with her jewelry, rings
and earrings, which she placed on the
table. One man sent dollar bill, with
a note saying that he had with him
only $105 and needed the five cents
for carefare home. Others brought
jcwclry and money. the ushers passed
around baskets for the collection, and,
some, too enthusiastic to wait for the
ushers, passed or carried their checks
and pledges to the stage.
With contributions from the cities
over 100000 is in hand, and the
remaining s4,OOO,OOO are expected
within u short time.
