Se,nper Siftings.

Farmers are all busy plowing
and trying to get in as much
wheat and corn as possible and
quite a few are going into dairy
ing most of them shipping milk
and cream.
Semper is booming in the real
estate line, quite a few new land
owners being in the district.
The school directors of Semper
attended the directors and teach
ers meeting April II, and had a
fine program, which all were
very enthusiastic about. What
shall be done in the near future
for the betterment on every line?
We work on, home and school.
It is further hoped we can form
a mothers club in every commu-
ity and try out a good many per-
picking problems and also want
all parents to visit our schools,
and take more interest in what
our children are doing, making
it pleasant for both pupil and
teacher. Let US try. We can't
do more than start on the new
road to-day, The meeting at
Arvada was a success in every
way and hope to see more there.
Considering the weather the
turnout was favorable. Hope we
can have more meetings and in
vite all to attend. We will all
feel better. The afternoon pro-
gram was fine. None better in
any of our lines of work, could
have brought out than spoken of
by the speakers, az one thought
brought on another and all were
in a better mood than when we
started out.
Mr.. Esslinger is gardening and
farming here on the same place
again. All are glad to see him
back again.
Our grange meeting have been
a success, having one hundred
and twenty-three new members
in one months time. It is also
calculated on having a grange
hall built at Broomfela, as now
the meetings are held at Wesley
Chapel every first and third
Thursdays Of every month.
Silo men have visited our local
ity in the hopes of getting more
farmers interested in silage, for
larger returns off of our farms.
Hope more farmers will get in
the habit of having them, as all
who own one expect to put up a
a second one this fall.

SKAT PLAYERS TO co TO NOR
WOOD.

About dozen of the local Skat en-
thusiasts expect to go to Norwood the
25th of July and will endeaver to bring
home at least their share CT the prizes
from the big Skat tournament the live
little town is staging. Over two hun
dred Skat players from various parts of
the state will be there to contend for the
prizes. Minneapolis and St. Paul will
sent the largest delegations. The clubs
of the twin Cities are planning to run
special train to Nowood for the day.
Prizes aggregating $3.50 will be offered.
Norwood is said to be the most en-
thusiastic skat town of it's size in the
whole Northwest. Everyone plays the
game and plays it hard If party Of
Norwood citizens get together there is
just one thing that will break up dis
cussion OF the European war and that
the mention of skat. The Titanic
struggles Of Teuton and Russ are for
gotten in a study of the pasteboards
and the fall of Petrograd becomes a
minor matter as compared with the
proper playing Of good hand.
The New Ulm skat club, which has q
membership Of about eighty, expects
to send a good, strong representation to
the meet at Norwood.

TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE.

Contrary to the old adage that light
ming never strikes twice in the same
place, the steeple of the Congregational
Church stopped another of Jove's bolts
last Saturday night. The Tightening
struck almost exactly in the same spot
that it hit about this time last year.
The tightening struck one corner
OF the steeple and knocked off a few
shingles. From the outside no further
damage was visible but it was found
upon further investigation that the
two-by-six rafter supporting that side
OF the steeple was shattered and will
have to be replaced. Fortunately no
fire resulted from the bolt and the damag-
es can easily be adjusted.
This is the second time the Congre-
gatlonal church has been struck. A
very similar accident befell the structure
year ago. It would seem that the
weather man has some, spite against the
building.

the plan and all the lodges in the United
States were invited to help in the pro-
ject.
The funds for the monument proved
hard to find and at the National Conven-
ton held at Milwaukee three years
later, Grand Secretary Fritz Reuter- said
in the course of the discussion, my dear
Brothers, we all want a Herman's
monument and want one that any
German can be proud of, but so far there
has been collected but $1,000. How
long will it take to collect $4,000 at
that rate? I think we will have to rest
content with the fine idea of having a
Hermans Monument.

to 60 ahead and secure the necessary
building materials. He was also ap-
pointed foreman of the work. The

commenced in the spring of 1883. The

WILL CELEBRATE FIFTIETH AN
NIVERSARY.

The St. PauPs Lutheran Church of
this city has commenced elaborate
preparations for the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the dedication
of the local church. The celebration
will take place on August 9th and an
elaborate and interesting program has
been planned for the day.
Last Sunday committees were appoint
ed for each detail of the event and every
thing possible is being done to make the
celebration a success in every way. The
general plan of the anniversary celebra-
ton calls for a very busy day for the
Lutheran Church people,
At ten o'clock on the morning of
August 9Th Jubilee service will be held
at the church. Prof. August Pieper of
Wauwatosa will deliver the main address
at this time. The afternoon service will
be conducted by President Emeritus DR..
William Notz, Of Milwaukee, former
professor at Northwestern College at
Watertown. The evening services will
probably be held by Rev. Strasen of
CORTLAND.
Dinner will be served for the church
members, their friends and visitors by
the ladies of the church at big open
air picnic dinner on the DR.. Martin
Luther College campus. This is to be
followed bv an informal gathering IN
the college grounds and a program of
speeches, music and general good fellow
ship.
The Ladies Aid of the church met
Monday evening at the School House
and arranged for their share of the
program. Committees were appointed
to see about the various features of the
day incident to caring for the large crowd
of visitors that are expected to come to
the Jubilee gathering.

SCHOOL OFFICERS
ARE REFLECTED.
DR.. GEO. B.WEISER AND C.. w. A.
KROOK WILL AGAIN SERVE
AS DIRECTORS.
LACK OF INTEREST
is SHOWN AT SCHOOL MEET
ING.

Sopio arc olCuc1 ulleuCy well pleaSeQ
with our work or else they are thoroly
disgusted", remarked one member of the
School Board at the school election last
Saturday night. The citizens of New
Ulm showed how vitality concerned they
they are in school matters by polling a
total vote of fifty ballots. The ordinary
voting strength of the city is about
twelve hundred and in school matters
women can vote. This would raise the
voting strength to about twenty-five
hundred. Women Suffrage certainly
didn't help the situation great deal.
OF course, there was no contest on
and everybody expected everybody
else to go and see that the school direc-
tors were elected. incidentally, DR..
Weiser and Mr.. c. w. A. Krook were
reelected by UNANIMOUS vote.
The annual school meeting of indie
pendent District of New Ulm opened
in due and ancient form last Saturday
night and before an enthusiastic and
interested audience of two, the clerk
read his report of the financial state
ment of the city schools for the year.
The report was printed in full in the
last issue of the paper and shows how
the money was spent on the schools.
1t was then moved and seconded
that the next school meeting be held
in the assembly room of the new high
school at seven-thirty o'clock of the
third Friday of July 1916. AS there
was no more business to come before
the meeting the election of officers was
taken up. DR.. G. B. Weiser and Mr..
G. w. A. Krook were nominated to sue
coed themselves and the polls were
declared open for one hour to allow
the good citizens of New Ulm chance
to express their choice in the selection
OF their school directors for the year.
Evidently the people are satisfied as
to the way things are being run for they
cast an unanimous ballot of fifty votes
for the two directors who have SO long
served on the board.
The people of New Ulm are to be
congratulated more upon the calibre
OF men who were elected to the respon-
sible position than upon their interest
in school matters. Only fifty votes
were cast but those fifty votes elected
two men whose long experience in the
school work makes them very valuable
members of the board. Both men
have been on the school board for fif-
teen years and have watched the school
system grow during that time SO that
they are conversant with all the needs
OF the New Ulm schools. They are
better men than the lack Of interest
in school matters would warrant the
town in getting.
Prof. A. F. REIN and Jos. Hofmeister
acted as judges of the election and Ad.
Meile and H. F. Schrader were the clerks.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS.

AT the meeting of the Commercial
Club held last Friday night it was
definitely decided that New Ulm should
not be bidder for the State Women's
Reformatory and the application that
had already been made for chance at
the proposed state institution was ordered
withdrawn.
Several good reasons were offered why
New Ulm should not go after the in
stltutlon. The conviction seemed to
prevail that New Ulm could never hope
to receive any benefits from having the
school located here at all commensurate
with the cost involved. A big donation
OF land would be expected from the city
as well as other concessions. This would
hardly pay when the nature of the in
stitution is considered. A reformatory
is quite q different proposition from a
normal school or one of the big schools
such as Fayibault has. These schools
bring q desirable class of people to the
town who are real asset to the com.
munity. On the other hand, reforma-
tory does not bring as desirable a class,
certainly nor class that will ever be of
any real benefit to New Ulm. After
careful consideration of the question
IN all its phases it was decided to with
draw New Ulm's application.
The Boosters trip to various points
in the state by auto was indefinitely
postponed by the club. All were agreed
that such trip would be fine thing for
New Ulm but the recent attempts at
working the roads, coupled with the
heavy rains that have kept up all summer
have made the roads caution in out
lying districts and it was decided to
wait for some time before attempting
to boost New Ulm by means of an auto
trip.
The projected Municipal Picnic was
dropped as it was thot that with the
many conventions and celebrations al
ready held in the city during the summer
and the coming Of the big circus, coupled
with the weekly band concerts at Ger
man Park ample provision has already
been made for the amusement of the
people of New Ulm.
The committee which was appointed
to investigate the central heating project
BY actually visiting cities where the
waste steam is utilized has not yet been
able to agree upon day when all can
get away to visit at Owatonna and
Albert Lea and 80 had no report to
submit. The heating project is far
from dead, however, and in the near
future the committee expects to take
its trip and then report on the success
other towns are having with central
heating plants.
