Laws Governing Subscriptions

Laws Governing Subscriptions
Most readers of newspapers are
not familiar with the laws governing
subscriptions.
Here are the decisions of the
United States court on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
If the subscribers order dis
continuance of their publication the
publisher may continue to send them
until all dues are paid.
If the subscriber refuses to take
periodicals from the post Office to
which they are directed he is respon-
sible until he he's settled his bill and
ordered the paper discontinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher and the papers are sent to his
former address, the subscriber is
held responsible.
The courts have held that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
post Office or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence ofintention to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise the
subscriber is responsible until ex-
press notice with payment of all
arrearage is sent to the publisher

For q Public Park


Why not start an agitation for
a city park?
The pine grove above the
water plant would be an ideal
spot. By placing a few swings
and tables and a number of
benches would answer for the
coming season and each year we
could add new features as we
see fit. On the beach we could
easily install a couple of bathing
houses and thus aid in giving an
opportunity to every one to
learn the art of swimming.
Now is the opportune time to
start this agitation-don't wait
until next fall when leaves be-
gin to drop.
Ere many days spring will
be here in all it's glory when
we should be busy planning and
identifying our proposed park.
Let's get out of the Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber, wake up, shake
the dust off and do something.
Yours for a public park,
Frank G.. Skuhra.

ROY BERG SELLS OUT.

Last Wednesday Roy Berg sold out
his second hand store which he has
operated with success for the past
several years, to Frank Eckert. Mr..
Berg will retain the auto tire business
and handle it in the future as he has
in the past. The new purchaser lives
in the Pfenninger house on South Ger
man Street and is a recent acquisition
to the city. He has already taken pos
session of the second hand store and ex-
poets to conduct it in such a manner
that he too will win the favor of the
public. Mr.. Berg spent most of the
past week in the Cities in the interest
of his auto tire business which together
with his business in Standard Hog
Regulator will receive his entire atten-
ton for the time being. Mr. Burk
has not fully decided what other
line of business he may take up but
thinks of renting a building for storage
of the tires and the Regulator. Mr..
Berg says that those farmers in this
vicinity who used this stock preparation
last season tell him that they have no
trouble with cholera at all although
their neighbours animals are afflicted.
The Regulator is prepared under govern
ment supervision and is composed of
materials many of which were imported
from Europe and the war temporarily
put stop to the manufacture.

DIR. WRIT GIVES INTERESTING
TALK.


On Wednesday morning of last week
DR.. L. Lincoln Writ treated the High
School to a very interesting talk on
travel. He told how he had longed to
travel in his early school days and how
these hopes were realized in his later days.
In his easily understood style he related
his adventures on a trip to Siam. He
then showed how single man had revo-
lutionized the entire practise of medicine
in Siam and how he was rewarded for
saving the life of the kings son. DR..
Writ by chance became acquainted with
this man, who took him thru the Kings
Court and thru the private home of the
Kings favorite, fathoming many of the
customs of this queer country. Very
briefly he also described life in Alaska
and how being ''froze up" he was glad to
return to the United States.

NEW ATHLETIC RULE ADOPTED

Hereafter the athletes and near
athletes of the New Ulm High School
who wish to grace the basketball teams
of their respective classes by their
presence Will have to prove to the faculty
that they deserve a box-seat among the
intellectual highbows. According to
ruling announced by Principal H. PETER
son, any boy or girl who wishes to get
out for the basketball practise at. all
must have at least an average of rs per
cent in his studies for the week before.
The members of the first team are of
course required by the rules if the In
terscholastic Association to be above
grade in all studies for the month be-
fore the game.
This ruling in regard to interclass
teams was made partly as means
of self defense by the faculty. There
is a certain class OF students in every
school who are bound to fall below
greater part of the time in spite of all
the efforts of the teachers. 1t is just the
class that is ever eager to seize upon
any possible excuse to justify poor work.
In other schools where athletics are
recognized as a proper part OF the school
work, such excuses are taken for what
they are worth; in New Ulm, however,
where school athletics are still on trial
as might be said, the school cannot
afford to tolerate anything which would
cause them to fall into disrepute. 1t
will take some time for school athletics
to weather all criticism here, but as the
school is following an educational prin-
ciple firmly established by a vast ma
jority of other schools, there is little
fear for the final outcome. Of course
the innocent will have to suffer some
what by this ruling but this is something
which could not be avoided.
Finally to obviate all possible ground
for criticism, new schedule for basket
ball practise was introduced. Here
after there will be only one night prac-
tise week, and two practises in the
afternoon. The time of practise will
be limited as closely as possible to an
hour, the night practise starting at
seven and ending at eight. This will
give the students plenty of opportunity
to get their lessons by night study, if
they so desire, every day Of the week.

1.-THE HOBBY HORSE" CHOSEN
FOR SENIOR CLASS PLAY.

''The Hobby Horse" the three act
comedy written by Pinero, was chosen
as the class play by this years Senior
Class. The play was written in 1895,
but was acted only recently. It re-
quires no elaborate Suggesting nor
costumes, but nevertheless, it is a very
strong play and has met with brilliant
success everywhere.
A committee, consisting of Alice Davey,
Walter Miller and Willibalda Eibner,
was appointed by the Senior Class
about month ago, to report on the
play. A large number of plays were
tried but they were either inappropriate
for class plays, or too difficult to be used.

SENIOR GIRLS WALK OVER
FRESHMEN BY 4o-ll.

In walkaway game staged at the
High School gym. last Friday evening
the Senior girls Basket Ball team de-
feated the Freshman girls by score
of 40 to IL. The freshman girls, altho
they played fine game, could not
come up against the fast Senior team
who had the ball under the freshmen
basket turnout the whole game.
Rosebud Engel and Genevieve Vedder
again did the scoring for the Seniors,
landing 10 baskets and 2 fouls. Eda
Nelson and Billy Eibner played fine
game, but Eda quit during the first
half and Janet Russell took her place.
The other two members of the Senior
team, Bertha Esser and Alma Falk,
did some splendid guarding thereby
preventing their opponents from scor-
ing many times when they did get the
ball down to the Seniors baskets.
Louise Fritsche was again the star
performer for the Freshmen, landing
two baskets and one foul. Lucille
Schleuder succeeded in landing three,
making the score II to 40 in favor of
the Seniors.
The game as whole was the fastest
one of the girls games staged this year.
The teamwork of the Seniors was not
quite up to it's usual standard, but the
accurate basket-shooting of the two
forwards was enough to win the game.

SWELL CAFE SERVES CAME TO
ITS PATRONS.

The commonly repeated charge that
game wardens seek out and prosecute
only poor settlers and devote their time
to making arrests for trivial violations
of the game laws will have to be revised
in view of recent occurance at St. Paul.
Acting on instructions and informa-
ton from the executive agent of the
Game and Fish Commission Game War
dens j. w. Centerwall of Crystal Bay
and Geo. Cline of St. Paul made raid
on Carvings Downtown Cafe in the
capitol city last Friday night and dis
covered and confiscated 346 game birds
and % lbs. of venison illegally had in
possession. This game was concealed
in secret compartment in the refri-
gerating plant of the cafe and the war
dens experienced great difficulty in find
ing it. The game will be held pending
prosecution and the case will be taken
before the next grand jury in Ramsey
county.
One of the chief criticisms of the en-
forcement of the game laws is that
city "high rollers" are permitted to en-
joy game illegally the year round in
the swell cafes while the common citi-
zen is lucky if he gets taste in legal
season. The criticism may be justi-
fled in measure, but through no fault
of the Game Commission. 1t is a diff
cult matter to detect and prosecute
for these offenses and it is very rarely
that big seizure of illegally held game
is possible to make.
The discovery and confscation of
this lot will probably have the effect
of discouraging the game dinner bust
ness in restaurants in the twin cities
for time. Hutchinson edear.

FRESHMEN DEFEAT SENIORS,
32-16.
Yearlings Pile up Heavy Score il
Second Half Thus Winning
First of Interclass Series.

Friday night in one of the most in
teresting games of basketball played on
our gym floor, good sized crowd saw
the Freshmen boys beat the Senior
boys by score of 32-16. The first
half ended with the Freshmen four
points ahead, but at the opening of
the second half the Seniors buckled
down to work and soon the score was
tied. Team work, clever guarding and
good basket shooting put the Freshmen
in the lead again, and after that the
Seniors several times came within a
single point of the Freshmen score until
the latter part of the second half, when
the yearlings began to roll in the baskets
so fast that they doubled their opponents
score. On the Senior team, clever guard
ing and flashes of team work showed that
they were not novices at the game, and
it was only by the most unexpected
basket shooting that the Freshmen were
enabled to win. Maurice Dougher
again came into the limelight by making
nine of his peculiar one-handed shots,
while Nibs Coufal shone like, an emerald
comet, especially when one of the two
electric lights in the gym burnt out.
The all-around work Of Otto Dougher
and "Chick" Olsen, playing the two
guard positions for the freshmen, de-
serves special mention. Miller and Lin
demann fought hard for the Seniors and
broke up many of the Freshmen plays by
their close guarding. The Seniors were
outweighted by their opponents but they
never for moment slowed up in their
work, even after the game had been
practically lost.
