NIGHT CLASSES START NEXT
WEEK.

1t has been decided to open the night
school next Monday evening for the
benefit of those who wish to secure a
commercial training without giving up
their daily employment. The classes
will be conducted at the High School
building in the commercial department.
and will be in charge of Mr.. Viergever,
commercial teacher and his assistant.
Miss Watson. The classes were very
large last year and it is expected that
the attendance will be even better this
year.
There will be preliminary meeting
at the High School Assembly Room
Friday evening of this week when all who
wish to attend the night classes this year
are asked to be present and complete
arrangements for doing so. This will
leave Monday evening free for work
with the enrolment out of the way.
The price of tuition this year will be
$500 payable in advance. This makes
the cost very reasonable for the years
work and those who enter now will get
the full benefit of the money expended
while those who enter later will have to
pay the full amount of the years tuition.
There will be classes in English, Arith-
metic, Penmanship, Bookkeeping, STEM
ography, Typewriting and possibly
Commercial Law.

Even the weather man had heart
when it came to the big military picnic
Sunday and citizens and visitors turned
out in hundreds at Hermann's Park ia
help provide funds for the Co. "A"
boys at Camp Llano Grande. The
sheltered location kept the wind out and
let the warm sun in and everybody en-
joyed the opportunity to spend the day
in the open.
The New Ulm Concert Band furnished
the music for the afternoon to keep things
lively and games of chance, bowling,
lunch and other refreshments and amuse
ments provided the excuse for staying
on the grounds. The gross receipts
proved a surprise to the committee in
charge because they were much larger
then the most optimistic anticipated.
They aggregated the sum of 1887 and it
is estimated that the net receipts will be
in the neighborhood of $225.0O.

developed wilderness two-thirds of it
is. In the south part of the state, with
our populous cities and rich farms we
hardly realize it. But, with the excep-
ton of the iron ranges and fringe along
the railway lines, the northern part of the
state is almost unsettled.
Swamps cover whole counties. In
other parts the timber is so thick and
tangled wolf can hardly get
through. Yet under those trees and
beneath the waters of the swamps are
millions of acres of the richest soil in the
world. It needs only clearing and
draining to support an immense popu-
lation.
But one man can not drain his quarter
section or forty acres alone, and cut a
road to it. To clear it is no small under
taking. The state must help. It can
well do so. Much of the land belongs to
the state for school and other purposes
To afford this help without expense
to the people of the state is the purpose
of Amendment Number One, which is
to be voted on November z. This
amendment provides that $250,OOO of
money received from the sale of state
lands shall become a revolving fund"
for the improvement of such lands.
With part of this money a road
will be driven and a ditch dug. A few
acres will be cleared on forty acres. And

GERMAN METHODIST MEET IN
CONFERENCE:

The Northern German Methodist
Conference which includes the territory
of Minnesota and North Dakota held
their meeting last week from Wednesday
to Sunday evening at the Central Metho-
dist Church in Minneapolis. The meet
ing was opened by an address by Gilbert
S. Stansell of the Hennepin Methodist
church. Addresses were delivered the
following days by Rev. ]. A. Mullinger
OF Chicago and Reverend w. F. Finke,
one of the professors at St. Paul Park
college.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
addresses of the convention was delivered
BY Bishop Charles Bayard Mitchell of
st. Paul Thursday evening on the subject
OF THE Modern idiot. Bishop Mitchell
in the treatise of his subject began by
explaining the origin of the word 'Idiot."
Years ago according to Bishop Mitchell,
when people were extremely interested
in the upkeep and the welfare of their
government, any man whose civic pride
and devotion was not strong enough to
cause him to bestow some of his time
and effort in the interest of his govern
ment, was called an idiot, this being the
original meaning of the word. He spoke
OF the man of today who is so busily
engaged in the reaping of shekels that
ne has no time to devote to the welfare
of his government or is too intensely
engaged in his worldly pursuits to assist
in the work of his church as one who
has the lineaments of the idiot as in the
days of yore.
In appreciation of the untiring efforts
OF Miss Sauter, the Conference Secretary
OF the Women's Missionary society the
conference conferred upon her the
honorary title of Life Manager of this
organization.
Saturday evening the subject under
discussion was Missions and addresses
were delivered by Rev. C. Holm of New
Ulm and Rev. A. M. Boswell of Phila-
delphia.
The meeting was well attended by
German Methodists from all over the
states of Minnesota and North Dakota.
Among those attending from this city
were Reverend and Mrs. C. G.. Holm
and Mrs. G. F. Reineke.

LUTHERANS DEDICATE NEW
CHURCH EDIFICE.
NEW

Over 1000 people were assembled at
Fairfax Sunday for the purpose of as
sisting St. Johns Lutheran church of that
city to celebrate it's 25th anniversary
and also to give the neighboring congre-
cations an opportunity to rejoice with
the Fairfax congregation in the COM
pletion of its beautiful new church which
was formally dedicated last spring when
the weather conditions prevented the
attendance of those from distance.
There were large delegations FROM We'll
lington, Ridgely, Gibbon, Moltke, Eden
and New Ulm. New Ulm alone furnished
a contingent of 60 persons, 81 of whom
constituted the male choir of the local
church underi the leadership of Prof. AID.
REIN.
During the morning service Rev.
Boettger of Gibbon presided at the altar
and Rev. Plocher of St. Paul delivered
the principal sermon. Rev. I'm. F.
Albrecht, pastor of the church read the
history of the congregation, relating how
it was founded by Rev. Hilbert rs years
ago and how it had grown in numbers and
in the good work it is doing. In the
afternoon Rev. Sells of Moltke presided
at the altar and Rev. F. Koehler of
Nicollet preached the sermon. Rev.
Plocher again occupied the pulpit in the
evening and delivered an English sermon.
The most pathetic and touching sight
was when the first pastor of the church,
Rev. Hilbert of Mankato, aged IS years
and now completely blind, was led to the
altar and spoke words of cheer to his
former congregation. The New Ulm
male choir rendered several songs in the
morning and again in the afternoon
The other music for the celebration was
furnished by mixed choir and orchestra
from Fairfax. Rev. I'm. Albrecht d.
rected the singing and Teacher Boerneke
presided at the pipe organ and directed
the orchestra.
Dinner and supper were served by the
Ladies Aid of the church in the basement
of the church. It was memorable
celebration and will be long remembered
by those who attended.

COUNTY CONVENTION
MEETS HERE TODAY
DEMOCRATS WILL RALLY TO
THE FIGHT BEFORE THEM
AT THE POLLS.
COUNTY ORGANIZATION MUST
BE PERFECTED AND PLANS
ARRANGED.

To-day "wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock the Democrats of Brown Coun-
ty will assemble in mass convention
for the purpose of organizing perma-
nent democratic County Committee,
electing a permanent chairman, vice
chairman, secretary and treasurer, also
an executive committee and precinct
committeeman for each voting district
within the County. This meeting is held
pursuant to a proclamation issued by
Fred E. Wheaton, Chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee
which reads as follows:
''To the Democrats of Minnesota:
A call is hereby issued to the Demo-
Gratis of each County in Minnesota to
assemble in mass convention at the
County seat in their respective counties
on Wednesday, September 20, 1916 for
the purpose of organizing a permanent
Democratic County Committee, electing
permanent chairman, vice chairman,
secretary and treasurer, also an executive
committee and a precinct committee
man for each voting district within the
County,"
The County member of the State
Central Committee (or; in his absence,
the chairman of the retiring county COM
mittee) will preside at the mass conven-
ton, following which he will forward

the state central committee. Chairman
Wheaton admonishes the Democrats to
get together, work together and win to-
gether.
The Brown County convention will be
held in New Ulm this afternoon at 3
o'clock at Turner Hall and it is hoped to
make the meeting rousing demonstra-
ton of the plans of the party to work
for victory. Postmaster Fred Pfaender
will call the meeting to order but will be
obliged because of his position to resign
the Craftsmanship and some one else must
be chosen in his place. There will, if
past attendance is any criterion, be some
thirty to fifty Democrats present altho
the shortness of the notice for the con-
vention may lessen the number somewhat

the land, formerly worth So an acre, will

lose anything. It won't cost us any

NIC0LLET' FARMERS
HOLD EQUITY MEET
AGRICULTURALISTS LEARN IN
UNION OF FORCES is
STRENGTH.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED SINCE
EARLY DAYS OF GRANGE
MOVEMENT.

Il. u. Wagner's grove about one mile
east OF Klossner was the scene Sunday
afternoon of we'll attended picnic of the
Klossner Local Union of the American
Society of Equity. In spite of the un.
satisfactory weather and the bad roads
overftwo hundred people congregated in
the grove for the purpose of recreation
and education. There were farmers
present from Lafayette, West Newton
CORTLAND, Nicollet, Bernadotte and
Milford. Some years ago such gath
erlng would have been practically an
impossibility because of inability of the
people living SO far apart to get together,
but with the advent Of the automobile
this has all been chang ed and the far
nlers are able to meet and talk over
things which might prove mutually
beneficial.
Last Sundays picnic was get-to-
gether meeting of farmers of Nicollet
County for the purpose of discussing
ways and means Of conducting farm
business to better advantage Two
addresses were made. The first speaker
was Mr.. Monkman, representative of
the A. R. Kirk Commission Co.of South
St. Paul. He explained in a convincing
manner what the Equity stands for, what
it already has done for the farmers and
what it will do for them in the future. The
other speaker was Col. Wilkinson of
Lake Elmo, known as one of the war
horses of the Equity movement. In
his talk he touched practically upon
every phase of the movement, gave a
history of how it was started and how
il hsl been steadily growing ever since
its inception. He also spoke of the early
day struggles and Of the opposition that
they encountered among agriculturists.
Happily, according, to the speaker, these
things are changing and the movement
is now finding support where some years
ago it found only ridicule and opposition.
After the speeches there were races for
the girls and boys and other sports and
amusements. The Bernadotte band
furnished the music In the evening
there was dance for which occasion the
Grussendorf brothers furnished the
music. Nearly every one brought their
own lunch. Those who did not were
given an opportunity to buy from the
local society.
The present officers of the Klossner
local are Frank Guggisberg, Pres; John
Ulrich, Vice Pres; John Preisinger, Secy.
and Treasurer. One of the objects of
Sundays gathering was the election of
delegates to the State convention which
meets in St. Paul in November. AS such
delegates the following were chosen:
Fred Buddensiek, Levi Samuelson, Oscar
Olson, Henry Meyer, Frank Osborn and
Fred Bonkart. From a social and also
an educational standpoint, Sundays
picnic of the Klossner Union must be
pronounced an unqualified success.
