CLUB YEAR BEGINS NEXT WEEK

Members of the Commercial Club
are all egarnestly urged to be present at
the first meeting of the winter season to
be held next Wednesday evening, at the
Club Rooms. Upon the first meeting
depends to great extent the success
of the years undertakings and the Club
has need to look alive this year or it
will fall behind the other bodies of like
nature in the state. The past summer
was SO exceedingly hot that everyone
wearied in well-doing and nothing was
accomplished to speak Of, individually
or collectively. There is much to be
done. No sociability tours have been
pulled off this year, the kids have not
had their promised trip, nothing especial
has been done to extend the name and
fame of the city and we have all sat
pretty much at home, forgotten by con
ventions because we had rather more
than our share of them last year and the
year before. It is high time that some
new methods of bringing the town into
favorable notice be thought up by the
men at the head Of affairs and every one
interested in the city's we'll doing should
be present at the meeting.

ORDERS RECEIVED
FOR BORDER DUTY
OFFICERS AT LLANO GRANDE
HAVE NO ENCOURAGING
REPORTS
LIEUT.. KLAUSE DETAINED AT
CAMP HOSPITAL FOR
MALARIA

Rather discouraging are the reports
received by the home folks who have
heard recently from the men in Texas.
Last week there was hope that they
would be back by the first of December
but recent advices would indicate that
as yet there is no plan for their return.
A letter received from Lieut.. Klause this
week states that there is no sign of any
preparation for return and that further
more they have been told that within a
few weeks they will be sent to patrol the
border.
Another apparent indication that the
stay Of the men is not to be cut short at
this time is the arrival of fresh troops at
the front. Mr.. Klause wrote that new
men had recently arrived and were
pitching their tents near the Second
Minnesota. He did not state where the
troops were from.
Lieut.. Klause writes also of having
visited the officers confined at the
Hospital and while there he had blood
test made and discovered to his great
surprise that he was full of malarial fever
germs. He had not felt ill and thought
it was joke they were putting up on
him but when he was detained at the
Hospital for observation he began to
understand that the physicians were in
earnest. However, he did not feel at all
sick at the time of writing which was two
days after the test was made, according
to Lieut.. Klause, and rather enjoyed the
chance to rest up at the Hospital as he
was not allowed to go back to camp for
duty.;z

CAMBRIA DOWN ON DEAD BEATS

Cambria business men have the right
idea and do not intend to let the fellows
who are long on promises and short on
performance get next to the hard earned
wealth of those who pay as they 60.
They have decided to givd the dead
beats just about month to straighten
up their accounts and then no more
credit will be given those who fail, to
come across with coin of the realm in
place of promises. It would look as tho
New Ulm might be due for an immigra-
ton from Cambria for business men here
are easier than that.

FATALLY INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
MEMBER OF LAMBERTON SCHOOL
FACULTY DIES AT LoRETTo
HOSPITAL.
INEXPERIENCED DRIVER LOSES
CONTROL OF CAR WHICH
OVERTURNS.

Friday evening Adolf Ruehl, the head
of the agricultural department. of the
Lamberton schools died at the Loretto
Hospital from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in an auto accident the day
previous. He was brought down here
by auto Friday afternoon about four
o'clock for the purpose of undergoing an
operation. The surgeon made an ex-
ploratory insertion and discovered that
the man was so terribly injured that
there could be no hope OF saving his life.
by an operation and nothing further was
attempted. The abdomen was filed
with blood from the internal wounds, the
liver was torn as was the lining of the
abdominal cavity and the intestines. were
perforated. The unfortunate man died
during the evening. The fatal accident
happened near Walnut Grove Thursday,
September 21st. Professor Ruehl had
gone to Tracy that day with an auto
load of boys from his department for the
purpose of judging stock. On the re-
turn trip, one of the boys asked for per-
mission to run the car to which the
Professor kindly consented. It was only
a short while after the young man had
taken the steering wheel that he lost
control of the machine. The car turned
turtle and landed in the ditch, falling
on top of Ruehl. He was extricated,
the car righted and altho he suffered con-
siderable pain he managed to drive the
car home to Lamberton. It is claimed
that he even made tire change after
the accident. It is self-evident that he
did not realize the seriousness of his
condition, because it took considerable
persuasion on the part of his Lamberton
friends before he decided to come to New
Ulm for hospital treatment.
The remains were shipped to Lamber-
ton the same night. Mrs. Ruehl was
visiting in Milwaukee and because he
was native Of Wisconsin, it was planned
to take the remains there for interment.
At the time of his death the deceased
was 80 years, months and IL days old.
He was of cheerful disposition and had
made a host of friends since he came to
Lamberton about a year ago.

FESTIVAL PREPARED
IN. PIONEERS & HONOR:
OLD SETTLERS WILL BE GIVEN
BANQUET ON ANNIVERSARY
OF ARRIVAL
ONLY ONE SURVIVOR OF FIRST
PARTY LIvING.-NINETY
PIONEERS.

October 7th it will be 81 years since
the advance party of the first settlers
reached the Town of Milford in this
County, according to Peter Mack, the
sole surviving member of the party
which arrived here. For some years the
Junior Pioneers have held their annual
meeting on this anniversary day and have
given a banquet for the old folks and this
year the old pioneers will again be guests
Of the Junior Pioneers at banquet to be
given at Turner Hall Sunday, October
9th.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements assumed the responsibility
Of changing the date of this function
from Saturday, October 18th. to Sunday,
October 9th, because in their judgment
Sunday will be more convenient to both
old and young and larger attendance
can probably be secured on that day.
Altho it is 81 years since the first settlers
arrived and 81 years since the Indian
Massacre, there are still in the neighbor-
hood Of 80 old settlers left. There are
included in this number wives and
widows of pioneers who were not here
themselves during the Indian Massacre
or were too young to take active part in
the defense of New Ulm.
The committee which has this matter
in hand is earnestly at work and notices
were sent out Tuesday to the Junior
Pioneers calling attention to the annual
meeting which is scheduled to be held at
Turner Hall Sunday afternoon at 8
o'clock and to the banquet, the hour for
which has been fixed at o'clock. A
tentative program has been prepared
according to which the old folks viii
assemble in the lecture room of Turner
Hall at o'clock where they will be
entertained until the time for the ban
quet. At the banquet there will be
musical numbers and few brief talks, a
program that is so short that it will not
tire the old folks. It is expected that the
entire doings will all be over by 8 o'clock.
The committee has prepared list of
pioneers which is appended hereto.
Should any names have been omitted the
committee would be pleased to have their
attention called to it and also if the list
carries names of those who are not
pioneers. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee to get the list accurate and the
members will appreciate any and all out
side assistance. The following are classed
as pioneers:

PRUNING Peach Trees.

II. F. Riddell. Oklahoma station.l
A question frequently asked is,
"When Is the proper time to prune
peach trees? In general the answer
TO this question IS: During the dormant
period. preferably in late winter or
early spring. just before growth starts,
except IN regions where bleeding from
wounds IS likely TO occur In such re-
glons it should probably be done in
early winter. but conditions and the
object of pruning must be considered
In each case. If the pruning opera
lions are very extensive economic re
quirements may make it necessary "a
prune throughout the winter whenever
the weather Is suitable for men TO
work in the orchard. If the fruit buds
are endangered during the winter by
adverse temperatures It may be ad-
vlsable TO delay pruning as much as
economic conditions permit until set
tied spring weather arrives. This is
especially advisable II heavy heading
in Of the previous seasons growth is
involved, since the proportion of live
buds may determine the extent 10
which the cutting back should be car
ried.

! BITS OF POULTRY WISDOM.

To prevent hens from eating their
eggs arrange a false bottom in the
nest. through which the egg will roll
slowly out of sight when laid There
are several ways OF doing this. By
making the nests dark the formation
OF this habit will be prevented.
The best means of cheering up chicks
is furnishing them with some garden
worms to light over. II it's dry and
worms are scarce fresh beef cut in
strips win serve the purpose Sliced
onion will do the work II you don't
give 1t to them too often. Anything to
make them scrappy.
