The Good Soldier.


The good soldier is the soldier who is
ready to perform any duty assigned to
him. To be a good soldier one need
not be bloodthirsty, he need not be
anxious to kill someone or be killed. It
is no more necessary that the soldier
should be ANXIOUS to fight than that
the fireman should be eager for a fire.
1t is sufficient that soldier and fireman
be ready to make any sacrifice required.
It is no reflection on the courage and
loyalty of the fireman that the people
who employ him try to prevent fires
by encouraging the erection of freproof
buildings-no fireman feels offended
if people prefer a hotel of steel and
concrete to iretrap structure. Neither
is it reflection on the patriotism of the
soldier to try to avoid war; Peace
treaties are intended to prevent war as
freproof buildings are intended to per-
vent fire. One can appreciate the SER
vice rendered by both fireman and
soldier without desiring either fire or
a fight. THE ConaYnoner.

If all the stories told about the young
people, this summer and their daring on
The Cottonwood River are Quite authen-
tic, there is going to to be very sad and
touching funeral some fine day. Four
young people it is said, took a wholly
unexpected bath in the Cottonwood
the other day when attempting to shoot
the rapids and numerous tales have been
related of girls and even married women
who have taken the dive over the dam
at the Mill and have needed assistance
to save themselves from their folly,
It's great to be young and foolish but
the parents and husbands of these
young people would do well to see that
some competent swimmer accompanies
the daring ones when they let them go
away for their afternoons fun.

Quite a number of communities
have recently made application to the
game and fish commission to have certain
lands designated as game preserves.
The latest to make application for such
a game preserve is St. Peter. If their
application goes thru, quite number OF
acres of land contiguous to St. Peter
will thereafter be immune from the
shunter and the youngster with rifle or
shot gun. Game will be protected and
will find the preserve a convenient and
safe breeding place. There is no reason
why New Ulm should not take up the
matter of having such a preserve in ear
nest. Such game preserve would per-
form double mission. 1t would aid
materially in preventing the extinction
of game and song birds and it would
also make it possible for the citizens to
enjoy the beauties of Nature without
fear of being hit by stray bullets or
shot from firearms in the hands of If.
responsible people. Who will start the
movement?

WIFE TESTIFIES
FOR HER HUSBAND
Mrs. Larson Attributes Mates
Present Good Health to
Work of Tanlac.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July rs 1916.
A statement that glistens and CLOVIS
with real concern for others was given
recently by Mrs. John Larson, of 3101
Sixteenth avenue, this city, who spoke
for her husband.
"For more than six years, Mr.. Larson
was ill.," Mrs. Larson continued. HE
had stomach trouble and nervousness
and in fact, his entire system was out
of order. He could eat only a very
little Formations of gas in his stomach
bothered him. He was weak and
nervous"
"Mr. Larson says he feels just like he
used to feel six years ago, since taking
Tanlac. He is gaining rapidly and
nervousness that formerly bothered
him has almost disappeared. His ap-
petite is good and the food digests per-
fectly. 1 want to recommend Tanlac
for Others
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is es-
pecially beneficial for stomach, liver
and kidney trouble, catarrhal COM
plants, rheumatism, nervousness, sleep
lessness, loss of appetite and the like.
Tanlac is now being specially introduced
and explained in New Ulm at E. A.
Pfefferle's drug store.

Several days ago property owners
were notified that the shade trees on
the boulevards and on their premises
overhanging the sidewalks must be
trimmed so that the branches will be
at least feet above the. walks. Over
hanging branches have become a veri-
table nuisance in this city and have
been SO for years and it is a commend
able action on the part Of the city
authorities that they are determined
to enforce the ordinance which makes
it a misdemeanor to fail to trim the
trees properly. The property owners
have been given ten days within which
to comply with the orders Of the city
and have already trimmed the trees in
compliance with issued orders and it is
to be hoped that all others similarly
situated will find it convenient to have
their trees trimmed at once.

James Whitcomb Riley, one of Amer
ica's best loved poets has gone the wa J
Uf all mortals and his sweet songs arr
all that remains to tell of the genia
personality that endeared the man tc
the public. His sunshiny philosophy Of
life won for him such general approval
that he was one of the few poets whose
literary efforts have gained wealth. His
poem, 'The Funny Little Teller" de.
scribes his own personality so well
that to quote it is sufficient eulogy:
HE laughed away the sorrow,
And he laughed away the gloom
We are all so prone to borrow
From the darkness Of the tomb;
And he laughed across the ocean
Of a happy life and passed,
With laugh of glad emotion,
Into Paradise at last
