Among those who attended the Fort
Ridgely celebration were Mrs. c.. w.
Weschcke and Miss Hertha Weschcke,
Mrs. T. Crone and son Teddy, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. A. Pfeferle, Richard Pfeferle,
ST., Mrs. julius and A. ]. Ochs. Mrs
Weschcke is particularly interested in
Fort events because her husband, DR..
Weschcke, was often called to the Fort
to treat the soldiers there in the absence
of a post surgeon and her early married
life was in that way associated with
many happenings of Fort life.
Leo Seifert, son of Henry Seifert of this
city has decided to locate at Lake Benton
for the practice of law. Leo had at first
intended to locate in the northern part
Of the state but after looking around
decided that Lake Benton where an
attorney had recently died would offer
a good field for him and he has opened
an office there. Leo is bright young
man and should have no particular
difficulty in working up good practice
in very few years.
| Lars o. Killand took the rest cure at
the Hennick home on South Washington
Street yesterday. Not that Lars felt
any particular need of rest but his
friends decided that ten hours spent in
the seclusion of room on the second
floor would give Lars a chance for
spiritual meditation that this busy
young man seldom has opportunity for.
Following the example Of holy men Of all
ages, food was also withheld andif Lars
goes about with a peculiarly sanity cast
Of countenance the next time you meet
him you will be able to assign the cause.

WILL TOUR THE EAST

When Mrs. NJ. A. Bingham makes
her next trip to China she will be &C.
companied by Mrs. j. H. Siegel and
Mrs. Katharine Silverson of Minneapolis.
The ladies plan to leave here the 18th
Of September and will sail from Van
couver the 9Th of October after stopping
at several places on their journey west.
They will visit China, Japan, the Philip
pines, and the Hawaiian Islands and
when they return in the spring, Mr..
Siegel expects to meet them at Honolulu.
It is not fully decided yet whether little
Charles Silverson will accompany the
party but he probably will as his mother
dislikes to leave him for so many months.
While Mrs. Siegel is away, Mr.. Siegel's
youngest sister, Miss Josephine Siegel,
of Washington, Indiana, will direct the
Siegel household affairs. She is expected
the first of September.

Real and False Preparedness.

The New York legislature refused a
few weeks ago to pass bill prepared by
the Lower Rent Society to strike at the
eVns which cause so appalling an amount
of infant mortality. The measure would
have iinterfered too much with land mo-
:nopoly. But it did pass, in the name of
preparedness against an alleged danger
of foreign invasion, five outrageous laws
instituting compulsory military service.
1t was but another illustration of one
OF the reasons for the preparedness agi-
tation, to divert the people from real
dangers requiring attention. How real
the danger is against which the legis-
lature has refused to prepare is now
made much more clear than ever by the
terrible epidemic Of infantile paralysis.
When enforcement begins of the COM
pulsory service laws let the people take
note THAT this is done in defense of land
monopoly, even thong h it breeds disease
and death among helpless babes. The
Public.

Make Use OF the Minnesota.

Mortified prairie town has had a
water carnival, and what is more, it
proved even a greater success than the
carnival of the year previous. North
field is not situated on lake, but on the
Gannon River, having about half the
volume of the Minnesota. The program
consisted of all kinds of swimming con-
tests, canoe races, high diving from the
bridge and wound up with naval battle
and 'storming of a fort on the Island
~The attacking fleet consisted of 81
different varieties Of watercraft.
Now is the time for the admirals, boat
SWANS, first and second mates, pilots and
oarsmen of our quite respectable fleet
to get their heads together and arrange
for some boating festival for next year
in New Uhn and give the young people
another pleasant memory of their vaca-
ton days. We ought to enjoy the
Minnesota more.

TRACY'S FIREBUC CAUGHT.

Tracy has been enjoying the excite
ment created by real live fire bug.
Ever since the latter part of July I'M
accountable fires have been breaking
out at various points about the railroad
station and yards. There we're times
when more than one fire would be dis
covered during single day and the in
habitants were all stirred up. The state
fire marshal was called upon to solve
the mystery and he and his men dis
covered that young fellow by the
name Of Hanscome, the son ola minister,
was the fire bug. He confessed that: he
set all of the fires but one but gave no
reason for his deeds. Perhaps an article:
which we reprint this week may explain
the lads conduct, ''The Myth About the
Preachers Son." Whether it does or.
not, young Hanscome will find that he
hasn't the right even to burn up his own
to- say nothing of that be-.
longing to- Others. He was bound over
to the! grand jury in $500 bonds.

DISREGARDED ROAD LAWS

It's ten to- one bet that C. E. Topper,
Secretary of the State Board of Pharma-
cy, won't drive: on the wrong side of the
road again when trying to pass a car
on public highway. Wednesday after
noon when. enroute; to New .Ulm from
Sleepy Eye. for the purpose, as rumor
tells it, of picking up druggists who
violate regulations governing the sale
OF certain drugs, he, attempted to pass
a car containing DR.: A. w. Eckstein
and family and Dr. WerrIng of Comfrey
and Mrs. Wolfg. Brandt of Mulligan-
township. The two, cars were going
in the same direction aud were near
the Gluth farm in Milford when Topper
decided to 60 ahead and blew his horn.
DR.. Eckstein who WAS driving, i'm
mediately turned to the right side of
the road when: he heard the signal but
to the surprise of the party in the Eek
stein car, the passing car passed them on
the wrong side of the road. driving their
car into the ditch: and breaking the:
fender of the car.
DR.. Eckstein took down the number
of the Upper car and called up Chief
Herzog, giving him the particulars and
number of the car: Herzog found the.
car in front Of the Fesenmaier hardware
store but as the accident happened OUT
side of the city limits it was necessary
for the sheriff to- make the arrest.
Upper was arrested and taken before
Judge Henningsen where he pleaded
guilty to the charge and was fined SIS
and costs amounting to $500.

WAR RISKS.

Many inquiries have been received at
the insurance department in regard to
the effect on life insurance policies of
policyholders who join the army for
service in Mexico. This in all cases
depends upon the terms and conditions
Of the policy in question. Under the
laws now in force relating to life insurance
policies in this state, restriction therein
on military or naval service in time of
war may be included. Many companies
place no restrictions whatever in their
policies upon naval and military service
on the part of the insured; other COM
panies prohibit military or naval service
during the first year Of the policy: Since
the beginning of the European war, few
companies have placed restrictions in
their policies upon military, and naval
service, which were formerly free from
such conditions. In some cases an ad-
ditional premium of per cent Of the face
of the policy is charged for permission
upon the part of the insured to enter
military or naval service. In all cases,
however, policies should be carefully
examined, and if permit is required
from the company for military or naval
service, the same should be secured, and
attached to the policy.
Restrictions on military and naval
service have been placed in nearly all
| accident and health policies.

THE MYTH ABOUT THE PREACH
ER'S SON.

1t is worth noting that the much abus.
ed preachers son" is at present en-
joying a unique vindication. The leader
of the Democratic party and the leader
of the Republican party are alike the
sons of clergymen. Mr.. Wilson is the
son of Presbyterian minister while Mr..
Hughes is the son OF Baptist minister.
Probably never before in our history
have circumstances allied themselves in
so formidable a coalition against the
myth concerning the preachers son"
Everybody is familiar with the nature
of this myth. Butch" Benedict (his
parents always call him Russell Her
bert" but the fellows know him only as
"Butch"), early finds that he has no
standing among his contemporaries I'M
less he outdoes them all in general GUS
sedness." The son of saloonkeeper or
a policeman may be reasonably we'll
behaved without becoming an object of
universal ridicule; not so the luckless
''preacher's son." who is forced to be a
prodigy of wickedness in order to live
down the handicap of his fathers pro-
fessiOn. -"
And everybody is acquainted with the
reputation which 'Butch' is soon wear
ing as sort of halo. Butch" is the
first boy in town to abandon cornsilk
and become expert in the amiable art
of smoking pills." "Butch" charges up
ice cream sodas and pop and iron brew
recklessly, in spite of the fact that the
gentleman he refers to as 1.-The ole man"
has expressly forbidden him to do 50.
Butch has piratical oaths in his vocab-
ulary and picturesque swagger in his
gait that are the envy and the admira-
ton of the rest of the ''bunch." Butch"
can exchange billingsgate' with the dish
washers on the back stoop of the hotel
in manner that is simply indispensable.
Butch" is commercially stupid in his
studies at school and often skips out at
recess; teacher always hates him and
keeps him after school pretty near every
night.
Butch is beyond any doubt a good
leal of natural desperate, and before
ne grows up he is supposed, if he is ortho-
1ox at all, to marry an impossible waitress
cave huge pile of debts on his fathers
hands, then skip off to become ''bum"
or convict. This is roughly the type
hat most people have come to associate
With the unhappy preachers son..
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson, though
divided on most political points, are at I
east united on the issue that the popular
has done the type in question
4 deep injustice. Their silent examples
will probably do more to uproot the
traditional notions Of the "preacher's
son. than all the lectures and statistics
hat an army of scientists could assemble
Chicago Tribune.

This Is Your Problem

This week a score of the young people
of New U]m are planning competitive
tournament in tennis, one of the cleanest
and most approved of outdoor sports.
New Ulm is :singularly we'll located for
pleasures for the young as we'll as the
, old but the elders do not take the interest
THAT they should in helping the young
sters to find things to do that will keep
their minds running in healthful activity.
Athletics were long frowned upon in the
schools, parents feeling that the children
were sent to school wholly and solely for
the purpose of acquiring book learning
Present day ideals in all progressive
communities include the training of the
body in health and activity and slowly
the idea is gaining ground here that
children must have enough exercise to
keep them in trim physically as we'll as
mentally. The Turning School was
excellent for those who attended but it
did not go far enough. It did not and
does not yet provide for the summer
diversions which to be most beneficial
should be we'll directed.
Some one who is capable Of organizing
sport activities should interest himself
and other responsible persons in es-
tablishing some sort of playground asso-
citation that would provide for regularly
arranged competitive events, boating
swimming, baseball, tennis and othel
splendid out-of-door games that trair
mind and muscle, hand and heart, legs
and lungs and develop an appreciation
of clean craftsmanship in addition tt
the physical good accomplished.
OF course, we think the young do mo-
need to be taught how to amuse them
selves, that their heads are already to-
full of schemes for fun, but there i
where the trouble lies. We do not di
rect their efforts skillfully. We try tt
curb when they seem to be getting be
.yond control instead Of opening nev
channels for their activity and before W
known it the boy or girl has grown be
yond our knowledge and stranger cor
fronts US when we would advise an
direct in later years. We older peopl
must take an intelligent interest in whs
our young people are planning an
thinking if we would keep them clo'
to us.

Politics makes strange bedfellows"
is a trite old saying, once more exempli-
fed beautifully by the warm recommen-

by Paul f.. Dehnel of the Sleepy Fey
Progressive. When Mr.. Dehnel was
publishing the Springfield Free Press he
could not think Of mean enuf things to
say about Philip and now he is falling
all over himself to hand fat and fulsom e
bouquets to the man he once protested

Woodman Lodge Will Continue
Soldiers Insurance.

It has been question of much interest
to enlisted men and their dependents
whether insurance companies in which
they held policies would continue them
in force and make payment of policies
in case of death while the policy holder
might be serving in the army. The
Woodmen Lodge has decided to continue
the policies in full force and benefciaries
will receive the full amount of claims in
case of the death of an insured man while
at the front.

remained after the copper thieves de-

MATCH GAMES ARRANGED FOR
LAST FOUR DAYS OF THIS
WEEK.
EIGHT PRIZEs} PUT UP BY NEW
ULM MERCHANTS FOR
WINNERS.

committee has been able to proceed and
the time of the matches has also, been
arranged. Twenty-Five New Ulm tennis
players have entered, sixteen being boys
and six girls. AS most of the boys that
have entered the tournament are en-
ployed during the day and are unable to
get off number of the matches will be
played early in the morning or in: the
evening. ...::.
Eight prizes have been put up by the
business men of New Ulm for the tour
nament. Six of these will be divided
among the boys and the other two will
be given to the two best girl players.
It has been decided upon by the ar
rangements committee that two prizes
will be offered to those who lose out in
the preliminary contests. Thus the
first eight losers will have what might
be called a tournament for themselves
and the two winners will be awarded
the consolation prizes.
The arrangements committee wishes
to announce that all those who have
entered should be present at the tennis
courts on Wednesday evening and if it
is impossible for the players to play at
the time scheduled that player should
report it to VIM. Muesing as soon as
possible so that different arrangements
can be made. Players who do not report
if they cannot play at the time scheduled
and do not appear at the time must
forfeit the game to their opponents. AS
each match takes quite little time it is
thought that the finals will be played on
Sunday afternoon. No practise will be
allowed Wednesday evening as the
courts are to be put in shape for the
tournament.
The semi-fnals and finals will be
played off right after the preliminary
matches are finished. The: winners of
the preliminaries will draw numbers and
the time will be decided upon by the
committee. No charges will be made
for spectators and the public is cordially
invited to attend the matches and cul-
tivate an interest in tennis. X.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements consists of VIM Muesing,
John Christoverson and Alois Eibner
and all inquiries with regard to the
tournament should be addressed to them.
The time and players that are to
meet each other in the preliminary
matches are as follows:
