STATE SKAT LEAGUE
EXPECTS Big MEET
TWIN CITY CONTINGENT WILL
BRING 200 PLAYERS TO
TOURNAMENT
LOCAL PLAYERS TO ENTERTAIN
SKAT ONKELS DURING
BRIEF STAY

All indications point to a record at
tendance for state tournament at the
annual midsummer sessions of the
members of the Minnesota Skat League
to be held in New Ulm next Sunday
afternoon and evening. The contests
will be held in the Turner Hall gym
nasium and the local committees have
made arrangements for upwards of four
hundred players. Four players will be
assigned to table.
In view OF the fact that the special
train will not reach the city much before
noon, it will be impossible to entertain
the visitors with a drive through the
city, but this may still be arranged for
during the intermission between the
afternoon and evening sessions, if the
weather permits. Supper will be served
for the players by the Turner Ladies'
Society and short musical program
may be rendered previous to the evening
session.
The Twin City players are taking
great interest in the coming tournament
and look forward to the outing and the
play with keen anticipation, especially
because the New Ulm players always
have attended the state tournaments in
the Twin Cities with strong delegations.
Henry Schreiner, state secretary of the
skat league has sent out the following
circular letter to all newspapers and
players belonging to local club:
'The officers of the Minnesota State
Skat League have designated the city
OF New sUlm as the Convention City fer
TIE midsummer convention which will
be held on Sunday, June 4th, 1916. AS
usual, there will be two sessions; the first
beginning 2:30 p. m. and the second 7:SO
p. m. Fifteen cash prizes will be award
ed. The first will be $500, the Others
accordingly.
1.-The officers have arranged with the
M. & St. L. Ry. for special train which
will leave St. Paul at $3.50 a. m. Sunday
and will return, leaving New Ulm after
the second session. The fare is reduced
to $500 for the round trip from St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and a one and one third
fare rate for the round trip is granted
for this train from all other stations
along the line.
Every Skat player is urgently re-
quested to attend this Convention as
the very important proposition of or,
ganizing auxiliary clubs in every city of
the state will come up for discussion.
I'm view of the great Importance of
this Convention and of the very fine
train accommodations, the Convention
at New Ulm should be the best attended
and most successful ever held in this
state.' .-..-

STOCK INVESTORS
WANT SOME ACTION
FARMERS WILL DEMAND LUCE
SHORT LINE COMPLETE ROAD
1T PROMISED
TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE
NICOLLET COUNTY PEOPLE
RAISED MONEY

Residents of Nicollet county, mostly
of New Sweden and Lake Prairie town.
ships, are beginning to believe that the
representations made by the Luce Elec-
trio Line people over two years ago, to
build an electric line through their dis
trict upon the condition that the farmers
invest in stock, were not very reliable,
because no move has been made so far
to extend the line from Winsted, to
which point it has been completed for
some time.
Those who made the investments have
now started movement to send petit
ton to the head offices of the company,
urging it to live up to the promises made:
The petition was circulated in the town.
ships named above and was signed by
all approached on the matter and then
it was decided to call meeting for next
Thursday evening at the New Swe len
store to discuss the matter Thoroughly.
1t is feerly predicted by some of the
heavier stockholders that the courts
will be appealed to if the petition does
not bring favorable response from the
company. They claim that during the
month of January, 1914, stock amount
ing to upwards of $4,000 was sub
scribed by the residents of New Sweden
and Lake Prairie townships with the
express understanding that the money
was to be used for the construction of
the line into Nicollet county and for
no other purpose. They say the farmers
of that vicinity had no desire to make
financial investments in the Luce Line
Company to help the company along in
their construction work in other parts
of the state and that if the company does
not make move of some kind in the
direction of Nicollet county an investi-
cation will be asked for and demand
will be made upon the company for the
return of the full amount with interest.
Although no written agreement was
entered into. between the stockholders
and the company, representatives of
the latter stated at public meetings
that the funds raised by the Nicollet
county people would not be used for
any other purpose than construction
work in Nicollet county.
1t is also set forth in the petition to
the company that the line has been ex-
tended in several other directions within
the past year where no stock investments
have been made by the residents.
Residents of the two townships are
not anxious for the return of the money
they invested; what they want is the road.
They claim that the line as originally
laid out traverses some of the richest and
most thickly settled farming country of
the state and firmly believe that the
branch would prove paying proposition
from the very start.

DEAD REMEMBERED
BY WAR VETERANS
MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED BY
APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
AT CEMETERY
PATRIOTIC UTTERANCES AWAKE
SPIRIT PREVALENT IN
WAR TIME

Memorial Day in New Ulm was fitting
ly observed by the public generally
and the members Of the Grand Army of
the Republic in particular. The veterans
of the Civil war turned out to man and
many of them turned back the tide of
time few years and participated afoot
in the parade through the business dis
riot. Although. age had bent their Shout
ders and bleached the once dark locks,
the sturdy old warriors looked straight
to the front as once they did in Southern
chimes to face victory or to face death.
Although silence prevailed in the ranks,
the stern faces depicted that patriotic
spirit which has led them for these many
years out to the silent city to d. homage
to their comrades who have passed on to
the Great Beyond. Not the patriotism so
shamefully misused as a rhetorical catch
word by political plunderes, or as parrot
slogan of the lingo orator, but a revival
of that patriotism which inspired them
when they offered their services and
their lives if need be upon the altar of
their country.
Even the weather man favored the
observance of the day and the parade
formed under azure skies. It was made

Address by Hon. S. D. Works, state
Insurance commissioner. Mr.. Works
took for his theme Citizenship. He re-
counted the days of hardship in the early
days Of this nation saying that the pio-
neers of this country have set an example
which the generation of today could we'll
follow; that the duty of a citizen is not
the mere right to vote, but that the word
has a broader and more noblef meaning
the right to take part in the functions
and workings of this republic He told
of scene in courtroom where foreigners
were made citizens and he had wondered
whether these people, hardly able to talk
or understand the language Of their
adopted country, would ever realize the
meaning of the word 'tcitizen." He
showed the other side of the picture and
portrayed these once ignorant foreigners
as the leaders in our business and public
life, taking an interest in American in
stitutions even more than those of
American birth. "And it has all been
brought about by the education which
we offer these people, declared the
speaker. "Once these people realize
the worth of our free institutions, they
become the most enthusiastic citizens
OF their adopted country. The man
who becomes citizen is given the most

MANY WAYS OF USING CIDER
There Is No Need of consgning 1t to
the Vinegar Barrel Just Because
1t Is Getting "Hard."

When your sweet cider begins to get
hard" don't consign it to the vinegar
barrel, but try using it in the follow
ing ways:
To bake apples or pears, use cider
instead of water to cover half the
fruit. Sweeten with brown sugar in
stead of white, add few cloves, a
stick of cinnamon, pinch of ground
ginger, and the result will be. dish
of deliciously favored fruit covered
with rich, spicy lot Of juice.
Or use cider as the foundation of a
gelatin or minute tapioca dessert in
place of water. Sweeten to taste, add
bit of lemon Juice, and when begin
ming to set add some chopped dates
and English walnuts. Or it can be
served perfectly plain and rather tart
with the meat course.
1t seems to fit right in with tur-
key or chicken dinner, just as much
so as cranberry jelly, and is a de-
lightful change.

An Aviator's Audacity.

The audacity and GOODNESS which
so strongly characterizes the exploits
Of the aviators in the war, is illus

Belgian aviator who had just de-

bullets, was questioned by his friends
as to the results Of his expedition.

view to taking photographs, when
I was charged by Fokker with two
machine guns l was unarmed. He
pursued me-. Well, could make no
other reply to him, so photographed
him." -

Be careful that the growing chicks
do not crowd in their coops as they
become larger and need more room.
1t is wise to scald all feed and drink
dishes every few days with boiling
water to kill the germs that collect
there before they (the germs) have a
chance to attack the fowls.
Don't let the drinking water for the
fowls and chicks stand around and
become hot and filthy, but give a new
supply frequently during the day.

Feed three times a, day and no
more, but add rolled oats to the chick

crumbs or cornbread will do If there
are no rolled oats on hand,
1t is not economy to feed young or
old stock on one grain, for q variety
will produce better Results from a
smaller amount Of feed.
Feed sour milk or beef. scraps to
help build muscle, feathers and bone.
one per cent Of bonemeal should also
be included in the ration.
If there is no natural shade for the
chicks, block up the coops so that the
chicks can get under them, or build
shelter tents, or in some way provide
artificial shade.
Careful breeding, proper feeding,
and the right kind Of care, will pro-
duce heavy laying in any breed of
fowls.
The first chick feed should be a dry
mixture Of cracked grains. Cracked
corn, wheat, kaflr, and pin-head oats
are all good.

pigeon family, but they are slow

Brine for Pickles.

1t is the custom with vegetables
such as tomatoes and cucumbers to
soak them in brine before putting
them through the regular picking
process. The brine is probably used
because it withdraws moisture from
the tissue of the vegetable and makes
it possible to obtain a frmer result,
renders a milder flavor, gives the de-
sired salt taste, and adds to the keep
ing quality of the pickles.
The strength of the brine required
depends on the length of time the
vegetable to be picked is to remain
in the brine.
Too strong brine softens and
spoils the vegetable. The proportions
should be: To one quart of water add
one-third to one-half cupful salt The
brine should be strong enough to float

ecoNoMlzE DIGESTION
The Eating Of Vegetables Without
Mastication Is Productive of
Gastric Rebellion.

Indigestion is often attributed to
hasty eating, and people are re-
proved and rightly so, for boiling their
food; but it Is interesting 10. observe
that while the boiling of meat is al
ways severely censured, one never
hears any blame attached to those who
swallow fruit by the mouthful. and de-
YOUR uncooked vegetables without any
attempt at mastication. Nevertheless,
it is the hasty swallower of vegetable
fiber who is really the inciter of gas
trio rebellion. Vegetables are, at all
times, very imperfectly digested by the
stomach, and require their tough
ibers to be thoroughly broken up by
the teeth if they are to be dissolved

the helps to digestion keen desire for
food is the most powerful and impor-

ponds upon conditions which are indie

very much restricted, but not SO much

Flour-Local brands have under

of the hard wheat varieties have
eased off little. There is only the
usual business passing to take care
of immediate requirements.
Feed-Because Of the unsettled con-
ditions of the wheat market, there

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

AS whole, business conditions
may be said to be at high tide. With
out doubt it is a period of high
prices, not only in the food line, but
in almost everything else that people
wear and use in their daily life. 1t
is simply a manifestation of the law
of supply and demand, with the de-
mand far exceeding the supply, it
would seem.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no further
advance in the butter quotations, but
the market is very firm, with de-
mands holding up we'll. Another ad-
vance is noted at Chicago, with de-
mands very good. Trade was active,
41@41kc for creamery extras.
Eggs-Another advance on eastern
fresh was made this week, with the
top figure at SIS. New York market
is reported easier, but prices still
high.
Poultry-No change as to prices
have been noted this week and sup
plies are coming to hand in good
quantities, although turkeys are not
quite so plentiful as last year. Chick
ems coming in are only fair as to
condition.
Fresh Meats-Pork and mutton are
still very firm, and beef, it is said,
probably will be advanced about the
first of the year, but not very much.
Lard and Cured Meats-Market is
still very firm, especially on lard.
Hides and Wool-No change as to
prices have been noted since the ad-
vance of last week and the market is
firm but rather quiet.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples--Quotations are holding at
about the same figure as for some
time, but the movement is increas.
ing with the advent of cold weather
Oranges-Market is easier, with
both Valencias and Navels quoting
at SIS for fancy and $3.50 for choice
Other Fruits-Lemons are off soc
this week, with fancy quoted at $3.50
and choice Sc. Cranberries are firm
and quoted at $11@11.5O.
Potatoes Market is little f1rmer
with an advance of Csc per cwt., max
ing the quotation So. Sweets still
hold at $2.75. At Chicago the mar
ket is firm and active, although there
was no material change in price.
Other Vegetables-Root vegetables
show some firmness, with quotations
varying from $3.50 to So per cwt
Cauliflower is little easier at $1.5O
per dozen.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-There has been sharp re
actions in the wheat market at Chi
cago the fore part Of the week, but
