WELL SATISFIED WITH HIS
PURCHASE.

The following letter was recently re-
ceived at the Review office and will
interest New Ulm people:
New Ulm Review,
New Ulm, MINI.
Gentlemen:
After purchasing large tract of land
through the Tauer Land Agency of
Garrison, Mclean County, North Dako-
ia, l immigrated to Garrison in the fall
of 1915. My first experience in farming
in North Dakota sure was lucky year
and a profitable one for me. Following
are the acres put in to small grain in the
spring of this season:
Wheat, 100 acres, yielding II bushels
to the acre; Oats, % acres, yielding rs
bushels to the acre; Barley, 90 acres,
yielding 20 bushels per acre; Corn, Is
acres, which is very good; Flax, 200
acres, yielding Is bushels per acre
| tilreshed in all 5000 bushels of flax. My
total income of small grain this year will
reach over $4,000 not including live
stock. I will state that l am not dis.
satisfied with my purchase here from the
Tauer Land Agency and can say this
much to any purchaser or prospective
land seeker, that the Tauer Land Agency
will do all in it's power to make the Wisest
and best selections of land for you fail
and honest.
The Tauer Land Agency has another
large tract of land across the river from
me, consisting of $500 acres, 1900 acres
of which is fine tillable land, of which
$40 acres is in it's natural state and the
balance in good upland timber which
is Of the very choicest land in Mercer
County.
This land is all fenced, we'll improved
and on the river front. This I think
would be a good deal for small colony
to purchase. For further particulars re-
garding this tract, write to the above
agency
I am as ever, for Garrison, NORTH
+! Dakota,
Your friend,
Andrew Krzmarzick

NEW AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
LIKELY TO BE POPULAR

A Vienna correspondent, writing Of the
new Emperor of Austria-Hungary, says
he is modest, kindly and predicts that he
will be very popular ruler. The CORE
spondent says:
= Seldom has more Importance for a
nations future attached to the personali-
ty and character of new ruler, and the
emperor is consequently the object of
most solicitous study, not only to his
new subjects and Austro-Hungarian
statesmen, but to his allies as we'll. Next
to the personal popularity which En-
press Zita enjoys among the polyglot
peoples of the Dual Monarchy, the
greatest significance for the future at
taches to certain manifestations on
Emperor Charles part of a real and
distinguished democracy of manner and
mind.
He is already showing earmarks to the
initiated of being decidedly modern
ruler and foe to excessive official redtape
and over meticulous court formalitites.
One of his first steps has been to pro-
mulgate novelty at court that is radical
for the Austria of Francis Joseph.
Ministers and other state functionaries
who personally appeared before the late
emperor to deliver their reports were
required to wear full dress suits regard
less of the time Of day, the hour of the
audiences being frequently before Or
binary mortals eat breakfast. To ex-
pedite business of the state, however,
the young soldier emperor, whose ex-
perence at the front has cured him of
any acquired fondness for fuss and frills,
has decreed that statesmen and other
personages shall appear before him in
conventional everyday clothes, a change
which is considered extremely charac-
teristic Of the new ruler.
While he has continued Prince Mon
>tenuo in the office of First Lord High
Chamberlain and made Count Berchtold
second court chamberlain, it is understood
that there will be sweeping changes
in other posts at court, all making for
simplicity and possibly foreshadowing
a breaking away from the infinitely
stereotyped observance at the Hapsburg
court of ancient traditional forms of the
old Spanish court dating from the
Fifteenth century.
An interesting sidelight on Charles
character is afforded by an authentic
anecdote going the rounds of diplomatic
circles. On receiving Hungarian war
correspondents at his east front head
quarters, one of them CHANGED ito praise
the military virtues Of the then army
commander, Archduke Charles, where
upon the latter replied:

"Ihave deep and abiding respect for
the press and my appreciation Of it's
brave work is great. / know how to
value the service which you are rendering
under arduous conditions. In these
extraordinary times it isn't meet, how
ever, that you should apply double
standard of measurement and write
more about me than about older generals
crowned with merited honors and ser
vices"
From well-informed parsonage at
Court cleaned the following additional
details regarding the new Kaiser:
Though the Saxon blood of his mother
has given the stamp to his outer ap-
pearance, Charles rs character is cut
along Hapsburg lines. His fundamental
characteristics are justice and devotion
to duty. His working day is plotted out
to the minute, and finds him always on
the job.
I'm manner he is of great modesty and
courtesy and entirely free from affecta
ton and pose. There is something de
cidedly chivalrous about his young,
supple, elegant figure in generals uni
form, his lively blue eyes, and Charles is
perfectly natural. He is always himself.
AS result he and the Empress Zita, even
amid court ceremonial, never make a
cut-and-dried conventional impression.
Their future popularity is assured
