ANTI-MILITARIST TO LECTURE
AT HANSKA FRIDAY.

The foremost figure in the anti
militarist propaganda in America today
is George R. Kirkpatrick, who will speak
at Liberal Union Hall, Hanska, Mimi, at
8 o'clock April 18th: His book, '.War,
What For?" has sent thrill thru the
nation and has achieved popularity
unequalled by any other book opposed
to war. It has taken front rank among
the vast number of books on socialism in
this country.
Up to the present time 10000 copies
of this great book have been disposed Of.
There has been an increased sale since
the outbreak of the war in Europe.
AS speaker Kirkpatrick is incom-
parable. He holds his audience in a
grip of iron. He paints capitalism and
militarism to them with a vivid reality
that makes men and women forget
themselves and listen with breathless
attention to his cutting sarcasm, his
word pictures, his terrible Indictment of
war and the commercialism which pro-
duces war.
Kirkpatrick was graduated from AL
bion College GA. b. He is one year
graduate student with paying scholastic
fellowship in public finance, economics
and history, of Vanderbilt University,
and one year graduate student in
sociology, education and economics of
the University of Chicago. Kirkpatrick
is lecturer for the New York City
board of education; an instructor in the
New York Rand School of Social Science,
and has taught college classes in sociology
and economics at various colleges and
universities.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick comes to Hanska
under the auspices of the Socialist local
of that village in cooperation with the
national organization. Quite a number
of New Ulm people are planning to
motor out to Hanska Friday to hear the
noted speaker.

BRIDGE DAMAGED
BY SPRING FLOODS
- .y,5 -. = -
ICE FL0ES DAMAGE STRUCTURE
CROSSING COTTONWOOD
NEAR MILL.
CITY IS OBLIGATED TO PAY
COST OF MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR.

Considerable damage was done to the
bridge over the Cottonwood river below
the Cottonwood mill by the outgoing
ice and it is believed that it will cost the
city several hundred dollars for repairs.
Six of the supporting braces under the
floor of the bridge have either been
broken off or the threads on the rods
damaged to such an extent that new
rods will be necessary and the nuts on
others are cracked so that they will have
to be replaced.
The damage was no doubt done by
an ice jam shortly after the river above
the dam began to break up. The
pressure must have been tremendous, as
the rods are about an inch thick.
Repair and repainting of the bridge
recently was brought up in meeting of
the city council and the matter referred
to the street committee with instructions
to confer with the board of county COM
missioners with a view of having the
c6unty pay a part of the costs of repair.
A member of the board of commissioners
states, however, that while the bridge
was built jointly by the city and county,
it was agreed at the time that the main
teriance of the structure would devolve
upon the city. Whether or not this
agreement is in official form is not
known.
The other bridges leading into the
city also have been inspected within the
last few days, but are found in a good
state of repair. The lower Minnesota
river bridge which had been under water
for several weeks is not damaged taaH
becausesthe current at that place is not
very strong and the pressure upon the
structure was but slight. The other
bridges were not reached by the high
water, although the approaches to some
of them were slightly damaged.
The water in both of the Cottonwoods
has reached practically a normal stage,
but the Minnesota still is at a higher
stage than usual at this time of the year.
Many fields in the lowlands still are
under water and in many cases the
prospect of raising ca rop during the
coming season seems hopeless. Should
the waters recede, however, within a
reasonable length of time the hay crop
on these lands will be bumper.
Roads along the bottoms are in a
passable condition, but need long
spell of dry weather to put them into
good condition.

ENGAGEMENT POSTPONED.

A special engagement will prevent the
Oberammergauer Peasant Players from
filling their date at Turner Hall next
Sunday. The troupe had been regularly
booked, but the advance man received
notice Monday that the company had
entered into a contract for special
engagement in Chicago, which made it
impossible to fill the local date. The
troupe will come to New Ulm, however,
at later date and fill the engagement.

R0UR-YBAR TERMS I
IN SUPREME COURT
ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD TODAY
ON CONsTITUTIONALITY OF
NEW LAW.
COUNTY OFFICIALS EXPECTING
DECISION ON MATTER THIS
WEEK..

County officials particularly and voters
generally will be interested in the pro-
ceedings before the state supreme court
today, when arguments will be heard on
the .constitutionality of the four-year-
term law passed by the 1913 legislature.
The matter is brought to the supreme.
court by Fred J Fischer of Buffalo.
Wright county, who attempted to file
as a candidate for county treasurer.
The county auditor refused to accept
the affidavit of nomination, holding that
there would be no vacancy in this or
any other county Offices for another two
years.
The legislature of 1918 provided for q
tour-year trem for county officers. The
present incumbent in the office of countv
treasurer was elected in November.
1914, and, according to the new law.
would hold office until January, 1919.
The attorney for the prospective can
dldate contends that the constitutions
fixes the term of county officers at two
years and that the legislature had no
right to change it to four years.
1t IS said that an association of county,
auditors OF the state has been formed and
raised money for the purpose of de-
tending the act of the legislature. Pro-
mlnent counsel, among them C. D.
O>brlen OF St. Paul and State Senator G..
Il. Sullivan of Saltwater, have been
engaged to represent the Wright county
auditor before the supreme court.
interest in the case is the greater be-
cause the supreme court only last week
declared unconstitutional the extension
OF the term OF clerk of courts, holding
that the constitution fixed the terms at:
four years, without specifically stating,
IN which years the terms shall begin or
end.
County officials, on the other hand
contend that a change from four to two
years would not only be a repeal. of the
1913 law, but also rank Injustice to the
present incumbents of county Offices.
All were nominated and elected with the
understanding that they would hold
Office for four years. Many have made.
disposition of their business interests to.
cover that period of time, some even
having entered into leases of homes for.
tour years at the county seat. The
campaign of 1914 was conducted on the:
tour-year term proposition and candidates
expended money in proportion.
The four-year law was passed by the
legislature upon the instigation of office
holders throughout the state, many of
whom had been in office good NARY
years already and to whom the biennial
recurrence of the election became mo-
notonous and regarded as superhuous
expense and burden. There had been
no general demand for the change from
two to four years by the people of the
state, although at the time of its adop-
ton there was but little opposition to it.
1t is confidently expected that the
supreme court will rush a decision of the
case, because the time for filing for
county offices expires May 80. Should
the law be declared unconstitutional there
will be a scramble of candidates to get
into the game, not only confined to
present incujmbents.

AVERAGE COST OF HEN FEED
Results of Poultry Experiments at Washington Station-Le0horn
 Costs $1.35 Yearly.

From records kept by the Washing ton experiment station, 1t is estimated that the average cost of feed for a laying hen is $1.50 per hen per year for the general-purpose breeds, such as Orpingtons, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans. The cost for Leghorns and Anconas has been $1.35 each. The average cost of producing eggs has been 16 cents per dozen.
 In incubating and breeding trials, out of 5000 eggs incubated, 2,300 chicks were matched The loss of chicks during, the breeding period was 8 per cent. It was found that chicks matched from eggs weighing from 24 to 27 ounces per dozen were more wig orous and grew more rapidly than those from abnormally large or very small eggs. The small eggs were about equal to the larger ones in fer. tility, but the chicks matched from these were lacking in vitality. The abnormally large eggs, weighing more than 27 ounces per dozen, were low in fertility, and did not hatch we'll.
