TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF
SERVICE


have an opportunity to receive the cleo
ton returns on the night of November
Z at the rooms of the New Ulm Com
mercial Club, whether members of that
organization or not.
At a meeting of the club directors
Friday night, arrangements were made
with Manager P. R. Nc Hale, of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
whereby the returns will be supplied by
messenger Immediately upon their re-
ceipt at the Western Union office.
All Voters Invited
The directors wish it understood that
not only club members are expected to
take advantage of this service, but all
voters are invited to make the club
rooms their headquarters on that night.
Returns from the NATIONAL state and
congressional elections will be received
during the night.
President G. A. Ottomeyer and the
directors, at the meeting, discussed the
fact that there is misrepresentation
among the people of this city as to the
availability of the club rooms for citizens
who are not members. The plan is to
make the club rooms truly community
center for the business, professional,
and in fact all men of New Ulm. They
are expected to make free use of the
rooms where they meet many strangers
when quiet conference is desired. It
is not necessary to be member to avail
oneself of this privilege. The rooms
are also available for small conventions.
or for social or business intercourse.
New Janitor is Engaged
Mrs. White, whose husband had long
been janitor of the club rooms prior to
his recent death, has been engaged to
act In that capacity in the future.
The annual election of the clubs
officers and directors will be held on the
! evening of Tuesday, November ID.
The commercial club is reported in
excellent condition, both financially and
socially Its usefulness to the city is
being demonstrated every day, and it is
the desire of the directors and officers to
make it even more so.
Road Signs Next Spring.
1t was decided that the long talked of
signs to be placed on the highways lead
ing to New Ulm, would be prepared
during the winter and placed in position
IN the early spring. The signs to be of
iron, it being the opinion of those present
that the proposed wooden ones would
not be of sufficient durability, and that
iron ones would be worth much more
than the difference in the cost.
G. A. Stolz, chairman of the good
roads committee, said while figures had
been obtained on road signs that it had
been proposed to place along the high
ways, it had later been decided not to
act too hastily in the matter, but to
erect something better and more sub
stantial than had at first been contem-
plated. Therefore the committee had
concluded to wait until spring before
erecting the signs, members of the
committee as well as the directors, be-
lleve that few iron signs erected on
iron standards, would be better and
cheaper in the end than wooden ones
which would soon have to be replaced.
Mr.. Stolz also suggested that the COM
mlttee might take the matter up with
representatives in the surrounding
towns and make the road-markinq uni
versal throughout this section.
Other Towns Might Cooperate.
If Sleepy Eye, Springfield, Hanska
and Comfrey in this county; St. Peter
and other towns in Nicollet county, as
well as Mankato and other nearby cities
would cooperate with us in the matter.
said he" we could have signs directing
to all OF the places, and then it would
not have selfish appearance and the
travelling public would have great deal
better service than according to our
preliminary plans.
There is also another proposition
that have had in mind: Why should
mt the state mark the directions on all
roads? | believe it should do SO. I
don't know that there is money avail
able for that purpose, but it would seem
only right that if there is no provision
now for such action one should be made.
Next to good roads there is nothing
mote appreciated by the person travel
ing through the country by either team
or auto, than to find the highways pro-
perly and plainly marked
