GOOD ADVICE

If the concern where you are
employed is all wrong and the
Old Man a curmudgeon, it may be
well for you to go to the Old Man
and kindly tell him that he is a
curmudgeon. Explain to him that
his policy is absurd. Then show
him how to reform his ways, and
you might offer to take charge of
the concern and cleanse it of all
its secret faults.
Do this, or if for any reason you
should prefer not, then take your
choice of these:
Get our, or get in line.
If you work for man, in heav-
ems name work for him!
If he pays you wages that sup
ply you your bread and butter,
speak well of him, think we'll of
him and stand by the institution
he represents.
If put to the pinch, an ounce of
loyalty is worth pound Of clev-
erness.
If you must villify, why, resign
your position. But, l pray you,
so long as you are part of an
institution, do not condemn it.
Not that You will injure the insti-
tution--not that-but when you
disparage the concern of which
you are part, you disparge your
Self.-EXchange.

GEORGIA COURTHOUSES
DIRTY AND UNHYGENIC
(Article Issued by the Georgia
Board of Healthy

A court house stands for the
protection of life against physical
torce-it should stand for the pro-
lection of life against all prevent
able causes. Instead of this.
however, a very large percentage
OF those we have in Georgia are
SO unsanitary as to constitute a
menace to the health of those who
J go into them. The writer has
been into a great many court
houses OF the state and he knows
whereof he spelks when he saws
that for the most part they are
dirty and unhygenic. Dust and
dirt and tobacco spit are in evil
dence on the walls as we'll as on
the floors, and as rule the way
the toilet does not have to be ask
ed as it is able to speak for itself.
This condition of affairs should
be changed and this building
should be kept so clean as to set
a good example in sanitation and
hygiene to the rest of the country.
Not infrequently in the Pre-
sentiments of the Grand Jury
there will appear report to the
following effect: 1--WE have in
spected the court house and found
1t well kept and in good order"
Since the veracity of a grand jury
is not to be questioned, and since
it would be little short of a sacri-
lege to accuse one of these august
bodies of ignorance, it must be
concluded that the court house
was especially cleaned up for
their benefit before the inspection
was made. From this we may in
ter that the court houses get at
least couple of cleanings a year,
but as the Governor Of North
Carolina said to the Governor of
South Carolina: cts long time
between drinks"
However, if the semi-annual in
spections of the Grand Jury have
the effect of causing the janitor
to clean UP twice a year, it is
natural to believe that more fire.
quent inspections would cause
more frequent cleanings.
All the counties should adopt
the Ellis Public Health Law,
which provides, among other
things, for trained sanitarian to
make frequent inspections of
court houses, jails, schools, hotels,
restaurants, slaughter pens, meat
markets, grocery stores, baker
shops, and the like.
Let us have special person
whose business it is to see to it
that public buildings and places
where food is handled are kept
clean and sanitary.
Let there be more frequent in
spections in order that there NAV
be less dirt and less disease.

NEW ULM BOY SEES SERVICE
ON BORDER

Another New Ulm boy is seeing SER
vice through his enlistment in the United
States army. He is Emil Groebner, son of
Jos. A. Groebner of this city, who enlisted
in the Seventh Infantry about three
years ago and has been stationed in the
Philippines until recently when the re-
giment was ordered home and sent to
the Mexican border on patrol duty.
A part of the Seventh already is at
the front and participating in the chase
after the elusive bandit chief, Villa, but
Groebner is still stationed with a part
OF the regiment near Ell Paso, Texas,
guarding the railroads and bridges and
keeping open the line of communication
between the invading forces and the
supply depots on this side of the line.
The young man recently wrote to his
father that he expects to return to New
Ulm some time next fall, unless the
Mexican situation takes a more serious
turn. He writes that the outfit he is
with is always ready for an emergency
call from the front and every man is
fully expecting to receive orders to move
at any moment: Through his foreign
service Grobener has seen considerable
of the world and his father is anxious to
see him return home and hear the story
of his experiences. X

CAMBRIA BATTLERS ARE HAILED
INTO COURT.

The battle staged at Cambria during
the night of April z, when neck-yokes
and other instruments of destruction
came into play, has resulted in the
participants to the affair being hailed into
court at Mankato. The hearing was
held Thursday of last week. Henry
Walters was charged with assault in the
second degree, the complaining witness
being Edward P. Evans. Walters was
held to await the action of the district
court and released on $500 bail.
Evans testified that the trouble arose
over the blocking of the chimney of
Wcodmen hall, where play was to be
given. This was done during a re-
hearsal. He said his son was accused
of being the one who blocked the CHM
ney, and that this son and Walters had
some words about it. He said Walters
kicked his son, and that he himself after
wards had words with Walters about
this.
The witness related that it was on the
night of the play itself that Walters COM
mitted the assault on him. He said
after the play was over he went to look
for his son and ran across Walters and
some other men in the alley back OF the
Tanley home. He said Walters was
threatening to fight somebody in the
alley. He related that he went up to
Walters, grabbed him by the arm, and
with his other hand pushed him back
abouttwenty feet. He said Walters did
not say anything but ran and got a neck
yoke and attacked him with 1t. linen
others interfered.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HONORS
ANNOUNCED

Stonia Kunze won the highest class
honors in this years graduating class
with an average of over go per cent
Ruth Olson was awarded second place
with an average of over 90 percent but a
slight fraction of one per cent lower
than Stonia's. These two girls will
deliver the valedictory and salutatory
addresses at the commencement exer-
cises in June. The averages this year
are higher than they have been in most
of the past years. The race for class
honors has been so close that it was never
a certainty for the winner up to the
final decision. George Mayer was given
third rank with an !: average which
came close up to the record set up by
the two honor students.

Tetween the acts the famous folk
songs of the peasants will be sung, either
solos and quartettes will be given and

dance which has made the Peasant

Arrangements are being made for the

mer months when theaters in the larger
cities are closed up.

TEST FOUR-YEAR TERM LAW

The attack on the fcur-year term of
county officers, long anticipated, was
begun in the supreme court last Monday,
when Fred Fischer of Wright county
obtained writ from the court to show
cause why the county auditor of his
county would not accept his filing as a
candidate for the office of county
treasurer.
AS the time for filing for county offices
expires on May Goth, it is believed that
the supreme court will render a decision
within week in order to give prosepc-
tive candidates time to announce them
selves should the law be declared I'M
constitutional.
Every county officer in the state with
the exception of some of clerks of court
will watch the outcome of the proceed
ings with interest.

OPPOSE RESIGNA.
TON OF CAPTAIN.

At a special meeting of the non-com-
'missioned officers of Company A last
Wednesday evening at the Armory, reso-
lutions were passed urging the present
commander of the company, Capt.
Babtiste Groebner, not to resign and
agreed to do everything in their power
to prevent such a move, either forced or
voluntary. The resolutions also tend
to correct the RI NOR to the effect that the
company as whole is inefficient and it
is the belief of the non-coms that the
organization is as efficient as any in the
state.
Attention is called to remarks made
by Major Johnson during the recent
federal inspection, to the effect that the
non-commissioned officers of company A
were we'll versed in their duties and in
this respect were ranking higher than
others inspected up to that time. The
inspection report shows the equipment
of the company to be in frst-class con-
dition.
The infantry company is at present
making preparations for the annual en-
campment at Lake City and the study
of OUTPOST duty is being taken up par
ticularly, as it is expected that this
branch of duty will be taken up on an
extensive scale during camp.

place.
The contest was he Id under the
auspices of Hamline University which
will hold state contest at St. Paul on
May IL. In the state contest each
congressional district will be represented
by one speaker and the winner of first
place will receive a gold medal for him
self and cup for his school. Freitag,
by winning first in the district contest,
will have the honor of representing the
second congressional district.
This brilliant showing of the New
Ulm orators is due as much to the I'M
firing efforts of their coach, Principal
P. W. Hutson, as to their own energy
and ability. Mr.. Hutson trained the
six boys who contested in the local con-
test two weeks ago, and the results at
that time forecast this splendid climax
in the district contest.
The orations were all on the subject
Of "Peace," which at this time is quite
appropriate. In spite of the difficulty
of securing acceptable orations, Mr..
Hutson managed to unearth several
which had the necessary possibilities in
securing good expression. Both of the
orators have spent an unusual amount
of labor upon their selections, and de-
serve full credit for their work. The
final contest will call for the best that
is in them, but with the evidence of their
ability already shown there is little
question but that they will come up to
all expectations.
Freitag entered high school as a
junior last September, having previously
attended at Max, North Dakota. Since
entering school he has shown much
l terary ability, being an active worker
in the Protean Literary Society. His
friends are confidently expecting him to
place high in the state contest.

Next Friday, May S, has been desig-
mated by Governor Burnquist by pro-
clamation as Cleanup. Day" for the
entire state and he urges that all citizens
cooperate in cleaning up the winters
accumulation of refuse. This is not to be
proclaimed holiday by any: means,
but day upon which citizens are urged
to put forth an especial effort to make an
investigation of their yards and alleys
and remove everything which might have
tendency: to start confagration or
spread or breed disease.
Robert W: Hargadine, state fire
marshal, has asked the newspapers to
aid in spreading the gospel of cleaning
up and says: .
"Reports received from deputies
throughout Minnesota show that there
is special need this year for extra efforts
to eliminate rubbish piles. This is due
to the unusually heavy snow Of the past
season. In. many places, especially in
the larger towns and cities, the refuse
piles have been allowed to accumulate
closet wooden structures, because of the
inability of most folks to go far from the
house.
Waste paper, pasteboard boxes, oily
cloths, empty oil cans and other refuse
combine to make a dangerous heap of
rubbish. 1t is suggested that every
citizen of Minnesota lend hand and
spend at least an hour on May 9Th to
clean up their premises.
Work together. Reduce the fire
hazard and make Minnesota fre-proof,
is the only request made by the State
FiH Marshal Department. The CO.
operation of the newspapers throughout
Minnesota in this campaign is appreciated
by this Department and the aid is es-
pecially asked this year because of the
unusual need of team work on the part
of everybody.
''The Fire MarshaPs Department has
sent notices to Mayors and Fire Chiefs
in all the towns in the state urging CO.
operation on their part. In addition
posters are being distributed for the
benefit of everybody, advising of the
need of what should be done to clean

ocularly and forcibly demonstrated at
the annual exhibition of the classes OF

evening and after seeing the results oil
physical culture one ceases to wonder
why there are over three hundred people
ranging in age from 6 to so years in New
Ulm, taking advantage of such instruc-
ton under Prof. Helm.
While the mass in itself was impress.
sive, it was the attention paid to the
small detail which caught the eye oil
those interested in physical culture
Little tots not yet in their teens par
ticipated in exercises tending to build
up their bodies and train the alertness
of the mind. The calsthenics, antago.
nistics and folk dances, participated in by
the little boys and girls, showed the form
of physical culture applied to the young
who must have an outlet for their sur
plus energy.
The exercises for the second boys
and girls classes demonstrated how grace
in movement and bearing is attained,
as well as strength and quickness through
the exercises on the apparatus. The
third group presented the almost finished
product in the exthetic dances by the
girls and the complicated wand drills
by the boys.
The exercises on the parallel bars went
to show that physical culture is not only
necessary for the youth but becomes a
pleasure to those who have gone through
the various stages of development, and
after reaching their majority feel that
they cannot afford to 60 without some
form of physical exercise under the watch
full eye of the instructor.
While the exhibition is an annual af-
fair, last Saturdays event had another
significance, for the local society of Junior
Turner's (Zoeglingsverein celebrated
the ffthieth anniversary of it's organiza-
ton. Capt. Steinhauser gave short
resume of the history of the society and
explained the object and principles of
the MATHEMATICIAN Gymnastic Union,
expressing the opinion that the lead
taken by this society will in time be
followed by the introduction of ply
steal culture, not only in the public
schools of the country, but in the church
societies as we'll. He called attention
to the fact that at the recent Sunday
school convention at Austin the matter
of introducing physical culture as a part
of the Sunday school work, was discussed
seriously by the delegates. He congratu-
lated the class in charge of the exhibition
this year and urged them to keep their
minds clean and clear and their bodies
healthy and sound, so that they may be
prepared to face the battles of life when
they are ready to make their way in the
world.
The exhibition closed with the build
