Traffic Regulations Inadequate

The first automobile accident of the
season occurred on the streets OF shis
city Thursday afternoon. A pedestrian
was run down and badly injured while
crossing the street. 1t was only by
mere luck that DR.. Weiser was not more
seriously hurt. And it is mere luck
there are not more accidents on New
Ulm's streets.
People wonder daily that with the
reckless manner in which cars are driven
up and down the various thorofares of
the city that an accident does not occur
at least once day.
Thursdays accident, however, was
not due to fast driving. All eye-witnesses
agree on this point. 1t seemed to be
just one of those things that will happen,
and no one was blamed. However
there was a lack of traffic rule, which
had it been in force would have probably
prevented the accident. In all large
cities, and in many small ones, the driver
of car is obliged to raise his arm and
indicate which way he is to turn when
about to round corner. By this means
the pedestrian or the driver of a car
following knows just what course to
take.
That is one of the features that should
be added to the traffice rules of this
city compel the driver of any vehicle to
raise his arm and indicate if he is about
to turn corner, and which way he in
tends to turn. It should be made a rule
and enforced.

WOULD BUY HISTORIC LAND.

Charles Hopkins of Fairfax was in the
city yesterday. He came here to dis
cuss with the directors of the Fort
Ridgely National Park and Historical
association, ways and means to- purchase
the acre OF ground adjoining the park at
Fort Ridgely on which is located the
Methodist church, which had been
offered to the association at very
reasonable price. A bill was presented
in the legislature, appropriating $500
for the purchase Of the desired property,
but thai body cut out all appropriations
for park purposes, hence the bill fell by
the wayside. Mr.. Hopkins is deeply
interested in the proposed historical trail
to traverse the Minnesota river from St.
Peter to Big Stone Lake. A meeting of
those interested in the project is to be-
held at Redwood Falls Saturday, May
26, when it is expected definite action
looking toward the establishment of the
trail will be taken. ~

NoaV Figuring UpLosses

Minneapolis women who have been
attacked by ''buying hysteria" for
more than two weeks, laying in great
supply of food, enough to last six months
or a year at prices the highest in half a
century, are now said to be wearing out
lead pencils, figuring up their losses.
Their buying campaign consisted of
laying in great supplies of flour, sugar,
potatoes and canned goods. And it
was in the face of repeated warnings
that prices on all or most of these COM
modities would soon be lower in price,
This food is now stored in Easements
and attics and the householders are
just realizing that they made fools of
themselves.
The frenzy of housewives kept the
grocery stores of the Mill City in an
uproar, but the merchants reaped a rich
harvest, while it lasted.

Union, and touches every phase of the

Union, and touches every phase of the
welfare of the infant and young child
The government realizes the necessity
of providing sound instruction in the
care of babies and is making it convenient
for parents to get plenty of information
on the subject.
The time has gone by when most any
one can take care of baby Conditions
of living have changed and for babies to
be sound in body and normal in mind
they must have different treatment than
sufficed years ago.
There are many things to be considered
in this better baby movement. First
of all is the baby's birth-right. Every
baby has right to be we'll born. It is
stated that one-fifth of the children in
the state of Minnesota pay for the weak
nesses of their parents, and a similar
percentage is kept out of high school for
the same cause. .r-.. -. r.. j
Think of it! Surely this must be of a
community interest.
Saving the babies is the first step, and
the most important one, in the move
ment for the conservation of our re-
sources.

CUMMINGS BRIDGE

The Brown county board of county
commissioners yesterday went to St.
Peter where the members met the Nicollet
county board for the purpose of dis
cussing the rebuilding of the Cummings
bridge near Golden Gate, which was
carried away by the high water early
this spring. It has been reported that
one member of the Nicollet county board
was opposed to rebuilding the bridge at
the point where it stood before, but
wanted it farther UP stream. There,
however, is sSrong sentiment in the
neighborhood favoring replacing it at
the same place and a largely signed
petition circulated to that effect. A
delegation of New Ulm citizens, includ-
ing members of the city council and of
the Commercial club, also went to St.
Peter for the purpose Of asking the COM
missioners there to bear a part of the
expense in raising the Kuehnel road to
a height that it may not be overfowed
every spring.

FIRE. MARSHAL WILL AIM
OPROTECT FOOD STURAC

A special campaign has been COM
menced by Robert W. Hargadine; state
fire marshal, to free all elevators, ware
houses storehouses and structures where
all kinds of foodstuffs are stored or kept,
from every fire hazard.
The work began in the district Sc
questered by the state safety commission
in Minneapolis. In that district, where
an enormous supply of foodstufs is
manufactured and stored extra pEeeau-
tons have been taken to prevent fires.
TwentY-fiv structures which are con-
sidered fire hazards have been ordered
demolished and other buildings sub
jected to thorough inspection, and
hazardous conditions ordered corrected
to prevent fires. '''
Realizing that every ounce o. the
states and nations resources must be
conserved, this department. is enlisting
the cooperation of fire chiefs and fire
prevention societies thruout the state in
the prevention of waste thru fires.
If Governor Burnquist, and other
leaders, are urging the people to help
conserve the resources of the state, and
farmers are being prevailed upon to
cultivate every available acre for more
food products, it would be most repre-
henslhle to permit this sarle food, the
stored power that will influence the
destiny of nations, to be destroyed in
fire inviting warehouses and storage
buildings. -
/! Despite the enourmoos American fire
losses in the first three months of 1916,
which aggregated $82,376,820, the loss
for the first three months of this year in
this country was $83, 539, 430. There
were 40 fires, each of which caused a
property loss of 100000 or more, and
the largest losses during March were to
grain elevators. Therefore, special steps
are being taken to guard the flour mills
and elevators of Minnesota from de-
struction by fire. @-

Three Conferences Meat Week

Three Minnesota Recreation con-
ferences, or Conferences on the Mobiliza-
tion of Human Resources are planned
for next week. They are to be held in
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. The
first will be on Tuesday, May Is, in St.
Paul; the second in Minneapolis on
Wednesday, May 16, and in Duluth
Thursday, May II. They will open at
! 80 and close at 1890 p. m. in each city.
Minnesota's leisure-time problems and
recreational needs-with special en-
phasis upon small towns and rural COM
1nunities- will be discussed. Leaders
in related lines will share their experience
es. Proposed laws and other practical
plans for Minnesota will be considered.
Governor Burnquist in discussing the
proposed conferences, quotes from George
Eliot: Important as it is to organize
and direct the industry of the world, it
is more important to organize and direct
the leisure of the world"
From various towns and cities of
minnesota, men and women are going to
one of the three conferences. They will
attend the one in the nearest city.
In nearly fifty towns and cities of the
state, representatives of the Fairgrounds
and Recreation of America have observed
local conditions and conducted duca-
tional campaigns. This affords unique
opportunity for putting Minnesota in
the forefront of all the many states which
are promoting physical efficiency, team
play and community spirit thru play
grounds, recreation centers and organ
ICED activities that develop health
happiness and working power.
It is to be hoped that at least one OF
two New Ulm citizens will take the
interest necessary to attend one OF the
meetings in the Twin Cities.

COUNTRY is CALLING
FOR CORN; PLANT MORE

Remembering that corn will be de-
pended upon largely to meet the threat
ened food crisis of next fall and win
ter, the crop subcommittee of the state
committee on food production and con-
is urging the planting of the
largest possible acreage of corn on Min
nesota's farms this spring.
In answer to this call for corn, the
people at University Farm are pointing
out the essentials for securing from SO
to 100 bushels of corn to the acre. These
essentials are a productive soil, good
seed, well-prepared seeded, a perfect
stand and proper cultivation.
The varieties of seed recommended
for southern Minnesota by the Mime
sofa experiment station are Minnesota
No. 13, Silver King, and Rustler; and
for northern Minnesota, Minnesota No.
%, Northwestern Dent, and Minnesota
grown flints.
The problem now is to see that every
one has seed enough. To this end, c.
P. Bull, University Farm, st. Paul
urges that farmers having a surplus Of
good seed corn notify him OF the fact
giving the number of bushels at Their
disposal. Likewise, farmers not sup.
piled with seed should write to Mr.. Bull
in order that he may put than in touch
with farmers having more then enough
EVERY farmer in the southern hall
of Minnesota should put in from to II
acres more then usual" says Mr.. Bull
"To do so, is to render patriotic service
and it will also be good business.

.Bubu Week Observance rs
Phase of Community Spirit

A phase of the community spirit in
which everybody can agree, and one
which is of general benefit to the public, is
the observance of Baby Week. The
best welfare of the babies makes it ap-
peal to all of us, and by cooperating
with the public spirited women who have
taken hold of this worthy effort for
better babies, their endeavors will meet
with success, and the benefit to the COM
1n71nitv cannot be over estimated.
The observance here is only one of a
wide movement.
That something could be done to save
the babies and make their world better
place for them to live IN was first pro.
posed by the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs. The movement has
widened until it covers every state in the

Had "RehqioMs ScrMples"

A St. Paul man is accused of having
paid an imported ''gun man" several
thousand dollars to murder his wife.
Among the alleged possible motives
given by the police was that the man
wished to marry again, and his religious
scruples prevented his doing so while
his divorced wife still lived.
So he wanted her killed.
That's pretty near the limit along
the religious lscruples' line.
.. 1t is presumed, according to that, his
conscience would have been perfectly
clear after the woman whom he had
first taken as his wife had been safely
laid way, at the hands of an assassin's
bullet, and by his own conniving- he
hadn't been caught.

Even, a partial failure has never been
experienced Rye in Minnesota yields
we'll and brings good price, Mime
sofa No. 2 rye, a pedigreed strain from
University Farm, has given for several
years an average yield of between IS
and 40 bushels to the acre.. All seed of
this and other improved varieties that
can possibly be saved should be carried
over to insure the best possible crop
production in 1918 and 1919.

Some farmers are lamenting the I'M
usually cool weather for this time of
year. Others claim it is better because
the grain roots become much more hardy
than when the weather starts off too
warm, thus better crop is assured.
The latter is true optimism.
