name 1t Is the freedom of the press
that permits the formation to public
opinion. German newspapers have
been timidly subservient to the auto
cratic interests OF the Imperial gov
eminent. They have often been Sc
cretly subsidized by the German gov
eminent. They have been even in
time of peace directly controlled by
the government.
1.-The most essential problem in the
making of durable peace is the
dissolution OF any partnership that
mav exist in any country between the
government and the press. There
can be no government by the c nsent
of the governed unless the people
have a means to make known their
wishes. In America they not only
have chosen representatives in con-
gress to speak for them, but enough
uncontrolled newspapers throughout
the length and breadth OF the land
through which the people can speak
TO congress when
once assembled.
Last. but not least is the question
of editorial and news intercourse be-
tween nations. News and editorial
opinion passing from nation to nation
must not be treated as contraband
by al intervening state at any time.
Otherwise there Is an opportunity for
the interposition of the national point
of view of states through which
ca les and telegraph lines must pass
en- route to a nation most vitality in
tcrested in understanding the view
point of another with which 1t is
in controversy or dispute. Interfer-
ence with the free intercourse of ma
tons through the press, either by
financial seduction of news agencies

"In response to your letter, ] en-

my good will for the success of the
Confederate reunion than for any
other purpose.
with considerable knowledge
thereof. for am venturing to speak
for n very considerable portion of
the Grand Army of the Republic, I
would say that we shall cordially well
come all the old 'Johnnies' who can
come to Washington. We shall be
more than glad to see them marching
along Pennsylvania avenue in the
near future than we would have been
to have seen them, armed and
equipped. make the same march dur
ing the sixties.
II. personally. know that for quite
a number of years past many of the
men who wore the gray have come to
realize, considering the power and
prosperity of this nation. that 1t was
we'll for every section of the country
that our internal strife ended as IL
did at Appomattox. I have always
considered that one OF the things the
veterans of the blue have A right TO
be mighty proud of is the fact that

their children. and their grandchil-

GETS COMMISSION AND BRIDE

- e
Earl Setter, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
Setter of this city has received his COM
mission as lieutenant in the regular
army. Only a few of these commissions
we're awarded in the Fortress Monroe
camp where Earl has been in training and
he feels we'll repaid for the hard study he
had to put in to gain it. Besides that,
he has had the good fortune to win the
consent of the finest girl IN the country
Miss Blanche Alexander of Detroit, Mich.
to an early marriage. 1t. Setter was
granted short furlough which he spent
at Detroit when the wedding was to
take place. His mother left last week
to meet him there and be present at the
wedding. The groom expects to be
sent west to some training camp on the
coast before leaving for France. The
best wishes of Earl's Newt I'm schoolmates
and other friends will go with him in the
various new duties he has assumed as
husband and soldier.

RIVER NAVIGATION RELIC
IS. COMING TO NEW ULM

About two years ago the Junior
Pioneers Of New Ulm and vicinity decided
to accept the offer Of Capt. Jacob Him
dermann Of Ridgely to turn over to them
the boiler of the good ship Otter"
which piled on the Minnesota River as a
freight boat in the early days, and which
was finally beached on the Hindermann
place about forty years ago.
One Of the aims of the Junior Pioneers
is to preserve all relics that have any
historic value and for that reason the
offer of Capt. Hindermann was gladly
accepted. On account Of the high stage
of water in the Minnesota River it was
impossible to get the boiler out of the
hull and it was not until short time
ago that the work could be done, Christ
Filzen, Jr.. did the work and the boiler
will be brought to town today.
There has been considerable expense
connected with bringing the boiler to
New Ulm and the committee in charge
has arranged for little celebration to
make, if possible, enough money to pay
the expenses incurred. Arrangements
have been made with Hofmeister's Band
that they will give their concert next
Sunday at Turner Park instead of
German Park and the Junior Pioneers
will have charge of all the refreshment
stands. The concert will be preceded
by a parade which will form at Christ
Filzen's home, corner State and 9Th
North Street at Z clock p. m. in which
all Junior Pioneers are expected to
participate. Hofmeister's band will
head the procession and the parade will
pass thru Minnesota Street to Turner
Park. The Junior Pioneers will act as
an escort to Capt. Hindermann and the
relic. In addition to the concert the
committee may be able to arrange for
other mnubers on the program. This
much is certain, an enjoyable evening is
in store for all who attend.

PROBLEM OF PICKING
POTATOES FOR SHOW

Dig when the ground is dry.
Let potatoes lie on the ground long
enough to dry thoroughly and to tougher
the skin.
Carefully wrap each tuber separately
in paper.
Place in shallow one-layer boxes and
store in dark cool place. S..
Take out just before time to send the
tubers to the show.
Clean them with soft brush remov-
ing every particle Of the dirt.
Avoid pressure in order not to iniure
the tubers.
Do not wash; tubers wilt if washed
and have an unnatural sheen.
Pick out a model Of the type, size,
color and eyes Of the variety to be ex-
hibited.
Make the rest of the lot as nearly like
this model as possible.
See that the skin is clean, smooth and
free from sunburn, having a desirable
luster and bloom and being free from
all blemishes of all sorts.
Wrap in soft paper and pack SO that
they will not jostle or jar in being shipped.

STATE HEALTH BOARD TO
HOLD MANY FREE CLINICS

The State Board cf Health wishes
to make thoro examination Of every
survivor Of the 1916 epidemic Of infantile
paralysis, and also Of those who have
any degree Of disability, however slight,
as result Of the disease in previous
years.
A record Of such disability and its in
fuence on the earning power and happi-
ness Of the individual is Of great impor-
tance to the State from an economic
standpoint. Also it will show which
individuals are in need Of special treat
ment now and enable the State, in CO.
operation with the family physician, to
render assistance according to circun-
stances in each case.
The request for examination of
EVERY SURVIVOR Of the 1916 epi-
demic is based upon the experience of
the poliomyelitis clinics conducted in
Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York.
There, many persons without notice
able impairment, Of function, were
found when given the special tests at the
clinic, to have slight disability likely
to become more marked if not properly
treated.
The examinations for this district will
be made at Mankato, August %, 20, 80,
81 and September l, between the hours
Of 10 o'clock a. m. and 4. p. m.
The state board is counting en- the
physicians and citizens in this district
to cooperate in making these clinics a
success.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Keep the strawberries growing by cul-
tivation as long as possible.
Many of the wild fruits, such as the
highbush cranberry, pincherry, and
choke cherry, make good jelly.
Iris may be transplanted late this
month or early next. The old clumps
should be broken up once in while and
reset.
Keep all the operations of canning
clean and sanitary. A little dirt, a little
carelessness, may spoil hours of hot
work. Be careful.
Plan visit to the county fair and if
possible to the state fair. 1t is worth
while to make an exhibit OF some sort
at your county fair. Show your neigh
bors and friends what you can do. It
is good advertising.
Be careful to grade and pack apples
well for market. Only firm, sound fruit
should be used and this should be Of
uniform size and quality, no matter
whether the box or barrel is used.
The Whitney apple is nearly ripe now
These must be marketed, used, or cam
ned as soon as ripe. In few days they
become mealy.
If onions refuse to ripen it is some
times a good plan to bend the tops
over with rake.
Celery may be blanched by placing
boards, paper or dirt about it. A drain
tile will do. Soil is likely to cause de-
cay in the early varieties if putson du;r-
ing hot weather.
1t is usually good plan to market
onions as soon as possible in the au-
tumn. If one has good storage facili-
ties it may pay to keep them until into
the winter.-LeRoy Cady, associate

FLOUR MILL REOPENINC
NOW UP TO SLEEPY EYE

Whether or not the big Touring mill
at Sleepy Eye is to be re-organized and
again set in motion, is up to the business
men and capitalists of that city accord
ing to the Herald-Dispatch.
The property was recently bid in by
the bond-holders at Sheriff's sale at the
court house in this city. The new owners
are willing to again set the wheels in
motion, but before doing so they wish to
reorganize the company, forming new
corporation, and ask the citizens Of
Sleepy Eye to subscribe to 100000 Of
the stock.
It is presumed that this will be done
and Sleepy Eyes chief industry again
started running.
