BROWN COUNTY HAS ONLY
SEVEN FIRES IN A YEAR

There were six less number of fires in
Brown county in 1916 than in the year
previous, according to the annual report
just made public by Robert w. Har-
gadine, Minnesota state fire marshal.
The summary received from the fire
marshal this week, shows that there
were seven fires in the county during
last year, compared with thirteen in 1915.
The losses aggregated, in 1916, $6,465,
while in the year before they reached the
sum of $25,492, a decrease of six fires
and $19,027 in losses.
"The report Mr.. Hargadine says,
shows that the people of Brown county
are wide awake to the necessity of fire
prevention
"The individual reports as checked
up by our department, for the year 1916 y
he adds "show beyond a doubt while
there was considerable loss from fires it
might easily have been still greater. It
is evident that the people of Brown
county, individually and collectively,
have taken proper and necessary pre-
cautions to safeguard both private and
public property from fire loss. by re-
ducing the amount of inflamable ma
terial to such an extent that the in
.terests Of the entire community have
been well maintained in the prevention
of fires"

NEW ULM BOY ACHIEVES
FAME IN SCHOOL WORK

cussing the work in the physical train

that city, the: Sentinel pays high tribute
to S. L. Koehler, son of Mr.. and Mr..
Eugene Koehler of this city.
Every pupil above the second grade
in the Fairmont schools is receiving
scientific and practical instructions in
physical training under the guidance of
Mr.. Koehler who is the assistant manual
training teacher in the schools of that
city. The pupils of the third, fourth, fifth
and sixth grades are receiving the instruc-
lions daily the boys being separated from
the girls in receiving the training. The
junior and high school pupils take their
lessons in this branch of the work but
twice a week.
Mr.. Koehler, who is graduate from
the New Ulm High School, has had con-
siderable experience in physical training
in various schools before going to the
Fairmont schools.

Of the Dan Patch Line, officially known

debts of the company have paid, which
include the mortgages.

KLAUSE IS

border, holding the position of Provost
Marshal Of the Thirteenth Provisional
Division, which comprised nine regi-
ments of infantry, two of field artillery,
hospital corps, signal corps supply and
ambulance trains and medical corps,
has received very complimentary letter
from his superior officers, signed by
Brigadier General Lewis and Major w.
C. Babcock. The letter says in part:
This is to assure you of the appre-
citation of your work as provost marshall
of the Thirteenth provisional division.
Without any local precedent you organ
lied and administered police force,
which at all times, without regard to
hours, efficiently performed the duties
required of it. You were entrusted with
certain confidential missions, which were
always accomplished to the satisfaction
of the division commander. You in
stituted a system Of records and daily
reports that serve as models for your
successor. Your handling Of the mem

FORMER COMMITTEEMAN
REPUDIATED BY PoLKOW

Herman Polkow, chairman Of the
Board Of Commissioners Of Brown
county, who is also president of the State
Association Of County Commissioners,
is incensed at the claims made by one
c. M. King Of Deer River, who pretends
to represent the commissioners associa-
ton before the legislature. 5
Mr.. Polkow hasswritten letter to a
Minneapolis paper, denying that King
has anything to say as to what the
commissioners desire, and contradicts
a statement recently given out by the
Deer River man to the effect that the
state association is opposed to central
lied road construction, and urged that
the legislature apportion to the counties
the money received from the federal
government for highway aid.
Mr.. King represented himself as
chairman of the associations legislative
committee, which position, Mr.. Polkow
says, he has not held since the annual
meeting was held at Saltwater last
September. H. NJ. Burnam is the
present chairman of the committee.
The following is Mr.. Polkow's com
munication.:
II fail to see by what authority Mr..
King claims to represent our association
and to place it in such ridiculous light
before the representatives of our state
assembled in St. Paul. If Mr.. King had
attended our meeting in Saltwater last
September he would early have found out
the attitude of the association toward
our state highway commission which in
place of being antagonistic, as Mr.. King
has tried to make it appear, is surely Of
a friendly nature. We would not lobby
for enactment of a law which would
curtail the power Of the highway com
mission, much less to abolish same.
Mr.. King has placed the county
commissioners of the entire state before
our legislature and the public as being
ignorant of the workings of the federal
good roads act. I believe that every
county commissioner who is interested
in bettering the road conditions of our
state has long ago acquainted himself
with that very act, by which our national
government will aid the different states
OF our union in the building of good
roads under the direction of the different
state highway commissions

TRULY GREAT ARTIST
WILL BE HEARD HERE

The. Daily Oregonian of Portland,
Oregon, lavishes high praise on the
recital recently given in that city, by
Clarence Eddy, who will appear at the
DR.. Martin Luther College, here. next
Monday evening, February 9Th. The
Oregonian says:
Much curiosity and deep interest
were expressed last night by the large,
appreciative audience gathered to hear
the splendid pipe organ recital by
Clarence Eddy, the celebrated organist,
OF Chicago and New York, at the Co
lumbia Theater. It was a first-class
recital by master recital that will
live for long time pleasantly in the
recollections of all those privileged to
hear it.
"Mr. Eddy wisely chose music selec-
tions suitable to the theater building
and the capacity of the pipe organ
which is new, up-to-date instrument
Rarely during the course of the evening
did Mr.. Eddy bring out the full strength
of the pipe organ. He rather contented
himself with the production Of soft
delicate tonal effects, and charming color
contrasts.
Much Of the music selected by him
for rendition is not usually heard at
organ recitals, and is of new, rare kind,
Mr.. Eddy's pedaling was sensational in
its performance, and was artistic in every
respect. He was cordially received, and
had to repeat more than one number.
His audience included many professional
musicians, especially church organists.

FOLKS STALLED;
WHOLE AUDIENCE SMILES

s'Can the members of this audience
smile?' asked the Rev. G. G. Holm,
when he faced crowded house at the;
Methodist church last Sunday night,
a large number having gathered to listen
to the sacred concert scheduled to be
given by the Orchestra Concert Com
pany of Chicago for that evening. 81
can," added the minister, and hope
you can, because I've got confession
to make. The concert company which
we expected here tonight, is stalled at
Arlington, and only received word to
that effect late this afternoon"
The audience smiled, a good hearty
smile, and the preacher felt treasured.
Rev. E. F. Wheeler, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, had announced there
would be no services at his church and
the audience and minister had arranged
to share with their Methodist friends
the pleasure of the promised concert.
"Well, anyway" announced the Rev.
Holm, We've got a decent sized con-
gregation for once, any way Then
they smiled again.
The audience took the disappointment
smilingly, and the services of the evening
were divided between the two ministers,
Rev. Holm announcing that Rev. Wheel
er would give short talk on the growth
Of the Congregational church in this
country, which is now nearing it's Booth
anniversary. He described how the
Pilgrims came out of England, went to
Holland and in 1920 crossed the Atlantic
to the New World, and eventually es-
tablished the Congregational church,
while the Puritans, about the same time
came over and established church,
which is now the Presbyterian.
II will now leave the platform, said
Mr.. Wheeler, "and let Mr.. Holm tell
all the good things he knows about the
Methodists"
: But the latter said he was afraid that
after he had talked for an hour or two
his hearers would be so badly mixed up
on the proposition that they wouldn't
know whether they were Methodists,
Congregationalists, Baptists or what-not.
Instead he dwelt along the lines of COM
petition in the churches as we'll as in
business, and said he did not believe
consolidation of churches would be good
for the cause of religion.
II believe we are better Methodists
because we have the Congregationalists,
and other denominations; there are
better Congregationalists because of the
existence of the Methodist church; be-
blieve the Protestants are better as
whole because of the Catholic church,
and that Catholics are better because
of the Professionals. We all strive to be
better because we want to keep up with
the other fellow; it's human nature
On the whole it was profitable gather
ing and it's doubtful if there weren't a
good many there who didn't feel very
sorry because the concert company
failed to show up-and smiled.

report refers to the answers of ITO
boys and girls between the ages of
and IL, in a certain school.
The teachers asked the children to
write a theme expressing their
Thoughts, Wishes and Hopes" The
teachers wanted to see what was oc-
cupying the minds of those children.
OF the 10 children only three did
not refer to the war All the others
expressed their thought about the
war. OF these. 80 children expressed
their desire for peace, IS children
were worried about members of their
families on the battlefield, 38 thought
about che high cost of living, es-
pecially about the scarcity OF pota-
toes, butter and fat. Hopes Of vic
piness over the victories of the Ger
man army by only nine.
In spite of all the literature of
hatred imported into the public
schools, only seven children ex-
pressed any kind Of hatred toward
the enemy. The name Of that man
who is spoken of most in the schools,
the kaiser, was mentioned only once.
In spite of all the humbug about his
majesty" this shows how much the
children think about him.
This little inquiry reveals plainly
how tired they all are in Germany
of this war, and that these thoughts
are so often expressed that they pre-
occupy every mind. And when we
remember that these little children
expressed these thoughts over a year
ago-for the report is published in
Archiv fur Pedagogie Of March, 1915
we can imagine how everyone feels
today.
