society the New Ulm organization
should be the central headquarters for
Brown county, but local jealousy at
Springfield and Sleepy Eye caused a few
in those villages to balk, and as a result,
by the consent of the officers here, they
have been allowed to organize in
dependently.
The suggestion that a store window
be secured in which could be placed a
display of the goods being manufactured
by the ladies Of the chapter, brought
out the offer of G. A. Ottomeyer of the
best window in his store for that purpose.
His announcement was heartily ap-
plauded.
Work For Civilian Relief.
Chairman Johnson discussed at
length the Civilian Relief feature of the
Red Cross, explaining that should the
war continue for great length of time
there will be great deal of need for the
care and looking out for the suffering of
those who are left at home by the man
at the front. Also there will be large
number of men wounded in battle or
otherwise incapacited and invalided
home, who will have to be cared for, and
this will come under the direction of the
Red Cross. All the money disposed of
by the government for the care of these
men or their families will be handled
thru the Red Cross Civilian Relief COM
mittee. Mr.. Johnson said he had been
considering the names of several men
whom he thought would be the proper
ones to handle that work, but had felt
somewhat reluctant about asking them
to serve, realizing that it meant an end
less amount of labor and the sacrificing
a great deal of time. Two of the men,
whom he had under consideration, he
said, were present, and asked H. w.
Beecher and A. G. Meile if they would
serve on that committee. Both answered
that they would be glad to do so. Other
mem bers of the committee will be named
within few days.
