BOYS SHOULD BE KEPT
ON FARM IN WAR TIME

A: F. Woods, dean of the Minnesota
College Of Agriculture, advises that the
boys Of this state should be kept on the
farms during the war. He has made this
fact plain in letter recently addressed
to Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist.
The boys Of Minnesota should be
modified for farm labor this spring and
summer" says Dean Woods. Il want
to very heartily second the suggestion
made by Hughes that some state system
of mobilizing and registering available
farm labor should be put into immediate
operation. Under normal conditions
we are short of farm labor in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and under the present
conditions the shortage will be intensi-
fed. There must be considerable in.
crease in crop acreage. Probably the
heaviest demand will come during
harvest. We must see to it that the
labor is available, and this can be ac-
complished only thru some system of
registration. of labor needs and SUPPLY
On the the other hand Superintendent
Schulz of the State Educational De-
partment would have the school boys
enlist and sent to war.

NO UNIVERSITY WEEK
FOR NEW ULM THIS YEAR

4 -
There will be no University Week pro-
gram IN New Ulm this summer as had
been planned. The war is responsible for
the omission of the proposed affair, be
cause practically all of the young people
at the University of Minnesota who had
been engaged are drilling for military
service.
Rev. G. G. Holm received information
to this effect the latter part Of last week,
informing him of the cancellation of all
dates that had been made. The Univer-
sity authorities, in their communication
said all of,the male talent may be called
out by the War Department at any time
and it is impossible, under existing cir
cumstances, to secure others to take
their places.
The members of the local committee
having the affair in charge are greatly
disappointed as the support promised
for this summer is much larger than was
the case a year ago.
8 Last summers University Week was
the most enjoyable event Of the year
and there is much disappointment ex-
pressed by the citizens in general, be-
cause of the failure of a repetition this
year. However, there is not much
surprise that it is so, under the existing
conditions.

DR. AFT SYSTEM IS
PURE NIL TARISM
AMERICAN UNION IS MAKING
EARNEST EFFORT AGAINST
CONSUMPTION

The American Union Against Mill
tarism of Washington, D. c.. has
promulgated number of unanswerable
reasons why the draft system should not
be inaugurated in the United States.
The following issa recent contribution
along those lines:
They are telling Congress we must
draft a million men to fight in the
trenches of France and Russia.
Is our cause so weak that we cannot
trust our men to volunteer to fight fort?
Canada has not dared to draft men
for service abroad. Neither has Aus
tralia. Even Germany has law for
bidding the war department to compel
men to serve overseas.
Canada; with populationsless than
that of New York state has raised
400, 900 volunteers. Australia, with a
population less than that Of Illinois, has
raised 1000 volunteers to fight in a
war 10000 miles from home. 81
Volunteers Win Battles
ct was the Canadian volunteers
that won the second battle of Ypres, one
of the most, critical battles of the war.
It was English volunteers that drove
back the Germans on the Somme.
Col. F. N. Maude of the English
army says it is a well known fact in Eur
ope that the conscript army is weak,
because the men are too young for
solidarity and are more likely to be
broken down by sickness and panic
than when they serve alongside of
older men.
Draft Always A Failure
"The draft has always been failure
in this country. The attempt to draft
men in the Civil War caused riot and
bloodshed and, according to the report
of the Secretary of War, produced only
2.3 per cent. of the total troops raised.
The volunteer army is as American
as the volunteer Fire Department. Shall
we give up the American system in
favor of the European?"

BRB WING INDUSTRY
PROFIT 70 NATION.
FALSE STATEMENTS MADE BY
THOSE SEEKING TO BRING
PROHIBITION

statement has lately been made that
the brewing and distilling interests
use annually 618, sos, O95 bushels Of
grain. This is not true. The statement
is prohibition dodge" pure and simple
designed to manufacture war prohibi-
ton sentiment. II: q. t.,l 80
The brewing industry used last year
5000, 200 bushels of barley, II 900 900
bushels of corn and 100000 bushels
of rice. OF this amount fully fifty
per cent went back to the farmer for
cattle food in the form of dried grains and
by products.
The revenue derived by the Federal
government from fermented liquors for
the same period amounted to $79, $685.
946.72 or 1905 per cent Of the total
amount Of internal revenue collected
for the year 1915.
Statements Exaggerated
The distilling interests used approx
mately 5O,OOO,OOO bushels OF grain, SO
that the total amount of grain used by
the brewing and dlstilling interests does
not exceed 100, 100000 bushels and from
this was produced not only the drinkable
beverages but also all spirits and alco-
hol used for scientific and medicinal
purposes, which is estimated at twenty
per cent. In other words, it is estimated
that twenty per cent of the grain used
for brewing and distilling interests is
required to produce the alsochol and
spirits used for scientific and medicinal
purposes. What has been said of dried
grains for food purposes, applies with
equal force to the distilling industry.
Fully fifty per cent of the grains required
for distilling purposes goes back for
cattle food in the form of dried grains
and by-products.
Should Consider Revenues
While the item of revenue may not
be considered as controlling, in the
present exigencies, it is one which should
be considered. The total receipts from
all sources of internal revenue for the
year ending June 80, 1915, amounted,
to be exact, to $415, 669, $3.50 and the
total collections from fermented liquors
Tor the same period amounted to
$40 ,328, 946.72. The revenue derived
from the tax on distilled liquors and
fermented liquors amounts, in the ag-
gregate, to more than $266, 900, 900 or
more than one half of the total receipts
from all sources of internal revenue.

sHRINERS ABANDON BIG
CONCLAVE AT MILL CITY

The Ancient Arabic Order of the Mys-
tic Shrine will not hold it's big national
conclave at Minneapolis this year, as
had been planned, and for which the
Schriners of that city raised 100000
about year ago. The date set for
the meeting was June rs and would
have lasted a week. All of the members
OF the order in New Ulm and around
about had planned on attending the
big meeting.
Abandoning this years meeting was
decided on at a meeting of the executive
officers, together with number of Mill
City members at St. Louis Sunday after
noon. A business meeting at which
some $4,000 members will be present is
to be held.
More than 10000 Potentates were
expected in the Twin Cities for the con-
clave in June, had it been held.

A TRIP TO NORWAY.

! c.. G.. Woodmansee thinks he has
surely secured a film that will meet with
the approval of New Ulm censors and
he feels that his efforts will certainly
be appreciated, as they should be- The
picture he has secured on which he ex-
poets to secure approval is "a Trip To
Norway and will be shown Friday,
April ~, with a special ma inee for
school children. The film is highly COM
mended by all the large city papers as
it was shown at the Metropolitan in
both Minneapolis and ST. Paul. It is
up to the picture-loving public of New
Ulm to prove to Mr.. Woodmansee that
they mean what they say about wanting
this class of pictures. The following
extract from the Minneapolis Tribune will
give some idea of the kind of picture it Isl:
It must have been better than aletter
from home to the Norwegians who wit
messed the pictures of Christiania last
night at the Metropolitan, if the amount
of applause is any indication. The Hol-
menkollen, where the ski-jumping con-
tests were staged, is familiar landmark
of the city according to man who sat
next to me, and who has been only few
years in this country. He was one Of
the most eager Of the applauders, and
was as excited as 10-year-old every
time he could indemnity something.
Some people include gymnastic exer-
cises under the head of sports; the
present writer does not. With the Nor
wegians they are nearer coming under
the head of art. There never was a
finer sight than the $50 gymnasts per-
forming in such perfect accord that it.
seemed as if they were manikins under
the control Of single mind. The women
performers were clever, too, but not
capable of the perfect accord achieved by
the men.
While the applauding mood was upon
them, the spectators were moved to
clap at other than simply familiar things.
There was a picture of the entrance to
a tunnel where the tracks were knee
deep in snow. A spontaneous outburst
was provoked when a train, the engine.
OF which was equipped with snow pillow,
dashed out of the tunnel and sprayed the
snow outward like water from the prov
OF q speeding motorboat. This and
many other excellent snow pictures, which
included herds of reindeer Just like
Bonner and Bitten in "The Night Be
fore Christmas gave distinctly
Christmassy and frosty atmosphere to
parts Of the film.
The film furnishes so many pictures
OF sporting events, with exceptionally
good diving, skating and skiing views,
that it cannot fail to entertain. One is
a trife disappointed that the part of It
which is Enthusiastically Norwegian is
somewhat redeemed by the countless
close up and crowd views of just plain
everyday folks, which gives an excellent
opportunity to see what Norwegians are
like in Norway.
