stration agents to the contrary,
Flat and shallow cultivation is the
only protection the farmer has
against a drouth. 1t is not too late
now to get the benefit of flat and
shallow cultivation for this year
for those who will begin now. Use
side harrows, the spring-tooth har-
row and the geewhiz, and let the
cultivation be not over two inches
deep. This will crumble the dirt
and make it loose, and continued
cultivation this way will give you a
coat of dust on top Of the ground
This will hold the moisture in the
ground. The sun cannot evaporate
it through the dust. If you throw
up deep, fresh plowed ridges the
sun will evaporate all the moisture
and none will be left for the plants
If you will leave it where it is and
scratch it on top and make a dust
blanket the moisture will stay down
in the ground where the roots can
reach it and get it.
1t may be that you broke the
ground so shallow that you feel like
you ought to let your plow down
and loosen up the ground 81 the
roots can get about. If so, you
made a mistake in not breaking
your ground deep enough in the
first place. However, do not make
two mistakes by plowing deep now
and throwing up a ridge to the row
and taking the dirt away from the
roots in the middles. Remember
that the plants must have food the
same as you, and that they take
all their food in liquid form, 1t is
the ends of the roots that take in
the food, through moisture, and the
ends of the roots are continually
pushing out in the middles. Re-
member, too, that if you put your
plow down deep next to the row
you are going to break off a lot OF
the little roots that are drawing the
moisture and feeding the plants.
Prepare for dry weather by plow-
ing shallow and often. Don't allow
a crust to form on the soil. When
it does the sun will draw out the
moisture and starve the plant
Don't quit your crop too soon. Cul-
tivate your crop as long as you can
without damage to it. When the
plants are putting on fruit they
need all the food and care they can
get. When you fatten hogs you do
not put them up and feed them I'M
til they are in good order and then
turn them out to Oct fat, but you
keep on feeding all they will eat,
because you know when they are
in good condition they will put on
flesh faster Treat your crops the
same way. 1t will pay you.

HELD AND HAEBERLE BUY -
NAGEL TRANSFER BUSINESS

Monday morning ALT. G. Nagel, who
has been in the general transfer business
for the past thirteen years, turned the
property over to Herman Held and
Elmer Haeberle, who purchased Mr..
Nageps interest last week. The deal
by which Held and Haeberle came into
possession of the business involved the
transfer of Mr.. Nagels residence, a
number of wagons, an auto truck and
fourteen horses, and Mr.. Nagel took
over the residence now occupied by
George Bromley. The object of the
purchase by Held and Haeberle was that
they wished to extend their business,
which to this time has been confined to
the ice business as owners of the New
Ulm Ice Company. They made Mr..
Nagel an offer which he accepted. The
business was established by Herman
Nagel about thirty-seven years ago,
since which time it has been in the Nagel
family In 1904 he transferred the bust
ness to his son, who has now disposed of
it. Mr.. Nagel is yet undecided as to the
future, but expects to engage in some
other line soon.

F1REMEN BUY AUTO-TRUCK

The fremen of Morris became tired of
wheeling the old hose cart around by
hand, and have made arrangements to
buy an up-to-date auto fire truck,
costing $1,000. They took the money
out of the Firemens' Relief Fund, and
the city dads didn't have to put up a
cent. The ''only fly in the ointment, .
however, according to the Tribune, is that
they will have to keep the new machine
in an old rattletrap Of a fire engine
house. They are invited to bring it over
and keep it in the brand new fire hall that
New Ulm is going to have.

DRAINAGE BILL IS
HELD TO BE BEST
"'~-RRESIDENT OF FLOOD CONTROL.
ASSOCIATION TALKS OF THE
WORK DONE.
AUTHORS OF BILL HAVE SAME
INTERESTS AT STAKE AS
OPPONENTS.

""It is somewhat discouraging, after
we have worked so hard to bring about
some relief for the control of the disas-
trous floods that yearly cause thousands
of dollars damage, and now when success
is practically assured that a few dis
grnutled ones should try to defeat our
efforts" said A. B. Kaercher, president
of the Tri-State Flood Control Asso-
citation, who was in the city a few days
ago discussing the situation in the
Minnesota Valley.
Mr.. Kaercher was just returning from
st. Paul, where hearing on the flood
control bill had been held before a legis-
latvie committee, which had met some
opposition from a number of farmers
living In the vicinity of Morton.
Work Too Local
CAS- nearly every one in the valley
knows continued Mr.. Kaercher, CDR.
Fritsche, myself and number of others
y have worked constantly and faithfully
fNr some ten or twelve years for some
means to control the floods of this valley.
Last fall it became apparent that we
had been working too locally, and that
if anything was to be accomplished we
must enlarge our plans and bring in
more territory. After considerable eff
fort we got our fellow sufferers in the
Red River valley interested, and at my
suggestion, meeting was called at
Fargo, which was held in November.
That meeting, as probably all of your
readers know, was attended by the
Governors of North and South Dakota,
while Goverlibr Burnquist was repre-
sented by Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith. There were present several
Congressman, United States Senators
and members of the legislatures of all
three states, and all of them endorsed
the plan of flood control by the reservoir
system, which has also been declared
the most feasible means by several
United States engineers.
~wThere is but little use for me to go
btto detail as to the plans for the re-
f5ervior system. 1t has been explained
time and again, and was given a thoro
discussion at various times, and especially
at the conference held in New Uim on
January 10, last.
"After the Fargo meeting, at which I
was elected president of the association,
F. L. Cliff, an attorney of Ortonville,
whom I have known for years, acknowl-
edged to be one of the best lawyers in
Minnesota, and who is personally in

chairman of the legislative committee,

PIPES AND CIGARS
SOON QUIT KANSAS!
SUNFLOWER STATE STARTS A
MOVEMENT TO DRIVE OUT
SMOKERS.
LOVERS OF WEED WILL HAVE
HARD TIME ENJOY LIFE
THERE.

Poor old Kansas has got another
notion. She is going to put ban on
smoking. And when Kansas goes after
anything it sometimes gets it. Don't
you dare pollute the atmosphere of
Kansas with your vile cigars and your
dirty pipes. And as for those coffin
NAILS -self-rolled or factory. made
they are an abomination on the soil of
Bleeding Kansas" and in the sight of
Kansans. The same men who made
Kansas the prohibition capital of the
United States are now going after the
''weed' in every shape.
Introduces Bill.
Representative O. P. Jewett of Dighton,
Kansas, has just introduced a bill in
the legislature of that state to Danish
tobacco. The Kansas mind has decreed
that tobacco is wrong. And when the
Kansas mind DEGREES that any particular
thing is wrong, there is never a COM
promise. Kansas keeps hammering a.
way until that Objectionable thing is
eradicated. Kansas started after pro-
hibition thirty-ive years ago. Since
then it has enacted 1900 laws and reso-
lutions to get prohibition enforced. And
still the legislative mill continues to grind
out prohibition laws and resolutions. So,
while some smokers laugh at the new
anti-smoking bill, others, remembering
the tenacity with which Kansas sticks to
its sumptuary ideas, are inclined to fear
that sooner or later the anti-smoking bill
will be hammered thru some legislature
and will become the law of the state.
The Jewett anti-smoking bill is very
sweeping in it's provisions. If you
happen to be bachelor and can go down
to the Club" which, by the way, must
have special room for smoking and, yes,
the name smoking room" must be on the
door, you can escape it's provisions. And
if you are a married man without any
"encumbrances,' you can smoke to your
hearts content provided you stay with
in your own doors. But if you happen
to be one of those home-loving fellows
who, after hard days work, like to spend
their evenings home with wife and
children and pipe or cigar, you are in
trouble, if this bill goes thru. You can't
smoke if there are any children in the
house and that's all there is about, if.
Can't Smoke in Street.
And you cannot smoke out in the street,
no matter who you are. Nor can you
smoke in the caboose of freight train.
In fact, you can't smoke on train of
any sort, street car, a taxi, an omnibus,
a public park, or any other public place,
ner in "any room or buildings where
children are kept" And if you do you
will be fined from ten to twenty-five
dollars. And furthermore, if the Gus
todian of building, or Waterman, or
a policeman, sees you smoking and fails
to arrest you, he is subject to the same
fine as is the smoker.
After the anti-smoking bill becomes a
law in Kansas, it is the intention of it's
hackers to spread the doctrine into other
states, they say.
So, look out, you smokers, Kansas is
after you.

I'LL LUCK CAUSES
SUICIDE ATTEMPT
DICOURAGED MANKATO MAN IN
NEW ULM HOSPITAL BADLY
WOUNDED
FAILURE OF ABILITY TO SUP
PORT FAMILY GIVEN AS HIS
REASON

After writing note in which he told
of his financial troubles, and his dis
couragements, Anton Vogt, of Mankato
attempted to commit suicide in this city
last Friday night. Vogt entered Esser's
saloon about twenty minutes before
closing time, passed thru the room into
the toilet at the rear of the building,
where he stabbed himself seven times
in the left breast, each of the cuts Just
missing the heart. 49,.
Found By Travelling Man
He was discovered by travelling man
who happened into the toilet only a
moment after the unfortunate man had
attempted to take his life. He i'm
mediately gave an alarm and the police
were notified. A physician was called,
the flow of blood stopped, and the man
taken to Loretto Hospital, where he is
said to be recovering. He has a wife
and four children living at Mankato
who are said to be in destitute circum-
stances. ...-
In. Vogt's pocket was found a note
evidently written only a short time be-
fore he attempted to kill himself. In
this letter he related the troubles that
had beset him during the past few months
in which he had been unable to earn
enough to keep starvation from his wife
and children, He is tailor by trade,
but for some reason he had been buffeted
about from one poor job to another,
earning but little and then beaten out
OF his money, until he declared that he
was unable 70 supply food for family.
Well Known Here
Vogt, who is deaf and dumb, is quite
we'll known in this vicinity, and especially
at Sleepy Eye, where he formerly lived.
He is said by those who know him, to
be an honest and hard working man,
about 48 years old, but that fate seems
to have been playing him false.
Beyond the statement written before
committing the act, Vogt has so far failed
to give any further details of his troubles
that caused him to wish to make wav
with himself.
