led to the attention OF the local Red
Cross organization that others than
those authorized have been soliciting
funds and membership. In order that
there may be no soliciting done for
selfish or personal purposes the or
ganization has decided to establish
their department on a strictly business
basis and hereafter no one but those
with the proper credentials and wear

permitted to make collection of mem

can be readily seen where the other
practice could be put to improper use
and the public is warned not TO donate

carrying the proper credentials
While there is absolutely no danger
of local people carrying on such a ne

possibility of strangers working that

of the local workers in the nable

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to any
corn. the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, rot and all, lifts OUT
with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that a
quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores. but is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit.-Adv.

COMMISSIONER OPPOSED
TO REBUILDING BRIDGE

One of the commissioners of Nicollet
county is opposed to rebuilding the
bridge recently washed away by the
high water a few weeks ago, at Golden
Gate. The bridge, known locally as
the Cummings bridge, was located a
the point called Cummings ferry, and
was about twenty years old, but lin
fairly good condition when destroyed
by the high water. The Nicollet county
commissioner is said to be in favor of
locating the bridge two miles farther
upstream, on the ground that the bust
ness men of Fairfax and the farmers of
that vicinity are in favor of the change.
This the Fairfax Standard says is I'M
true, but prefer that it be rebuilt on the
site of the old bridge. While Fairfax
is located in Renville county, and has no
financial interests in the bridge, it is
really local proposition for the people
OF that village, aslit affords them the most
direct road to this city and other parts
OF Brown county.
The bridge connects two state roads
and is an absolute necessity at the point
where it originally stood.

REAL MONEY is DERIVED
FROM 100 HIVES OF BEES

An expert in the bee industry, con-
nected with the Minnesota Agricultural
college at st. Paul, is authority for the
statement that 100 hives of bees are
worth as much or more than an 80-acre
farm. For capital and labor required,
he says, bees are far the greatest money
makers enc can keep on the farm.
One hundred pounds is fair average
production under good management of
the bee yard. At this rate 100 hives
would produce 10000 pounds of honey
in one year. This at 10 cents a pound,
would give return of $1,000 for one
year. --rr
None of this has to be used to pay
for feed for the bees for all their food
and honey comes from the flowers of
the roadsides, woods, and meadows.
Further, little or no rent is required
for the land, for the beehives can be
placed along roadsides and in meadows
where the bees have food at their very
doors.
If yard is needed for the bees,
quarter of an acre is more than enough
for 100 hives. This should cost $3.50
rent.
The only large expense is for equip
ment such as hives and supers, and this
equipment will last lifetime. It can
be supplied for $500. This means
yearly charge of only about SIS. The
bees can be obtained free by catching
swarm in the summer. Then by the
use of purebreed Italian queens, OBJ
tainable at the University Farm for SO
cents each, these swarms can be multi
piled into pure bred apiary.
The total annual cost of the bees for
one year then is less than $40 exclusive
Of labor. The. actual labor required is
worth 1874 at the rate of $500 per year,

SALTWATER BUTTON WORKS
TO GET CLAM SHELLS HERE

W. K. Kaiser, manager of the St.
Croix Pearl Button company of Still
water has been in the city for several
days, arranging for the purchase of the
greater part of the clam shells to be
gathered at this point during the coming
season. According to Mr.. Kaiser the
shells to be taken out of the river here
this year will go to Saltwater instead of
Muscatine, Iowa, as has been the case
in the past.
Mr.. Kaiser says that his firm will buv
about $4,000 worth of shells here, or
fifty car loads, be taken from the river
at this place. This is about the amount
that was shipped from New Ulm last
year, but the most of them went to the
factories at Muscatine. There are more
diggers expected to be engaged in the
work along the river here this season.
and those not taken by the Saltwater
concern will probably go to Muscatine.
Clam digging has already begun.

but it will not be in full blast until tho
water in the Minnesota river has sub
sided considerably more than at present
1t is said that the old diggers here are
not hampered by the high water verv
much, as they know the location of the
beds and are able to find them without
much trouble. With the new-con,ors
however, it is different, and they will be
obliged to wait for the water to become
more shallow before they can make

for only one-third of the time of one
man is needed, according to Mr.. lager,
who finds that one man can easily care
for 300 hives. This leaves net profit
of $S46 for one year.
The 160-acre farms of Minnesota pro-
duce on an average, according to 1910
census reports, a labor income of $3.50
year.

IMPORTED ALFALFA
SEED IS DELUSl0N
FARMERS ARE OFTEN FOOLED
BY GRAIN COMING ACROSS
PACIFIC
TURKESTAN PRODUCT CALLED
INFERIOR TO THE AMERI-
CAN GROWN

FARMERS VINO BUY ana plant CONNER
cial Turkestan alfalfa seed are being
swindled, according to statement re-
ceived by The Review from the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
seed is not adapted to general use in the
United States, the statement says.
Many farmers SOW it, thinking they are
using American grown seed, but under
most conditions it is decidedly inferior
to the strains grown in this country.
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed
formerly came to this country thru
Europe, but since the beginning of the
war it has been imported into the United
States by the way of Vladovostok and the
Pacific ocean. Since July 1, 1916, two
and one-half million pounds have been
imported, or enough to seed $4,000
acres.
Poor Seed Easily Detected
The following statement shows how
the imported seed is regarded by the ex-
perts of the department:
Generally speaking, Commercial
Turkestan alfalfa has proved to be in
ferior to the American-grown strains in
nearly every case where comparative
tests have been conducted. In the
eastern half of the United States, where
alfalfa seed is not produced in CONNER
cial quantities, imported seed was used
almost exclusively until within the past
few years. Of the several million
pounds of alfalfa seed that have been
imported annually, approximately IS
per cent came from Turkestan. The
fact is responsible for many of the
failures that occurred with alfalfa in the
Eastern States. In brief, the Com
mercial Turkestan alfalfa yields less
than the American-grown strains, is
shorter lived, and is less hardy than the
Grimm, Baltic, and Canadian Varie-
gated. It is therefore not desirable
Variety.
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed
can be readily distinguished from that
OF other strains by the presence of seeds
of Russian knapweed.
Can't Be Renewed
The latter are slightly larger than
alfalfa seeds and cannot be entirely
removed by any known method of re-
cleaning. Their chalky7white color
makes them especially conspicuous, and
their symmetrical form, being slightly
wedge shaped, serves to distinguish
them from the notched seed of other
similar weeds, which often occur in
Italian and other alfalfa seed. AS the
seeds of Russian knapweed are not
usually abundant, small trade sample
should never be used to determine
whether the seed is Commercial Turke-
stan alfalfa. It may happen that a
number of small samples, such as are
usually supplied by the trade, contain
none of these seeds, while an examina-
ton of the bulk will show them to be
present. If any seeds of Russian knap-
weed occur, the alfalfa seed is wholly
or in part from Turkestan.
The seed laboratory of the Bureau of
Plant industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, will
examine half-pound samples to deter
mine their possible Russian Turkestap
origin, or small samples of imported
seed containing the characteristic seeds
of Russian knapweed will be sent on
request.

johnson Notes Difference.
Fred Johnson's address varied some
what from hat of the previous speaker,
as besides a number Of humorous re-
marks at the expense of Mr.. Dempsey
and others, he gave those present bit
of advice on what could be done to i'm
prove New Ulm. Referring to conditions
now and in the long ago, he said that
when he first lived in New Ulm one
would hardly have dared to place two
Irishmen as chief speakers at an affair
similar to the present one.
Nolan Delights Audience.
After the male quartet had sung a
couple more appropriate selections, the
POSTMASTER introduced Hon. w. I.
Nolan of Minneapolis. The speaker,
who has represented one of the Mime
apolis districts in the legislature for many
yea s, defended that body by declaring
that the members did the best't they could
for their constituents, and if there were
too much "pork barrel'' legislation it
was the people themselves who were to
blame.
He told many wit y stories of the
various nationalities who come to these
shores to make their homes and their
fortunes.
Mr.. Nolan mixed his wit and humor
with some timely advice to the citizens
of New Ulm on how to make bigger and
better city. He pointed as an example
to what had been accomplished at Water
loo, Iowa, which by untiring team work,
had been transformed from struggling
country village, with less than one
fourth of the natural advantages pos
sessed by this city, into one of the best
manufacturing and among the most
prosperous towns in the Hawkeye state.
He said this was brought about by every
man, women and child in the town
boosting for Waterloo. He also pointed
out what enthusiasm would do by re-
ferring to the city of Los Angeles, Cal.,
which was started wholly on enthusiasm,
and thru enthusiasm alone had grown
to be a city of nearly 100000 inhabitants.
The speaker declared hat the average
Ameri an is too prone to follow only the
beaten paths, followed by others. An
an Illustration of VIII he meant he re-
cited poem which he called the Calf
Path.
Mr.. Nolan said that if New Ulm would
get out of the "calf PATH and with an
organization like the Commercial Club,
this city could easily outstrip anything
in Southern Minnesota in the line OF city
building.
The entertainment committee, ciom-
posed of the following: A. J. Vogel,
chairman; F. C. Fisher, w. A. Pfefferle,
F. j. Armstrong, Carl F. Crone and H.
G. Bingham, is entitled the credit for the
success of the banquet. Each member of
the committee worked faithfully and did
his share toward the outcome which was
so satisfactory to the club and those who
attended the dinner.
