We de not see any necessity for ex-
polling LaFollete from the Senate,
and perhaps it would not be good
policy. His power for harm is gone,
and in the next election the people of
Wisconsin will expel him into hope
less obscurity-Ocala Star.
We agree to all you say except that
of not seeing the necessity for ex-
pulsien. It should be done if for
nothing else but its disciplinary value
All future generations should learn by
his expulsion that in time of wal
there must be no aiding or abetting
the enemy. This is clearly defined as
treason. The. kind of aid to the en-
envy LaFollette is giving is infinitely
more insidious and dangerous than il
done openly and wit havowed purpose
His talk is reasonable and he should
be expelled from Congress. as the
first act of discipline. If this is not
then effective he should be shot. &C
after the men in high places first
The fact that his influence is waning
should not secure immunity for him

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF MOON.

A number of New Um residents re
manned up to see the total eclipse Of the
moon Sunday night. The eclipse, which
was the first OF the total kind to be en-
tirely visible here since 1910. began at
11:5O p. m. when the earth's shadow
first came in contact with it, and at i
o'clock it was entirely within the shadow.
For an hour and twenty-nine minutes
the total eclipse continued, and then it
began to leave the shadow. and not
coming into full view until about $40
Monday morning. This was the first
eclipse of the seven that are due for this
year.
This years eclipses of the sun and
moon will be the greatest possible in
any one year. There will be four
eclipses Of the sun and two more Of the
moon. Not since 1887 have SO many
occurred and not until 1882 will there
be another like occurrence.

The clothing firm of Hummel Brothers
which has been in business at IA North
Minnesota street, for nearly eighteen
years, was dissolved Wednesday, when
August Hummel purchased the entire

The business was estab, ished by the

ness with his brother, was for some time
in charge Of the William Hummel general
store, later sold to J. A. Ochs, at 4th
North Minnesota street: Before that
he was engaged in the creamery business
here and at Springfield.
In the deal just completed August
sold to his brother his interest in the
William Hummel estate, which owns
the business building at 4th North
Minnesota street and several dwellings

SPRINGFIELD MAY GET
y(5ss FAIR FROM SLEEPY EYE

b. Springfield is out after the Farmers
Club Fair which was held at Sleepy Eye
last October, and which was understood
to De regular feature for that town.
According to the Free Press meeting
was held at Springfield recently, to con-
slider making a bid for the street show
which is to be an annual affair in the
future. Nothing definite was done in
the matter, except to discuss the posi-
blllties of landing the coveted prize.
Another meeting is to be held in the near
future.
1t is understood that Redwood Falls
rs also after the fair, but as the Redwood
county fair is held there at about the
time OF the farmers fair, it is not be
lleved that town will be serious con
tender.
A meeting is to be held at Sleepy Eve
on January 1S, when it is expected the
location for the 1917 fair will be decided.

FARMERS ! | URGED 10
PLANT GOOD SEEDS 81
MILLERS MEET HERE TO PLAN
CAMPAIGN FOR IMPROVING
GRAIN n.
NEWSPAPER SPACE TO BE USED
IN ALL TOWNS TO MISSOURI
RIVER.

A campaign to induce the farmers of
this region to use the utmost care in the
selection of seed wheat for next seasons
planting has been mapped out by four
of the large mills in this territory. This
was decided at a meeting of represen-
tatives of the mills at the Commercial
Club rooms last Thursday, when the
situation was discussed with Bert Ball,
$of Chicago, secretary Of the Crop I'm
provement League. Those present at
the meeting We're: Charles Vogtel Of
the Eagle Roller Mill Company; A. C..
Dahl of the New Ulm Roller Mill Com
pany, Franklin Edwards Of the Mar
shall Milling Company, Marshall; and
Peter Bendixen of the Springfield Mill
ing Company.
Good Seed Necessary.
The danger Of the use Of poor wheat,
especially at the coming seeding, owing
to the large amount flow quality Of
grain having been harvested last season,
was discussed, and it was decided to
take steps at once to urge that special
pains be taken to induce the farmers to
secure the very best that can possibly
be had for that purpose.
Space,in some fifty newspapers, from
New Ulm to the Missouri river, on the
lines of the Northwestern and Mime
apOlis & St. Louis railroads. will be used
for that purpose. Ii
L The farmers will be induced to secure
better seed than they now have, and
where they. are unable to do this, they
will be urged to prepare that which they
have in a. better condition, that is to
take out all light and low kernels, etc. !,
The details Of the are nat h.S
hands Of Mr.. Ball, who as secretary Of
the Crop iImpr ove1nent League. is
familiar with that line of work. He. is
now preparing the advertising matter
and making arrangements for the space
to be used in the various newspapers
published at points where the mills
interested have elevators.
Danger Ahead.
There hastnever been a season when
more care should be exercised in selection
Of Seed said Mr.. Vogtel, in discussing
the proposed campaign. There is real
danger, no matter what weather con
ditions are next season, unless good seed
(! in p}anted Unless This -ic Cono novt
year we{will have as. poor wheat to con
tend with as We have had this year, For
that reason We are going to try to in
i.duce the farmers to do the best they can
along those lines. OF course all that
will be necessary to do will be to call their
attention to conditions and the danger.
We can depend on them to their utmost
| in the. matter"

LOCAL POST OFFICE
y RECEIPTS INCREASE 5000 OVER
pa 4o'o-o
- - THOSE OF PREVIOUS TWELVE 1
~ MONTHS.
PARCELS POST TRAFFIC FAST
BECOMING AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR. =.

The month of December, 1916, showed
thf> largest business transacted in the
History of the New -Ulm post office.
= There was general increase in the re-
ceipts for the year over those of 1915,
of $3,O20.23, and there were increases in
every branch ofthe business of the office,
according to the. annual report just
issued by Postmaster Fred Pfaender.
Not only was there an increase of over
$4,000 in the sale of stamps, ETC., as
noted above, but the money order bust
ness grew to the extent of $3,223.05,
while there were 2,691 more insured and
C. O. D. parcels handled than during
the year before.
Parcels Post Growing. ,..
AS there is no accurate record kept
OF the uninsured items of parcels post,
and as the percentage that are insured is
so small it is safe to say that the increased
number of parcels handled in that de-
partment was $4,000 would be very
conservative, indeed" said Mr.. Pfaender.
And it is. fact that we practically
:, handled the business at slightly less
cost than for the year before. While
there is some 5000 more in disburse-
ments for salaries, this is caused by an
automatic increase in salaries totaling
that amount. There was but very little
extra help employed, even during the
holiday rush. -.
The only decrease shown, compared
with previous years, was that of the
foreign money order business, which is
owing, Of course, to the war in Europe.

START IN
A CITY HALL MOVE
COMMITTEE is APPOINTED TO
CIRCULATE PETITION FOR
ELECTION.
ORGANIZATION REFLECTS ITS
OLD OFFICERS AT ANNUAL
MEETING.

The first concrete move toward the
erection OF City Hall for this city was
made by the New Ulm Fire Department
at its annual naaassiin NJ enday even;aa
when a committee was appointed to
circulate petitions for an election to issue
bonds to provide funds for the proposed
building. A committee was also APP
pointed to confer with the City Attorney
relative to preparing the proper petitions
and such other matters as may be necess
sary to make their actions legal.
The frenlen have long argued for "a
building that would properly house the
fire apparatus, provide for the various
Lefty offices and for such other room as
is necessary. There are few cities the
/ size Of New Ulrh that are not thus pro-
vided, and this city's need in that direc-
ton becomes more apparent each year.
| City Owns the Site
The city already owns the necessary
property on which to. build. It is at
present occupied by the City Clerks
office, the small and inadequate fire hall,
together with the lot adjoining on the
north.
The petitions will be circulated at
once, and presented to the City Council
with the intention Of securing the election
at the time of the spring election next
April.
The question Of a City Hall has been
discussed at various times, usually at the
hremen's annual banquets, and then
allowed to drop until the next dinner
given by the fremen. Now, however,
it has been decided to take the "bull by
1.-THE horns" and let the citizens show their
hand, and let it be known whether they
really mean what they say, when ad-
vocating this decidedly necessary i'm
provement.
Officers Elected.
The department reelected the follow
ing officers just before the City Hall
question was taken up:
President Charles Brust.
Vice President Charles Stoll.
Secretary ALI. Schroeck.
Treasurer Emil Wicherski.
Banner Bearer Fred. Loesch.
Color Guards Paul Wandersee, Fred
Brust. r
The several companies then elected the
following officers:
+ Hose Co. No. Il Captain, Frank Me
mann. lieutenant, Alois Gulden.
Hose Co. No. Captain, Fred
Loesch; lieutenant, ALI. Nagel.
Hook and Ladder Co. Captain, ALI.
lSchroeck; 1st. Lieutenant, Henry Groeb-
ner; End lieutenant, John Haeberle.

lieutenant, John Schapekahm.
Police CO.. Captain, Charles Brust;
lieutenant, Herman Nagel.
The report Of the secretary showed the
following financial result of the Firemen's
I Annual Ball, given at Turner Hall, on
New Years Eve: Received from tickets
sold, $274.50; expense; sl34.50; net
. profit, $40.
