THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.
Do not look on your work as dull
duty.
If you choose you can make it in

Throw your heart into it, master it's
meaning, trace out thecausesandpre-
meaning, trace out the causes and
previous history, consider it in all its
bearing, think how many even the
humblest labor may benefit, and there
is scarcely one of our duties which we
may not look to with enthusiasm.
You will get 10 love your work, and
if you do it WIZ delight you will do
it with ease
Even if at last you find this i'm

OLD GLORY FLOATS
OVER SCHOOL HOUSE
Grand Army Women Present Hand
some Flag to Lincoln
School.

The Ladies Circle of Hecker Post O.
the Grand Army of the Republic has
purchased flag for the Lincoln schoo
OF New Ulm. It was presented on Mon.
day afternoon, with appropriate and
patriotic services, in which members Of
the G: A. R., the Ladies Circle, the super.
lntendent of the public schools and the
children and teachers participated. The
exercises took place in the building. ali
OF the grades Of the school being as
sembled.
The members of the Post marched to
the school in a body, with "Old Glory
proudly borne before them.
The program opened with the singing
OF my Country IT'S of Thee" which
was followed by recitation, my Flag, .
by Mrs. John Schapekahm. The hand
some new flag, 4 by feet in size, was
then formally presented by the ladies,
With Mrs. Otto Heymann making the
presentation, in words fitting to the
occasion, and the acceptance was spoken
IN behalf of the school by Miss Freda
Maurer. All then joined, standing, in
singing ."The Star Spangled Banner.''
Superintendent Hess spoke to the
children of the principles for which the
flag stands, and said that this is fitting
time tor every one to pay this tribute to
their country, and too in school named
Tor our greatest man-Lincoln.
Then the children sang one of their
school songs, There Are Many Flags in
Many Lands" with a spirit that showed
they believed there is none like their own
red, white and blue.
Jacob Klossner, Jr., commander of
Hecker Post, told the children what the
flag stands for, and how the words,
Hecker Post, No. 48, on their banner
distinguished it from all other flags, and
what IS expected of Standard Bearer.
He said this flag is the emblem of our
country; it stands for the pledge of every
citizen; it should hold us together, and
we should be all of one mind, for Omitted
we stand, divided we fall"
Flag of Our Country was sung by
the school.
The ceremonies were concluded on the
lawn. Everybody took part in the ap-
plause as the beautiful new flag was un-
turied by Professor Hess, the children
giving the flag salute.
A steel flagstaff, forty feet high, has
been bought and will be raised on the
school grounds within short time. A
similar staff has been purchased for the
eastprlmary school.

SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES ALONG
RIGHT-OF-WAY AVAILABLE

The Chicago & Northwestern railway
is advising it's employees to plant gardens
along the roads right-of-way, and divi-
sion superintendent have been instruct
ed to urge employees in every capacity
where they are situated so this will be
possible to cultivate the land along the
road to the utmost. The following
circular letter has been sent to the
superintendent by the general manager:
Available For Gardens
with living expenses constantly
rising you should, when consistent, en-
courage section foremen, agents or
others, to utilize available pieces of
right-of-way, that can be used without
disadvantage or Inconvenience to the
company, for raising products for the
maintainance of such employees and their
families. This practice exists to some
extent, and it would seem advisable to
extend it further reasonably"
The railway company will also give
advice regarding the planting and cul-
ture OF such gardens, especially with
respect to what vegetables are best
raised IN various localities, requesting
that special attention be given to the
raising of potatoes, cabbage, carrots,

Is For All Glasses
The Northwestern railway has over
10000 miles of road, which runs thru
the best agricultural country in America.
Allowing twenty-five feet on each side
OF the railway for farming and gardening
purposes, it is estimated that if all the
ground available by the company's
offer should be planted by EMPLOYEES. it
would comprise $4,000 acres. The
number of employees who will probably
take advantage of the companys offer,
to help keep pace with the steadily in
creaslng cost Of foodstuffs is expected to
represent, small army consisting of all
classes, from the section men residing
along the line, to the officials living at
the division points.

NOW HEADS ..,t.
MILITARY COMPANY
Adjutant of Co. "a" Promoted
to Captaincy BY Colonel
Mollison.

Lieutenant Adolph Kause on Monday
morning received his commission as
Captain of Company A, M. N. G., and
Is now in absolute command of the COM
'pany. His appointment came from
Colonel Molllson, who week ago placed
Klause, who was then first lieutenant of
the company, in temporary command,
following the resignation of Captain
Groebner. 1t was understood at that
time by Lieutenant Klause that his
official appointment would follow.
Military Laws Changed.
A change in the state military laws
has made change in the selection of
line officers. Instead of electing the
captain and ieutenants of National
Guard companies they are appointed by
the commanding officer of the regiment.
With the promotion of Lieutenant
Klause to be captain, and the resignation
OF Lieutenant Alfred Pullman, which
was forwarded to Colonel Mollison when
Captain Groebner resigned, there are
vacancies of both first and second lieu
tenants in Company A. Captain Klause
said yesterday he had not yet recon-
mended any one for either vacancy, but
would probably do so before long.
Recruiting Work Progressing.
Captain Klause is making special
efforts toward recruiting for the COM
pany, but so far without a great deal of
success. A mass meeting is being dis
cussed to work up a little more en-
thusiasm and one will probably be called
within short time.
Many of the former members of the
company have expressed the opinion
that the general apathy in Company A
IS caused by the trouble among the
regimental officers, some even doubling
II there will be much doing unless Colonel
Mollison and Major Duane both step out.
Home Guard Organized.
L. G. Vogel, who has been organizing
a. Home Guard for this city, has secured
sixty-one members, ranging in ages from
As to IS, list of which he has forwarded
to Major Setback at St. Paul. As soon
as the necessary papers arrive Mr.. Vogel
will call meeting of the members when
officers will be elected.
Mr.. Vogel says great interest was
taken by those approached on the subject,
and he had no difficulty in securing the
membership. The guard is made up
largely of Spanish-American war veter-
ans, former National Guard members
and few Civil war veterans.

SENIORS PRESENT
A PLEASING PLAY
ROSE o. PLYMOUTH TOWN. IS
GIVEN TO LARGE AUDIENCE
WEDNESDAY,.
STUDENTS PERFORM LIKE SEAS
ONED ACTORS AT TURNER
THEATER.

One OF those pretty wholesome pleasing
plays with not single doubtful line in #
was the Crosse O Plymouth Town. given
by the Senior Class of the New Ulm Hioh
School at Turner Hall last Wednesday
evening. The cast was small and the
work OF the actors was naturally more
finished than it could have been had the
play called for large number of Young
people to take the different roles. There
were but eight characters and cverv part
was handled in most satisfactory man
ner and while it seems a little too bad
that so few of the members of the Senior
Class took part the result was without
doubt more finished and pleasing to the
audience than might have been in the
case with large cast.
The play was eminently suited for the
purpose and the young people were we'll
fitted by nature and personality for the
roles they played. Certainly there could
have been no lovelier Rose than Aimee
Krook nor more gallant lover than Max
Freitag and Josephine Fredricks was
surely reincarnation of Barbara the
wife of Miles Standish. Ernie Schleuder
played the part of the doughty captain
and his military bearing together with
the suit of armor furnished all of the
necessary stage presence and Armin
Koehler made most delightful villain.
Ellen Ochs and Ludwig Hofmeister took
the secondary lovers roles and were verv
sweet and appealing in their youth and
innocence. Caroline Stolz was excellent
as the world-weary woman seeking new
sensation and cynical of the virtues of
men.
The story was pretty little love and
war drama with everybody happy at the
close except the villain, who, of course.
did not deserve to be.
The class of 1917 may we'll be proud
of their representatives who showed
what can be done in dramatic line. A
full house greeted the young people and
paid them the compliment of going
away very well satisfied.
The musical numbers given by the
orchestra, by Victor Rein and Miss
Turner, Adela Ouren and John Scheide-
rich were all highly approved by the
audience and encores demanded. An in
all, it was very pleasing evening for
everyone.

This week the public schools will
give their annual exhibit of work done
turnout the year. The teachers feel
very anxious lest parents do not show the
interest they should in this affair. It is
said that very little interest has been
shown the past year by parents. Several
teachers report that not one parent
has visited in their grades during the
year. This is rather discouraging when
teachers are trying their best to produce
good results. 1t would be supposed
that parents should take some interest
in the manner in which their children
spend their school hours, but they do
not evidence any startling eagerness here
in New Ulm.

MANKATo WANTS OUR BAND.

The Mankato Free Press in it's Mon
day issue, urged that city to get busy and
secure for itself the Second Regiment
band. The Free Press was evidently
prompted to it's action by suggestion
from Captain Harold S. Nelson Of
Owatonna, who tells the Mankato folks
that they can have the band with but
very little effort.

And so all along the line.

And so all along the line.
 Tn addition there is no sign visible of any of the Allies break ing down from nerves. There is more or less an entire abserce of any such a thing as physical fear upon the part of all the nations in volyed. The possibility of moral fear is aways to be apprehended, but the weapons which may be de vised for that must be somtthing so extremely modern it is hard to see how it can be excited.
 The fact of the matter is this that we are now on this earth al a stage of relative intellectual as well as moral equality. Conse quently what one will do to i'm prove it's position on the field ot battle, the other can also Go with equal success. The Entente Allies have long ago given over the silly superstition as to German scientific superiority and superior German efficiency. That in the three years cf war has been proven incorrect, because, simply. the Allies tlem- selves overlook the German devices in their own deyising.
 Much simpler now is the elua- tion. It is now a question of food supply, man power, munitlons out put, and finance in th4 material aspects of the war, and of deter imitation, tenacity of purpose and ability to perEevere to the end on the psychological side.
 Any person that cares to work out the solution on this basis. with absolute impartiality of investiga- ton could cry reasonably reach I definite and correct solution both c. the question as to boz long the war will last and as tp how it will end
 No doubt some of these lays the psychological bureau in Der lin will be able, if not censored, to afford valuable information on this he3d It's work these days may not be wholly reassurring to autorracy anywhere.
