BUYING FROM A STRANGER

Is somewhat dangerous practice. It is
easy for him to make statements that
may not be true. In buying hog con-
ditioners the word of stranger as to
what the formula is should be backed
by the printed formula on the container.
Hog Conditioners that are sold thru
dealers have their formula on file with
the state authorities and comply with
the regulations, while often the peddler's
goods do not do so.
In buying Hog Preparations, as in
buying anything else, it pays to buy
goods with a reputation, backed by a
reliable house, who tell the truth about
their goods. STANDARD HOG
REGULATOR has a reputation and
we will be glad to tell you anything about
it you wish to know, as the policy of the
Standard Chemical Mfg. Company is
to tell its customers all about their

FORMER NEW ,ULM BOY IN
' THE AVIATION SERVICE
Wesley Hamann Writes Re atives
Here of His Work in Army.

Alderman Fred Hamann has received
an interesting letter from his nephew,
Wesley H. Hamann, who is now in the
aviation service of the United States,
stationed at Sam Antonio, Texas,
where his squadron is in training.
Wesley is native of New Ulm, but left
here with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
B H. Hamann, several years ago and
since then they have been residents Of
Sykeston, North Dakota Wesley
joined the service last winter, and is now
getting to be good deal of an aviator.
He says that about 800 men are ar
irving at the camp daily, but they are
too late as the division there is full.
His advice to the New Ulm boys is not
to be in too big a hurry about getting
into the army, but to wait while and
the chance for getting into action will
be better. Following are portions of the
letter which will be Of interest to his
New Ulm friends:

for quite a while, but I have been adj
vanced to the engineers department
in the aviation service, so have things
Quite a bit easier that at first. NV
work is repairing and attending to the
motors, and have but few hours work
each day.
| I. II had my first ride in an airplane a
couple of days ago. We wen up over
5000 feet, and the pilot certainly did
some great stunts while at that height.
We staid up about forty minutes, but
he didn't scare me a bit. The pilot
said I was the first fellow he ever took
up that didn't try to crawl under the
seat. ~
My advice to the boys who want to
I join the army is to wait little while yet.
It's not all fun, and they are pretty rough
on the ones who are coming in now, but
when you once get good job it is fine.

orders to be ready to move at any time

way it looks it may be France AT

Mr.. Hamann sends piece oil

TRAMPS ARE CONSPICUOUS
BY THEIR ABSENCE. NOW

According to the police but very few
tramps have visited New Ulm so far
this season. Chief Adolph Klause saws
that in his entire service in the police
department of this city, he has never
known a season when so few of the

evidence. However, the officers are
not finding any fault because Of the lack
OF these unWelcome visitors. 80

COURT TERM FAST
NEARING !! ITS END En-.
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CASES
ARE BEING RAPIDLY DIS
POSED OF.
ACCUSED BOX CAR ROBBERS
SENT TO JAIL FOR TWO
MONTHS. \

Pending cases have been rapidly dis
posed of in the district court during the
Ipast week, and from present indications
the May term will well have run it's course
by the end ofthe present week.
Two criminal cases were taken care
of yesterday morning, when John Ries
and Charles Berg, who had plead guilty
to having broken into and robbed a box
car at Sleepy Eye, were sentenced by
Judge Olsen, each to sixty days i'm
prisonment in the county jail. The
charge against the two men was grand
larceny in the second degree.
Not Yet Sentenced.
Matthew H. Lang, who has plead
guilty to murder in the second degree,
had not yet been sentenced yesterday,
but probably will be within a day or two.
Anna Peterson, who sued the Mystic
Workers of the World, for the insurance
on her husbands life, was awarded a
judgment against that corporation for
$1,303.60.
q John Bartl and Alfred Brey, whose
automobile ran into and damaged the
car of Joseph Wartha, must pay the
latter the sum Of $88, according to the
decision OF the jury returned Saturday
morning. Albert Steinhauser was at
torney for the plaintiff and Pfaender &
Erickson appeared for the defendant.
Late Monday the jury in the breach
of promise suit of Hazel c.. Barnes
against Gustav. J. Vollmer, brought in a
verdict of 81 900 in favor of the plain
TIL. 1t appears that Vollmer had
previously promised to pay Miss Barnes
81 900, but later repudiated the agree
ment, and the suit for $4,000 proceeded
at this term of court. The parties reside
at Sleepy. Eye. Pfaender & Erickson
were attorneys for the plaintiff and
Albert Hauser for the defendant.
Z Cow Case on Trial.
& Yesterday the famous Sleepy Eye
''cow case," in which Albert F. Gieseke
is charged with having stolen COW, was
on trial. 1t was called Monday after

CHEESE POLENTA

For a porridge made of 1 cup Of
yellow cOrnmeal the usual allowance
Of p cup, or two ounces, Of grated
cheese. There is, however. no limit
to the amount of cheese which can
be added, and the addition of the
cheese not only tends to make a
more highly heterogeneous and nOur-
ishing dish, but also to make dish
which can be eaten without the addi-
ton of butter or cream. Like the or
binary corn meal pOrTidge, it is often
either fried in deep fat, after having
been egged and cruhbled, or on a
creased pan.

NEBRASKA GUARD
IN FIGHTING SHAPE
Fifth Regiment on Edge and
Expects to Get Into Action
Within a Short
Time.

Lincoln, Neb., May 1.-THE busi-
ness of war, no longer a dress parade
and playful, but fretful and urgent,
has. lost the glamour OF great ad-
venture for the Nebraska National
Guardsmen and has stiffened their
ranks with stubborn notion iof grim
work ncedful to be done.
Everywhere there is hurried prep
aration, snapped-out orders and quick
obedience. But the precise reason
for what is being done no one seems
10 know
Only this is clear: There will be
use for the Nebraska National Guard
and they are making ready.
Not even the adjutant general, or
the men who sit in the councils of
state, can say, or will say, what next
will be done.
1t is possible they know; it is GER
tain civilians do not know, privates
in the guard do not know, subordi-
nate commissioned officers do not
know.
Expect Something Big.
what change that telegram from
Washington, we're waiting for, would
make" said an officer attached to the
staff of the adjutant general. He de-
clared he meant orders TO do some
thing big, something direct"
Orders from Washington For that
all of them are waiting. Shortly,
perhaps, they will be driven to ex-
haustion with work; it would be a
pleasure. Now they are nervous,
frankly fdgety, but going methodic-
ally ahead with the doing Of the
thing at hand.
Little clusters in soldier drab
gather on the streets. at the armory,
but in their eyes there is no more the
vision of big battles, nor in their
ears the drumming of airplanes and
the sounds of shells exploding. They
are seeing ahead days and nights
on end of routine guard duty and
their ears are straining for word from
. Washington.
'We have drilled and drilled and
drilled and we're ready to fight" one
complained. "But we have done moth
ing but guard bridges, waterworks,
electric lighting plants-for weeks
and weeks. It's monotonous."
In Fighting Shape.
"Our work has been necessary and
important" another guardsman, cor
poral by the one gray bar on his
sleeve, answered him. "Soon enough
we will be fighting. All OF US will
be fighting soon."
That is the general opinion of Of |
fcers and the hope OF the men: 1--WE
will all be fighting soon." And in
the meantime men receive and obey
orders and wonder what they are
about and they do not know that even
their highest officers also are wonder |
ing and are nervously opening each
telegram from Washington.
II is known guardsmen have not |
been idle anywhere in the state, but
have been doing their grind OF "ac-
tive duty" wearisome routine OF
guarding property and unending
drills.
Now il the Nebraska National
Guard is called to the front its Off
GERS are confident ii will go in fight
ing shape, better prepared for war
than it ever has been before.
