NEW VENTURE IN ENTERTAIN-
MENT PROVES FINANCIAL
SUCCESS.
OFFICERS ARElW WELL PLEASED
WITH RESULT OF THE 1917
SHOW.

e@AAOoAASA year. o1iu GuS Objects OF CN0
Brown County Agricultural society are
well pleased with the results of the big
show of 1917. There were larger crowds
at each days session, and every one was
apparently better satisfied with what he
saw than ever before. The society
members are satisfied that the people
want something besides cheap horse
races, and similar entertainment att
the county fairs, and the contention
of the officers that there was demand
for different and better class of features
has been sustained by the totals of the
gate receipts.
Tuesdays attendance is said to have
been three times greater than on anv
similar day of the fair in years past.
when there were more than 1000 people
on the grounds during the day and
evening.
There was some disappointment on
the part OF the visitors Tuesday, owing
to the lateness of the day in which the
aeroplane artist got around to make his
flight, and some from distance were
obliged to leave without seeing this at
traction. The GLOWING day however,
he was given to understand that he
must get busy earlier in the afternoon
with the result that he gave fairly
good fight at more reasonable hour.
The balloon ascensions were exceptional
~ good especially. The vaudeville acts
We're excellent and gave good satisfaction
from beginning to end.
Now that the fair management has
started on a new tack IN the. amusement
and entertainn ent lire, it is likely that
improvements will be made in the future.
Advertising Given Credit.
Secretary w. E. Englebert does not
give all of the credit for the success of
this years fair to the improved class of
amusements and attractions, but says
the increased amount of advertising is
entitled to much of the credit.
THE success of this years fair proves
what the right kind of attractions and
liberal judicious advertising will do. -
said Mr.. Engelbert, after he had finished
figuring up the receipts and profits.
The following is the table of receipts

years when there has been surplus.

INTOXICATED MEN
CAN'T RUN AUTOS
IL LIABLE TO FINE AND. CANCEL
LATIoN OF LICENSE WHEN
q CONVICTED
NEW LAW MAKES SUCH ACTION
BY COURTS ABSOLUTELY
IMPERATIVE.

Whoever operates a motor vehicle
while in an intoxicated condition shall
he. guilty Of misdemeanor.
I Provided that any person convicted
under this section shall forfeit any liz
cense which he may have to operate a
motor vehicle under the laws of this
state, and shall also be disqualified to
operate any motor vehicle for period
of three months after the date of such
conviction, and provided further that
any violation of this provision shall be
a misdemeanor. !"
New Law Is Drastic.
The above is a provision added to the
automobile laws, passed during the last
session of the legislature and went into
effect on April Is. The law also pro-
vides that driver thus convicted is,
in addition to the forfeiture of his
license, liable to pay a fine of not less
than $25 nor more than 500. The
justice may also impose straight jail
sentence, without the option of paying
a fine.
Complaints Are Numerous.
The reason for the drastic action of
the, legislature is obvious. Not only in
this vicinity are the complaints of
serious accidents and narrow escapes
numerous. While there are occa-
sional such instances here, they are
much more frequent in other towns of
the state.
New Ulm Law-Abiding.
1t must also be said for New Ulm
Chat il nearly every instance the,offend-
ing parties are from other localities.
There is probably not city anywhere in
which the citizens are more law-abidinp
than in this city.
The following communication, signed
"A Citizen and Taxpayer published
in the Lake Crystal Union, indicates
how intolerable conditions are in that
vicinity and around Mankato:
If you will grant me space I wish
to call the attention of the public to
the great danger that the people along
the highway leading out Of Mankato
are being subjected to. With the au-
tomobile has sprung up an evil through
the excessive use of liquor that is en-
dangering the lives of all who travel.
1t is not an uncommon thing for an
automobile loaded with men who have
visited Mankato and have become in
toxicated by the use of too much liquor
to drive through our city or on some
other country road, at a high rate of
speed compelling other travellers to get
into the ditch to save their families and
themselves from instant death. Will
we, as America citizens, straining every
nerve to provide for the great emergency
that is now upon us allow these people
to not only spend their time and money,
but interfere with the peaceful pursuits
OF citizens who are trying to do their bit
in this great conflict? It lies within our
power to eliminate this great evil at
once and I hope to hear this subject
being discussed by every American
citizen in our city and through the
columns OF our neighbor newspapers.
Several accidents have recently occurred
and it is disgrace for the citizens of
Blue Earth county to allow it to con-
sinue.''
