EMPLOYS ITS statesmen TO AS
SYST UNCLE SAM

The Eagle Mill Company employs
"a statesmen to travel for them regularly.
For the past several months these men
have not been allowed to travel for the
Mill, according to the government
regulations, but the mill has kept them
on the pay roll steadily. Last month
it occurred to the Eagle Mill people that
these men might be employed to help
IN the program of Food Conservation,
and each of them was ordered to re-
port to the Fosd Administrator of his
district and enroll in the service of the
government for the purpose of helping
to teach the people to conserve food.
The men were kept on the pay roll of
the Eagle Mill just the same and their
expenses paid up by the local concern.
They spent the entire month in this
work and now their services are to be
diverted to the Liberty Loan work and
each one has been notified to take orders
from the chairman of the Liberty Loan
Committee wherever he may be located.

NEW ULM REPRESENTATIVES
DO WELL

According to those who heard Victor
REIN deliver his grafton, "a More
Perfect Union, in the State Oratorical
contest which was held in Minneapolis
Thursday, he came very near taking
first place and many in the audience
remarked that they thought he should
have received the high honors. He was
awarded second place and New Ulm
is proud of that. His co-representative,
Miss Thelma Rinke, also made very
good showing, standing fifth in the list
of contestants from all over the state.
New Ulm has right to feel much elated
over the results in both cases. The
second honor carried with it as an award,
a years scholarship at the Northwestern
Conservatory of Music and Oratory.
Tkelma's efforts brought no reward save
the consciousness of having done her
very best and having made mark near
the top, which is quite enuf reward for
so young a contestant. It is said by
those who heard him, that Victor,s
Grafton was certainly splendid.

Under date Of March 9th orders
were issued by the Adjutant General
of the State directed to the local board
of Brown County ordering them to
furnish thirteen men for call No. 10.
The men furnished by them should be
white and physically qualified for general
military service. Quick-thinking, intel
ligent men who have completed at least
the 9Th grade Of a grammar school
education should be indicted under this
call. They are to go to the University
of Cincinnati for training and after
they have graduated they will probably
be called upon to perform the highly
important duty Of mechanicians in
aero squadrons. The men are to be
voluntarily indicted. IF, however, not
sufficient voluntary requests are received
then the local board is instructed to
take enuf men out of Glass One to make
up this quota. They are cautioned
in this order not to include men engaged
in farming pursuits who are absolutely
necessary for farming work. The local
board is expected to furnish thirteen
men, no more, no less. These men
will entrain on No. 514 Chicago &

AS REPRESENTATIVE
OTHER CANDIDATES PICKED BY
LEAGUERS PROMISE TO
GIVE BATTLE

Theo Thormodson of Lake Hanska
who was recently selected as the Non
Partisan Leagues candidate for re-
preventative of Brown County has
decided not to enter the race for
legislative honors and has notified the
committee to that effect.
Polkow Very Popular
Altho Herman Polkow, who: was
selected as the party's candidate for
Senator Of Brown and Redwood Counties
has not as yet filed as "a candidate it
is confidently expected by the men,
bers of the League of these two counties
that he will do so. Polkow is so we'll
and favorably known in both counties
that it is felt his entering the race will
mean his election by an overwhelming
vote.
Williams Offers Battle
For Blue Earth county, Daniel Will
liams Of Cambria, one of the progressive
farmers of that county has been selected
as the Leagues candidate for senator.
Mr.. Williams intends to make an
active campaign when the time arrives
and is satisfied of very large vote, es-
pecially in the rural districts.
Sibley and Nicollet
For representative of Nicollet county,
Sam Gieseke of CORTLAND township has
been selected and he expects to file
within a short time. Mr.. Gieseke is
also one of the successful and progressive
farmers Of Nicollet county and is very
confident of winning out in the fall
election.
John Seeman of Henderson has been
selected as the Non-Partisan's choice for
senator for Sibley and Nicollet counties.
Mr.. Seeman will make very active
campaign. He is the father of R. A.
Seeman of the New Ulm Lumber Co.
It is rumored that Ole Peterson ex-
poets to get into the race again for
representative for Nicollet county and
it is almost a foregone conclusion that
Henry N. Benson, the present incumbent
OF the office will file for reelection.

MARCH WEATHER is
WORCESTERSHIRE.
OTHER YEARS HAVE RECORDS
OF EARLIER SEASONS
=, THAN THIS
A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE AND
A LITTLE LESS SUN JUST
NOW, PLEASE.


the beautiful disposition of March this
year, and certainly it has been pleasant
month in Minnesota, particularly when
compared with the same period of time
in 1917. There is a difference of more
than ten degrees in the average tenn
perature of the two months and while
the number of clear days this year did
not greatly exceed the number last
year, still there were enough of them
so that as a whole the month stacks up
very much better in 1918 than in 1917.
There was less wind this year than the
average March brings and it was very
dry month. The snowfall was less than
1-3 of that reported for March, 1917,
and while we had rain and sleet storm
to the accompaniment of thunder this
year, March of 1917 boasted a like dis
play of temper.
Not A Record Breaker
Altho March Of this year has been
so very pleasant it does not hold the
record for an early season. In 1910
the average temperature was 16 degrees
higher than the best that the month
just past could do. Not only that but
during March of 1918 the temperature
dropped to 2 degrees below zero and
the lowest that it got in 1910 was 10
degrees above. Everyone has been
remarking on the extreme dryness this
year but in 1910 there was less than 1-9
as much precipitation and there was
only a trace of snow during the whole
month while the snow fall this year
totaled 8 IL inches. March in. 1910
boosted Is clear days and with the
south wind blowing most of the time
the result was very early crop of leaves.
Northwestern Follows
Tho@e whose memories are good will
recall that on the 18th of April a regular
Northwestern came down from Medicine
Hat, laden with snow and sleet and nip
ped off the leaves until the trees were al
most bare. That unseasonably early spring
was followed by terribly dry summer in
which the crops were badly burned up
and many of the farmers in the northern
part of the state plowed them under.
Thinking on these things will make
everyone hope that the sun will take a
vacation for little while now and let
us have little rain and few chilly
days to keep things from coming along
too fast.

NEW SWITCHBOARD
SYSTEM INSTALLED
LOCAL CONCERNS FIND NEEDS OF
BUSINESS DEMAND BETTER
PHONE FACILITIES
SEVERAL HOUSE SYSTEMS PUT
IN PAST MONTH BY RURAL
TELEPHONE co.

The Rural Telephone Co. workmen
have been very busy the past month
installing new branch exchanges in
several business places in the city, among
them being the Home Bakery, the Eagle
Mill Co., Drs. Stricken and Hammer
meister, Attorneys Somsen, and Demp-
sey, the Loretto Hospital, the New Ulm
Publishing Company, and the Stein
hauser Law Office.
Thirty Instruments
+ The Eagle Mill will have a switch
board installed and will have their
own operator thru whom all calls will
go. They will have twenty-five tele-
phones to start with, on eight trunk
lines. They expect to have thirty
telephones after the new Office is COM
plete. Theirs is the largest telephone
system in the city. The Loretto Hos
pital has twelve telephones but have only
one trunk line. The Review and Stein
hauser offices come next with three trunk
lines and six telephones. The Home
Bakery has one trunk line and six
telephones. The doctors have two trunk
lines with three Instruments.
Trunk Lines Add Efficiency
Tie number of trunk lines which
company has determines the number
of parties who may telephone to their
Offices at the same moment. For in
stance, three telephone connections from
outside may be made with the New Ulm
Review offices at one time. No. 101 is
tie business office Of the Review, No.
254 is tie business office Of Mr.. Stein
hauser, and No. 401 is the editorial
office of the Review and Post. How
ever, if 1O1 proves to be busy when tke
number is called, Central may transfer
the call to 254 or to 401 and still reach
almost any person in the employ of the
New Ulm Publishing Company. The
same is true of Mr.. Steinhausers call.
He may be called thru the Review
office and immediate connection secured
without calling his own particular num-
Der. Each telephone in the office has
it's own set of six buttons which enables
any one of-the employees to call any other
employe in any part Of the building at
any time. This system is like those
of the Home Bakery and the Loretto
Hospital except that the three trunk
lines give more opportunity for quick
service than the more limited number
which the other Offices have.
: House System Perfected
It is also possible for any department
in the Review or Steinhauser offices to
connect with any other department
without having the call go through the
central Office at all and six different
employees of the company may be
communicating at one time without
interfering with each other in any way.
Each employee can also be reached by
outsiders without the necessity of leaving
his working place except in cases where
he might happen to be out of his usual
place. Each employe can also call
outside at any time without leaving his
post of duty. The system in the Review
offices was made necessary by the ex-
pansion of business which now requires
the entire three floors of the Review
building with more than dozen en-
ployes.

Monday afternoon it was eensraIly
felt that Willibald Eibner would he
elected mayor Of the city without any
opposition because the time for getting
the name Of any other candidate on the
ticket by petition had expired. How
ever, considerable feeling had been
engendered because of the fact that
Dr. Fritsche had been practically CO.

had refused to withdraw their candidate
when DR.. Fritsche offered to get out Of

too autocratic.
Young America Rebels
Unbeknown to the older men who
had favored DR.. Fritsche's candidacy.
about fifteen Of the younger voters got,
together and determined that they
would show the hackers of Mr.. Eibner
that they were not half-satisfed with
the tactics employed. They decided
to put up young man for mayor and

Sunday morning that he was the stand
ard bearer of large number of his
friends for the office of mayor. The
matter had been kept very quiet, the
stickers and cards announcing the
candidacy Of Mr.. Mueller being printea
out of town.
Autocracy Again Busy
Immediately after it became known
that the candidacy Of Alfred w. Mueller
was being pushed for the mayoralty,
pressure was brot to bear upon him to
get him to withdraw from the campaign
but without success. From the time st
became known that Mueller was
