Following the report on the building
of the log cabin and the expression of
the gratitude of the, Junior Pioneers
for the work done by the Building Com
mittee, Mr.. Stolz turned the lodge over
to the Junior Pioneers and Mr.. Alvin
introduced Capt. Albert Steinhauser
as President of the organization who
accepted the lodge and expressed the
thanks of the Junior Pioneers for the
good work done. Mr.. Steinhauser took
for his subject "Real and False Patriot
ISM and spoke of the unfair criticism
of New Ulm by the mouth-patriots OF
the state. He defined Humanity"
and Democracy" and warned his hearers
not to be misled by the false alarms of
those who would make profit by their
protestations of loyalty. To show the
Americanism of New Ulm and it's found
ers he referred to the fact that when
our little city was founded years ago
the old pioneers had not thot for min
ute of naming any of it's thorofares after
the thorofares of their Fatherland but
had chosen the names of the patriots
of the American Revolution to indicate
their intention of becoming American
citizens and adopting American life for
their own.
Gift of Fifty Dollars
Mr.. Steinhauser, at the close of his
talk turned the lodge over to the pion-
GERS with a warm tribute to them for
what they had done to make New Ulm
beautiful and expressed the obligations
of the Junior Pioneers and all others who
live here to enjoy the blessings fostered
by the early efforts of the old people.
He read telegram which had been
received that morning from Mrs. Mary
Hoerr, nee Bergman of St. Louis.
The telegram conveyed congratulations
to the Junior Pioneers and their elders
and gave the information that $50 was
on the way from Mrs. Hoerr to go into
the fund for keeping up the lodge.
Pioneer Fritsche Responds
Mr.. Alvin next introduced one of the
old pioneers, Fred Fritsche, who CRATE
fully accepted the lodge for the pioneers
and expressed their appreciation of the
efforts of the young people to do them
honor and to provide pleasant meeting
place for them. Following Mr.. Fritsche's
talk the visitors were made welcome at
the various booths and the log cabin
ice cream parlor did a big business.
Their dishes, especially named for the
occasion, found many buyers and before
the day closed there was not spoonful
of ice cream to. be had. It, was said
that every bit of ice cream in the city
was sold out. The total receipts of the
day exclusive of the ice cream stands
was just under $500 and the committee
still have on hand nearly 400 postal
cards which some of the drug stores
have agreed to sell for them in order
that there may be no loss on this item.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
listening to music by the Hofmeister
Band and the whole assembly sang
"America',' with Mr.. Alvin leading.
The quartette also sang again during
the evening. The occasion was pleas
ant one all the way thru and not single
unpleasant incident marred the whole
affair from start to finish.
At the Catholic School house large
assemblaee gathered and enjoyed the
day immensely. There were all sorts
of games and two bowling alleys in
full operation and the Concert Band
furnished the music. Lunch was also
served and the gross receipts of the day
were about $3.50. A very pleasant
time was spent by all who attended. !
At the Lutheran School house the
celebration was like family gathering
of the congregation who enjoyed the
luncheon served and spent the day
quickly but pleasantly visiting together.
