TURNTAG JUNE 9TH

VIM. Mueller of St. Paul was in the
city Monday evening for the purpose of
comforting with members of the local
society as to the advisability of having
Turntag at New Ulm this year. At
the annual convention held in St. Paul
it was decided to have Turntag in the
open at New Ulm some time in the
month of June and Mr.. Mueller came
here on behalf of the District Executive
Committee for the purpose of finding
out if this gymnastic event should be
held or not. He found that the men,
bers of the society here were quite anxious
to have the Turner's of St. Paul and Min
neapolis come here and they have agreed
upon Sunday, June 9th, as the date for
this gymnastic exhibition. The execu-
tive commit ee of course has the right
to call off the Turntag altogether but
it is hardly supposed that this will be
done in view of the fact that the local
society is willing to assume the re-
sponsibility Of making all the necessary
arrangements for the event.

INVITED TO FORT RIDGELY.

Memorial Day services at Fl. Ridgley
will be held this year Sunday, May 26-
It had been planned to have these
services June 2, but on account of the
inability of Gov. Burnquist to be there
on that day, it was decided to have the
memorial services the last Sunday in
May. Gov. Burnquist and State Auditor;
Preus have been secured as speakers
From here a number of the G. A r
and also of the Hecker circle are expected
to be present. An invitation has also
been sent to Mayor Eibner of this city
to be extended to the citizens of New
Ulm to take part in the services at the
Fort. The management of the affair
would appreciate it very much if arrange
ments could be made whereby Hof-
meister's Band could be present and
furnish music for the occasion.

LM BROWN COUNTY, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, MAY Is 1918

replaced with new, everywhere is seen
evidence of the presence of the painter,
the plumber, the mason and the car
penter and the employees go about their
tasks cheerfully in the midst of a clatter
and spatter of paint and mortar and dust
and shavings.
While the new Offices will be delight
to the occupants, there is some regret
expressed since the extensive repairs
will mean that the big plant will not
establish an uptown office for some years
to come. The city would have been
delighted to see fine office building in
the center of the business section bat
the managers of the mill felt it best
not to make the change at the present
time and the city must be satisfied with
the big Improvements being made in
the old offices.

were appointed by the Court. The
only other jury case up for trial was that

FAIRFAX TRUSTEES
GIVEN IMMIGRATION
CHARGES MADE AGAINST SCHOOL
OFFICIALS WITHDRAWN BY
SUPERINTENDENT
STATE SUPT. c. C. SCHULZ
SAYS ACCUSATIONS WERE
GROUNDLESS

The school troubles of Fairfax are
now at an end. 1t will be remembered
that the Superintendent of Schools,
R. D. Bowden, and A. E. Carver had in
the controversy which had arisen be-
tween the School Board and the Super
intendent filed statements with the Min
nesota Commission of Public Safety,
charging that five members of the School
Board were disloyal and pro-German.
Supt. Schulz Report
Supt. C. G. Schulz made a thoro
investigation of the matter and after
hearing all the facts he issued a written
statement in which he says that he is
fully convinced that no member of the
Fairfax School Board can be properly
accused of or charged with being dis
loyal or pro-German and that he is
convinced also that they are entirely
devoted to America and to the cause Of
the Allies and are determined to do their
full part in aiding to win the war. He
states further that he has every reason
to believe that further friction and mis-
understanding between the School Board
and Supt. Bowden will not again occur.
Safety Commission Satisfied
H. w. Libby, Secy. of the Minnesota
Public Safety Commission, in a letter
to A. E. Fenske, Pres, of the Board of
Education of Fairfax advises him that
the charges against the five members
of the school board have been withdrawn,
that the Commission has accepted the
finding of State Supt. C.. G. Schulz as
conclusive that the charges made were
not well founded, that the commission
is satisfied as to the loyalty and Ameri-
canism of the members of the Fairfax
School Board and that in view of the
fact that the charges have been with
drawn the case is considered closed.
Charges Withdrawn f= 81
The following is the statement signed
by A. E. Carver and R D. Bowden:
eve, the undersigned do hereby with
draw and retract all Statements which
we have filed with the Minnesota Public
Safety Commission against the Board
of Education of Fairfax, Minnesota IN
which were made statements declaring
said Board or any members thereof
guilty of disloyalty or pro- ermanism.
After careful and due consideration
we are convinced that such statements
were based upon misconception and a
misunderstanding Of facts b

With nineteen civil cases carried over

case on the calendar, that of the State
against Carl F. Stucke who was indicted
at the last term of court for non-support.

before the grand jury. Frank Kelley
was bound over to the grand jury from
N. Henningsen's Court for taking in
decent liberties with a girl ID years old.
S Apply for Citizens Papers
Thirteen have filed applications for
citizenship. OF this number possibly
only four will be considered by the Court.
Eight of the applicants are citizers Of
countries with which the United States
is now at war and they cannot at this
time under existing laws, be granted
full citizenship papers. One of those
who made application and whose ap-
plication would be considered, has joined
the national army and will not be here
to urge his wishes.
The grand jury will report for duty
at II o'clock Monday and Immediately
after they have been sworn, the Court
will take up the preliminary call of
both the civil and criminal calendars.

WAR STAMP SALES
MUST BE ENLARGED
BROWN CO. MUST BUY MORE
THAN HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH
STAMPS REDEEMABLE ON TEN
DAYS NOTICE. BEAR FOUR
PER CENT INTEREST
Contributed By %. NJ. Olsen)

Every citizen of this county will have
a patriotic duty to perform during Wal
Savings Pledge Week from June 9Th
to 18th, by subscribing for as many Of
these government securities as he car
stand, these to be purchased on weekly
or monthly basis during the balance OF
this year. This is the declaration made
by O. M. Olsen, Chairman of the Brown
County War Savings Stamp Committee
today.
Wants County to Lead
"This county must be among the
leaders in reaching it's quota Of Wal
Savings Stamp Sales, he said. "Toc
many persons have looked upon the
War Savings Campaign as mere child's
play when the reverse is only too true
1t is an investment that belongs to every
man, woman and child in this county
and one that is backed by the unlimited
resources of the government.
Quickly Redeemable
1t should be remembered that buying
War Stamps is not a gift. They rep
resent a demand security in the United
States that pays four per cent interest,
compounded quarterly, and which can
not sell below par. Although such
practice is discouraged, War Stamps
can be redeemed at local postoffices
on ten days notice, plus the accrued
interest. In other words, they may be
placed in almost the same class as In
terest-paying currency and are just as
staple.
Must Raise Big Sum
Minnesotas quota is SAT 100000 -
about two-thirds the allotment OF the
Third Liberty Loan, which, in itself,
shows the enormous task confronting
us in order to sell out the quota the
Treasury has apportioned as our share
for aiding in financing the war. Every
person in this country, by saving from
non-essential expenditures, can buy his
quota of War Savings Stamps this
year without feeling any undue burden
ov doing so. He also will be buying
the finest possible security and thereby
be adding to his income. Following
the proportion given above, it would
appear that Brown County is expected
to take S566,666.66 in War Savings
Stamps before the end of the year.

EAGLE MILL MAKES BIG

Roller Mill offices is still in active oper-
alton and the wonder is that the workers
can accomplish anything at all in the
midst of the confusion that reigns
supreme and has so ruled for the past
month or more. There is little hope that
the painters, plasterers and carpenters
will be thru with the job for another
month but when they do take themselves

repay all the discomfort the employers
