you note the personnel of a

you can, when they have ever in
the past supported any one that
they did not expect to control
after he got in.
My opponent says that he will
not favor a Road District unless
the people want it. What people?
How many of the people? Why
does he not say that he will fight
the creation of the District un-
less those who will have to foot
the bill petition him for it? But
if he should do that, what ass1r-

The National Council of De-

|discouraging the forma ton Of
new industrial corporations, the
erection of new buildings, or
other public improvements,
which cannot be utilized in the
prosecution of the war and
which are calculated to utilize

to information received by Judge
Galloway Friday.
All new buildings or indus tries
to be formed in the future will

entered the employ of the government
in the state of Arkansas until the fall Of

he went to farming. He was one Of the
leading farmers Of the county, but re-
tired from active work some Years ago.

a primitive order, but he made success

a "REAL" GOOD TIME.

Never did a more jolly crowd get to-
gether than the one which assembled
New Years evesat Turner Hall to do the
Firemen honor by attending their big
annual ball. And it was ''big'' in every
way. Big in proportions and big in
enjoyment. Everybody came 4 in the
most joyous spirits and found everything
right to make the occasion really
happy one. There were the smiling
fire laddies, pleased to see SO many
guests. There was a floor waxed to the
Nth degree of slipperyness and there
was YOUNGSTERS Orchestra ready with
all the rhythmical tunes in the list to
set feet young and old to tripping, and
last and most important, there were ALL
or very nearly all, of your best friends
with happy faces, shining eyes and CHEEKY
greetings and for a few all too short
hours everybody forget every I'M
pleasant things that exist in the world
to day and made merry without reserve.
More than two hundred attended the
dance and some few times just about
all of them tried to dance atEonce which
taxed even the big halls capacity. The
program consisted of tWenty-four num-
b,rs and bore the notation mo Anchor
which did not explain itself until a
particularly satisfying two-step called
for a repeat. Captain Hofmeister point
ed out to the dancers the. program order
but it wouldn't go with them and in
sistence brought the desired result.
The circle two-step brought all the
dancers onto the floor and such a melee!
Then came the supper march and the
young people had opportunity to give
full vent to their hilarity while their
elders laughed in sympathy with the
youngsters high spirits. A bounteous
repast was served in the gymnasium and
at midnight Chief Engel ushered in the
New Year with joyous greetings to all
and everybody greeted everybody else
in happy phrase. Then came more
dancing and still more, parents vyine
with children in gaiety until long after
all should have been asleep in their beds.
1t was really, according to the old timers,
an affair such as they had been ac-
custoned to in the early days Of the
organization. .'. .5s
e The Firemen will want the Review to
thank everyone who attended, but there
isn't any doubt that all who were there
got more than their moneys worth Of
fun and will want to say thank you to
the boys .ar the good time they had.

CITY IMPROYE 'MENTS
FALL BELOW I !. RECORD.
LESS THAN USUAL AMOUNT OF.
BUILDING ACTIVITY FOR
PAST YEAR
HIGH COST OF MATERIALS AND
LABOR CUTS DOWN THE
FIGURES

While nothing like real depression has
manifested itself among the building
trades of this city, there was consider
able lessening of activity in tie way Of
private improvements made during 1917
as compared with the figures shown
in the banner years just preceding. Even
at that, the figures show nearly quarter
of million expended in New. Ulm for
permanent Improvements.
Small Repairs Numerous.
While but few residences were erected
during the year, a great many people
made small improvements to better their
dwelling places and the cost Of these
small items goes long way to swell the
total. In years when contractors have
too many big jobs in hand, the man who
has small bit of work finds it hard to
get anyone to do it and in a somewhat
slack time he takes advantage of this
lull and gets the attention of the carpenter
and mason if he is wise.
Largest Items of Cost.
The only very heavy operations for
the past year here were those If the
New Ulm Rural Telephone Co., the New
Ulm Grocery Company and the New
Ulm Heating Company, all of which
spent considerable money in adding to
their quarters and equipment. The
first named erected a splendid new
building and practically renewed their
equipment. The Grocery Company
built a monster store house and the
Heating Company extended their mains
to include another block, the one be-
tween Center and First South and also
Fextended the mains toward the North
between Second and Third North Streets.
These three large expenditures total
approximately $4,000.
Few Moves on MINI. ST. @
On Minnesota Street the Weiser and
the Becker Blocks have been completed.
But little other activity along this
main thorofare was manifested in 1917.
Some other improvements have been
begun but work is far from complete
and will properly be counted in 1918.
The Cement manufacturers have all
been very busy but found time to i'm.
prove to the extent of nearly 5000 at
the Safert and Aufderheide works.
The Mills have expended less than usual
in improvements altho each has few
thousand dollars marked up on the list
of permanent expenses. The city has
not yet done anything about the new
municipal building, except to talk, if
that counts. City improvements in
the way of sewers, lighting, grading, etc,
have run about $4,000 higher this year
than last, totalling something over
1000. The new well on North Ger
man Street will aggregate more than a
fourth of this amount. There is an item
OF $1,000 for street oiling expense; and
it's worth it. The one Improvement
made for purposes of civic beauty was
the boulevarding of Center Street and
restationing Of the Indian Monument.
No doubt more of this sort of improve
.ment will follow this trial.

Miss Hilma Warling, member OF

and industrious students we had had.
Her aggressiveness, her enthusiasm,
her ability should make for decided
success in the musical field. Her

Of more than ordinary musicianship, a
