Efforts will be made by the Child
Welfare League Of New Ulm to intro
duce simple forms of athletic contests
into the public schools Of the city in
order that interest in physical training
may be stimulated from earliest ages up

The ladies who comprise the Welfare

The plan is to have a number Of

physical condition and abilities. These
tests will be such as may be carried out
in any community regardless of climatic
conditions. They will not involve any
expensive equipment nor will they in

There are no height, weight or age

ARE FIDGETY NOW

About two weeks ago a suave, slick
sort of fellow, with a very limited
command of English, but quite pro-
fcient in the use of German, appeared
at Waconia and quietly went about
the village and the surrounding coun-
try. Strange as it may seem, it hap
pened that he called on people who
through some freak of fortune had
found it impossible to acquire Liberty
Bonds in the recent drive. Strange as
it seems now, his calls on these par
ticular persons may have been-un-
derstand, may have been-prompted
by knowledge gained through perusal
of an index system containing a stack
of blue cards. Everyone has heard
more or less Of blue cards so why
mention them?
At any rate the mission of the gen.
tleman was conducted with as much
secrecy as possible. He did not give
publication of his intentions. But with
in few days he had secured promises
from 10 or Is men to lend financial
support to little project which he had
in mind.
The project was the starting of a
revolution in Texas.
After having secured financial back
ing ranging in amounts from SO cents to
$3.50, he took his departure after re-
marking in perfectly plain English
that he'd hate like the very dickens
to be in the boots of the men he had
signed up. There is now lurking
suspicion in the minds of the dupes
that the supposed German government
agent is none other than a secret ser
vice operative who indorses his month
ly pay checks issued by some official
other thar the German Chancellor OF
the exchequer. Some of the @'back-
ers'' are suffering from loss OF sleep.
Others have severe cases of nerves"
while others gaze longingly at the big
railroad maps. In the words of Sam
Bernard, comedian, "There they stand
waiting and waiting and nobody knows
what they're waiting for. Norwood
Times.
If any one is foolish enuf to lend aid
to any scheme such as that offered by
the secret service man he must expect
that trouble will surely follow and the
Waconia farmers may have severe
penalty to pay. However, it would
seem more in keeping with the high
ideals which the war is meant to follow
cut if secret service agents were sent out
to persuade people to be good rather than
to tempt them into betraying their
country. A "slick' fellow can easily
convince those who are ignorant that
white is black and black white. Why not
then aim to procure good results rather
than bad? Would not the purposes
of the department be equally we'll
served by this method?
