JUNIOR PIONEERS
LEFT IN COMMAND
s. , - 80 ----'--
COMMERCIAL CLUB DECIDES tn
TAKE NO PART IN FOURTH
= OBSERVANCE
DEDICATION OF THE PIONEER
f. LODGE WILL BE CARRIED
OUT AS PLANNED

Last week the Review reported that
the Commercial Club would assist the
Junior Pioneers in the matter of making
the necessary arrangements for a large
Fourth OF July parade to be held In the
city this coming 4th. This arrangement
has gone to pieces. Last Tuesday eve
ming about rs members of the Com
merclai Club, professional and business
men OF the city, met in the club rooms
IN special session for the purpose Of
deciding definitely what part, if any, the
Commercial Club would take in the
matter OF the 4th of July celebration.
Election Displeases Club
Quite number of those present gave
1t as their opinion that because of the
fact that James A. Peterson had re-
'celved a majority vote over Senator
Knute Nelson and on account of the
unprecedented vote given Chas. A.
Llndbergh for Governor, that the election
IN the city could be construed onlv as a
dlsloyal sentiment in the city and fit
would be very unbecoming for the city
to arrange 18th of July celebration. as
there seems to be so little sentiment for
patriotism" and so few seem to know
the full meaning of the Declaration Of
Independence.
Will Follow Original Plan
This was in substance the report which
Ihe committee on parade, Carl p
Manderfeld and VIM. F. Meile, reported
to the arrangements committee in session
at Turner Hall Wednesday evening
The matter was thoroly discussed and
after dellberation the members of the
commlttee< present by unanimous vote
decided to have the dedication of the
log cabin on July 4th and adhere to the
original plan which did not contemplate
any parade whatsoever. -
Program Details
1t is expected that the Junior Pioneers
themselves and their friends not only
~ the city but. in the surrounding coun-
TRY Will. respond to a cordial invitation
and Will attend the dedication exercises
at Turner Hall Park on July 18th. It is
now planned to have the dedication
ceremonies about 8 o'clock in the:
afternoon. AS part of the program the
committee has arranged for two song
numbers. In addition to this, there
will be the reading of the Declaration of
independence, report of the building
committee, an address by the President
OF the Junior Pioneers and. then. the
acceptance of the memorial by one of
the old pioneers. If possible the classes
OF the New Ulm Turnverein will give
several numbers just to show that phys
lcal training is the best means of pre-
paredness. There will be other enter
ta1nment features SO that no one viii
find time dragging heavily on his hands
II I, he attends the 4th Of July picnic at
Turner Hall Park.

Never has New Ulm been so busy
before. The streets day after day are
lined with parked automobiles, their
owners having come here from as far as
thirty miles to do their trading. Bust
ness is brisk, one merchant being too busy
to go home to his noon meal on Friday,
ordinarily dull day.

Eupa Tlrat SIR

will find plenty of occupation in
the Down Stairs Store selecting
suitable tokens to give to friends
at Christmas time.
1t is good to know that one can
fill a long list all on one floor, in
a comfortable atmosphere and at
the same time feel perfectly salts
fed that what one is buying is all
albright and will give pleasure to
the end of its days of usefulness.
So everyone may feel in the
Down Stairs Store, for it is part
of the Wanamaker business. No
need to say more.
Mother of pearl paper cutters
of a convenient size are attractive
ly boxed. They would make suit
able gifts to friends who read
much and need something to cut
pages. 25c each. (Central.)
Bureau scarfs wi h linene or all
linen centers are adorned with
lace insertions or medallions.
Many are trimmed with limitations
Of cluny and filet laces. 81 to SO
each. (Chestnut.)
A silk handkerchief is always
appreciated by a man. You have
wide choice at 30c. (Central.)
How many bags are you going
to make for gifts? Have you
seen the bag frames in the Jewel
ry Section? Those Of celluloid
are generously sized in white,
amber, tortoise she'll and various
colors. Attractive metal frames
have chains attached. 81 to $5.
(Central.)
Cotton pillow cases, neatly hem
stitched and embroidered, are at
tractively boxed in pairs at $1.75
a pair. (Chestnut.)
Who wouldn't be a baby, just to
get some Of the prettiest gifts
under the Christmas tree? Mother,
too, will thank you for a pair of
carriage clamps covered with
shirred pink or blue ribbon deli
cately painted with tiny flowers
by hand. $1.25 and $1.5O pair.
(Central.)
Windsor ties for schoolgirls!
That is a commendable thought,
for what schoolgirl wouldn't be
pleased with a pretty one? The
ties are Of crepe de chine, satin
or silk in almost all light and dark
colors, and some are striped. 35c
to 60c. (Central.)
Some one once said that gen.
erosity is fragrance to delight
the hearts of men-meaning wo-
men, too! It's pretty near the
truth, don't you think? These
small gauze-covered potpourri
novelties surely must be the fra
grance! They delight the eyes,
too, for one can see the rosebuds,
lavender and petals held within.
25c, Doc and 75c: (central')
Curiosity is excited by the sight
of small, green jewelry boxes!
OPEN one! Why, there on bed of
green or purple velvet, nestles a
lovely bar pin! Opening others
we find breast pins, lingerie
clasps, stick pins, etc. Toe each.
(Central.)
Dainty hangers for babies or
children's coats and dresses are
covered with pink or blue satin
ribbon and some are hand-painted.
