BUYS THE COMMONWEALTH
Concern Is Now In Hands of Wolff
AT Milwaukee.

SonCern Us NOW IN 7dnuS OF WON
At Milwaukee.
Bancroft Register: The Common
welth company is now in the hands
of the Wolff company of Milwaukee.
This concern is the one that furn-
ishes practically all of the funds that
were necessary to build the lines
through this part of the country in
the first place For the past few
months there have been many rum
ors concerning the proposed trans
fer but none knew just when the
new owners would take charge.
Mr. Higgins, the new vice presi-
dent was a Bancroft visitor the
latter part of the week and paid the
Register office a visit. Mr.. Higgins
has been in the electric light game
for years and is well versed in high
line transmission matter. Prior to
his moving TO Mankato he was To-
Gated at Milwaukee where he had
charge of several projects that the
Wolff company had in that state. Mr.
Higgins informs us that his aim will
be to give the Commonwealth pat
irons the best possible service. In
order to do this some of the lines
will have to be practically rebuilt
and many changes of minor import
ancce must be looked after.
Mr.. Merrifeld, the former presi-
dent and general manager OF the
company, is at present in the hospi-
tai, and may be obliged to remain
there for several weeks. He has re-
tanned an interest in part OF the
works but has severed his connec-
tions entirely with the lines coming
into Iowa. .a-r D.. -r...
One of the first things the new
owners plan on doing is to rake
Swea City a proposition regarding
furnishing them with Juice Swea
Citys plant is far too small to handle
the load and the city council recently
asked that proposition be made TO
them. II will be impossible for any
transmission company to make Swea
City any such proposition as Bancroft,
Ledyard, Germania and Titonka nave
as cost of building the lines have
greatly increased since these towns
we're hooked up. Nevertheless. Swea
city can we'll afford to pay strict at
tention to any offer that the Com
monwealth may make them and then
can forget all their power and trans
mission troubles.
DR.. w. w. Zettler Is spending the
week END with friends in Minneapolis.
He will also attend the Minnesota
Illinois game.

wish to give publicity to their views
on matters of public moment. In
lfact this newspaper will welcome

which will elevate mankind and en-

Policy of Public spiritedness.
at is the purpose of The Free Press
TO continue its policy of public spirit
edness, lend its full aid and hearty
support to every undertaking that
will build up Mankato and Southern
Minnesota, to extend and broaden its
influence and the community's pres
tige, commercially, financially and
socially. It's policy will be liberal.
Recognizing the responsibility that
1t is undertaking, The Free Press
will put forward its best thought, its
best energies and its wholesome en-
deavor to keep inviolate the trust and
confidence which the people place in
II.
New Press and News Service.
With the installation of the new
high sIeed press and its auxiliary
equipment early in 1920. The Free
Press hopes to issue an early mail
edition to reach all Southern Mime
sofa. A circulation manager has been
engaged whose task will be to see
that the subscribers of The Free
Press get as nearly perfect service
as possible. The full leased wire
service of the Associated Press will
be instituted at the same time. This
will furnish to Free Press readers
the same news service of world
events as is furnished by the princi-
pal metropolitan dailies of the coun-
try.
When the situation in the territory
warrants 1t morning edition will be
issued, 1t being the plan of The Free
Press to give to the people of this
section everything in the way of
newspaper service for which there
may be a demand.
For the immediate present The Free
Press asks the patience and CO -oper-
ation of its subscribers. 1t has out
grown its present equipment. The
new equipment was purchased in
April. 1919, but because of current
conditions, it will be January or Feb
ruary before it is installed and run
ming smoothly. Until that time there
are bound to be some imperfections
OF service, and The Free Press asks
all its readers, both old and new, to
be as patient and considerable as they
can until the new equipment makes
1t POSSIBLE for The Free Press TO
print and deliver the best newspaper
ever published in Southern Mime
sofa, to you on time.

Future of The Free Press.
OF the future of The Free Press a
few words need be said. It is the in
tention of the publishers to improve
the newspaper with the installation
of a modern high sreed press and
the leased wire service of The As
ISOLATED Press. This will enable The
Free Press to furnish its large fam
ily circle with telegraphic news such
as has never before been attempted
by a Mankato newspaper. The local
field will not be overlooked, but
rather the news Of the community
and that of this neighborhood will be
served Free Press readers in larger
volume than ever. A great deal of
attention will be paid not only to
Blue Earth county interests, but
those of Southern Minnesota will re-
ceive more attention than heretofore.
II is the aim of those who have made
The Free Press a highly creditable
newspaper to make it more so.
In these days newspapers of the
more influential class have eschewed
partisanship and with both soul and
heart on the action strived to make
communities better by advocating for
places of Public trust those men who
have the interest of their fellowmen
at heart, and not favor aspirants for
honors because they may belong to
certain political party. The plat
form of The Free F'ress will be so
broad that all who believe in better
citizenship. Americanism unadulter-
ated, good government and the up
lifting of humanity can stand on it
and assist in the welding together of
all those forces which will make the
world better place in which to live.
Columns of The Free Press will be

REV. BELLS NEWSPAPER
"Pilgrim Pointers" Is Being Publish
ed At Benton, Mimi, MONTHLY.

co AZ DenIony MIMI, monthty.
An interesting and live paper,
Pilgrim Pointers" is being publish
ed by the Pilgrim Congregational
church at Benson, the first copy be-
ing issued to the community this
month.
Pilgrim Pointers" is not a news
paper and it does not enter into
competition with any other paper. II
aims to serve the people and the
point of contact between Pilgrim
Pointers and the community life will
be religious and moral rather than
commercial, although il refuses to
recognize any distinct line between
the two. Its editor is Rev. Ayles-
worth B. Bell. pastor of the Congre-
gational church. He formerly held
a similar position in Mankato.
The paper contains some very
good stories, the church directory, an
editorial, personals and a number of
advertisements. One article, there
in, gives mention of the fact that
the series of sermons by the pastor
have proved very helpful and popu-
lar and a packed house greets the
pastor each Sunday evening. These
meetings will be continued all
through the winter season.
Recently, Mothers Night" on
October 10 and Fathers Night" on
October IS were celebrated at the
Pilgrim Congregational church. At
both meetings a very pleasing and
sacred program was rendered. -If.
