This little girl, of her own accord, be- came saleslady for Uncle Sam last July and when stock was taken of her sales
 at Christmastide, it was found that she
 had sold over $500 worth of War Savings ] Stamps and Thrift Stamps Nor did her activities stop when she reached the
 S500 mark. She began the new year with increased vigor and has sold over $50 worth of stamps since January l. Little Elizabeth secured the stamps at intervals from the Jefferson county treasurer's office, and at the beginning of her career as War Savings Stamps agent, made Mrs Mayfield, an employe of that office, her private and confiden- tial secretary; however, she kept her own books, and according to Mrs. May field, their figures always tailed. The methods used by Elizabeth in mak- ing sales, can be easily explained. One big help to her was the fact that her parents kept number of boarders during the past year.

Street improvements.

Several street Improvements were con-
sidered by the council. 1t was decided
to have Franklin street from First North
to Fifth South streets improved by the
laying of a water main. Another water
main will be laid on Fifth South street
between Franklin and Washington
streets. Bids will be advertised for and
opened on the evening of April "a.
Franklin street from Center to Fifth
South street and Fifth South street be-
tween Franklin and Washington streets
will be graded, graveled, boulevarded
and curbed. Plans for this work were
accepted by the council and put on file.
| A petition for the grading, crawling
and boulevarding of Front street from
Center to Third North street was re-
ferred to the Board of Public Works.
The petition for the Improvement of
Front street from Third North to Fifth
North streets having been granted by
the Board, the work on the five blocks
mentioned probably will be done at the
same time.
Fred Kretsch was granted permission
to install gasoline filling tank on First
North street in front Of his place Of
business and Jacob Fritz was granted a
building permit to erect an iron-clad

the filling tank the city council reserved
the right to have it removed should it
appear to cause a congestion of traffic

the practibility of hard surface roads

mark from another member that it
might be well to have new street crossings
in New Ulm made Of REINFORCED con-

Change In System
During the month of October the
Provost Marshal Generals office COM
menced to- change this system of the
Sele tive Service and by Nov. 10, 1917,
the QUESTIONABLE and classification sys-
tenn inaugurated by General Crowder
was approved by the President and the
real work of all Boards commenced.
These regulations provided for a number
of changes in determining the class
or liability Of man for service, and also
provided for more help and assistance
to the local Boards. Under the new
regulations, the Local Board for Brown
County recognized and entered upon
their new duties. Sheriff Julius was
again named Chairman, DR.. J. G. Roth
enburg of Springfield, who was appointed
in place of Auditor Vogel in August
1917, was named Secretary, and Dr..
Geo. B. Weiser as examining physician.
The new regulations also provided for
a Government Appeal Agent and a
Chief Clerk for each board, and County
Attorney Adolph Frederickson was ap-
pointed as Appeal Agent, and II. F.
Jahnke as Chief Clerk.
Legal Advisory Boards i
The regulations also provided for the
establishment of Legal Advisory boards,
to assist the registrants in the task Of
filling out their questioraires. The
Legal Advisory Board for Brown County
was composed Of Judge I. NJ. Olsen j;
as Chairman, w. H. Dempsey and
Alfred w. Mueller. Mr.. Mueller, being
of draft age could not act on said board
and in his place Albert Hauser Of Sleepy
Eye was appointed. In addition to
the permanent board, Associate members
were appointed, consisting of L. G. j,

son and E. j. Fernholz Of Springfield. !
These men gave unsparingly of their
time to the registrants, as did practically

The first call for men under@the new
regulations was received by the local i
board on Feb. 18, 1918, and called for
80 general military service men to be
entrained for Camp Dodge on Feb.
23, 1918. This contingent was accord
ed a royal send-off when they left,
accompanied by bands and thousands
of citizens from all over the county.
Thereafter regular calls for men were
received each month, and Brown county
