Only week from today and New Ulm
Home Coming celebration will be, prac-
tically thing Of the past. The Commit
tee in charge of the festivities realizes
that the time is getting short and every
one is putting forth special efforts to
complete their part Of the work. The
Committee had a meeting Monday
evening and will meet again Thursday
evening for the purpose of discussing
and taking action in such matters as
may require their attention.
Sleepy Eye Band Coming.
Chairman julius of the Parade Com
mittee reported that he had definite
assurances that the Sleepy Eye Band
will appear in the parade Wednesday
and will be accompanied by a large
contingent of the returned soldiers and
citizens from and near Sleepy Eye.
The Comfrey Band is very anxious to
come but at the latest reports they
were shy bass player. If they can
secure bass player, they will certainly
be in the parade strong. Conditions
over which no one has control prevent
the Hanska Band from being here
Wednesday and taking part in the
parade. Negotiations are still pending
to have the Springfield Band in the
parade also and the Committee and
Junior Pioneers residing in Springfield
are quite confident that the matter
will be satisfactorily adjusted and that
the Springfield Band will also be in the
city next Wednesday. All the bands
from outside are coming at, the expense
of their own communities and New Uln.
certainly appreciates this spirit of co.
operation manifested by its neighbors
and-New Ulm will be glad to reciprocate
at any time. The music for the fes-
Invites will cost over $500 for the bands
that had to be hired. The Riverside
band will not only take partin the parade
Wednesday but will also lead the automo-
bile parade Monday evening if present
plans do not miscarry.

to press that the Springfield band would
be here in full glory to lend their assis-

Urged To Decorate.
An urgent request goes forth to all
business men and private citizens to
decorate their business houses and such
of the private homes as are in the heart
of the city. This can be easily done by
displaying the stars and stripes and
using appropriate bunting decorations
In the matter of the show windows the
merchants can contribute to the attrac-
tiveness of their business houses BY
displaying relics Of the pioneer days and
souvenirs of the late world war. The
committee in charge urgently requests
the business men to make as attractive
show windows as possible. For the first.
time in many weeks there will be several
oak leaf garlands stretched across Mime
sofa street. Lieut.. john x. Neumanns
who is spending his vacation here, has
this part of the work in charge and there
will be not less than two and if it is at
all possible, there will be four garlands
for decorative purposes. .a.s3
Finances Coming Fine. 5s
When Charles Vogtel Of the Eagle
Roller Mill Company signed 5000 to
help defray the expenses Of the Home
Coming celebration, George Marti Of the
finance committee felt satisfied that the
necessary funds void be raised. He
was in a position to report Monday
evening that already 81 200 had been
signed up and that he was quite confident
that at least $500 more would be signed
up in a very short time. It was reported
also that $500 had been cleared from the
dance given at the Arrnory last Saturday
and it looks very much as though the
financial end Of the Home Coming
celebration would be- taken care Of as
It is estimated that the entire expenses
will not exceed 81, 500
