Rendering Best
Service

HE constant progressive policy OF
this Company since its establish
ment. 50 years ago, has been TO
keep pace with the demands OF The time
or. in fact, to anticipate them a little, al
ways furnishing the most modern equip
ment and the best service possible. Dur
ing our business career there have been
many changes in both methods and equip
ment. Looking backward half a century,
the equipment OF that day now seems
crude, old-fashioned-certainly not in
keeping with the wonderful improvements
that surround us on all sides today. With
the advent Of automobiles 1t became APP
parent that motor hearses, and partieu-
larly motor ambulances, were needed, and
true to our constant endeavors to always
render the very best service possible, we
equipped ourselves with motor hearses,
ambulances and automobiles, so through
all the years Of our business career have
we kept up with the giant strides of mod
ern progress until now, in an effort to Of
fer still more perfect service, we have con-
verted a palatial home into a modern UNI
dertaking establishment.

CANDIDATES FOR POSTMASTER

NEW ULM, SEPTEMBER
PATH, 1919.

Politics will be barred altogether
from consideration in the Forthcoming
examination for postmaster at Gibbon,
Mimi, to be held at New Ulm Septem-
Der oath, 1919. This announcement
has just been received from the New
York offices Of the National Civil Ser

executive order made several years ago
by the President, and which takes first,
second and third class postmasters out
of politics, the appointment must be

Political Propaganda.
In many localities where examina-
tons have already been held, the Leagues
statement says, there has been an
attempt by politicians to create the
impression that the examination was
only screen for political manipulation.
So successful has this propaganda been
in certain cases that many qualified
persons who would otherwise have
applied have refrained from doing so,
believing that without political "pull''
it would be useless.
The League urges that no attention
be paid to such reports, but that all
citizens residing within the delivery
of the vacant office, both men and
women, apply for the position if they
believe they are qualified to fill it. In
this way the community will be as
sured of securing the best person avail
able as postmaster
The National Civil Service Reform
League was instrumental in securing the
issuance Of the Presidential order relat-
ing to these examinations.
Information At Postoffice.
The examinations are conducted and
the candidates rated by the United
States Civil Service Commission. In
formation may be obtained from the
Commission at Washington or from the

second and third class offices have to
be approved by the Senate, it rarely
happens that nominee is rejected.

WARNING TO FARM
OWNERS IN WEST
GRAVE DANGER IN RAPIDLY
RISING LAND PRICES,
SAYS WASHINGTON.
SPECTATORS HAVE REAPED
BIG.sPRoFITs BY BUYING IS
AND REsELLING.

Prices of farming lands in many sec
tons of the United States, especially in
Iowa and other Corn Belt States, have
risen with such rapidity that serious
consequences may be expected, especially
with the return to normal conditions,
says a timely communication of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Office
of Information, to the newspapers of
this state. The statement is meant
as warning to farmers who are think
ing Of selling their land.
Spectators, many of them business men
of the cities, in many cases have reaped
big profits by buying and reselling with
out making any substantial contribu-
ton in return. Farmers have sold land
at prices that seemed high, and then
have bought again at still higher figures,
losing thousands OF dollars in the en-
change. The bona fde farmer who
purchases land at present high prices
may find the returns on his invest
ment abnormally small if earnings should
decline when normal conditions are
restored, and may find himself seriously
embarrassed if he has financed the
purchase largely on credit.
That is a summary of the situation
as it is viewed by investigators of the
Bureau Of Farm Management sent by
the department into the regions of most
marked speculative activity. Here is
a summary of. their advice which is
broadly applicable probably to the
majority of farmers in the regions affect
ed, though it may not fit every individl-
al case: s.Aa
Much OF the present speculative ac-
tivity has been due to the fact that
spectators have been able to catch
some farmers unawares, buying their
farms at much lower figure than was
justified in relation to prices in adjoin-
ing regions. Therefore you should be
careful about selling to a SPECTATOR
who is buying to sell again. If it is
worth more to him it probably may be
worth more to you. If you own farm
and desire to continue farming be very
sure before selling that you can obtain
out Of the proceeds of your sale as good
farm as you have Sold
If you desire to purchase a farm you
should be very sure that the price you
pay is fully justified by the probable
net earnings of the farm when conditions
become more normal.
Be careful that the buyer Of your
farm is able to complete his payment
on March first in case he fails to resell
In general it is safe to require an mi
tial cash payment of one-third the sale
price.
Be cautious about specializing your
self. Especially do not buy on narrow
cash margin with the expectation that
you will be able to sell and obtain the
necessary means of settling your con
tract. You may not be able to effect
a SALE A land "boom'' may collapse
suddenly.
