THOUSANDS ARE

Pittsburgh People Do This to Avoid
Moving-General Increases In
Rent In the City.

PITTSBURGH, Feb 2S-More than
10000 Pittsburgh families bought
their homes during the past year, not
because they were particularly anxious
to own their own homes. but. accord
ing to real estate men, they had to
buy or move. This IS continuing at the
same rate thus far this year.
The home buying movement began two
years ago when war activities in the
mills brought scores of families into a
community where housing accommoda
tions had been increasingly scarce for Il
number of years. Cost of construction
increased and this curtailed building
operations
Rents have increased in proportion,
small houses and apartments showing
the highest percentage. Fifty per cent
raises for the coming year are said to
be common, while in some instances
100 per cent has been asked and paid
where the occupant could afford it.

places are not, is the way one real

USE FARM HAMPERS
IN CONNECTICUT
New Plan for Getting Products from
the Farm to the City Table By
Using Trolley cypress.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 2S-An
experiment in the use of the hamper
for carrying products of the farm from
the farmer to the city householder. is
being tried out III Connecticut The de-
partment of agriculture has approved
the idea which is patterned on that Of
the parcel post rural service. The
street railway express is the medium
of transportation. not the mails
A farmer may take orders by tele
phone or mail, ill up a hamper and de-
liver it to the street railway company
which maintains an auxiliary express
service along its lines with automobile
delivery in the cities. Eggs, poultry,
potatoes. apples and other farm pro-
duets. ordered over the wire. may be
delivered in a few hours with as much
care as a marketman in town gives to
his city customer.
The New Haven County Farm Blu
reau, which for year has studied To-
cal marketing, by survey found the
possibilities Of the trolley express were
such as to Develop a farm to table
delivery by means of home ham
per Connecticut is gridironed with
trolley lines. Tens of thousands of
farmers can see cross country trolley
lines pass. Express ears pick up way
side freight or express matter at any
stepping place. Hampers made up in
Milford were delivered in New Haven
and Bridgeport, within two hours. OF
in as short an interval as city mer-
chant makes his local deliveries
The plan contemplates use of a uni
form hamper of varying sizes. easily
handled as express, recognized by ear
crews and automobile drivers as con.
tanning foodstuffs with the possibility
of perishable articles. like dressed poul
| try, or breakables, like eggs.
Experimental hampers hold enough
food to last a family several days. Sue
cess of the plan depends largely upor
the initiative of farmers in securing
customers who are willing to have dc
livery made in this way.

two-fold purpose of securing insurance

There was written the first six months
over $2,000000 of insurance for Yer

ROAD, ROUTE IN LAFAYETTE
CHANGED BY COUNTY BOARD
I s j
Busy Session of Commissioners Held
at St. Peter Last Week.--County
Ditch Authorized.

At meeting. Of the Nicollet county
commissioners at St. Peter, Monday of
last week, the sum of $375 was appro-
priated to assist the town board of
Lafayette township in Strengthening and
changing the route of a road in that
township. This road commences at
the southeast corner of the southeast
quarter of section 25 and will terminate
in the public highway running north and
south on the town line between Lafayette
and Bernadotte townships. The ownerd
of the land through which the road will
pass are Claus A. Swanson, Carl Sporer
and Henry Wrede. Twenty in
terested landowners had petitioned for
the improvement of the road.
The final hearing in. the matter Of the
proposed county ditch No. 70 in Belgrade
township was held and the viewers and
engineers report was read and accepted.
Due to the fact that but very little oppo-
sition was apparent, the county board
authorized the construction of this ditch.
A number of other matters Of minor
importance were disposed of by the
board before adjournment.

SHABBY TREATMENT OF
HECKER CIRCLE LADIES
Free Use Of Armory for Memorial
Day Dinner to Neterans4is Denied
Them by Management.

Where are the 1O1 per cent super
patriots of whom we heard so much
during the World war. and who attemped
| to dictate to the people of New Ulm as
to how they should conduct themselves
toward the government and toward the
returned Doughboys?
Their patriotism is, apparently, only
skin deep, especially when it can afford
them no pecuniary or other gain. 81
L This fact is bought forcibly to mind
by the shabby treatment accorded the
ladies Of Hecker Circle Of the G. A. r.
by the management of the local Armory,
which refused them the free use of the
dining room in the big temple, erected
to the god Of militarism, for serving the
accustomed annual dinner to the Civil
war vererans Of Heckere Post, G. A. r.,
following the Memorial Day program this
year.
The Armory management, like the
city council, apparently see no personal
use to which they can put the battle.
SCARED heroes Of 1861, and so these
veterans and. their loyal friends, the
ladies of the Hecker Circle, are left, to
shift for themselves as. best they may in
search of suitable quarters to hold their
meetings and enjoy their annual Memoir
ial Day dinners. The ranks are thinning
rapidly and the few remaining men of
Lincoln's anti.slavery army are old and
feeble. The least that. we can do for
them in recognition Of what they once
did for US is to provide them with the
apparently Insignificant little attentions
that gladden. the hearts. Of the aged.
Are there no men in New Ulm who
will rush to the aid Of the ladies of the
Hecker Circle and obtain for them, free
of charge, the use Of the Armory or some
other suitable place to serve their annual
Memorial Day dinner to the local veter-
ans Of the Civil war? We hope sol

N EN- LABOR. UNION.
ORGANIZED R. IA \ Z. ] J FRIDA |: R Y
GOODLY NUMBER OF YOUNG
MEN ATTENDED MEETING AT
CREAMERY HALL.
OFFICERS WERE ELECTED FOR
ENSUING YEAR. SPIELMANN
DELIVERED TALK.

/ The number of New Ulm's labor
unions was increased by one last Friday
evening at a meeting held at Creamery
hall under the auspices of the New Ulm
Central Labor Union. The meeting
had been called for the purpose of re
organizing the Federal Labor Union
No. 1908 and goodly number of young
men not yet belonging to any Of the
local labor organizations and some mem
sbers Of other unions answered the call.
Jos. Klaus, president of the New. Ulm
Central Labor Union, called the meeting
to order and presided during the organi-
|zation. He stated that the purpose OF
the proposed organization was to bring
the men Of all crafts not yet organized
together to better their working condi-
|tions and for higher wages. AS soon as
there are enough men of one craft to
form a separate organization they will
start new body, Mr.. Klaus said. Other
local unions have helped to increase the
ages Of the New Ulm workingmen, he
added. Furthermore, he said, if people
want to bring about a healthy change
in their present conditions they will find
that they cannot do it Individually, but
that they will have to work together
to attain their object. Concluding his
remakrs Mr.. Klaus stated that, if pro-
|perly organized, labor would be strong
81
enough to move the world.
Jean Spielmann Speaks.
The chairman's remarks were followed
by talk by Jean e. Spielmann, inter-
national organizer for Flour Mill and
Brewery workers, on What Does Or
sganized Labor Stand For?" He re-
ferred to the mushroom" growth Of
organized labor in New Ulm and stated
that there is still some opposition to
union labor in this city. American in
dustrials who employ men for IL hours
a day or who employ girls for 81 or SIS
a week are worse enemies to society than
the Russian Bolsheviks, he said. After
giving some lucid figures on the profiteer-
ling in America during the war period,
the speaker admonished his hearers to
join the proposed Federal union.

declared their willingness. to join the
new organization the. following officers
