inviting assistance. He has already
received an answer from Dell b.

ing that that post will lend its in

Rock Island will claim recogni-
ton and the right to the convention
on the grounds that this city was
one of, If not the first, in the state
to apply for a charter. 1t is also
alive and energetic, anxious to
prove the desirability of Rock Is
land as convention city.
The question of hotel accommo-

Il have q few fantastic ideas to
offer IN regard to beautifying our
city. Plant trees between side
walks along each street and ave-
nue. in the city. Have all the prop
erty owners along the streets, or
some expert, decide what trees
shall be planted. Different streets
may have different trees. Trees
must be Of good quality and uni
form in size. This would mean q
great sacrifice for some people.
They would have to chop down
trees not In uniformity with the
rule and plant new ones. All trees
should be trimmed whenever neces-
sary. It would look barbarous for
sometime but within 10 years and
in the future all sacrifices made
now would bear fruits wonderfully.
This should be done in the begin
ming when new parts of the city
are laid out. Try it on some
streets, watch the results and see
others following the example"

MINNESOTA DAILY STAR
SOON TO BE PUBLISHED
Victory in Effort to Establish Free
Newspaper Now in Sight After
Long Battle.

The Minnesota Daily Star is soon to
be reality and living force. Success
is in sight in the final big campaign to
establish the Minnesota Daily Star-to
establish it securely and firmly on a basis
on which it can endure as the champion
of truth and the rights of the people in
the Northwest.
A little over two months ago five
hundred of the stockholders of the North
west Publishing Company met in the
new Daily Star building in Minneapolis
for the purpose of hearing reports on the
progress of the work and of making re-
concentrations in regard to starting
date for the Daily Star. Considering
all the facts before them these 500 stock
were able that day to attend the meeting
called by the directors-made the re-
commentator of the Star should not be
begun until the project was we'll fortified
against failure, we'll equipped to meet
all attacks that would be made on it, to
meet all attempts that should be made
to cause it to fail
Theprogress made since this last meet
ing Of the stockholders especially so far
as the sale of additional stock is con-
cerned has been such that it justifies
prediction that the Daily Star will be
published in a very short time. Shortage
of print paper no longer will prevent
publication of the Star. The company
now has supply of print paper which
will last the Daily Star two or three
months of regular publication. Some
OF this paper was shipped from Norway,
Sweden and Finland.

BUREAU PICNIC
WELL ATTENDED
NO. 1 WAS SUBJECT
OF TALK BY COMMISSIONER
BABCOCK.
GEO. BERKNER PRESIDED AT
GATHERING HELD NEAR
SLEEPY YEE.

New Ulm was well represented at the
Brown County Farm Bureau picnic
held last Thursday afternoon at Domke' S
grove near Sleepy Eye District court
was adjourned Thursday noon to permit
Judge Albert johnson who is presiding
at this session to deliver one of the
speeches at the picnic. Some of the
jurors, attorneys and others also at
tended the picnic.
Hard Surface Roads.
The main object of the picnic was to
explain Amendment No. to the people
OF this section. Several speakers had
been asked to address the crowd on this
subject. The first speaker was Senator
G. H. McGarry of Walker and he ex-.
planned the advantages of good roads
from the standpoint of the farmer and
rural community member. He also
called attention to the present inadequate
condition of many rural roads in the
state comparing this with the present
needs of the marketing problem. The
latter could not be solved by the 5000
miles of railroad alone, he stated, but
that good roads are also essential in this
regard. The 1000 miles of proposed
hard-surfaced roads would greatly re-
lieve the present congestion, he added.
Judge Albert Johnson of Red Wing
and State Highway Commissioner C.lM
Babcock also spoke in favor of this pro
position. Mr.. Babcock is the father Of
the plan embodied in the amendment.
He explained that the three largest
cities in the state, Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Duluth would pay AZ per cent of
the tax to be levied and that they would
only receive back 8 per cent. He also
referred to the fact that Brown County
had spent 1895 forevery mile of road for
maintenance alone in 1919. jill. Mullen,
state highway engineer, explained some
of the details of the Babcock plan
Ask Farmers to Join.
Senator Schmechel of Kenville county
and Mr.. French, secretary Of the State
farm bureau, were the other speakers
at the picnic. They spoke on the ma
tlonal farm bureau movement explaining
its advantages and asked the farmers
to become members of the bureau. The
organization would be one of the means
to help them solve some of the problems
confronting them at the present time.
Geo. Berkner, president of the Brown
County Farm Bureau, presided at the
gathering and introduced the different
speakers.

NOW The ISSUE
CITY COUNCIL ARRANGES FOR
SALE OF BONDS IN
NEW ULM.
GAS RATE is INCREASED 40
CENTS PER 1000 CUBIC
FEET.

A special meeting of the New Ulm city
council was called last Wednesday even
ing to discuss the situation created by
the vote on the bond issue the day pre-
vlous. AS already reported in the last
issue OF the Review the citizens of New
Ulm decided IN favor of erecting the new
electric light and power plant by casting
a majority vote for the proposed bond
issue of $25O,00O.
Although the vote was light, the city
fathers are confident that there is enough
enthusiasm among our citizens that the
entire issue of $250,000 can be disposed
OF right here in the city and its vicinity.
It was pointed out that bond issue OF
this kind cannot be foated in the open
market. Several of the councillors also
called attention to the fact that a number
of citizens already have inquired about
the sac of these bonds and tits expected
that prospective buyers will soon show
up in great numbers. Those who wish
should visit City Clerk VIM. P. Backer
5Per Cent Per Annum.
New Ulm people should purchase these
bonds for two reasons, it was pointed
out First, they furnish a frst-c.ass in
vestment and second, the purchaser will
assist his municipality in one of its most
important undertakings. The interest
rate has.been set at 5 per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually and the bonds
are free from all taxes. They will
mature in period of ten years Further
arrangements for the sale of the bonds
will be made by the finance committee
which was authorized to take thesneces-
sary steps.
$1.so Per 1000 Feet.
The matter of raising the present gas
rate in the city of New Ulm was taken
up at the same meeting of the council
A request for a higher rate had been sub
mitted by the New Ulm Gas Company
about a month ago and a thorough in
vestigation of the situation was made
by special committee appointed by
President Krook This committees re-
port was submitted at a former meeting
of the council but the question was
left open at that time. At. the Wednes-
day meeting, however, the Gas com
pany was permitted to raise its gas rate
from $1.40 per 1000 cubic feet to 1.8O
per 1000 cubic feet. The increase
granted is about % per cent Of the former
rate. If the bill is not paid on or before
the fifteenth of the month the gross
charge for LOCO cubic feet will be $500.
For the large consumers, a sliding scale
of discounts was arranged. The. mini
mum charge Of fifty cents was not
changed.
City Attorney Albert Pfaender pre-
pared an amendment to the city
ordinance relating to the gas rate and
submitted same at a meeting held Thurs
day evening. 1t was passed by the
council members. The new gas rates
will take effect July 1st.
Play Ground Apparatus.
The school board asked for a permit
to erect play ground apparatus on the
public landing north Of the Franklin
school building. The permission was
granted.

vassed by the council.

Il Strong Wind Here.
tH The effect Of the storm was felt as far
south as New Ulm and vicinity The
damage caused in this neighborhood,
however, was very light. A few barns

phone and electric lines were put out of

barn in Sigel township was crushed BY
the heavy wind, making it necessary
for the owner to cut a hole in the side Of
the barn to get his horses out. Harvey

was still in the course of construction also
was damaged materially, while the 80
