FINAL ADOPTION
OF il BUILDING [|ilj / j PLAN Ri 4
CITY COUNCIL HEARS PREsEN-
TATIoN OF ARCHITECT.
CALLS FOR BIDS.
FORMER LIQUOR DEALERS ASK
REFUND OF FULL LIZ
CENSE FEE.

At the last regular monthly meeting
Of the New Ulm City Council, which was
held last week Tuesday, Architect Silas
jacobson of st. Paul presented plans
and specific cations for new municipal
power plant. He explained them in
detail to the council members who. after
some discussion decided to adopt them.
The plans submitted include. specifca-
tions of the equipment as. well. The
clerk was instructed to advertise for bids
which are returnable on May Is: The
question OF building the new plant will
be decided after the bids have been
opened.
Ask Refund.
The former saloonkeepers in the city
were represented by Attorney ALI w.
Mueller at the council meeting, who
in the name of the ex-Gquor dealers
Of the city asked the council to refund the
full amount Of the license money cover
ing the period from July /, 1919, to April
Is, 1920. It will be remembered that
about two months ago the city fathers
decided to return the license, fee for
the period Of July i, 1919, to January Is,
1920, the time when war prohibition
was in force. 1t was pointed out at the
time that the state law as passed at the
last session of the legislature leaves lit
to the local authorities to decide on the
return Of the license fee, making it clear
that the. city is not legally bound to a
refund Of the money. There may be a
moral obligation, however, in case some
promise was made the liquor dealers in
regard to the return of their fees. The
amount covering the period from January
is to April ] 5 this year which was not
included in the refund and which is now
claimed by the ex-saloonk keepers is s1S7 i
SO for each license, or one-follrth Of the
total in the sum Of $3.50.
Park Board Report Submitted.
The park board, whose members are
j. M. Arbes, Chas. Vogtel and N. Hen

to the. council. According to the report
there is a balance in the treasury at

Use No Old Stock.

Formaldehyde loses its strength rapid
ly when the original packages have once
been opened If you have some left over
from last year you had better throw it
away as. it may be little better than 50
much water. For what a supply Of fresh
goods will cost you cannot afford to take
the risk of,using any old, stock, The best
way to buy tornado is IN the
original bottle which has been sealed at
the factory. It, should show a percentage
OF at least 81 per cent formalin.

How To Treat Grain.

this solution over the grain, stirring the
grain allsthe# time to make sure; it fgets

conical pile and cover with sacks or
canvas for few hours or over night.
Sow Immediately or else spread out to
dry. Stir often to hasten drying. The
grain may swell a little SO t8will be
necessary for you to open up your drill
! to get the desired rate.of seeding Re,
member it is the formalin gas circulating
through the pile of grain that does the
trick. Therefore the pile Of grain must
be covered. Everything used in hand
ling the has, been. treated
/ should be Wetted thoroly with the same
solution ora stronger one. The success

Smut, is 4one. of the greatest profit
takers in small grain raising, says +. NJ.
Bane, county agent, in a communication
to the press in the county. Still it is
something that can be controlled and
practically eliminated. In 1913 it was
estimated that farmers Of Brown county
lost around $3OO,OOO on the smut they
raised $1,000 to $1,000 invested in
formaldehyde and used properly would
have saved this big loss. Last year quite
an interest was taken in treating seed
grain but still a large number of people
who would have treated, could not do so
because Of the shortage Of formaldehyde.
This year the druggists of the county
have laid in larger stocks but when the
present supply is gone there is no chance
to get more Therefore it behooves
everyone to lay in a supply early. The
price this year will be about the same as

The Cost.

Through a mistake on the part of some
one some posters were printed and dis
tributed giving the price of Tornado
hyde as thirty-fve cents pint. It
cannot be sold at this price because the
wholesale price. is. far above this figure.
If your druggist charges you seventy
FIVE cents pint he is not profiteer.

Some Democrats Turn.

resolution was 243 to $50.
Some Democrats Turn.
Twenty-Five Democrats joined with
the Republican majority in supporting
tie resolution and two Republicans voted
against it's adoption.
Democrats voting for the resolution
were: Ashbrook, Caldwell, Dooli ing,
Cullen, Gallivan, Ganley, Goldfogle,
Huddleston, McKiniry, McLane, Mahr,
O'Connell, O'Connor, Pell, Hamill, Oh
ney, Sherwood, Sullivan, Tague, Carew,
Evans OF Nevada, and Mead.
Republicans opposing it were: Full
Ter, Massachusetts, and Kelly, Michigan.
Substitute Is Voted Down.
Before adopting the resolution, the
House voted down a motion by Repre-.
sentative Flood of Virginia, the ranking
Democrat Of the foreign affairs commit
tee, to send the resolution back to that
committee with instructions to. report
ont substitute repeating all war time
acts.
The vote on that motion was III for,
and 222 against.
Chairman Porter of the foreign affairs
committee, asserted after the roll call
that twenty more votes would carry the
resolution over presidential veto.
Democratic members, however, said
vote on that question would see party
alignment virtually intact.
Vote Ends Bitter Debate.
The vote ended two-day battle OF
words in the House. The rule was rigid,
preventing all attempts at amendment
of the resolution put forward by Re
publicans or Democratic offers of sub
stitutes. Only the recommitment mo-
ton was accepted and there was no pre-
liminary presentation of the Democratic
proposal.
Representative Longworth, Repub-
lican, Of Ohio, was particularly sharp in
his reference Friday to President VIII
sons attitude on the League Of Nations,
b 81
which he described as an ''un-American
monstrosity."
Majority in Senate.
In the senate the resolution is. ex-
pected to have the united support of the
Republican majority and at least three
Democratic votes. Public hearings pro
baby will be held on the resolution, but
it is the intention of the Senate con
mittee on foreign relations to whom TIT
resolution was referred to devote some
time to its consideration. 1t will b
taken up today, Wednesday, according
to an announcement by Senator Lodg
Of Massachusetts,, chairman of the com
nlittee.
