ANTI-RAT CAMPAIGN.

The anti-rat campaign in Mime
apolis has had excellent results, ac-
cording to F. L. Washburn of the Di-
vision of Entomology and Economic
Zoology at University Farm. Many
hundreds of these pests have been
killed by using barium carbonate with
the proper bats and, as consequence,
much money has been saved the city.
It is hoped the good work will not be
confined to Minneapolis, but that other
towns in the state will wage war
against these expensive pests. Re
Gently issued circulars on poisoning
rats and mice will be mailed by the
Division of Publications, University
Farm, to any cituzens requesting them,
and the Division of Entomology and
Economic Zoology will be glad to CO.
operate with any community planning
such campaign.

RED LETTER EVENT.

A red letter event in moving picture
entertainment may be noted when
the film entitled, "The End of the
Road appears at the Grand Theatre
on Saturday and Sunday, May 21
and %.
Beyond a doubt the lesson to be
learned from what may aptly be
termed "a picturized attractive story
of an unpleasant subject" is one that
is timely and fruitful.
1t teaches moral cleanliness, pure
attitude of mind frankness in explain
ing Natures laws, and all in a forceful
and direct manner, yet with such
sweetness and wholesomeness that it's
appeal stands forth like friendly
beacon to guide unthinking humans
Alright.
'The End of the Road is produced
by Public Health Films and is ap-
proved by the Minnesota State Board
of Health, and is a strong warning
against contamination.

OFFICIAL COW TESTING
MAKES GREAT INCREASE
162 Animals, Representing 50
Herds, Are on Honor Roll at
the University Farm.

M. H. Fohrman of Univ. Farm,
superintendent of official testing of
cattle herds in Minnesota, reports that
more test work was completed the first
nine months of the present fiscal year
than during the entire previous year.
In March 1852 cows or 20.7 per cent of
the total number, 1872, under test made
the honor roll. To get on this roll a
COW must produce four pounds or more
of butterfat in two days. The 162
honor roll animals represented SO
herds.
"With more than one-ffth of the
COWS on yearly test producing at the
rate of so pounds of butterfat or better
a month"; says Superintendent Fohr-
man, "there is every indication that
some excellent long time records will be
hung up within the next year"
OF 257 seven-day records reported in
March, 101, or approximately 40 per
cent, were over 20 pounds of butter; 43
were over rs pounds of butter; and Is
produced more than 80 pounds in the
seven days.

FIRE LOSSES DECREASE.

There were 237 fires with total losses
aggregating $333,68O in Minnesota

ported during March, this year, II
were in Minneapolis with losses of

sulting in damage aggregating $12,7OO,

AUTO LOSES WHEEL.

While Warren H. Bond of Lakefield,
son-in-law of Mayor and Mrs. L. A.
Fritsche was driving his Ford north
on Minnesota street, late Sunday
afternoon, a steering rod broke and he
lost control of the machine. The auto
veered to the right and ran into the
curb in front of Councillor Karl H.
Aufderheide's home, Minnesota and
Fourth North streets. One of the
front wheels was demolished, as was
the tire on the right rear wheel, which
scraped against the curbing. Forum
ately the car stopped and Mr.. Bond,
the only occupant, escaped injury.
The damage was repaired and he re-
turned to Lakefeld the same evening.
Mr.. Bond had come to New Ulm to
spend Sunday with Mrs. Bond, who
has Ieen visiting at the home Of her
parents for about month.

NO SUNDAY FAIR.

Acting on the resolution adopted
by the Legislature at it's closing
session, members Of the fair board
voted, Friday, to close the Minnesota
State Fair to the public on Sunday,
September 4. The action came in
directly as elimination of con-
certed efforts by clergymen Of the
Twin Cities to bring about stricter
Sunday observance as far as the
State Fair is concerned. The board
decided to put on a complete enter
tainment and educational program
at the State Fair, Saturday, Sep
tember 8, the opening day. APP
proximately 100000 will be ex-
pended this summer for permanent
improvements at the State Fair
Grounds.

The new administra ton of Mankato
is now wrestling with the Northern
States Power Co. relative to renewing
the contract which the city has with
the latter concern for furnishing street
lighting and power for pumping the
city's water supply. Why doesn't
Mankato join the ever-increasing rank
of up-to-date Minnesota communities
who have emancipated themselves
from, or refused to sell out to the
electric; rust?" Such action would
no doubt be greatly appreciated by the
ultimate consumer" Come on in,
Mankato, the waters fine!

THRESHERs' INSURANCE

Owing to the high cost Of casualty
insurance in the old-line companies, the
Minnesota Brotherhood of Thresher-
men, at a meeting recently held in
Minneapolis, organized mutual casual
insurance society, to be known as the
Minnesota Threshermaen's Mutul In
surance Association. In addition to
employers liability insurances, the
new organization will also provide
protection for it's members against loss
and damage by fire and tornadoes, thus
carrying all forms of insurance in their
own company. The home offices of the
Association will be in Mankato. The
first officers elected are: President,
II. c. Gildemeister, Gaylord; vice
president, F. A. Monson, Nicollet;
secretary, H. T. Gems, Mankato;
treasurer, F. D. Morrill,, GAINESVILLE.

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is being
prosecuted by the sycoplantic press as
the "arch traitor" king of draft
evaders," ETC., but very little comment
is made by the same newspapers on the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court, which seated United States
Senator-elect Newberry, who secured
his seat in the upper branch of Congress
by means of the vilest kind of graft.
If Bergdoll is traitor, we wonder in
what category Michigan's new senator
should be placed.

COIN FISHIN'?

Sunday marked the opening of the
fishing season and a grand exodus of
disciples of Isaak Walton from this
city, in spite Of the rather chilly
weather. Those of the local fishermen
who were able to locate quiet hooks
along the rivers reported more or less
numerous catches. New Ulm anglers
have long been anxiously awaiting the
opening of the season, which was de-
layed two weeks through new law
passed by the last Legislature. They
had hoped for more congenial weather
for the oepning day, especially because
it happened to be Sunday.

Many a married man is watching
with great interest the trial of suit
IN st. Paul, which has been instituted
by resident of that city to recover
$4OO which, he claims, his wife ex-
tracted from his pockets while he was
asleep. It would be interesting to
know whether this "wad' represented
the plaintiffs earnings" during
session at the green table earlier that
night? On the other hand, the suit
should determine, once and for all,
whether friend wife has unrestricted
access to her husbands pockets when
in search Of coin of the realm. What
difficult task for the presiding Judge
to decide these and many other
poignant questions that arise in this
connection!

Official paper OF New Ulm, MINI.
Mark Ta0aan On War.

The following excerpt from Mark
Twain's ''The Mysterious Stranger y
while intensely interesting and illum-
mating at this time, might have caused
the persons arrest and prosecution
who would have had the temerity to
publish it at the hight of the wartime
fury. Read it and reflect:
Look at you in war-what mutton
you are, and how ridiculous. The
loud little handful-as usual-will
shout for war. The pulpit will
warily and cautiously - object - at
first; the great, big, dull hilk of the
nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try
to make out why there should be a
war, and will say, earnestly and in
dignantly: 1t is unjust and dishonor-
able, and there is no necessity for it. ,
Then the handful will shout louder.
A few fair men on the other side will
argue and reason against the war
with speech and pen, and at first will
have hear ng and be applauded; but
it will not last long; those others will
out-shout them, and presently the
anti-war audiences will thin out and
lose popularity. Before long you will
see this curious thing: The speakers
stoned from the platform, and free
speech strangled by hordes of furious
11ybn in fhair hoo rt,
still at one with those stoned speak
ers-as earlier-but do not dare to
say so.
"And now the whole nation-pulpit
and all-will take up the war-dry,
and shout itself hoarse, and mob any
honest man who ventures to open his
mouth; and presently such mouths
will cease to open.
Next the statesmen will invent
cheap lies, putting the blame upon the
nation that is attacked, and every
man will be glad for those conscience
soothing falsities, and will diligently
study them, and refuse to examine any
refutations Of them; and thus he will
Dy and by convince himself that the
war is just, and will thank God for the
better sleep he enjoys after this
grotesque self-deception."
How prophetic good old Mark
Twain was! His description of wars
undertaking, as quoted above,
fits to nicely the conditions existing
in theUnited States prior to and after
we had entered the World conflict.
And who will dare deny that Mark
Twain was beside the mark or exag
gerated in his description?

There is grave danger of losing our
capacity for self-government as a re-
suit of uper-abundance of restricting
legislation that is being foisted upon
us nowadays. But that may be
just the goal that our rulers are aiming
for. To perpetuate their rule, sthey
must convince us that we are unfit to
govern ourselves. The question is,
will the American people calmly allow
themselves to be emasculated in
tellectually, morally and politically
by the political pilferers now in power?

Aside from the S1,651.191.

Aside from the $1,651,191, which
represented the expenses Of the Ameri-
can Peace Commission which went to
Paris, we lost a perfectly good set of
Fourteen Points, brand new and
without a blemish, in the general
scuffle which ensued there. And to
think that the entire result of the
peace conference wasn't worth the
proverbial thirty cents!

"There were no radical disturbances

then, most of our reds are yellow"
Apparently St. Peters midget major

premeditatively circulated by the lingo
press prior to May day.

The armament interests and big
navy Jlngoes are determined to scare
the nation into a preparedness fever
that will materially assist them in
bringing about another "last war;
for the benefit of the pay-triotic pro-
fiteers. And, apparently, the pre-
paredness crowd has it all it's own way,
for the American people do not seem
to desire to be adequately repre-
sented in the councils where their
destinies are decided. Still you will
find men and women among us who
continue babbling of democracy and
self-determination! Wonder what
they really mean?!
New Ulm review., 1921-05-18

The Australians, who are now in
possession of former German New
Guinea, report that they have dis
covered gold there. What blessing
that New Guinea has been made
"safer for democracy" before the
Germans got hold of that gold to use
it to bolster up their autocratic system
and their militarism! That gold, we
are sure, will now be used to make
our world a paradise for those who
fought to make it a fit place for civil
lied people to live in. At any rate,
that's the way we use our gold here in
the good old U. S. A.
