 Tomorrow (Saturday) will be Civic Federation Tag day and those who are interested in the welfare and prosperity of this unusually fine organization are anxious that all residents of the town be reached for contributions as generous as may be possible in each individual case. This year the federation faces the neces- eity of losing two large annua sub .scriDtieHs because of the industrial de pressien that has been felt hereabouts during tho past year. Each of these an nusi subscriptions amounted to $1O9, and the fact that they will not be forthcom- ing this year makes it incumbent upon the federation officers to plead for more generous giving by individuals
 Mrs. F. H. Reach, chairman In charge Of the tag day drive, says that $500 is the smallest amount that the townspeo- pie should give for the worthy cause presented. She is hopeful of getting much more. and will bend every effort 70 that end

mend 1t to each and every person at all interested in the well bs:ng of fellow crea- lures. It brings sorely needed aid and care, into homes that would be thorough ly desolated but for it's splendid work. The dollars the public give to the Civic federation are each and every, one ded- icated to the relief of suffering .humani- ty, and dollars can be devoted to no bet ter purpose. A tag on ones garment tomorrow will be an evidence of a gene rous heart within.
 Following many warnings against the practice of riding bicycles on sidewalks within the borough, Chief John McFar land took a youth,: 16 years of age into custody Thursday afternoon and caused his presentation before the town court, where a fine of 100 and costs was i'm posed. The arrest was made on Me chanic street, one of the thoroughfares where there has .heen persistent violation of the rule against Sidewalk riding of bicycles. Ghtef MdFSrlandls says that other arrests will follow, for the public is insistent that the place for bicycle riding is in the streets and no on the sidewalks.

COURT DECIDES
FOR YOUTHFUL EMPLOYE,
Sanborn Farmer Must Pay Large
Sum to Boy Who Lost Arm Whiles
Running Mover.

Burton Clark, l4-year-old boy,
lost his arm while cutting grass with a
mower in the meadow Of Martin Goche,
a farmer residing near Sanborn, on
August p, 1919. The injured lad
Brought suit for damages, claiming
that his employer was negligent in
furnishing him defective mower with
which to cut grass on rough ground,
causing him to become dislodged from
the seat Of the machine and to fall in
front of the sickle.
The trial jury in Redwood county
district court at Redwood Falls award
ed the plaintiff $4,5OO5as damages and
the State Supreme Court has affirmed
the verdict. In this decision, the high
tribunal sets forth that the boy was
too young to comprehend the danger
and that he did not, as matter Of law,
assume the risk inherent in the work.
People employing children to do a
mans work may save money if every
thing goes right and there is no acci-
dent, but they are taking long chances,
as is evidenced by the case cited above.

MONDAY WAS BUSY DAY
IN LOCAL POLICE COURT
One Speeder and Three Disorderly
Persons Nabbed by Police and
Pay Fines.

City Justice George Hogen was kept
quite busy, Monday afternoon, when
no less than four malefactors were
brought before him for punishment.
One was case of speeding, while three
offenders were docketed for disorderly
conduct. All four arrests were made
by Chief of Police Alvin Harmening.
Albert Olson Of st. James evidently
thought that the streets of New Ulm
provided an excellent opportunity to
test out the speed Of his car. He
ventured upon this dangerous under
taking while in this city, Sunday,
probably laboring under the delusion
that the police force was enjoying its
day OF rest. The eagle eye of the law
observed him, however, and he was
promptly arrested. "Ten dollars fine
and SIS costs,'' was Justice Hogen's
verdict upon receiving Olson's plea Of
guilty.
The three cases of disorderly con-
duct which occupied Justice Hogen,
Monday afternoon, were those of
George Trautmiller, John Affolder and
John Wurm. They plead guilty and
fines were imposed upon them by the
court as follows: Trautmiller, $40
and costs; Affolder, SIS and 81 costs,
and Wurm, $40 and 50 costs.

JUDGE I. M. OLSEN FILED AN
ORDER TO THIS EFFECT
LAST FRIDAY.

The suit instituted by County

damages for alleged false arrest and
prosecution, will be tried during the
approaching May term of court, UNI

cause.
Change of Venue Denied.
Judge I. M. Olsen OF the district
court filed an order with Clerk of Court
Carl 2. Manderfeld, Friday, denying
Mr.. Erickson's motion for change of
venue, which was entered by the latter
when the case came up for disposition
at the opening of the December court
term last year. Judge Olsen's order
reads as follows:

JULIUS KRAUSE
new ASSESSOR
ONLY ONE CHANGE MADE IN
APPOlNTEES BY MAYOR
AND COUNCIL.
CITY JUSTICE GEORGE HOGEN
REFERS TO TRAFFIC IN
"MOoNsHINE."

Only one change was made in New
Ulm's official family, as constituted
by appointments by the mayor and
the city council, at the initial meeting
OF the city fathers, last Tuesday even
ing, following the recent election. This
change was in the assessorship and
came as considerable of surprise to
many of our citizens, who had ex-
pected that Mayor L. A. Fritsche
would re-appoint P. H. Furth. It
seems, however, that quite large
number of complaints have arisen as
to the alleged inequality of some
personal property tax assessments,
and it may be possible that these COM
plants had some bearing upon the
assessorship.
Julius krause, Assessor.
Our well-known fellow-townsman
julius Krause was given the job of
fixing the personal property values
upon which taxes will be paid next
year, and the mayors choice apparent
ly met with the approval Of the city
council, for they unanimously placed
their 0. K. upon it. Mr.. Krause is
we'll versed in property values and
promises to perform his official duties
as impartially as it is possible for any
human being to do. He attended the
annual assessors meeting at the court
house., Thursday, and secured much
valuable information from the repre-
sentative of the State Tax Commits
sion. His appointment seems to meet
with the approval of the citizens
generally.
Salaries Unchanged.
After confirming the mayors ap-
pointments and making those which
devolved upon themselves, the city
fathers decided not to change the salar-
les of any city officials or employees,
which, accordingly, remain the same
as last year. The only exception is in
the amount of compensati ton the as
SCISSOR will receive, which was reduced
from $500 to $500, owing to the fact
that there will be no real estate assess
ments to make this year. The amount
of salary received and bonds to be
furnished by each of the city officials
is as follows:
