NEW CHARTER.

S-4e present charter of the city of
Sleepy Eye has become obsolete and
is to be replaced with a brand new one,
according to the Sleepy Eye Herald
Dispatch. A charter commission was
appointed by the late Judge Webber
quite number of years ago, but of the
ID members designated, only three
are still on the commission, seven
having left the city, four having died
and one having resigned. Judge I. M
Olsen Of the district court, also one of
Judge Webber's appointees on the
commission, has appointed the follow
ing II new members: C. C. Hansen,
W. W. Smith, John M. Schroepfer,
c: P. Cutting, F. E. Beech, J. L.
Kiefer, George Glotzbach, DR.. J. W. B.
Welcome, Ed. F. Berkner, Editor W.
R. Hodges, William Brust and Martin
Casperson. The three original mem
bers are Hans Mo, Henry Offermann
and l.. G. Davis. 1t is proposed to
have draft of the proposed new
charter ready to be voted on by the
people of Sleepy Eye on April 5. The
commission holds sessions every We'd
nesday evening at 7:3O o'clock at the
City Hall to hear suggestions from
citizens and taxpayers with regard to
proposed changes or additions. The
city charter of New Ulm is more sadly
antiquated than the one of Sleepy
Eye, but nothing has ever been at
tempted in the line Of securing a new
charter, aside from discussing the
project at stated intervals.

RED CROSS
SEAL SALE
Report of 1920 Drive in the Cities.
Villages and Townships of
Brown County.

Considering all things financially,
the 1920 Red Cross Christmas seal sale
was a good sale.
Our allotment was $2,24210 Of
which we sold S1,1O7.33. Our sales
were mainly handicapped by the mis-
understanding of the general public.
Let us remember for next year that no
matter how many drives we may have
on we must not forget that this Christ
mas Red Cross Seal is ever the one
annual effort of the Public Health
Association, and each year the money
is spent for our own good. 1t is not
of the Red Cross Work as SO many
think. Remember that SIS per cent of
every dollar goes into the health work
of our own county; 40 per cent into
our state work and only per cent to
the national work.
Our officers are not paid, but give
their service wholly for the good of
the public, which says enough for the
fine staff of workers who had each
township and city of Brown county
1t is up to everyone who admires good
health, who wishes his friend and neigh
Dor prosperity for the new year to back
up that wish in reality by buying and
using the Double Barred Cross at
Christmas time so that no more little
letter shall say: Dear Santa, please

BRICK YARD SHUTS DOWN.

The A. c. Ochs Brick & Tile Co.
plant was shut down Saturday even
ing Owing to conditions in the build

products has been inactive and rather
than throw their men out Of employ
ment the company kept the plant
running up to now, manufacturing a

prove with the coming of spring so
that this leading industry may be
justified in operating. -Springfiezd

New Ulm review., 1921-02-23

farm life is great stuff to make Ameri-
cans, won't lessen the loneliness or de-
crease the monotony. And when
blocked ambitions, and intense crav-
ings finally break loose, there's often a
WRECK.
But there's no wreck in good art, in
libraries, in clean athletics, in COM
munity houses, in games at the family
freside by the members Of the family,
in decent social intercourse, Of boy and
girl, man and woman. On the other
hand, there are countless towns half
starved today because the chances for
all these things haven't yet been pro-
vided. So the low forms of amuse-
ments exercise their strong and vicious
pull.
A national organization, called Com
munity Service (Incorporated) with
headquarters at One Madison Avenue,
New York, has recently been formed
to try to help communities all over the
country furnish varied amusements
and recreations that all who wish can
share in and enjoy. It works on
Theodore Roosevelt's well-known
maxim: "This country will not be a
good place for any Of us to live in, until
it becomes good place for all Of us to
live in
One need Of every community is
clean, adequate chances to have good
times.

HE TOOK THE WRECK
OUT OF RECREATION!
by Q. F. LEWIS

Too many fatal accidents and wrekcs
were happening upon a big Western
railroad.
That railroad had, fortuntely, a wise
president. He studied the problem
hard then he built string of cheer
full, well-equipped clubhouses for en-
ployees, all along the line Of the road.
The men found that they could get
billiards, pool, cards, bowling, dancing
and association with women, some
where else than in gin mills. Accidents
on the road fell off materially.
The presid ent had taekn the
WRECK out of Recreation!
The president of a great transcon-
tinental railroad in Canada made
many years ago an unbreaklable rule:
''In case Of long delay or of bad acci-
dent, FEED THE PASSENGERS!'
Women sometimes say, facetiously,
about grouchy husbands; FEED
THE BRUTEp'
Mans body and Mans mind require
feeding on the right things. The salts
fed mind and the satisfied body make
the satisfied man. When the unsatis-
fed, or wrongly satisfied, longings Of
the railroad employees for RECREA-
TION we're given decent chances to
find pleasure, it took the WRECK out
of situation. When the delayed or
grouchy passengers could eat, they be-
came more amiable, more tolerant.
Strange how all-embracing in human
life the longing for pleasure and amuse-
ment is! We work to live, not live to
work. And when men say: "Ah,
now I am livingw they mean they
have reached moments Of intense en-
joyment.
The motion picture business is said
to be the fifth largest industry in the
United States. If all commercial
amusement undertakings were Jumped
together, perhaps Amusement"
would be our biggest national industry.
There are fewer people on Iowa
farms today than there were ten years
ago. But there are millions more
people each year walking up and down
under the glaring lights of the "Great
White Way" in New York city. Why?
Because cities are places where
things are going on
The supplying Of adequate and de-
cent recreation is getting to be a
problem of every community. Crime
is seen to be issuing more and more
from unhealthy, dangerous forms of
recreation. Behind pretty nearly
every felony can be seen the desire to
have money to purchase some form Of
a good time Much of our recrea-
tion in this country contributes to
making WRECKS.

GERMAN IN WASHINGTON.

We wonder how the following ever
escaped the eagle eye of the perverted
editor of the Minneapolis Tribune. It
appeared in Fridays issue of that
paper:
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE study OF
German, barred from the schools OF
Washington in 1917 through action OF
Congress, will be resumed next year.
The Board Of Education today an
nounced it had approved text books to
be used.
Congress, in the First District of
Columbia appropriation bill, passed
after the breaking off of relations with
Germany, included a stipulation that
none of the school funds thereby made
available should be used in the teaching
OF German. This stipulation was not
made in later appropriation measures.
