Combine Votes.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 2S.-Arrange-
ments by the conservatives and coali-
tion liberals not to oppose one an
others candidates in certain constit-
uencies are given prominence in to-
days anti-coalition newspapers. As
they have 1t. the arrangements for CO.
operation or mutual incorporation
are spreading with an obvious drift
toward reinstating coalition in the
government.
1t is the contention Of the free lib
erals that this situation reveals that
to it's old policy. the only difference
being that 1t is in new hands. On
the tory side the extreme die hards
are clearly restive over this supposed
tendency.
Summed Up By Die Hard.
Their attitude was summed up yes
terday by a die hard candidate ad-
dressing the voters Of his district in
one Of the Yorkshire divisions. He
told them he would rather vote for

The central conservative executive.
hoping to stem the growing dissatis-
faction among the extreme elements
of the party, issued a statement de-

that entire freedom in the matter was
left to the local conservative asso-

many instances this action was taken
with a desire to prevent division OF
votes which might allow the laborite
candidate to achieve victory.

WAS BIG SUCCESS.

The New Ulm Fire Department has
every reason to feel gratified with the
support given them by the general
public at their annual dance held at
Turner Hall, New Years Eve. The
advance sale of tickets was most
gratifying and the number of people
at the dance exceeded the fondest ex-
pectations of the most hopeful. All
present at the hall seemed intent to
have good time and they succeeded
most admirably. The hope of better
times for 1922 and the thought of
getting rid of year that brought so
much misery and distress may have
spurred on everybody to be gay and
care-free and hopeful for better things.
There were less fremen in uniform this
year than last year. This is not
offered as criticism, but merely as a
suggestion and hint that great many
people would like to see the fire
laddies, who so faithfully protect them
against loss by fire, dreSse up in the
uniform of the volunteer fireman on an
occasion like Saturday night and pay
them the proper tribute and homage
that is due them.

. FRANK POLTA HERE.

Frank }. Polta, well-known former
resident resi- Of this city and for many
years member and officer in the New
iUlm Fire Department, returns co the
State Soldiers Home at Minneapolis,
today, after having enjoyed several
days visit with local relatives and
friends. Mr.. Polta is totally blind,
.butin spite Of his affliction manages to
remain cheerful and friendly, and It is
a. source of real pleasure to converse
with him. He is well satisfied with
the treatment accorded him at the
Soldiers Home and has nothing but
words OF praise for the management,
who always give him the kindest con-
sideration. Anyone not satisfied at
the Home must be a confirmed crouch,
says Mr.. Polta, who spends much of
his time weaving beautiful baskets Of
all kinds from rattan and Hongkong
twist. He promised to send us a
number Of samples, which will be dis
played in our show windows to be sold
to anyone desiring them. The money
received for these baskets will be sent
to Mr.. Polta by us. He does excellent
work and one must marvel at the ac-
curateness of it in view of the fact that
he is deprived Of his eyesight, life's
most priceless possession.

Congressman Schall Exposes
Dollar-Patriotic Tax-DodSers

In scathing arraignment delivered
during a recent speech in the House,
Congressman Thomas D. Schall of
Minnesota exposed the dollar-pay-
triotic tax-dodgers numerically. We
do not, as a rule, publish speeches de-
livered in the national lawmaking
body, but this one by the Gopher
States talented and fearless blind
representative, is worthy of reproduc-
ton, in part, at least. In addressing
the speaker of the House, Mr.. Schall,
among other things, said: tg
Shallow Patriotism Proven
''It is distressing to near the friends
of wealth heating themselves in vain
passion in their endeavor to prove that
raising the per cent Of tax will cause
decrease in revenue. They quote
figures showing the extent of shrinkage
which reveal two things. First, tht
real depth of patriotism of the men o
wealth, who gained most from the wa
and are now unwilling to shoulde
their share of it's burdens, and, second
that something is rotten in the stat
of Denmark in the enforcement OF ou
laws that tax-dodging can be so ex
tensively indulged in. If they Woul
dodge so per cent, it is perfectly ri
diculous on the face Of it to assert tina

TWO DAYS OF DAIRYING
IN COUNTY. NEXT WEEK
Short Courses Will Be Held at
Sleepy Eye Thursday and at
Hanska Friday.

According to an announcement by
County Agent Willis Lawson of Sleepy
Eye, the Dairy Extension Division of
University Farm will spend two dsys
next week putting on two dairy short
courses in Brown county. On Thurs
day, January IL, they will be at Sleepy
Eye and on Friday, January 13, at

These courses will be conducted by
L. V. Wilson, dairy specialist, who is
an Ames, Iowa, graduate and has been
in Minnesota the past four years. He
is being assisted by able dairymen,
who will give practical work to those
who attend. Efforts are being made
to have DR.. Boyd with them to speak
on contagious abortion and tuberculosis
in livestock. The main features en-
phasized at the short courses are di-
seases, feeding, care and management
of dairy cattle.
1t is hoped that the agriculture de-
partment in the new Sleepy Eye high
school will be completed in time for
holding the short course there, other
wise the work will be conducted in the
high school auditorium.
These dairy short courses are free
for all who wish to attend, and every
cne is cordially invited.

FIRE ] ! E. DES T|ROYS ! |,|.
A FARM HOUSE
MYSTERIOUS BLAZE CONSUME
BUILDING ON OLD Carl.
PRAHL HOME.
OCCUPANTS ARE IN. NEW ULM
WHEN FIRE OCCURS.
WAS INSURED.

A fire, the origin of which is shrouded
in mystery, destroyed the farm house,
on the old Carl Prahl place; about two
and half miles south Of New Ulm, in
Cottonwood township, between 8 and
9 o'clock, Saturday evening. The
present owner Of the farm, Henry
Steffen, who purchased it from the
Prahl estate last year, had left the place
about. a clock in the afternoon for
New Ulm, accompanied by his hired
man, Joseph Guldan, and Robert
Sieben Drummer and William Rewitzer,
who were chopping wood for him.
Passerby Sees Flames.
A. w. Meier Of Linden township
noticed flames in the burning house
while passing the place on his way to
New Ulm, shortly after 8 o'clock.
The structure was located near the
road in close proximity to the NJ. & ST.
L. railroad trestle across the highway.
Mr.. Meier observed that there was
apparently no one at home and hurried
to the Nick Metzen farm about half a
mile away, where he gave the alarm.
Neighbors were soon at hand, but could
save neither the building nor its con-
tents, due to the lack Of water and
other fre-fghting facilities. The
house burned down to the foundation.
The structure was insured for $1,000
and it's contents for $100, both policies
being in the Stark Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.
Investigate Blaze.
Deputy Fire Marshall j. B. Forster
was on the scene of the fire, Sunday,
to investigate conditions as to the pos
sible cause. Mr.. Steffen states that
there was no fire in the stoves when he
and his com panions left for New Ulm,
and is at loss to know what caused
the blaze. Monday afternoon, Mr..
Forster and Joseph j. Sperl OF Cotton
wood, adjuster for the insurance CON-
pany in that township, again drove out
to the ruins in another attempt to dis
cover the possible cause, but failed.
The matter is still being investigated
by the state fire marshalps department.
Had Sold Farm.
1t is reported that Mr.. Stetfen had
practically dis posed Of his farm through
his brother, Anton, but the necessary
papers to close the deal had not been
executed, so that he will have to take
the loss, which is considerable, as the
house was a.two-story structure, con-
tanning six rooms. The farm COM
prises 100 acres.

COW UPsETs LANTERN.

A fire, caused by an overturned Ian
tern in cowbarn on the Mertz farm,
north of Crosby, Mimi, resulted in
loss of $1,000. The. farm is operated
by A. L. MoonshoWer, who, while
milking, hung his lantern on wire.
One Of the cows knocked the lantern
down, and the barn took fire, being
completely destroyed. MoonshoWer
saved all but two Of his cows, but was
severely burned while doing so. He
had to tear his clothing off to save
himself from being burned to death.

FRIDAY.
INTERRUPTIONS IN ELECTRIC
LIGHT SERVICE CAUSE
INCONVENIENCE.

This section of the Northwest was
visited by a 50-mile gale, Friday eve
ming, which caused considerable por-
perty damage. Judging from reports
coming from Mankato, our city was
more fortunate than that place, for a
number of large plate glass windows
were broken, signs were blown down
and the telephone and electric wires
were badly crippled there, while the
extent of the damages done in New
Uhn was restricted to one broken
plate glass window. In some sec
tions of the city, large branches were
broken off from trees, but no material
loss has been reported.
Wind Crushes Window In.
One OF the large panes in the dis
play window of John H. Arbes' fur
niture and secondhand store on North
Minnesota street was blown in by the
high wind at about $50 o'cock Fri
day afternoon. The pane was seven
and a half by eight feet in size. II
was slightly cracked and this may have
caused it to weaken in the face OF
the heavy gale. The other large pane
in, the same window was broken last
summer, when a stone was accidently
thrown into it. Mr.. Arbes has his
show window plate glass insured in the
New Ulm Mutual Plate Glass Insur.
ance Company and the broken pane
will be replaced as soon as new one
can be secured. The opening has beer
boarded up temporarily.
Temperature near Zero.
The temperature hovered around thu
zero mark during the gale, which wa!
accompanied by a light rainfall ant
a little snow. In this city, the wine

MANY CASES OFF

LITIGANTS TLYTURNED
OVER THE PROVERBIAL
"NEW LEAF"
SUIT FOR DAMAGES AGAINST
G. & N. w. RAILWAY UP
YESTERDAY.

For time, yesterday, it looked as if
the adjourned term Of court, which HI d
convened that morning at 10 o'clock,
might be of short duration. The first
case for trial was that of Ella M. Blake,
by her mother, Hilda P. Hoffman,
against A. G. Anderson. After jury
had been empanelled and recess taken,
the attorneys got together and settled
the case, the defendant agreeing to pay
plaintiff $275 damages for alleged in
juries, and so reported to the Court.
The next case for trial was that of the
Farmers & Merchants State Bank of
New Ulm VS.. John H. Weddendorf ct
al. When that case WIS call ed, the
attorneys of the plaintiff announced
that they were not ready for trial and
that they would dismiss the case which
was done.
Then came the case of R. w. Zim-
norman VS.. Dan. Williams. The
plaintiff was ready to go to trial, but
the defendant was not and it was
agreed between the parties that the
case go to the foot of the calendar.
In the case of the Hartford Insurance
Co. VS.. the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway Co. jury was empanelled
yesterday afternoon and the trial of the
case begun. This case is apt to take
three 6aVS or moro To trV AhOut 40
witness will be examined. This is an
action brought against the railroad
company to recover damages for loss
of cattle while enroute on the de-
fendant railway company. The cattle
had been insured against loss in the
Hartford Insurance Co., which, being
satisfied of the business of the shipper S
claim, paid it and is now trying to re-
cover this amount from the railroad
company.
Since court adjourned in December
the case of August Guth VS.. the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway Co. was
settled. The case of John G. Wooldrik
VS.. Joseph E. Sayre was passed as
there is a settlement pending. The
case of Nekoline Hagen as administra-
trix vs.. Minneapolis & St. Louis RR
Co. has also been settled. There are
still eight jury cases to be tried and

sion not only this, but also next, week

MYSTERY SHR0UDS
BIG CLUB MEETING
ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE
BUSY PREPARING FEED
AND SMOKER.
LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECT
ED AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
MONDAY EVE.

1t was our good fortune to casually
overhear Chairman George w. Haynes
and his hechmen of the entertainment
committee of the New Ulm CONNER
cial Club discuss plans for the big
regular Club meeting to be held at the
Club rooms, next Monday evening
They were talking so earnestly that
they failed to notice the quiet approach
of the newspaper man, otherwise we
would not be able to even give sig at
intimation as to what the Club mem
bers can expect in the line Of enter
tainment at this big get-together.
Shrouded in Mystery.
Immediately upon seeing us, things
became so oppressively quiet that we
ventured an inquiry as to the cause,
but about all the reply we received was
a knowing smile on the faces of the
committee members. "Wait and seev'
was their aunnimous answer, so we
are not any better posted than any of
the other uninitiated Club members.
At any rate, looks sometimes speak
louder than words, and we gathered
from survey of their faces that the
committee members have something
unusual up their sleeve and expect to
spring it as a pleasant surprise at
the meeting.
Here's Just an Inkling.
Before being observed by the ardent
EXPLAINING committee members, we
overheard word or two occasionally
such as ''big feed" 900 per cent re
freshments, smoker and the like,
so that sort of gives us an iakling as tc
what to expect. Still, there may be
something in the entertaining line that
the committee is considering, and We
would not even venture a guess as tc
the nature Of the program. About the
only way to s'get in on the secret and
solve the deep mystery is to wait until
next Monday evening, when the cur.
tain will finally be lifted for the benefit
of the Club members. Let's go!
