to those whose ability in this regard may
be but limited or insufficient to enable
them to obtain the cultural effect Of this

For instance, it must be conceded as
impossible for a person capable Of but one

ion of all matters and conditions leading
up to the late war, the period Of the
conflict itself and the entrance of the
United States into the turmoil, all Of
which urge themselves in q strong appeal

necessary to also understand the German
version as advanced by themselves in its
purely German origin, uncolored and un
favored by any foreign element. #
The Northclid Press, Of mephiticial
memory, had successfully inaug ugurated a.
systematic propaganda Of international
lies, diabolically distorting all news sent
them from Germany and spreading their
falsehoods all over the world

NEW ULM GIRLS DEFEAT

In a fast girls game, which de-
veloped into a rough and tumble
tussle, the New Ulm Basketettes
vanquished the fast Lam berton aggre-
cation last Friday night at the local
gym. The game was furious and hotly
contested and both teams displayed
remarkable endurance and good team
work, but with the exception Of H.
Helm, very poor basket shooting. III.
Helm was the heavy shot for New Ulm
getting six field goals. Z. Schleuder
played sensational basket ball at
running center. She outjumped her
taller opponents and did much to bring
the easeore up to where it was. Lorna
would make an exceptional forward
and with Hildegard should make a
team unbeatable. The girls are play
ing basketball in a class by themselves
this year. It is doubtful If any team
in the state could defeat them. sk

5 Summary.
From the financial statement it is
: quite apparent that it requires con-
, siderable money to take care of the
peoples business in the matter of our
State, County, Township and School
government. The amount of taxes
raised in this county for State pur-
poses aggregated about one-seventh OF
the total tax collections; for County
purposes outside of the County Road
: and Bridge fund about one-tenth of the
total amount actually collected by
taxation. A trife more than one
:. fourth of all the taxes collected during
: the past year were apportioned among
: the various school districts for school
purposes and about the same amount
, was distributed among the various
cities, towns and villages. It is plain
Ito be. seen that if there is. to be any
: material reduction in taxes that eco
nomy must not only be practised in
the various city and school govern
ments but also in the management OF
: the affairs of the county and the State
