.BAV ARlAN GIRL
LIKES AMERICA
MISS BAYERL TELLS OF DIRE
WANT AND PRIvATIoN
IN BAVARIA. a
ExoRBITANT PRICES AND THE
DEFLATIoN OF MONEY
CAUSE HARDSHIP.

Heaven is the word Miss Therese
Bayerl, who arrived in America a week
and half ago, applies. to the Gland Of
the free Miss Bayerl came to New
4Ulm from Heideck, Bavaria, and is
making her home with her mothers
cousin, John Dengler on North Min
Inesota street.
Terrible privation and dire want,
she says, prevailed throughout Ba-
ivaria during the war, although the
portion OF the country in which Miss
tBayerl resided was not in the war zone.
Food was dealt out in scant rations
|and could be bought only upon the
presentation Of tickets, each ticket
being good for one portion Of some
|food-stuf, such as bread, meat, etc.
Each member Of a family was entitled
to such tickets, and when one. Of the
household died, the family endeavored
! to keep the death q secret, SO that the
meager rations for the deceased would
still be dealt out to them. Some
times, she states, shipments Of flour
were so delayed that people were on
| the verge Of; starvation before they
could get the palatable loaf Of bread.
At other times no food of any kind
was available, making the ration
tickets mere scraps Of paper. Wheat
bread was unknown throughout the
WAR, and butter was considered .
luxury. Miss Bayerl became so un-
accustomed to the use that she viii
mot be able to eat such food for ., long
time.
Hardships did not end with th,
cessation of the war. The ordinar!
lworkingman, says Miss Bayerl live
from hand to, mont th, and experience
/ difficulty, sometimes, in making th
hand reach the mouth. The defatio,
]. Of German money, due to the influx .
American coin through tourists fror
this country, has created exorbitan
prices. The pre-War value Of th
German mark was 23 cents, but ia
] been steadily decreasing 50 that
present q mark IS worth one third L
Ian American cent. Before her d,
tParture from her native land, Nj.
E Rayerl, who was seamstress
q Bavaria, made herself a dress Of hom
spun which cost her 500 marks.

MINERAL WATER SoFTENER TO
BE INSTALLED IN CITY
ELECTRIC PLANT.
SIMILAR SYSTEMS OPERATING
AT EAGLE MILLS, LoRETTo
AND LAUNDRY.

The city council of New Ulm voted
unanimously last Thursday evening to
buy a water .softener at cost, in.
stalled, Of about $500. This IS Of
the most approved style Of mineral
softener of the same kind as installed
in the Eagle Mills about FIVE weeks
ago. The purpose Of the softener is
to dc. away with the trouble Of scaling
in the boilers caused by hard water,
which, even with the use Of softening
compounds, netessitates thorough
cleaning Of the boilers every. two weeks
in the city's electric light plant.
Will Be Installed Soon.
The. new water softening system will
be installed inside Of thirty days. It
lis manufactured by the Wayne Tank
& Pump Company, Fort Wayne. In
diana. The same kind Of water soften
ing system has been in operation at the
Eagle Mills for about five weeks and
has proved very satisfactory. a 81;
milar system, differing only in that it
/ is slower working system, has been
I in operation at the New Ulm Steam
Laundry for two. years and its value
thoroughly tested out. The Loretto
Hospital has the same system as the
Laundry, which is the Refnite system.
The Wayne. system bought by the
lefty consists of.tWo tanks, 48x68 inches,
|Icontaining mineral looking something
Hike sand or gravel, and third tank,
|48x5O inches, containing salt brine,
THE first two tanks are the softene1
tanks. Only one is used at time
the other being kept in reserve to use
when the first is being reconditioned
Ibut both may be used if the size o.
the job requires it. The brine tank
! is used for reconditioning the minera
lin the softener tanks.
The mineral IN the softener tank con.

Cooperative marketing Of livestock
by Minnesota farmers through their
own agencies on the terminal market
has set d record for efficiency, economy
and satisfactory service unequalled in
the history Of co-operat ion in America.
That IS the report Of farmers COM
mittee, which is being received BY
farmers in this county this week. #
Farmers Get Full Value. h
81. That the Central Co-operatiye
Commission association, handling live
stock solely in the interest Of the farm
ers themselves, is obtaining full market
value for the stock it handles. 3
''2. That the Central association is
handling livestock just as efficiently
as any private firm and doing it at
considerably lower cost.
"3. That the Central association is
saving the farmers of the northwest
many thousands of dollars in cost Of
marketing by literally having forced
commission rates down.

81. That it is saving additional
thousands every month, for its patrons
by efficient, economical methods,
which have enabled it to set aside
$48, 900 in surplus in the first five
months of 1922, after paying out more
than $4,000 in dividends on Jan. ]
this year.
SO. Thatit has achieved at least one
result never before attained by farm:
ers Of the northwest, in that it has
helped to sta abilize the livestock market
at South st. Paul; has brought the
South St. Paul hog market closer te
the price level of the Chicago market
and enabled farmers to get more fol
their hogs at South St. Paul than wa

IS. That this result has beer

ity plain to everybody, is to follow the
law on so-called reasonable profit,
and provide a general minimum wage,
and follow all with minimum and
maximum price on the necessaries Of
life.,
Reasonable Profit Idea False.
A few feeble attempts have been
made for minimum wages. What
good will that do, unless price is alse
fixed on the necessaries of life for the
wage earners to pay? If you fix all
three, the reasonab BILE profit as it is now
called for capital, the minimum wage
and the price to be paid for the neces-
