State Firemen to
Meet at New Ulm

An executive committee of the New
Ulm Fire department has been busy
for the past several weeks, making
elaborate preparations for the 54th
annual convention of the Minnesota
State Fire Department association
which is to be held here, Tuesday
and Wednesday, June Is and 16. Due
to the large number of important
matters that will come up for dis
cussion, this promises 20 be one OF
the outstanding conventions in the
history of the organization.
It is expected that some 1000 dele
gates of fire department companies
throughout the state will attend the
business sessions of the gathering,
and in addition thereto, numerous
visitors will come to New Ulm during
that time. Once before, in 1912, this
city was host to the state firemen, an
honor much sought by every wide
awake community. That New Ulm's
wellknown hospitality is appreciated
by the fire ladies, is attested by the
fact that they are all anxious to come
here for the big convention.
At least $4,000 will be needed by
the New Ulm Fire department as an
entertainment fund.-Brown County
Journal.

IMAGINATION OVERWORKED

One of the real and actual crimes
Of the day is the widespread effort
mostly on the part of men who are
not farmers at all, to din into farm
er's ear day after day and year af
ter year, that there are no opportun-
tiles in farming; that rhe farmer is
down and out; that everybody is
against him, including the govern
ment, and that his one hope is in
political aid of some kind. / recall
the case of where some joking friends
agreed when they met Brown they
would each tell him how bad he look
ed. They did it. At first Brown
treated the expressions lightly; then
he began to wonder if be wasn't
sick; the next step was worry; then
imagination, and finally it took the
services of a physician and train
ed nurse to get him back on his feet
again. The wonder of the age is that,
with all the calamity stuff that is
poured into the ears Of the farmer he
has not lost any greater part of his
nerve than he has.-Long Prairie
Leader.

It was in 1905 when Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louis. jana Territory, which extended from the Mississippi River to Rockies, from France for 15,OQO, GOO dollars. The first thing Jeff erSon did was to choose Mel Wether Lewis, a young Virginlan to explore this vast territory.
 Captain Lewis was overJoy ed over the position and accept ed at once. lie took along with him his best friend Willialn Clark who was an eXperenced front iersman. They started in the year 1904, with many other ad venturers, up the Missouri River.
 They made friends with all the Indians along the way, by showing their superiority over them in spearing buiIaloes and shooting with bow and arrows. Clark received much attention because of his red hair.
 Finally they came to the point where the Mellow s-one River flows into the Missouri. Here LeuIs Was puzzled which route to raK@, ana Il 1t WaSn t for young Indian maiden, Sac- aiawea, he might not have succ eeded She had been stolen by an umfrendly band of Indians, so she was glad to go With LeWIs and Clark back to her own people, who lived for away.
 o4e, with her little baby on her back, truG4e1 along point ing ouv the Waa, Wniun led to glory and fame for Lewis and Clark. At first Captaln Lewis didn't do as she said, but finally he relied on no one but Sacaja Wed.

 Finally they reached the Columbia by way of the clear water, which led them to the great Pacific. Here Lewis put up the American Flag showing that this vast territory had been explored by and belonged to the United States.
 They started back and soon reached SacajaWea's home. She begged Lewis to take her to St. Louis, but he kindly told her she would be lonesome for her oW Il people. As the expedition left the village, the last thing they saw was the Indian maiden, sitt ing on a distant cliff wrapped in mourning,
 The glory was nearly all given to Lewis aud Clark, when most of iU should have gone to this maiden, who guided them throughout the journey. Histor ies do not even men ntiOn her, when she deserves so much.
 In Portland there is a small monument to her, but 1 tn nk yne~ greatest one is the settling of the great territory which she gave 10 t1e United States.

BY Henry l.. Farrell

GHtted Press StdT C0TTeSDOhdeHt
NEW YORK, April 2O.-Oficials
of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association are frankly puzzled with
a problem attending the application
for permission to bring Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen, French tennis queen, here
| this summer for a series Of exhibit
ton matches.
c. C. Pyle, business manager for
| Red Grange told the association he
| had signed Mile. Lenglen to movie
contract and would like to get per
NIT to arrange an exhibition tour
under the auspices of the association.
He was told that he would not
need official permission to bring her
to this country any more than Helen
Wills. American champion, needed
official approval for her trip to
France.
Would Cooperate
PYLE said he preferred to cooperate
in every way With the association to
protect the French star from any
complications that might arise. lie
was told that the association would
consider the application at the next
meeting of the advisory committee.
If Mile. Lenglen would consent to
engage in any championships the as
sociation would jump at the chance
to sponsor her second engagement
in the United States, but Pyle said
she did not care to engage in any
thing but the exhibition matches.
Many Problems
Pyle said if the association &C
cepted these conditions there would
be the task of getting opponents
for her and officials feel that Helen
Wills and Molla Mallory are the
only Americans equipped with a
game to test her. There also would
be the problem OF dividing the re-
ceipts and there is no precedent to
follow in the whole case.
This is something new to us and
we will take no action until we are
thoroughly familiar with all the de-
tails" one Of the officials said to-
day.
Some Of the officials feel that Mile.
Lenglen is duty bound to compete in
the national championships If she
comes to this country, as American
players have always contributed to
the success Of French tournaments.
