Carleton College has a number of her graduates in the teaching force of the New Ulm High School and draws quite a number of students from here. (Continued from first page.) "We emphatically endorse the stand taken by U. S. Senators Knute Nelson and Moses E. Clapp in opposition to the iniquitous practice of the U. S. Govern ment in printing and circulating stamped envelopes at a price less than the actual cost of production in competition with honest private industry, and we would especially request the Congressman from the Second Minnesota District, the Hon. W. S. Hammond, to use his utmost endeavors to prevent a renewal of the contract which makes this practice possible." "Be it further resolved that all papers of the Second District publish the foregoing and give it the widest possible publicity." During the afternoon the visiting ladies were taken for a launch trip on the Minnesota. Miss AUie Scherer acted as hostess and Skipper Eckstein and Engineer Math. Pederson looked after the "Alcantara". The Garrow launch was also offered but was not needed as there was room for all in the large boat. Shortly after 5 o'clock the business session was brought to a close and at 6 all the guests accompanied by about seventy-five of the citizens repaired to the banquet tables which were spread in the Gymnasium. The room had been decorated by Miss Wanda Gag and her sisters, Miss Rosebud Engel and Miss Olita Niemann, under the direction of Mrs. Alfred Schroeck and Mrs. Henry Engel and with the assistance of Mr. Herman Hein. The color scheme was yellow and green and the flowers used were golden rod, golden glow, the wild yellow daisy or sunflower and the garden sunflower was used for the walls where large effects were required. The speaker's table was marked by a hanging basket above it and the flowers used were in different colors from those on the other tables. In the center of the room was growing column of green banked with flowers at the base and the basket ball rings were filled with flowers, and ferns. The John Leslie Paper Company of Minneapolis furnished place cards in gold and white and at each plate there was a menu card decorated with cut flowers and ferns. The guests were seated at eight tables and the service was under the direction of Prof. Herman Hein and was per formed by thirty-two young ladies of his classes. Everything moved along like clockwork and the effect was very pretty. The banquet was prepared by the ladies of the Turnverein and consisted of four courses as follows: 1st course: Fruit Salad and Wafers. 2nd course: Baked Ham, Creamed Potatoes, Rye Sandwiches, Pickles. 3rd course: French Fried Spring Chicken, Potato Souffle, Combination salad. 4th course: Coffee, Ice Cream, Cake and Cigars. Albert Steinhauser of the Review acted as toastmaster and when the cigars and coffee went around he called on G. A. Ottomeyer, President of the Com mercial Club, to welcome the visitors. Mr. Ottomeyer's words were well chosen and expressed the warmth of hospitality which the city wished to extend to the editors and their ladies. His remarks were brief and left a very good im pression. The committee in charge had decided that each of the addresses should be made short owing to the extreme heat of the evening and a desire not to delay the park concert. James Ruane of Slayton, President of the Association responded for the editors and pointed out to the citizens present that New Ulm has a great future before it if the citizens will only recall the old spirit of never yielding to difficulties that characterized the old pioneers. His words aroused enthusiasm among those who are striving to awaken New Ulm from the self-satisfied sleep into which it has fallen of late. Fred Johnson was the nexc speaker and he very cleverly entertained the company by reciting a number of humorous anecdotes of newspaper, hotel and political life, in all of which Mr. Johnson is well versed. The final Tiumber on the program was a talk by John D. Deets of the Southern Minnesota Better Development League. His subject was "The Value of the Newspaper to the Community." He also shortened his speech to bring it within the time specified but in the short time that he spoke, he said a number of things well worth considering. Mr. Deets is a magnetic speaker and his voice has a ringing quality that makes it very pleasing to hear. At the conclusion of the program of speeches, the Committee on Reso lutions made its report and read the following resolutions which were adopted by arising vote: "The Second District Editorial Asso sociation in convention assembled at New Ulm hereby wish to express to the citizens of New Ulm our hearty appre ciation of the many courtesies extended on the occasion of our summer meeting. "We tender our special thanks to the Eagle Roller Mill Company and its officials for the courtesies extended in showing us through their magnificent mill, and to the owners of the automo biles for the drive thru the city to see the points of interest. "We especially'appreciate the kind ness of the Commercial Club and the citizens in furnishing an elaborate banquet this evening and of the ladies who served the same so splendidly. "Forthe splendid exhibitionof physical culture numbers given during the course'^filfc of the evening in Turner Hall Park we wish to thank the New Ulm Turnverein and their teacher Prof. Herman Hein. "The ladies of our company are especially grateful for the delightful entertainment during the afternoon on the launch Alcantara, and the many courtesies shown them. "We would especially mention in our thanks the untiring efforts of the mem bers of the newspaper fraternity of New Ulm, Miss Payne, Capt. Steinhauser and Philip Liesch, who did everything in their power to make the visit of the visitors one continuous round of pleasure. "We shall carry to our homes pleasant memories of one of the most beautiful cities of southern Minnesota. We wish for her and her hospitable citizens the fullest measure of joy and propserity.'' Will Curtis Signed A. M. Welles J. F. Weber. The company then adjourned to t*ie park where the Second Regiment Band rendered a specially prepared program of musical numbers. The open space at the rear of the hall was strung with Japanese lanterns which lighted the grounds for the classes which gave an exhibition of physical culture work under the direction of Mr. Hein. On three sides of this space hundreds of people were clustered and the cool breeze that was blowing added the last requirement to make the occasion quite perfect. The concert closed about eleven o'clock and the crowd slowly dispersed. A large number of the editors left for their homes by auto that evening and nearly all the others departed on the early train Sunday morning. The next meeting will be held at Mapleton, Minn.

This season's light dresses require dif ferent laundering from the ordinary stiff starched piques and linens and those who are revelling in the comfortable, soft, clingy gowns have wondered how to pro duce the stiffness like unto that of goods just new. Rice starch is the solution and here is the way to make it. Wash one-fourth cupful of rice, put into a quart of boiling water and boil slowly, adding water as it boils away, stirring frequently cook until the rice is a pulpy mush to this add one quart of boling water and strain through a white flannel bag without pressing hang up and let drip as long as needed then, if too thick, dilute to the proper thinness with cold water, anduse the starch warm. Rice starch will give a stiffness like new goods to delicate muslins or linens. AUGUST WEDDINGS' Fred Meyer and Miss Lydia Koepke will be married this evening.

To the American Public and the American Press. WHEREAS—conflicting, meagre, in accurate and possibly highly colored news items concerning the war situation appear in part of the American Press, and WHEREAS—all such news items con cerning Austrio-Hungary and Ger many are censored by the authorities of antagonistic governments—and WHEREAS—the underlying motives which justified the Governments of Aus tro-Hungary and Germany to take such steps as would properly protect their interests and integrity, are greatly mis understood because of such unreliable and onesided reports. THEREFORE—Be it resolved that we, the undersigned, representing the large and loyal American citizenship of German and Austrian extraction, appeal to the well known airmindedness of our Ameri can fellow citizens and ask them to with hpld judgement regarding the present European crisis until authentic reports on the actual situation of both sides are available, and avoid anything that tends to confuse the public mind and so inter fere with that great desire of our Repub lic to maintain its strict neutrality. Be it further resolved that we vigorous ly protest against the careless handling of unconfirmed, biased and sensational news matter. We do not ask that any par tiality be shown Germany or Austria Hungary, but we urgently request that fair treatment be accorded them. The liberal support which the American Press receives from the German-Americans, the important place the latter have taken in the upbuilding of this great country and the loyal manner in which they have at all times performed their duties as Ameri can citizens, fully entitle them to this request.

The man who gives his name as Floyd Mitchell, is apparently about fifty years old and has a black beard and black hair. He is about five feet ten inches tall and of slender build. He did not resist the officers, but his mind appears to be wandering. He first said that he had walked from Sioux Falls, S. D., leaving there two weeks ago, and later told of having walked from Mankato. Sheriff Osten telephoned to the hospital authori ties at St. Peter and some one will come from thereto see if the man is an escaped patient.
