Entered as Se ond Class Matter at the Post office at New I lm. Minnesota. It sometimes pays to suffer adversity just for the sake ot learning how good ones inends will be Several of the exchanges th's wee1-- report instances of whtre farmers have left their own grain standing uncut the fields and gone to the assistance ot a neighbor who had suffered misiortune and was unable to Lake care of his own crop. One of the men ho was 1 llled the Fairmont railroad creasing accident a couple of weeks ago owned a big fann and his neighbcis did their best for the iamil by turning out in force with their teams md bmdeib and h"ivested the entire crop. l^mei at St James was badly Tjured bj a colt and his neighbors took he re&poi -1' A\va of h^ Lancet off his 111 ids whi1 b" ha* bee" the hospital aivll Fa anient faimer learned hat nor 01 hi ntighbo^ but the busi mm 0" the ct\ had hn misfonune 1 1 mmd Lv »\l.ilo the iaimei- neighbois ut tre gr? the K.smc-^ men did all Uie shocking We do not envy the nic-n of wealth. We have no jealous^ in our heart for his mansion, his ser\ ants and his bmousine. We care not toi his estates. All we uant this world is a comtoitable home, and to be surrounded by good friends. For he who has iilends, good and true, is as rich as any man should be and he who has no friends is indeed poverty stricken, e\en though he count his dollars by the million and his land by the mile. Yes, give us friends, just friends, and we will not covet anything that you have now or may later attain.—Winne bago Enterprise. At least not hile it is so hot, anyway. We can quite imagine our Winnebago brother hustling just like the rest of us when the cooler weather comes and he wouldn't object in the slightest to having a millionaire's purse to draw on when his coal bills come m. A thief at Mankato got next to the hiding place of the kitchen door key which was left under a shoe brush out side the door while the careful housewife •went down town. When the housewife returned she found the kitchen door un locked and $25 in money departed for unknown parts. We have banks and banks, but some people seem afraid to make use ot them. Money in a check book is a puzzle to the ordinary thief. That is where we would keep ours if we had any. The Nicollet Leader offers a plan for Preparedness that beats any other we have recently heard of. The course to pursue, according to the Leader, is to mind one's own business and mind it good and hard. The only trouble with the plan is that so many people do not seem to know just what is their own business and what is the other fellow's concern. A sure method of determining this knotty point is the next question _to be solved by the Leader. A Marshall man .recently requested all who might want to visit his home during his absence and prepare a meal, to be kind enuf to wash the dishes before leaving. What does that man expect of his visitors? If they wanted to wash dishes they could stay at home. The Marshall man was peeved because some one entered his home while the family was gone and apparently enjoyed a feed. Sleepy Eye business men were here last week looking over the Carnival which held forth here. The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch says they were looking for attractions for their Fair. One would think they should have had enough carnivals, judging from reports of the one they did have, recently. When tacking up your signs, don't forget that it is unlawful to place them on bridges. The state will refuse to give the state aid to the county where this law is violated. To leave a washed out bridge on a much traveled road without any warning light at night, endangering the lives of travelers, is nothing short of criminal negligence on the part of those entrusted with the duty of placing red lights to warn the public. The narrow escape we experienced last Friday night west of New Ulm impressed upon our mind the importance of the "safety first" slogan.— Springfield Advance. The crop of wheat, oats and barley in '(, McLeod County is reported as being the poorest in the history of the county, wheat averaging only 6 to 10 bushels, ft) oats 20 to 30 and barley 15 to 20. Hay U'"« .and corn are said to be excellent, how ever. Frank J. Hubbard who has been in command-pf the M. G. Co. from here since Lieur. Bierbaum resigned has been succeeded by Regimental Quartermaster Brown, formerly of Co. I of Owatonna. A corespondent of the Mankato Free Press at Llano Grande sends home word to his paper that he is spending a few days in the hospital with the measles which have come into camp. He was in quarantine and had to telephone his message to the telegraph office. McLeod County had the honor of carrying off the first and second prizes in the Band Tournament at Waconia, Hutchinson taking first and Glencoe second. St. James came third and Brownton, another McLeod County organization came fourth. Let's all hope the troops get thru at the front soon so our musicians can come home in time to knock the spots off those McLeod County fellers. The Tyler newspaper is one of the first papers in this section to raise the price of their subscription. This is due to the enormous advance in the cost of print paper and if the advance con tinues there is absolutely no relief for the newspaper man unless he does in crease the price of the paper. Several papers have" announced that after a certain date the price of subscription will be advanced and it would not be at all surprising to see such an announce ment from every country newspaper. Clem Lauterbach, the postmaster at Redwood Falls has a more varied ex perience, though le^s intricate knowledge now of what constitutes military ^u'e t^an he ever had. Mr. Lauterbach was member of Co. L., Second Minnesota, when the call was made on the state militia and he was obliged to go. He had imagined however that the respon- sibihties attached to his position as post master and demanding his own personal supervision, would be readily recognized by the military authorities order that he might be released. He was finally released, but not quite as readily as he had at first hoped for and anticipated.— Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch. Northfield is planning to have a home coming week in early October. A great amount of interest has been stirred up by the find of gold that has been made at Austin, where the big dredge is at work. It has been known for some time that gold was there but it as not thought to be paying quanti ties. However, assays have been made of sand and rock and it seems to indicate that there is quite a pocket of gold in the sands of the river and in the vicinity of Austin. The gold is very fine and it was not thought that it could be panned. One workman is said to have taken out $10 in a very short time. Those who should know say there is no question but that gold is there in paying quantities, and it will be a matter of working it out. There is little chance of there being any rich finds. Watonwan County rural schools held their fourth annual commencement exer cises at the High School in St. James last Friday. There were twenty-nine young people who have finished the courses in the country schools and are now ready for more advanced work. Hanska post office refuses to make rural mail deliveries where the* road is not kept in condition and several farmers living near that village have had to do without their daily mail service. Madelia post office took the same method of se curing improvement in the roads and the method is a good one for after a farmer has once had daily mail delivery he doesn't know how to do without it. The same thing is likely to happen to some of the New Ulm post office patrons if improvements are not made in a few places. Fairmont will dedicate their new high school building Sept. 22nd and at that time all the big fellows in the school world will be present and tell the good people of Fairmont that there never was such a spendidly planned and executed piece of work as their new structure, just as they said about the New Ulm building. Well, the Fairmont building ought to go New Ulm one better con sidering that it cost half again as much as ours. Mankato hasn't had enough sumer diversion yet. She is planning a grand song fest at Sibly Park some time this fall. It is expected to have a chorus of eighty voices. Fairmont seems to be a regular haunt of the forger. Why? Are Fairmont merchants and business men easy? Ap parently so, but it is also apparent that they never rest until they get hands on the man who "does them" as recent captures of forgers show. Two are re ported for last week. Martin, Jackson and Redwood coun ties all report terrible damages to crops by hail storms the past week. In many places farmers are already at work plowing the crops under. It is said that 5000 acres of grain were destroyed in Redwood alone. Illinois farmers are "making hay while the moon shines," in other words, they are harvesting their crops by night on account of the great heat. We have heard also that some fanners in this neighborhood tried the same stunt, but the moon last/week was not on the job long enuf to be of much service.

Mrs. Alfred Puhlmann left Monday afternoon for St. Paul where she will spend two weeks trimming in the whole sale houses and on her return will again have charge of the trimming in Mrs. Follmann's establishment during the fall. Thieves entered the Mankato Pan torium Thursday night and outfitted themselves with some of the best suits in the place. However, they did not take more than they really seemed to need as only about $30 worth was taken. They entered thru a rear window. Mrs. Frances Murphy, sister-in-law of F. H. Behnke has so far recovered from her operation that she was able to leave the Union Hospital and has gone to the home of her sister, Miss Marie Rummings of St. Peter to recuperate before going home. Carl F. Crone, manager of the Crone Department Stores left last week for Chicago to do the fall buying.

Mr. Loegering came to New Ulm last spring from Long Prairie and has been traveling representative for the Pioneer Nursery. Two former New Ulm race horses were represented in the races at Grand Forks N. D. last week and both of the horses pulled down first money. "King Dillard" took the top place in the 2:13 pace and "Edna Parker" won the 2:09 pace. Both horses were formerly owned by Jos. Bianchi but are at present owned by North Dakota parties.

Miss Jum is in charge and all are urged to take advantage of the use of the library. Ferdinand Hesse and his daughter Mrs. Anna Roeder and her daughter Adeline left Friday afternoon for Mus kegan, Mich, to attend the funeral of Mr. Hesse's brother. It's getting to be a case of "Off Again On Again," with the M. and St. L. be tween Franklin and Morton says the Fairfax Standard. On Thursday morn ing this week the east going freight was partly derailed some distance 'east of Morton. The track had not been cleared by noon and the west bound passenger was held at that place for several hours. Another exchange speaks of a similar tie up near Waterville. Looks as it the insurance people might make a good thing of it if they haunted the railroad stations ot the M. & St. L. and insured the prospective travellers because no body ever gets hurt in an M. & St. L. wreck but the habit of the M. & St. L. would make a good talking point. Several positions on the teaching force of the public schools of the City are still open, tnere being resignations of those who had engaged to take the places. Miss Vera Strickler will not teach but will spend the year at home as her sister, Miss Leola has engaged to teach at Morton. Miss Elsa Marti who had charge of the music has written from Montana where she is spending her vacation that her health does not im prove as it should and she feels that she had best not teach this year and a Miss Patterson who had been engaged for the first and second grades at the Washing ton School has been obliged to resign on account of her mother's ill health. No successors have as yet been engaged. A party of enthusiastic launchmen consisting of William and Albert Fritsche, Henry Haeberle, Emil Pfaender, Louis Vogel and Dr. A. C. Amann left Thursday morning on a lengthy water trip. From here the" party went to Franklin where they spent the first night and in the morning John Peterson of the place joined them and the party went on to Morgan. From there after a visit with A. J. Eckstein the party went to North Redwood and turned their way home leaving there at 4:30. After spending the night they continued their journey and traveled from Morton to Franklin in one hour. The trip from Franklin to New Ulm was made without a stop and it was late in the afternoon when the Alcanatra arrived at its mooring. "Scherf" Haeberle acted as commodore on the trip and the boys all say that no one could make abetter one than he. BIG PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED, IN PICTURE 0oth Sides of the Subject "Birth Con* trol" Are Vividly Presented in Photo-Drama. "Where Are My Children?" the elaborate photo-play that is creating a sensation throughout the country, has been pronounced by some of the ablest critics "a moving picture reve lation to all the world and humanity's greatest weapon against insidious crime." It deals plainly with the pre meditated destruction of the unborn. The lack of birth control in homes of squalid misery, crime and disease is thrown in vivid contrast against hap py surroundings. The production presents for serious consideration by the public two great Questions: Are doctors justified in denying en trance into this world those souls that would be marked as moral and physi cal defectives and bear the sign of the serpent? Are women blessed with health and wholesome homes justified in denying entrance to the world to those fine, strong souls that would be a blessing to humanity and bear the sign of the cross? It is a smashing, daring subject, done in a smashing, daring way. It will make women think, and think hard. It will make men look before they leap. It will act as a warning to the young. The handling without gloves of this question of pre-natal child murder is said to be a powerful indictment against a vice that threatens society. The serious consideration of these delicate problems is set forth in a great drama, the plot of which is said to be one of the most fascinating that has ever been portrayed upon a screen. The scenario was written by Lois Weber, genius of the screen, who also produced "Scandal," "Hypo crites," and other master productions. The principal parts «re played by the famous character actor Tyrone Pow er and Marie Wakaunp, supported hf •Ball star cast. 4 '-^fcyf $**'• J. H.
