LARGER CHRISTMAS BOXES
PROVIDED FOR SOLDIERS
New Ulm people and the Red Cross
woikers who wish to send Christmas
boxes to the United States soldiers in
France may send larger parcels than
was at first announced. Boxes intended
for soldiers in that country may be up to
twenty pounds, if relatives or friends,
or the Red Cross wish to send them.
The French government recently gave
notice that, because of its inadequate
rail facilities, it could not transport any
parcel-post package weighing over seven
pounds.
Now the United States War Depart
ment announces that it will handle all
Christmas packages for the American
Expeditionary forces new in France,
on the lines there which have been built
and are being operated by our nine
railway regiments.
Accordingly, the Postoffice Depart
ment has issued anew order under which
a Christmas package weighing up to
twenty pounds may be sent to a soldier
in France, but these regulations must
be strictly observed:
"In addressing, give the name of the
soldier, the name of the unit to which
he is attached, and send it in care of the
Commanding General, Port of Embarka
tion, Pier "J", Hoboken, N. J. The
package must comply with the regular
postal regulations, and, in addition, the
articles sent must be packed in a wooden
box not more than two cubic feet in ex
tent. It must be well strapped and
should have either a hinged or a screwed
top. No perishable foqdstuffs may be
sent. The box should be marked to
indicate that it is a Christmas package
and should reach Hoboken not later than
December 5th. The rate of postage is
12 cents a pound."
NAVY YARDS NEED HELP
Hundreds of men are now needed by
the Navy Department in its various
yards thruout the country, and wages
as high as $5.20 a day are offered in some
cases. This is for ship-fitters. For
more common labor the rates are less,
and for boys in one yard the rate is from
96 cents a day to $2. The men in this
branch of the government service are
all under the rules of the civil service
commission, and are not liable to be
dropped on some slight pretext. In
formation relative to these positions
may be had by calling on the members
of the local board at the New Ulm post
office.
HAYCRAFT MAY BE CANDIDATE
William T. Bell, political, writer for
the St. Paul Pioneer Press intimates
that Julius E. Haycraft of Fairmont may
be a candidate for congress, in opposition
to F. E. Ellsworth. Mr. Bell is of the
opinion that Mr. Haycraft had the
Congressional "bee" buzzing about bis
head'when he declined an appointment
as a member of the Railway and Ware
house Commission, to fill a vacancy
recently. MF.~fiaycraft was 'once- a
candidate for Congress, but was defeated
by Mr. Ellsworth." *,..
PATRIOTISM
$ &
A critical stage has been reached 1y
the live stock industry and it is tip to
everybody to do his "bit." A Richmond
is in the field in the person of Uncle
Stm, new the world's largest,meat pur
chaser. The nation's meat requirements
have never been as great and as the
war progresses this demand will be
augmented.
After the war the world's herds and
flocks will be depleted, insuring the
American producer high prices for many
-*-.rs to come.. Now is the time -to
prepare.
Heretofore the mission of the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition has been
to promote the welfare of the industry
and conduct a comprehensive system of |f
training along economic lines. j|§li|i
industry will agai.n open its highly
illustrated pages to the public at Chicago
during,the first week of December. It
this drive will put money in the pockets
of such producers as are alive to the
situation. :1
TOWNLEY AT LABOR MEETING
President A. C. Townley, president
of the National Non-Partisan League,
delivered a whirl-wind address before
the American Federation of Labor con
vention in Buffalo, hst Thursday. Mr.
Townley invited the laborers to combine
with the farmers snd organize in an
effort to cut out the middle man and
thus reduce the cost of living. President
Townley, said with such.an organization
the war would be carried on much more
economically and^the men would be mora
efficiently fed, clothed and aimid.„
CHILDREN OF EMMERSON
SCHOOL MAKE A RECORD
During the past school month, ending
Friday, among the thirty-six scholars of
the Fifth and Sixth grades of the Em
merson school, of which Miss Marie
Lunde is. the teacher, there was not a
single tardy nor absentee mark recorded.
It is difficult to say which, the children
or the teacher were the more elated
over the achievment of the youngsters.
The children have been taking a deep
interest in the outcome of the struggle
to prevent the entering of a black mark
against the names of any of the at
tendants at the school. This is an un
usual record for any school to make
and the members are justly proud of, the
result of their efforts. ~Z
CAR SCARCITY CAUSES
STONE QUARRY TO CLOSE
The New Ulm Stone Company has
closed its quarry for the winter, be
cause it is impossible to secure cars
in which -to ship its products. In
directly the government's order, pro
hibiting the shipment of material for
highways in open-top cars, because
the road improvements are not consid
ered essential to the conduct of the war.
Closed freight cars cannot be used
to advantage in the transportation
of crushed stone, because of the incon
venience and added expense in loading
and unloading. The company announc
es that it will not attempt,to operate
ts plant before spring, at least, —*•:,,.
Selfishness nearly brought a lifetime
of anguish to.John' Standing, the "new
rich" youth who denied his mother.
But despite his heartless rebuff, mother
love prevailed (as it always does) and
the boy lived to see her happy and, in
doing his full duty, brought to himself
the greatest happiness. Here is a digest
of the pl.t contained in the Bluebird
photoplay, "Mother O' -Mine," to be
exhibited^ at the Armory on Sunday,
Nov. 25 with Rupert Julian and Ruth
Clifford playing.the leading roles and
Ruby La Fayette, a veteran actress of
seventy-two, appearing in the tenderly
sympathetic mother' role. That it's

it will represent the^acme of photo

Patriotism and profit constitute a good
combination. This is a moment when
the call of the nation, among other things,
is for more meat. The International.
Live Stock Exposition is endeavoring
to stimulate the producers of the country
to an emphatic answer.
In this supreme test private interest
must be subordinated to that of public
need.
Visit the International this year as

PHONE LINES TO CONNECT
The move to connect the Peoples'
Telephone company's lines with those of
the Northwestern company's at Man
kato for long distance service, is likely
to be successful. The local concern an
nounces its willingness to make the
change. The Northwestern company
still Ins the matter under advisement,
but it is expected to comply with the
wishes of the business men of Mankato.
Th« result. was disastrous to the cars,
but fortunately none of the occupant,
were seriously injured
W a
and Ms family were on
their way from their home in Iowa to
Olivia, near which place he owns a farm.
Mr. Teigen had been to this city and
was returning home when the accident
occurred. His car was just behind a
wagon loaded with gravel, ascending the
hill, which he attempted to pass, not
seeing the other car coming down the
bill. As he swung around the wagon
his car collided with the Iowa auto,
throwing the latter from its course and
it rolled thru the brush at the side of the
road and down the ten-foot embank
ment, carrying its occupants with it.
All of the members of the Willard family
were held fast under the car, Mr. Willard
being pinned between the ground and
the steering wheel. A wheel was taken
from the Teigen car, but otherwise it
was not badly damaged, and the driver,
who was the sole occupant was not. in
jured: ,, *,~'\ \,
Men working on the highway and the
driver of a passing automobile promptly
rescued the Willards and they were brot
to town, where they were attended by a
physician. While somewhat bruised and
badly shaken up, Mrs. Willard was not
seriously hurt, while her husband suffered
a slight fracture ol one of his ribs. The
boy was not injured in the least,

The Madelia football team that came
over to New Ulm a week ago Saturday
and defeated the high school boys here,
was not satisfied with winning the game,
but felt called upon to return home and
set up a "holler" because some of the
Madelia folks thought the local boys
didn't play fair. The Madelia News
last, week contanied half a column of
about as clear "tommyrot" as one cares
to gaze upon. Wonder what those
Madelia babies would have done had
they lost the game?
