When we started the New Uim Music Store two years ago there were many who said we wouldn't last five months, but today we can say with pride that we are still here and that we now have more friends than ever before.

We wanted the people of New Ulm and the neighboring towns to believe in us and to our satisfaction we can say that we have succeeded. No one can do business without friends and we have tried to make these people our friends by giving them in every instance a square deal.

The Fairfax Games. 53^ The New Ulm basket ball teams played at Fairfax on Friday evening instead of on Saturday as originally advertised. The bad roads made it impossible to drive across the country and hence Tjoth teams were compelled resort to a round-about and tire some railroad trip through Winthrop, leaving here at 5 o'clock in the morn ing. The boys who represented New Ulm were Bueoger, Backer, Antbony.Huhn, Stadtherr and Dirks. The girls, who were under the chaperon age of Miss Rockwood, were Tesna Giefer and Flora Getting, forwards, Lauretta Sturm and Emma Riegler, guards,and Giesa Vedder, Inn a Blauert and Mar tha Winkelmann, centers] The first game was played by the girls', and although the score would indicate a decisive victory for Fair fax, it was by no means a disappoint ment, for it must be remembered that they were pitted against one of the strongest girls' teams 'n the state, and moreover they were all tired out when the game commenced. At the end of the first half the New Ulm girls led with a score of 7 to 5, due partly to the splendid guarding of Emma Rieg ler, and up to the middle of the second half the Fairfax team had been unable to establish a lead. In the last quar ter, however, the endurance of the New Ulmites gave out and when team work was abandoned those who were not tired became discouraged and allowed Fairfax to win with ease. The boys' game must have been a surprisetothepeopleofFairfax. While their home boys played swift as indi viduals tbey were weak in team work and at no time were a match for the New Ulmites in all-round playing. The game resulted in a score of 24 to 10 in favor of the visitors. After the contest the Fairfax high school pupils served refreshments to their guests and showed that their heart was in the right place even though they were only partial victors.
