FOUR SCORE AND TWO
PICKED MEN
Accompanied by hundreds of relatives,
acquaintances and friends, the eighty
*"tvo men called in the June 25th draft,
marched to the Northwestern station

flow mg with citizens and visitors all
anxious to gi\e the boys a smile and a
wave of good cheer The three city
bands accompanied them, Hofmeister's
leading, the Bauer's in the center of
the column and the New Ulm Concert
Band bringing up the last division.
Fellow Workers March
The weather was glorious and the
smiling skies seemed to promise a joy
ful return of the boys before many days.
A larfc.e number of the Red Cross workers
accompanied the soldiers to the station
and the Eagle Mill workers, men and
women alike were out in full force to
cc-t their four recruits
Comfrey Here in Force
According to the daily papers, Comfrey
had a=ked that her men be allowed to
entrain at Mankato instead of New Ulm
because Comfrey has an idea that as
a loyal city her people should not set
foot in New Ulm The request was
denied and the Comfrey men were ob
liged to entrain heie with the rest of the
Brown County men. In order to protect
her boys, Comfrey sent a delegation of
some thirty cars to see that they got
safely off on their way to service.
There were thirty-five men in the
_^roup from New Ulm, thirteen from
Sleepy Eye, eleven from Comfrey, nine
from Springfield, four from Hanska, and
ten from other points. All the men
were presented with their comfort kits
by the Red Cross.
Will Train At Camp Grant
This contingent goes to Camp Grant
near Rockford, 111 They were to leave
Mankato on a special tram at 5:15 and
would probably reach camp some time
Wednesday morning.
HOSPITAL ASS'N.
INCREASES STOCK
BY SALE OF PREFERRED STOCK
UNION HOSPITAL FREES
ITSELF OF DEBT
INSTITUTION HAS PROSPERED
ADDITIONAL SPACE NOW
IS NECESSARY
the recent annual meeting of the
Union Hospital Association the articles
of incorporation were amended two
particulars The annual maetmg of
the stockholders hereafter will take place
on May 30th, Decoration Day. Here
tofore they have been held on the first
Monday in February.
Increase Capital Stock
The capital stock of the Association
has been increased to $150,000 of which
$75,000 is preferred stock. The pre
lerred stock will draw 4 per cent div
idends, payable semi-annually. The As
sociation expects to be able to redeem
all outstanding preferred stock within
10 jears
Debts Liquidated
During the past vear the Association
has been placed on a more stable financial
basis Prior to that time the bills pay
able of the hospital Association were
handled by the local banks. Thru the
bale of preferred stock it was possible
rt pa up all the indebtedness at the
\arious banks and thru this arrangement
there will be quite a saving in interest.
fc
The committee which had charge of the
sale of the preferred stock had no trouble
to dispose of $40,000 worth in a very
short time.
Three years ago the management of
the hospital was turned over to a com
mittee consisting of Jacob Klossner,
Jr L. Beecher and F. H. Retzlaff.
Their duties were mainly those of an
advisory board and as an auditing com
mittee. This committee has performed
its various duties with signal success.
Must Build Addition
It is planned to build an addition
which would give the hospital an ad
ditional thirty rooms for patients. The
present hospital has been found in
adequate to meet the demands made
upon it and the enlargement has almost
become an absolute necessity.
New Officers Chosen
Wesley C. Miller, Chas. Kuehlbach
and Fred J. Backer were the three
new directors elected at the annual
meeting. The board of directors or
ganized by electing the following officers:
President Jacob Klossner Jr. Vice
''President, H. L. Beecher Secretary,
Wesley C. Miller, Treasurer, F. H. Retz
laff
Never has New Ulm been so busy
before. The streets day after day are
lined with parked automobiles, their
owners having come here from as far as
thirty miles to do their trading. Busi
ness is brisk, one merchant being too busy
to go home to his noon meal on Friday,
ordinarily a dull day.
METHODIST CHURCH ITEMS
The official board of the Methodist
church of this city unanimously decided
at their recent meeting to ask the
Bishop and his cabinet to return their
present pastor, Dr. C. Hohn to this
church for another year.
The board also unanimously passed
a resolution that beginning with the
first Sunday in July and always there
after, all the services in the morning
as well as in the evening will be con
ducted exclusively in the English lan
guage. The Sunday School is also being
held in the English language.
During the months of July and August
the evening services will be discontinued.
A Sunday School State Convention
Echo meeting will be held at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. Reineke Thursday

be discussed by those who were in at
tendance at the State Convention re
cently held at Worthington and several
musical selections will be rendered.
All those interested in Sunday School
work of any church are cordially invited.
Celebrate the Fourth of July at Old
Historic Fort Ridgely. Judge Willard
F. Comstock will probably deliver the
principal address. Appropriate music,
games and program has been arranged.

Committee.
IMPROVEMENT PLAN
IN MEADOW YALLEY
EAST ENDERS HAVE SCHEME TO
BEAUTIFY THEIR SECTION
OF THE CITY
BACK UP THEIR SCHEME WITH
HARD LABOR. SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED
Last Sunday about fifty or sixty
strong men of Meadow Valley worked
like Trojans to clean up the Public
Landing. A great deal of underbrush
has been cleaned out and the rocks that
were strewn all over the place have been
collected in one spot so that the levee
now looks very much better indeed.
Voluntary Workers. -,
The work was done under a committee
which consisted of John Karl, August
Beyer, Christ Lindmejer, Frank Lind
meyer, Robert Bartl, Chas. Lindmeyer,
Joseph Kirsch and John Wild. They
are What is called a self-constituted com
mittee. At a meeting held some weeks
ago they decided that the Public Land
ing could be made a beautiful spot by a
little effort. They secured permission
from the proper authorities to do the
cleaning up that has been done. It is
planned to have a 4th of July celebration
down there this year.
Possibilities Great.
This is a move the right direction.
There is no other public place in the city
of New Ulm which can be made more
attractive than the Public Landing. The
citizens of this section of the city should
not rest content merely to use the place
as it is but they should insist on having
the place laid out as a public park and a
landscape gardener secured to make the
necessary plans. All this can not be
done at once but everything must have
a beginning. It is to be hoped that the
work done by this committee to get the
levee cleaned up and made more attract
ive is but the beginning of a most beauti
ful park which the people will be per
mitted to enjoy in the near future.
Support Promised.
Those wrho have not been at the Public
Landing for some years should make it
a point to take a stroll down there to
convince themselves of the possibilities
this place affords for a splendid recreation
place. It is up to the citizens of Meadow
Valley to make the first move in that
direction and they will be given support
by all those who believe in developing the
beauty spots of the city.
A MONSTER PICNIC
A monster league and equity picnic
will be held next Sunday at L. W.
Samuelson's farm in the township
of Lafayette. Magnus Johnson of Kim
ball, Minn., and J. A. Currie of Texas
will be the speakers. In connection
with this equity and league picnic the
Women's Auxiliary of the consolidated
Equity League will have a Red Cross
Sale. Music will be furnished by the
Bernadotte band. In the evening there
will be a dance at one of the neighboring
farms where they are properly equipped
for this form of entertainment. A most
cordial invitation is extended to the
citizens of New Ulm and to all the farmers
within a radius of twenty miles or more
to be present.

below the ceiling. The lower half of
the walls is covered with a golden brown
burlap and the floor covering is similar
in hue. Snowy curtains add to the cool
and inviting appearance of the place and
dainty flowers give a festive air. Mr.
Harry Mattison of Minneapolis has
been assisting in the work of getting
started since Friday.

MERRY MAKERS AT
'. BIG MILL PICNIC
THE SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKIES
GREET THE THOUSAND AND
MORE WHO ATTEND
PRIZES FOR THE FLEET OF
FOOT AND SKILLED OF
HAND AND EYE
An army of more than one thousand
volunteers answered the' draft call of
the Eagle Mill and appeared for service
at their second annual picnic which was
held at Herman's Heights last Saturday.
A valiant army it was. With drums
beating, bugles calling and colors flying
they marched to Minnesota Street from
the Mill, to Center Street and gaily
stormed the heights and took them to
a man. Nor were the soldiers all men.
Women and children nowadays are re
quired to fight the battles of the world
and even the tiny oneswere required to
make the- conquest of Herman quite
complete. The soldiers were numbered
by the buttons distributed and as the
Mill had laid in a supply of one thousand
of these buttons, there is little question
that the force was more than a thousand
strong, and not a casualty reported as
yet!
Parade Units.
Sometimes it looked more like a circus
procession than an army, especially when
the several clowns and the policeman
put in an appearance near the end of
the line of march. Sometimes it looked
like a Summer Pageant when the Vaca
tion Days float appeared with pretty
girls sitting at ease under shady boughs
in a Cool green canoe. And then again
appeared the martial air as the bojs
who were to leave for service Tuesday
appeared in their khaki uniforms and re
mindedthe onlookers that in the midst
of rejoicing there is ever the serious
business of the real war to be remem
bered.
Service Banners.
Hofmeister's Band furnished the music
for the festivities. They led the pro
cession and were followed by the em
ployees in order of their terms of service
for the Eagle Company. First came
those who have been with the Mill 35
years or more: John Rauschke and
Christ Ahle.

Contests Staged.
The day at the heights was spent in
contests of various kinds, in dancing
and other similar amusements. The
races were very exciting and each called
out an excited group of contenders for
the prizes. The first was a foot race
between girls of 7 to 10 years of age and
the prize, a box of candy went to Gertrude
Rauschke. The little lads under 6
years competed for a warlike outfit of
pistol and ammunition and Roman
Zangel was the happy possessor of the
weapon after the smoke cleared away.
The tiny girls raced for a beautifuly
dolly who was awarded to Bernice Marti.
Next came the boys of 11 years. John
Hauer carried off the prize, a baseball
bat. Then came the free-for-all for the
men. It was a one-legged race and W.
B. McCue is now smoking the tobacco
in the prize pipe. A bottle race for the
fat ladies came next and Mrs. Rubischko
won the prize of a set of glassware.
The girls from 11 to 15 years of age
contested for a hair ribbon and the
coveted finery was won by Vera Schreyer.
In the ladies nail driving contest Mrs.
Ed. Kunz was awarded the prize, a
piece of jewelry. Howard Olsen won the
baseball glove in the obstacle race for
boys and Irwin Fast got the prize of
$1.50 in the flour diving contest. Then
there was a contest at quoits and Andrew
Steinbach drew $1.00 worth of Thrift
Stamps as a reward for his skill.
The Kangaroo Court sat all day and
garnered a harvest in fines amounting
to $10 which will be donated to the local
Red Cross.
The boys who are to leave for real
military service from the ranks of the
mill workers are A. E. Blauert, Cor
nelius Burk, Alfred Windland, and Wm.
Wandersee, Jr. The first three are from
the mill office and the last from the shop.
They left the employ of the Mm Friday
afternoon and before saying good bye
to their fellow workers they were called
into the office and presented with the
parting good wishes and a substantial
expression o'f those good wishes in the
form of watches and various other little
comforts which, the soldier bojr finds
so convenient in his camp life. ^R.
FORMER NEW ULM BOY
IS KILLED IN ACTION
Early last week Dr. G. Fischer of
Minneapolis, one of our former citizens,
received word from the War Department
that his son, Corporal Robert Mc
Caughin Fischer had met his death on
the battle field of Chateau Tierry while
taking part in a gallant, attack on the
enewy* CorPoral
Fischer is a nephew
of Mrs. L. G. Bell of this city. He was
born here in New Ulm, October, 1897

Pacific coast and shortly
thereafter was sent back east and had
been France for over six months.
In letters to relatives here he spoke
about engagements in No Man's Land
aM about going over the top in some of
the engagements that he was in. His
mother died when he was only about
18 months old and he was brot up by
his aunt, Miss Minna Fischer. He was
a
bright young man and well liked by
all his comrades and school mates.
His brother Richard is now in training
at an officers' training camp and his
other brother Mario was visiting here

JUNIOR PIONEERS
LEFT IN COMMAND
COMMERCIAL CLUB DECIDES TO
TAKE NO PART IN FOURTH
OBSERVANCE
DEDICATION OF THE PIONEER:
LODGE WILL BE CARRIED
OUT AS PLANNED
Last week the Review reported that
the Commercial Club would assist the
Junior Pioneers in the matter of making
the necessary arrangements for a larger
Fourth of July parade to be held in the
city this coming 4th. This arrangement
has gone to pieces. Last Tuesday eve
ning about 25 members of the Com
mercial Club, professional and business
men of the city, met in the club rooms
in special session for the purpose of
deciding definitely what part, if any, the
Commercial Club would take in the
matter of the 4th of July celebratkm-
Election Displeases Club
Quite a number of those present gave
it as their opinion that because of the
fact that James A. Peterson had re
ceived a majority vote over Senator
Knute Nelson and on account of the
unprecedented vote given Chas. A.
Lindbergh for Governor, that the election
the city could be construed only as a
disloyal sentiment in the city and*it
would be very unbecoming fpr the city
to arrange a 4th of July celebration, as
there seems to be so little sentiment far
"patriotism" and so few seem to know
the full meaning of the Declaration of
Independence.
Will Follow Original Plan
This was in substance the report which
the committee on parade, Carl
Manderfeld and Wm. F. Meile, reported
to the arrangements committee in session
at Turner Hall Wednesday evening.
The matter was thoroly discussed and
after deliberation the members of the
committee, present by unanimous vote
decided to have the dedication of the
log cabin on July 4th and adhere to the
original plan which did not contemplate
any parade whatsoever.
Program Details
It is expected that the Junior Pioneers
by filing ^tftt^^SSSStgaZ-
and wijl attend the dedication exercises
at Turner Hall Park on July 4th. It is
now planned to have the dedication
ceremonies about 3 o'clock in the.
afternoon. As part of the program the
committee has arranged for two song
numbers. In addition to this, there
will be the reading of the Declaration of
Independence, a report of the building
committee, an address by the President
of the Junior Pioneers and. then the
acceptance of the memorial by one of
the old pioneers. If possible the classes
of the New Ulm Turnverein will give
several numbers just to show that phys
ical training is the best means of'pre
paredness. There will be other enter
tainment features so that no one wfll
find time dragging heavily on his hands
if he attends the 4th of July picnic at
Turner Hall Park.
