A sad accident occurred last Tuesday evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, near the Beussmann far'm, three and one half miles west of Springfield, when a Buick car, driven by Fred Thram of Lamberton, collided with a hayrack loaded with drain tile, driven by Walter Gould of Springfield. Mr. Thram died one-half hour Uter, al though Mr. Gould escaped with a bad ly mangled limb and a broken wrist. Mr. Thram was born June 13, 1896, in Germantown township, Cottonwood county, and would have been 26 years of age next June. He served his country during the late World war and shortly after his discharge accepted a position in the John Roth & Son garage at Lamberton. Two years ago he was married to Miss Sena Iverson, who survives him with one son, Ken neth, nine months old. He is also survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Thram, of Germantown township, and eight sisters and one brother. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE VISITS CAMBRIA CREAMERY AND CONTENT ARE BURNED LAST MONDAY. AFTERNOON. ORIGIN OF $3,500 BLAZE IS MYSTERY. TO REBUILD NEXT SPRING. Fire of unknown origin burned the Cambria Creamery and its entire con tents to the ground, Monday afternoon of last week. The blaze was dis covered between 3 and 4 o'clock, when smoke was observed issuing from both gable ends of the frame structure. It is surmised^that the fire started in the loft, but the cause is still a mystery. Being £f frame construction, the build ing bfrned rapidly, and with the limited means at hand it was impos sible for the villagers to successfully combat the conflagration. When the fire was discovered, it had progressed so far that the entire contents was also doomed. Valued at $3,500. The Cambria Creamery Company was organized June 11, 1900, by a number of prosperous farmers residing in that community, and the erection of the destroyed creamery building dates back to that year. The value of the structure and its contents was placed at about $3,500 by Secretary D. E. Bowen, who stated that $2,400 in surance was carried by the company. This will leave a net loss of some $1,100. Renewed Incorporation. At the annual meeting of stockhold ers, held at Woodman Hall, Cambria, January 2, it was voted to renew the articles of incroporation, Which ex pired June 11,1920, and to continue the association. The election of directors resulted as follows: C. E. Bowen, Ed. Lewis, Thomas E. Jones, John F. Jones, R6ss Espenson and D. C. Price. The buttermaker was not present at the creamery last Monday, and John E. Thomas looked after his duties. The machinery had been running and the cream was cooling. E. L. Harris was at the creamery with Mr. Thomas when the fire started, but both men are unable to say how it originated. May Rebuild in Spring. Although no meeting of stockholders has as yet been held to determine officially what course the company will pursue, still it is very probable that it will be decided to rebuild the structure as soon as conditions permit. Even the temporary loss of the creamery is a detriment to Cambria and every thing possible will be done to secure a new building. LEAVES FOR WASHINGTON. Howard Klossner, son of our es teemed fellow-townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Klossner, Jr., departed Sunday afternoon for Washington, D. whither he was called to assist in appropriating the big half-billion dollar loan which \the War Finance Corporation has granted to Minnesota farmers to relieve the present financial stress. Howard has been one of the state bank examiners in this state for several years past and is thoroughly cognizant of the needs of the farmers in Southern Minnesota. This is one of the' reasons for his being selected to assist in figuring out the appropria tions. He has temporarily severed his connection with the Minnesota State Banking Department, but will resume his duties upon completion of his work in the national capital. He has every reason to feel elated over the singular honor bestowed upon irim,/ Afes* /-ids ^Sl-k^^MidA TT St fc-m Ml%MriwikUU^!&li<iwi||'flM|WIU.Iv]iW!iJ n»abmttta»«»MMMMMijJii]mit]uuiil»»iaM NEARLY $1,400 DONATED HERE GENEROUS AMOUNT SECURED FOR FEEDING GERMAN CHILDREN. H. M. NOACK OF ARLINGTON SENDS A $100 CHECK. PLAN PLAY. Last Wednesday evening the differ ent sub-committees and others in terested in raising New Ulm's quota for the $3,000,000 German Child Feeding Fund had their final meeting at Turner Hall, when reports were read of the monies collected by the various sub committees. When it was announced by the chairman that the total moneys collected aggregated the sum of $1, 272.65, there was general satisfaction all around, because this, was,a larger amount than had bednlhbped for. Increased to Nearly $1 400. Since the comrMtte6s completed the work, Mayor 'L. A. Fritsche has re ceived a $100 check from H. M. Noack of Arlington $22 from A. C. Ochs of Springfield, and a number of smaller amounts from local people, making the grand total about $1,400. This is very gratifying. Without exception, the committees reported that they were very well re ceived wherever they called, and were well satisfied with the moneys donated, if it is considered that quite a number of people are out of work and so many have enough to do to meet their own obligations. Names Will be Published. It was decided to publish the names of the donois in the New Ulm Post and this will be done as soon as the lists are in the hands cf D*. L. A. Fritsche, treasurer of the committee. This may take a week or two. In th meantime ,those who have not been seen, may make such contributions as. they desire, leaving the money with the treasurer. Local Talent Preferred. s. In some of the earlier sessions the advisability of having a so-called "Volksfest" in the month of February was discussed at various times. At Wednesday's meiting, Albert Stein hauser reported that he was in receipt of a letter from Arthur Schaub cf St. Paul, to the effect that the St. Paul Theatie troupe, who are now assisted by twe professional actors of Chicago, desires to come to New Ulm and stage two plays February 5 and suggested that possibly a "Volksfest" should be arranged for that day to wind up with the German play in the evening. The consensus of opinion seemed to be, however, that it would be much better to have those two actors come to New Ulm and train in local talent, and Mr. Steinhauser was directed to secure further information. Quite a number of correspondences were read by Chairman Athanas Henle, pertaining to financial support for certain institutions and certain pur poses. It was decided, however, to do nothing about these appeals for aid and confine^the work of the committee to raising funds for the $3,0(50,000 drive. A vpte of thanks was given,the, New Ulm Turnvereirt"1 for plach, ,J he Hall at the disposal of the committee for meeting purposes. Mayor Entertains Committee. Before the meeting adjourned, Dr. Fritsche made a brief address in which he thanked those who had taken part in the drive and then invited them to a cup of coffee and a little lunch at his home on South German street, which invitation was most heartily accepted. It goes without saying that the com mittee was most royally entertained at the Fritsche home and it was quite late when they finally departed. The following members of the com mittee and others interested in the work accepted Dr. Fntsche's invita tion: Mrs. Frances Bellm, Miss Ida Heers, Mrs. Anna Maltzahn, Miss Alice Haeberle, Mrs. L. B. Krook, Mrs. Emmy Steinhauser, ^Mrs. Bertha Fenske, Mrs. August O. Berndt, Mrs. A. A. Alwin, Mrs. Martin Mueller, Miss Clara Steinhauser, Mrs. William Lieb, Mrs. Athanas Henle, Mrs. Theo.

DANCING. DIEW A DESPERATE DEATH. CITIZENSHIP CLASS FORMED. If the students of the New Ulm high school were just a fraction as persistent in getting their lessons, as they are in trying to persuade the local board of education to permit terpsi chorean diversions either in the high school building or at least under high school auspices, the faculty members would have every reason to rejoice, for the greater part of their daily troubles would be over. But—sad to relate—such is not the case. In stead, the'young peope who attend the local high school apparently give considerable more thought to /'feet exercise" than to 'brain exercise,' judging from their persistence in e vading rulers on dancing as repeatedly laid down by the board. "High School dances. Since the 13oard of Education refused to longer sanction dancing in the high school building a few years ago, vari ous methods have been employed by some of the students to circumvent this restriction, and terpsichorean diver sions were held at other places. Of late, some of the teachers seem to have been assisting the pupils in arranging such affairs. The board of education took cognizance of this matter at its adjourned regular meeting, Thursday e\ening, and instructed Superintendent Arnold Gloor to inform the student body, as well as the teachers, that fu ture dances must not be given under the name -of high school functions. Instructors are not to lend their as sistance to high school students in ar ranging affairs of this kind henceforth. Citizenship Class Formed^ Superintendent Gloor informed the board members that a class in citizen ship had been organized last Tuesday evening under the supervision of Prof. Herman Hein, physical instructor of the local public schools, who will jbe in charge. The class numbers 14 "resi dents of New Ulm, who are anxious, Sfeo/'learn the American language rand^ the rudiments of our form of gover&t iftent.

While Sheriff W. J. Julius has suf ficient reasons to complain of the "busi ness depression," so far as his "hostel ry" was concerned last year, the resi dents, and especially the taxpayers, of Brown county also have ample grounds to compliment themselves upon this fact, for, if the county jail is lacking in the number of "star boarders," it goes to show that the'people of the county are behaving themselves fairly well, to sayth^leastf. ,„ «S, Only 28 in Jail, ji^ Dulmg the year 1921 there wer^ only 2& prisoners in the Brown county jail in this city, of which one was-already confined therein when that year dawned, January 1, 1921. The prev ious twelvemonth was even more meager than the past year, as during 1920 only 21* prisoners—the record low mark up to this time—were confined in the county jail. Comparing these figures with 1917 and 1918, when the number of prisoners was 154, seems to prove that the people ars getting better rapidly. Those were the "banner years" of Sheriff Julius' official career. As late as 1919, he had to care for 70 prisoners in the county bastile during the twelvemonth. Nineteen twenty-two starts out rather ominously, for when Old Man Time turned his hour glass upside down at midnight, December 31, 1921, there were no legs than four prisoners in the county jail. This is orie-seventh the total number of "star boardero" last year. -^'V' ,**V^ 7 Cheap Board and Lodging. No one «an ever accuse Sheriff Julius of being*a profiteering-landlord, for his rates for board and lodging at the county bastile are bnly $1.00 per day. In view of the present-day high cost of living, it is rather surprising that "Hotel de Julius" did |Mt enjoy a greater patronage in 1921r *Even sq, the 28 prisoners received V'three squares" for a total of 539 days, costing the coullty $539. During the previous twelvemontn, the 21 prisoners were boarded a total of 251 days, at a"cost of $251. Although board was con siderably cheaper ill 1917, the 154 in mates of the county jail at that time cost the county a total board bill of $1,256:85, being for 1,742 days. Thosa were the "palmy days" at "Bill's Hostelry." Identification Departments For sevsral years past, Deputy Sheriff Herman Jahnke has been care fully compiling permanent records of all crimes that are brought to the at tention of the sheriff's office, as a lr»eans\of identifying critrinals, and theste 4ecord$aare arranged in alpha betical $rder!, Recording to^their natmes. Photographs, circulars''arid other in formation relative to c'rlrr^es com mitted throughout the United States are filed away for fdture reference as received at the sheriff's office, and the total number of identification cards now recorded is 3,299. Data for Past Yfcarr Of the 28 prisoners incarcerated in the Brown county jail last year, two were* females, according to the sheriff's annual report. Six of the prisoners were discharged at i?he expiration of their sentences, while three paid finds and costs and seven gave bail for ap pearance in cotirt.

One of the important matters dis posed of at the anrlual stockholders' meeting of the Stark Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company, held at Sleepy Eye on Monday of last week, was the increasing of the insurable value of all gram in bins and in granaries to three fourths, instead of two-thirds of the actual value. 2,716 Policies in Force. According to the annual report of the secretary, there were 2,678 poli cies in force, January 1,1921, covering an aggregate of $8,877,057 of insur ance. During the past year, 560 policies, totaling $2,131,485, were is sued, while 522 policies, aggregating $1,569,787, expired, leaving 2,716 policies in force at the close of 1921.

At)GUSt\2t ANDe 30 ARE 1922 BROWN COUNTY FAIR DATES. It will no doubt prove of interest to patrons of the Brown County Fair to learn that the free attractions, includ ing the big fireworks program, for this year'd event have already been booked by Secretary William A. Lindemann. And in this conrieetiori it can also b6 announced that these attractions rank among the top-notchers in this class of entertainment. Expense was not spared in securing this big part of the 1922 County Fair program, which costs the Agricultural Society considerably more money than last year, when, as a rule, higher prices prevailed. Some thing like $1,700 will be paid for free attractions foi this year's County Fairr aside irom the fireworks program whfchTatter will cost approximately $1,800 additidnal, making a total of $2,500 for entertainment features. Splendid Attractions. Secretary Lindemann and the entire management of the Brown County Fair is to be congratulated upon ths splendid attractions which have been secured for the 1922 exhibition. Every one of them is of a high moral standard and offers entertainment of an unusual and very interesting nature. The original "act beautiful," depict ing various truly artistic hunting scenes, is put on by a gentleman and lady with one horse and four hunting dogs—all characters in spotless white. Portrayed before a dark background, this act cannot fail to meet w^th the approval of all Fair visitors. This act is in the nature of statuesque postures and is truly remarkable. The Seven Flyifig Whirlwinds, sen sational Arabian gymnasts and pyra mid builders, appear in two thrilling acts, demonstrating their wonderful physique and great gymnastic ability. This is another top-liner. The Three Marvelous Kirks intro duce two new offerings in the enter tainment field, one of which is an illuminated triple trarieze act and the other a sensational slack-wire per formance. They execute a series of perilous feats upon an illuminated triple trapeze, 25 feet in the air. The tricks performed on the slack-wiie are new and novel. Their acts are a potpourri of unusual gymnastic feats and this trie is also rated as "A No. 1." Frank De Rue, comedy aerial and ground contortionist, is truly a laugh provoker. He introduces a medley of excruciating and button bursting com icalities and is great comedy gymnast. His "ccrk-screw" legs are a "hit" all by themselves. Wonderful FifeWork*. As stated above, this year's fireworks program at the Brown County Fair will eclipse anything previous}y at tempted,* as more money has been ex pended for this feature and great care was exercised in the selection of the massive set pieces. One of the latter will depict a threshing outfit and farm tractor in operation. There will also be a big colored alligator pursuing a fleeing pickaninny, and many other beautiful designs. The Gordon Fire works Company of Chicago, which put on the fireworks program at last year's Brown County Fair to -the universal satisfaction of the thousands of spec tators, have been engaged to stage this year's fireworks also.
