stated that while this prescription is

FARMERS MAY CONTINUE GOOD
ROAD WORK THIS SEASON

The improvement of the roads in a
permanent way has taken such a hold
upon the farmers around Mankato that
there is talk of continuing the work of
graveling the roads during the coming
summer. George NJ. Palmer, chairman
of the Commercial club committee on
good roads, has been approached by
three different farmers with a proposal
that the work of hauling gravel be
continued during such times in the
summer as the farmers are not busy.
Mankato township is deserving of
great credit for voting $500 with
which to drag the roads during the
coming season. For two years past it
has paid half of this cost, and the
benefit is 50 manifest that the town
