The new postal savings banks in
St. Paul and Minneapolis were
opened on September 1st. The re-
suit Of the first days business in
both cities, but especially in St.
Paul was most gratifying, and the
postalauthorities are highly pleased
at the amount Of business done.
The people seem to take much in
terest in the new department. The
number of depositors in the ST.
Paul Office on the first day, were
70, and the total amount deposited
was So, 176. There were 81 depos-
its of 500 each, the limit allowed
by the law. The deposits in the
Minneapolis bank during the first
days business amounted to little
less than $1,000.

The sacred stiffness. until up spoke
Who blushing said: what lovely vacel'.
Over three faces sad smile flew.
And they edged away from Kalamazoo.

To crush the stranger with one small word

But brief her unworthy triumph when

With the consciousness of the grandpapas.

Gypsy song

The wind, and the sky and the sun,
And the open trail and free,
A staff and packard One
To take to the road with me,
Over the hills that lure,
Under the trees that sway,
Laughing, and strong, and-poor,
Out on the wander way!
The wind, and the sum- and the sky,
A star-strewn vault at night
And two hearts beating high.
Athril with an old delight!
Out from the fret of the town,
Free Of the ties that gall,
Venturing up and down
Under the wander thrall.
The sky, and the sum- and the wind
And One on the road fare,
Slender and gypsy-skinned,
My gypsy ways to share,
Life that is void of STRESS
Love that is leal and true;
The road and the winds caress,
Sun and the sky-and you!

Although the problem of dust pre-
vention on public highways Is by no
means Il new one. it's Importance has
been greatly accentuated by the COM
paratively recent Introduction of the
automobile, says the Scientific Amer
ican The dust raising tendency OF
the latter Is due to the destructive
shearing action of the tires of the driv
Ing wheels and the intense suction
and eddying producing effect of the car
body in passing swiftly over surfaces
which have been already oosened up
by tire action. In the days of the
horse drawn vehicle the iron shoes of
the horse and the tires had 81 tendency
to consolidate rather than loosen up
the surface of we'll made macadam
road and the comparatively small
amount OF dust which gathered could
be sufficiently laid by one or two daily
trips of the watering cart. The advent
Of the automobile, however, has com
plicatcd the problem greatly, and ii
has become necessary not merely to
fad more efficient means for laying
the dust. but to provide also a method
OF road construction which will more
firmly bind the road material together
and enable it to stand up under the
extreme conditions which the automo
bile has imposed
The most valuable quality in an,
dust preventive is its ability to hold
together the finely divided material
which is produced on or near the sur

are coal tar. refined coal tar and water
gas tar. They may be used effectively
either by applying them to a road al
ready finished or by incorporating them
in the surface material OF the rolC
during construction. In applying the
tar to an old road the surface should
be thoroughly dry. comparatively warm
and free from dust.
Moisture prevents the tar fro,
proper contact with the stone. and "a
cold surface stiffens the material and
prevents its being absorbed. Before
the application is made vuts and hol
lows should be filled and the surface
brought up to smooth and even con
dition. The tar, heated to about l3e
degrees F., is spread upon the rord
through hose or by other suitable
means and Is then thoroughly broon,ed
In.
After this has been done. to secure
good results, the surface treated should
be closed to all traffic for about twelve
hours so as to give the tar an oppor
tunity to thoroughly sink in the sui.

AS Spring Valley items in the
Herald will be scarce this week | will
write a short sketch of a part of my
trip to the banks of the Big Muddy
and return. On Monday of last
week took my accustomed eight
mile walk from Spring Valley to
Hurley and from there took the
afternoon train to Parker, where |
had delightful overnight visit with
Mr.. and Mrs. d. c. Smith, old time
pioneers of Turner county. On
Tuesday took the l:20 p. M. train
on the Milwaukee to Chamberlain
where arrived in due time and was
met at the station by my old time
Swan Lake friend and neighbor F.
X. (kim) Berry, who took me to his
spacious and cozy home where | met
FOR the first time, his wife, a fine
type of womanhood who presides
over her home with pride and digni-
ty. Miss Efie, his daughter, has
lately returned from a two years
visit with her brother Lee in Idaho
Clarence has a clothing house in
Canton and Fred and his father have
a we'll filled clothing store in Cham
berlain. The city is governed by the
commission plan and Mr.. Berry is
mayor. The city is prosperous and
growing and is we'll worth visiting.
The million dollar cement plant
which will be completed next fall
will add much to the wealth and
of the city.
| greatly enjoyed a two hour side
walk visit with Ole Stewart, an old
time pioneer of Swan Lake. | also
had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Bissel, former resident of Hurley
He is stock buyer and spends much
of his leisure time angling for fish
along this historic river.
On Thursday morning bright and
early bade my friends goodbye and
started for the train which almost
but as "a miss is as good as
a mile" | congratulated myself on
ny being on time.
At Plankington stopped off for
a two days visit with an old time
school school mate of mine who
lived several miles out in the country
and with whom | had not met but
once in forty years. On my return
to town. Raymond, the son of my
friend drove me to town with high
strung horse. While on the road
one of the lines got away from him
and the horse ran about hundred
rods before he could stop it. 1t was
an exciting experience but there was
no harm done beyond the breaking
of four spokes.
The weather here TODAY is very
fine, but it is also very dry. A man
a Wolsey told me Saturday that they
had had no rain to amount to any,
thing for over year. A few far
mers have begun seeding and most
of them will begin in few days.
