Sentiment in favor of the im-
provement of the Minnesota river
was strong at the meeting of the
league bearing the name of the
stream which was held at the city
hall i'm this city today. The attend
ance was large and there was not
discordant note to mar the pro-
ceedipgs. Men from about every
town in the Minnesota valley were
in attendance, and this was evidence
enough that there is widespread
interest In the project to make the
Minnesota river go to work instead
of idling away the energy that could
be developed from the stream,
provided the federal government
came to the aid of those who are
interested in the present movement.
Nesting Of the League.
The Minnesota River Improvement
league met at the Commercial club
rooms today at 1920. About TWEEN
ty-five men were present to discuss
and report ON the matter of straight.
ening the Minnesota river and build.
ing reservoirs SO as to improve the
river for navigation.
The purpose of the meeting today
was to furnish additional facts in
support of the improvement and to
submit a proposition of cooperation
to the government asked for by the
general board of engineers of the
United States. A hearing was held
in st. Paul on October 49, Now it
is up to the people living in towns
along the Minnesota river to aid the
government to devise ways and
means for the Strengthening Of the
Minnesota river and the construc-
ton of the Lac Qui Parle reservoir
i'm aid of navigation and the con-
trolling of the flood waters of the
Minnesota river and that of it's tri-
butaries, as recommended by the
district engineer at St. Paul.
A. L. Poehler Presided.
Those present were: A. B.
Kaercher of Ortonville, president of
the Minnesota Improvement and
Power company; DR.. L. A. Fritche

as trains on the railroads, and pow
er from the river would light and
heat the houses in the valley, as
the result of new transformer
invented by Edison.
A farmer asked whether the farm
ers subscribing would have vote
on the officers, and was answered in
the affirmative.
Report of Collections.
Secretary j. H. Diers reported
that the collections up to year ago
were 1920 for the leagues treas
ury, of which $1,220 was donated by
the cities in the valley, $3.50 by
President Poehler, attorney Irwin
and Secretary Diers for expenses.
and the balance from others. There
had been talk that the officers were
riding in flying machines and au-
tomobiles and having good time at
the company's expense and accom-
plishing nothing, but there was no
truth to this.
The committee to revise the sta
tistics is composed of ]. H. Diers,
Dr. L. A. Fritsche and c. A. John
son.
Tomorrow morning c. A. Johnson,

Twenty-siX to nothing are the
figures of Importance in the story
of the football contest between the
Mankato normal team and the Wells
boys at Lewis Athletic park on Satur-
day The normal boys proved them
selves superior in every way to the
visitors in this game and did the
most satisfactory work of the season.
They ended up the season well, this
the last game.
Because of the cold weather Satur-
day afternoon the teams warmed up
Immediately upon reaching the field,
while the lineSmen and judges were
getting things ready. Shortly after
three O'Clock the whistle blew and
the game was on. About seventy-five
people were present to see the game
which was considered good crowd
to brave the cold wind. The high
board fence, however, kept the wind
out fairly well. yet the cold was so
biting that a number of linesmen on
bOths sides wore gloves.
Wells Won the Toss.
Wells won the toss and chose to
defend the north goal. The normals
kicked off to Wells, the ball going
down towards the Wells goal line.
The visitors returned the ball about
ten yards The locals held the Wells
boys for downs and forced them to
punt on the third time. Brazier OBJ
tanned the ball at about the forty
five yard line carrying it back to the
center of the field. By end runs and
plays just off tackle, they carried the
ball well down towards Wells goal
line where Hephner carried the ball
around the left for the first touch
down.
Wells again chose to receive the
kick and the normals obtained the
ball on an intercepted forward pass.
Mankato then worked the ball down
to within twenty-five yards of the
Wells goal line and Captain Walsh
was called on for drop kick. He
failed in the attempt but followed
up his kick which struck within the
field of play. He again gained posses
sion of the ball and made touch
down with it.
In the beginning of the second
quarter Mankato kicked off, Wells
gaining about twenty yards when the
locals again held them for downs
and carried the ball down within
one yard of the Wells goal line.
There they lost the ball on downs
and Wells was forced to punt out
from behind their own goal line.
Wells Punted Out of Danger.
Wells then punted out of danger
and Braizer obtained the ball out OF
bounds By well executed forward
passes, Mankato gained about fifteen
yards and on two tackle plays, Far
isy carried the ball over for the
third touchdown. The score was
stood Is to 0.
The normal again kicked off to
Wells and the second quarter ended
with the Wells team in possession
of the ball we'll back in their own
territory. At the beginning of the
second half Wells kicked off to Man.

j0rity Of such roads on account of the
frequent difficulty Of obtaining water
near at hand and the consequent ex-
cessive cost; therefore various arti-
fetal dust layers have been produced,
many of them acting with water to
produce the desired effect
As compared with water sprinkling
for dust laying, the use of the various
artificial palHatives is generally con.
sidered the cheaper.
Calcium chloride is highly hygro-
scopic and delquescent salt. The COM
mercial form, known under the trade
name Of Solvay granulated calcium
chloride, is byproduct of the manu-
facture Of soda by the Solvay process.
It contains about Is per cent Of CAL
cium chloride and about Is per cent of
moisture It's effectiveness as dust
layer depends very much upon its
property of retaining moisture applied
to the road surface and absorbing
moisture from the atmosphere, thus
greatly increasing the effect of water
applied directly to the road, and also
making available that existing in the
air above it. 1t Is applied by either Of
two methods, the "wet' or the dry"
BY the first it is dissolved in water and
applied from an ordinary sprinkling
cart, a solrtion of from one pound to
: one and one-half pounds of the mate
rial to each gallon Of water being used
The second method Is especially ap-
plicable where water is not easily OBJ
, tanned, though 1t is often used else
where. By this method the dry mate
rial in its granular form is spread d.
rectly upon the road and allowed to
dissolve by the absorption of moisture
from the CIR.
Dustoline is transparent liquid of
brown or plum color, practically
! without odor. 1t is shipped in barrels
or in tank cars and is applied directly
to the roat without heating or mixing
with water or other material. Ordi-
, nary waite" sprinkling carts may be
used to apply it. or it may be sprinkled
by hand 18th garden watering pot.
1t acts as dust layer by holding to-
gether the fine particles on the road
surface In moist condition, thereby
keeping the road free from dust. IS.

WAYS TO SOLVE !. !:
DUST PROBLEM

Without Water.
ARTIFICIAL METHODS USED.

9oivay, Granutated Calcium Chloride
and Dustoline, Have Been Found to
Absorb Moisture From Air and Keep
Highways DustIess-can Be Sprin-
kIed on Roads by "Dry" Method.
At present the science Of road build
ing, at least Of building what may be
called general utility roads, is in an
important phase Of it's development,
says Good Roads Of New York. The
methods that were satisfactory so long
as the vehicles passing over the roads
were drawn by horses have been found
inadequate for the construction Of
roads capable Of withstanding the
destructive effects Of motor driven w.
hicles, and new methods are being
evolved. Meanwhile the old roads
must be adapted as well as possible to
the present conditions.
Excepting smo0thness Of surface,
perhaps nothing ia more essential to
the comfort and well being of those
using road or spending a portion of
their time in its immediate vicinity
than that it be free from dust.
Various means have been tried in the
endeavor to solve the dust problem.
In general they may be classed as pre-.
vention and suppression, the dividing
line being by no means easily drawn,
since suppression necessarily implies
a measure of prevention. The pre-
vention of the formation Of dust is
more or less matter Of construction,
while suppression is the laying Of the
dust constantly forming on the surface
Of roads.
Since the majority of the roads OF
the country are earth, gravel or water
bound macadam one of the chief
phases Of the dust problem is the lay.
ing of dust on these roads. It Is gen.
orally conceded that water sprinkling,

ployed, is not practicable for the ma
