OTTO ZETTERBERG
WRITES ROAD LETTER

The following communication was
written by Otto Zetterberg, by request
Of the board Of directors of the Valley
City Commercial Club. The letter
reads as follows:
The theory that the roads in Dakota
are good the greater part Of the year
without any work being done on them
might be true to a certain extent, but
the same is also true about every
country.
When the weather conditions are
Just right, when W. have lots of ci.s.r
Gays with enough moisture to lay the
dust then any old load across the
country might do. 1t is when tie re-
verse is true, when we have either a
kng spell e. dry weather or great
deal of rain that We need the gOoi
roads, roads that have been built 20
resist these conditions. J. seems that
Il lat; gears we haze more Of mis-
t'cuble with our lead: perhaps the

Today with practically every tillable
acre Of land in Barnes County under
cultivation, with a many times larger
and more prosperous population it is
a different matter. Good roads, not
only main roads across the county
but we'll built and we'll kept roads in
every township is necessity. The
500, 900 road fund the Valley City Com
mercial Club is advocating, should moi
be spent in few townships to the de
triment of others but be distributed
in such a way that the money raised
should be divided among the severa
townships in proportion to taxes paid
In this way no injustice would be done
to any part Of the county and I firml,
believe that the spirit Of progress is
large enought in Barnes County that
we would all agree to build main roads
leading into the various towns an(
also through roads across the county.
Yours Truly,

Lowell, Mass, April 20.-Survivors
OF the famous Sixth Massachusetts,
regiment showed themselves today as
eager to defend the flag as when they
marched through the Baltimore mob
to guard the capital in 1861.
At their f1ty-third reunion held in
Memorial Hall, Lowell, the thirty sur
vivors present voted unanimously to
pledge their continued loyalty and sup
port to the United States government,
and to offer in the present crisis their
services for any duty that they are
able to Aerform.
Copies of the resolutions adotped
at the meeting were sent to President
Wilson and to the congressman from
Massachusetts,, The resolution was in
troduced at the reunion by Conrad
Isaac N. Marshall Of Warham.
On April 10, 1861, the Sixth Massa-
chusetts was forced to march through
the streets of Baltimore while on the
way to Washington, to the defense
Of the capital, because confederate
sympathizers in the Maryland city had
torn up the railroad tracks &C.,.
During the march through the
streets the men were attacked by a
mob and three of the men were killed.
The regiment made it's way to Wash
ington, however, where its commander,
Col. Ed. Jones, was greeted by PHesi-
dent Lincoln with the statement that
his coming had saved the capital
Col. Jones, who recently died, became
after the war, head of a large manu-
featuring corporation in Binghamton,
NJ. Y.
William H. Jones was elected presi-
dent of the Sixth Massachusetts Regi-
ment association, Albert L. Dame and
Henry A. Dickson vice president and
Edwin F. Spofford aecretary.

CHARITY APPEALS "
TO Be MET BY CARD
Introduction to the Associated
Charities Will Take Place of
Money Donation.

The Associated Charities has worked
out a plan for relieving business and
professional men from the annoyance
of being accosted on the street and in
the office by men and women begging
for money, and at the same time has
given them an opportunity to extend
real aid where aid is needed. A sys-
tematic first aid to the needy" plan
has beer adopted, by which applicants
for aid are given a card directed to the
Associated Charities. with 4 numter on

even for money to buy milk 'or L SILK
baby' or to ray rent to prevent eject
ment" said an official of the Associated
aarities in e. plain ng the ne.1 Dlaa.
Some of these need help. Others do
not, but find begging for living far
easier than working for one. In either
case, more than mere money is needed,
and money alone more often harms
than does permanent good. A person
appealed to rarely mas the time to go
into the merits of the case. His choice
is either to give or to refuse. If he
