The Grocer and the
Home

The small grocer controls
seventy per cent. of the food
product trade of the country.
The goods move directly
over his counter to the family
larder. He is a neighborhood
institution. He comes in close
contact with his customers a.
all times and intimately
knows their likes and dis
likes.
1t would be strange if the
grocery man were not quick
to sense the influence of
newspaper advertising. He
knows customers begin call
ing for certain brands by
name when these brands are
newspaper advertised. What
is more natural than that he
should push these particular
articles?

COMMERCIAL, CLUBACTIvITIEs

Speaking of the city streets, there
is one town in Iowa where the far
mer or the tourist can no longer say:
"The roads in the country were fine,
but as soon as we reached the city
limits they were awful" That town
is Sioux City. 1t grew tired of the
old complaint that the worst roads
in the vicinity were those in the city
limits leading out into the country,
so it availed itself of the Farr paving
law, which permits paving to be done
and the expense levied against the ad-
joining property on the outskirts to
the extent of twenty-five per cent OF
the value of the property. The re-
suit was that twenty miles of sixteen
foot concrete pavements were laid,
reaching the city limits on all main
roads out into the country. The pave
ment is eight inches thick in the CEN
ter and six at the sides. The steep
est grade allowed was seven per cent,
and where the grade reaches four per
cent, the surface is dished instead of
crowned, forming a drain to carry
away the water and prevent wash in
the dirt shoulders and side bitches.
The water is carried away at the
foot of the incline by means of con-
crete runways into the side bitches.
Sioux City has reached high degree
of excellence in laying concrete.

streets where the most minute search

COUNTY BOARD HELPS
VOTED ROAD MONEY
GAVE LITERALLY TO IMPROVE
POOR FARM HIGHWAY
Commercial Club Committee Went Be-
fore the Commissioners This Morn
ing; Declined to Make 1t State Thor
oughfare, But Appropriated Sixteen
Hundred Dollars For Improvements
from TUESDAYS paTv

from Tuesdays paTv
A committee of the Commercial club
consisting Of Theodore Just, E. M.
Zuel and John Macbeth, accompanied
by j. E. Swartout, farmer of the poor
farm road, went before the county
board this morning on road matters.
Mr.. Swartout presented a petition
signed by several hundred farmers,
asking that the poor farm road be re-
instated as a state road. 1t was once
state road.
The county board took the position
that it could not very well make that
state road, because within mile
on either side and parallel with it are
two state roads, and the state high
way commission would probably not
stand for it.
But the county board made an ap-
preparation of $1,000 to help improve
this road between a certain limit and
the poor farm, which includes several
bad hills. 1t is understood that the
township board will increase this
amount to close on to $4,000.
City Must Help.
The action of the county board,
however, was made contingent on the
city of Mankato improving the road
within the city limits to connect with
this road. 1t is the road through
Tnckomville The matter will no doubt
be brought officially to the attention
of the city council at an early date.
The committee feels that the coun-
ty board was very liberal in its action
and feels highly pleased with the out
come of it's visit.
The farmers have donated time and
labor in fixing this road and it is well
graveled beyond a point two mile from
the city limits. The money is to be
spent between the city limits and this
point, permanently grading the hills
and graveling them, thus making a
complete job of it.

STATE ACC|E SOCIETY
BOOKED FOR January

The fifty eighth annual meeting of
the Minnesota State Agricultural So
ciety has been set at January 9 to II,
inclusive, by the state fair board. 1t
will be held in the court house in
Minneapolis.
The afternoon of the first day will
be devoted to brief business session.
The Minnesota Association of Fed
Grated County Fairs is to be given
January 10. The annual dinner will
be held Wednesday evening. A morn
ing and afternoon program Of general
interest to state agricultural society
will be given on Thursday. On Friday
morning a business session will be
held, at which a president, vice pre,si-
dent and three members of the fair
board will be elected.
The announcement of Charles P.
Craig of Duluth that he is not to be
candidate for reelection to the presi-
dency has limited the field of aspirants
to two candidates, They are George
Atchison of Mankato and F.. w.
Murphy of Wheaton. Since Mr.. Atchi-
son is the senior member of the board
and since his term as board member
expires this year, while Mr.. Murphy
has two years to serve as a board
member, it is believed that Mr.. sAtchi-
son will be elected. Mr. Atchison has
been one on the board nine years.
No Opposition to Patterson.
There will be no opposition to
Charles Patterson of st. Paul, who
seeks reelection as vice president OF
the board. The election of Thomas H.
Garfield of Lake Park, as secretary, to
succeed John c. Simpson, who leaves,
December Is, to take the general
managership of the Northeast States
Agricultural and Industrial Exposition
at Springfield, Mass, has left a va
cancy on the board, which it is be-
lieved will be filled by Judge Mike
Holm OF Roseau. Judge Holm comes
from the same part of the state as Mr..
Garfield and has been given strong In
dorsement by many agricultural or
CARNATIONS of the state.
Since the expiration of the terms Of
Mr.. Atchison and w. w. Sivright of
Hutchinson, who is not candidate for
reelection, takes two men off the
fair board from the southern part of
the state, it is believed probable that
one OF the new board members will be
elected from Southern Minnesota. The
other board member undoubtedly will
be chosen from Northeastern Mime
sofa, to represent that part of the
state from which Mr.. Craig comes.
Such. at least, is the opinion of per-
sons acquainted with the situation,

Wholesale Concerns Are Sending
Good Cheer to All Points.
Snow in the air and Christmas only
two weeks away The holiday spirit
is already in evidence, and the feast
days of the Yuletide are already being
prepared for in the Christian homes of
the country. Chief among the
thoughts for Christmas are those con-
corning the Christmas table, and the
Mankato markets this year are sup
piled with practically everything the
fancy and appetite could desire.
Local wholesale houses are busy to-
day sending out boxes of holly, holly
wreaths, evergreen wreaths, mistle-
toe, and other good things that go to-
ward a happy Christmas. All sorts
of early vegetables will be on the
market, including carrots, beets, green
onions, head and leaf lettuce, radish-
es, parsley, celery, tomatoes, melons,
box and barrel apples of all kinds,
and fruits from all parts of the
country.
Among the fruits for the Christmas
table are imported Malaga grapes,
oranges from northern California,
grape fruit, figs, dates, bananas, Cape
Cod and Jersey sweet potatoes. More
substantial foods are to be found in
Jersey Sweet potatoes, Delaware
sweet potatoes, Canadian rutabagas,
Michigan carrots and Washington
Melted ,Jem potatoes for baking.
The shortage of refrigerator cars
from the west is as bad as ever, and
many cars of apples from the. western
coast are shipped through with men
in charge, and the cars lined with
lumber and filling, with stoves in
them, to prevent the freezing of the
fruit.

IN MEMORIAM.

Henry Franklin RAIDER, eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William RAIDER. Of
Kellogg, Oregon, was born in Jack
son county, Kentucky, December %,
1874.
On April Z, 1916, he left his home
to look after his goats, on the high
bluffs. above the river.
As he stepped out on the over
hanging rock, it gave way, letting
him fall over the bluff; nothing on
earth could have saved him. So he
left the earthly body that had been
his dwelling place for IL years, and
entered into Gods rest.
There could hardly be better
testimonial of the esteem in which
he was held than was shown by the
gathering of men from everywhere
10 help in the search for him. But
to the brother who had been his
playmate and partner was given the
comfort Of finding all that was left
Of him on earth.
On April II kind friends laid the
broken body away in the beautiful
Elkton cemetery by the little sister,
whom he had loved in boyhood.
He leaves TO mourn his death, be-
side his parents four brothers: 4.
