ANOTHER PAW PAW BOY WINS

The city of Monroe, Michigan, re-
Gently held "City Beautiful" contest

several departments of the event. The
True Northerner is pleased to note
that one of our former Paw Paw boys,
w. H. Dansby, won the first prize of
$500 for the most beautiful garden
and yard in the city. Monroe is a
city Of 10000 and to win a prize of
that kind means something, and GER
tainly speaks well for the winner.
Will is another one of the Paw Paw
boys that has gone out and made good
He is the proprietor of large shos
store in Monroe. 1t is simply imposs-
ible to keep Van Buren, county boy
down. They are bound to make good
anywhere. The True Northerner ex-
tends congratulations to the winner Of
this contest.

THE ROAD QUESTION.

That the road building problem is
a serious proposition, not only in Van
Buren, county, but everywhere. The
rapid increase of Automobile traffic,
has made the building of good roads
imperative. 1t is no longer Hit
and Miss" proposition, with load Of
dirt here, a little scraping there, and
a new turn pike over yonder. The
necessity for good roads is every
where apparent, and the issue cannot
be lodged. The question is yet in its
infancy, but like everything else it
must become a science to keep abreast
of the times. 1t costs money and
plenty of it to build good roads. The
question then that should interest the
tax payer, for he is the one who foots
the bills, is how can he get the most
and best results for the money eXpen-
ded. In the opinion of the writer,
the time has come when it is abb
solutely necessary, in order to realize
lasting results from the road build
ing, that the surface of the road
must be treated with "Tarvia" or
some like preparation to bind the
"Top Dressing" and protect the foun-
dation of the road. Paw Paw has
built some splendid roads during the
past three years, but the appearance
of the first road built, west of the
village demonstrates the truth of our
contention. There must be some sur
face to bind the fine material or the
road will soon go to pieces, with
mighty poor returns for the money
expended. The automobile of course
is responsible for this condition. But
the auto is here to stay, and it is
coming faster and faster every year.
The question is how best to meet the
issue, and get roads that will stand
the use or abuse as the case may be.
Tarvia or any other surface dressing
costs additional money; but it would
seem to be economy in the long run
No one would argue for a minute the
ACCESSIBILITY of letting fine new build
ing go without paint, on account of
the extra expense. 1t seems to the
writer that this is a question worthy
of careful investigation, and should
receive consideration at the proper
time.

way possible. Further announcement
of the plans will be made in these

used to, for people as a rule are think

ARE YOU "HUMAN"?

Few people realize what the schools
are doing for our boys and girls.
True we buy the necessary books at
the beginning of the school year new
pair Of shoes and rubbers, mother
darns up the holes in the stockings,
and endeavors, most of them, to see
that the childs face and hands are
kept reasonably clean. All this Of
course as a regular routine of school
days. But how many fathers and
mothers take the time to sit down
and have a visit with the children
about the school work, not about the
book side Of it, but the real human
side. Occasionally there may be a
fight, not real Touchdown perhaps,
but a quarrel. Your boy or girl may
have to submit to punishment for
some unbecoming behavior. Do you
know anything about it? Do you
ever talk to your children about the
real human side of their school life?
If your boy or girl gets into trouble
(and this is but human you know do
they come home and tell you all about
it? Or do you have to hear it from
the neighbors children in order to
know what your boy or girl is doing.
The bringing up of these boys and
girls is a mighty serious and import
ant problem. A great deal depends
on the early training, and the school
days are the most important periods
'of their life. Give your boy and girl
a little attention on the "human" side
of their early life. Stand by the
teacher and assist them in
their important work. Don't bite a
child's head off if he comes home and
tells you of some misbehavior or
deviltry he has been up to, but talk
with him about it. Find out where
the blame is. Look back to the time
when you were a boy or girl, and be
human. Don't raise a child so he
will be afraid of his life, but get next
to him, and make a companion of him.
He will accomplish more under the
training and guidance of his teacher
and make a better man or woman.
Scolding has ruined many a child, and
"YOu shan't do this, that or the other
thing" are mighty dangerous ex-
pressions, and should be banished
from the English language.

Some folks have such a narrow two

see a thing from the other fellows
viewpoint. There are two sides to
every question and just remember
that while sore one may differ from
you on a proposition, that he is just as
much entitled to his opinion as you
are to yours. Try and be broad
enough to look a proposition up one
side and down the other. Your
little narrow one sided view really

CROP REPORT SHOWS DECREASE
IN WINTER WHEAT.

According to the government May
crop report for the state of Minnesota,
compiled by the bureau of crop estimates
and transmitted through the U. S.
weather bureau last Monday the amount
of winter wheat planted this year shows
a decided decrease, the production last
year having been 100000 and the
estimate only gives the state $4,000
bushels. The average throughout the
United States also shows a falling off,
but not 50 pronounced as that in the
state.
Spring blowing on May 1 was COM
pleted to the extent of about go per cent,
which is up to the standard set by former
years. Spring planting is only finished
to the extent of At per cent, as compared
to II per cent last year and &c per cent
for the ten-year average. The old hay
crop is estimated at about the same as
former years in the state, but the
balance of the country shows an increase
of at least 10 per cent over last year and
Is per cent over two years ago.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT PROBABLE
:: I. IN REDWOOD.

Agitation for the removal of the county
seat Of Redwood county from Redwood
Falls to Wabasso is again renewed and
it is very probable that the matter will be
threshed out in a hot campaign in the
course of the year. The rather queer
part of it all is that Wabasso citizens do
not seem so eager to get into the county
seat classification than the other towns
of the county. They seem reluctant to
enter the fight on account of the expense.
The Lamberton Star comes out in
favor of the court house removal on the
grounds that the present court house
buildings are in great need of repair. It
says:
1t is. no secret among those who
are in a position to know, that the
court house is actually in need of extern
sive repairs and that the building does
not afford enough room for the various
offices. to properly handle their records.
The cost of the repairs will be sufficient
to pay half the cost of a new building.
That the court houes will ultimately be
located in the center of the county is as
certain as the fact that water will seek
its level. There is absolutely nothing
to be, gained by delaying the removal to
Wabasso, the center Of the county.

P. O. SLEUTHS AFTER YECCMEN

, Postoffice sleuths are evidently de-
termined to break up the gangs of
yeggmen who have been paying visits
to the post offices in various parts of the
country of late and have asked the CO.
operation of police officers in the matter
by asking them to take particular notice
of tramps travelling in gangs. 1t evil
IDENTIFY is the belief of the department
that the robberies were committed by
hoboes rather than by professional
burglars. The great distances between
the post Offices visited has led them to
believe that the tramps live on the pro-
ceeds of their loot in their wanderings
and when they run short of funds re-
plenish them by the simple expedient
of tapping a government till. Tramps
seem to be giving New Ulm wide berth
for the past few weeks, only few having
stopped off at the usual hangout near the
brickyards of late and still less have
ventured into the city. 1t is no unusual
sight, however, to see dozen or more
on single freight train passing through
the city.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BE TOLD
STATES GREATNESS.

Superintendent of Public Instruction
C. G. Schulz, has sent to all of the
schools of the state booklet containing
a lot of facts about Minnesota, which
it would not hurt even grown-ups to
know. These things are to- be told the
children during the exercises held on
Minnesota Day, May II.
Here are some of the facts taken from
the booklet:
From SOFT in 1850, the population
grew to 172, 1923 in 1860.
A bushel of Minnesota corn will make
about ten pounds of pork when fed to
a hog.
If all the eggs laid in one day were
poured in one shell, it would make a
shell 20 feet long by Is feet in diameter
and it would be worth $4,000.
Minnesota hoists more ore than Ger
many; twice as much as England, and
three times as much as either France or
Spain.
The first sawmill was established near
Fort Smelling in 1921.
An army of $1,000 teachers directed
by 500 superintendent and SO county
superintendent have charge of All, 137
school children.
'The purpose of this day." Mr..
Schulz said, "is to invite a study of
