Attorney Ed. Rogers, of Walker,

The Road Maker.

The civilized man makes roads
the savage does not. That is the
safest test of civilization.
Among US, in all communities, are
individuals who are not really civil.
lied. They do not take any inter.
est in roads.
A mans scale in civilization is
very correctly tested by his attitude
toward the stone which has rolled
into the road or the tree which has
blown down across the road. The
man who drives around the obstacle
day after day is one sort of man;
the one who stops his team and rolls
or drags 1t away is another. And a
person passing along road which
he does not expect to retrace who
removes the obstruction for the sake
of the stranger who comes after him
responds to very high test of civil
ization. He feels socially.
When the snow piles up in the
road the man who goes ahead and
breaks the path for others bears the
burden which he who has made pro.
gress always must bear. There is
snow in every road-to cooperation
to better schools, to better business
methods. There must be road
breakers for every path. The roac
maker is the great civillzer.-Farn

A eovERAkEN1' ROAD
Bill for Construction BY U. S. Of
Road Through National Forest.

A bill has been introduced in the
United States Senate, by Senator
Nelson, for the appropriation OF
$4,000, to be expended by the Sec.
retary of Agriculture in cooperation
with officials of the State of Mime.
sofa, in the construction of a high
way at a point on the shore of Lake
Superior to be selected by the Se-
cretary Of Agriculture, and extend
ing thence in a northerly direction
through the National Forest.
1t may be little premature, but
the wish is controlling that when it
comes to expenditure OF this money,
if appropriated, ample opportunity
will be given to show tho feasibility
of such all expenditure in Cook
county. The old Guntllnt road, for
instance, upon which there is moe
traffic northward through the Ma
tional Forest than any other road on
the north shore. offers shining
mark for the expenditure of just
about $4,000 very profi.ably and
in entire accord with provisions and
apparent purposes of this bill.

Our Progressive Nelghbor.

The cooperation of Lake county
in building the North Shore auto
mobile road was somewhat an un-
known quantity until our autoists
first went oyer their roads last sea-
son and brought back glowing re-
ports of their highways. We are
glad to note that good roads are up.
permost in their program.
The following is taken from the
Duluth News Tribune of a recent
date:
"As result of the action taken by
the board of county commissioners Lake
county will have sufficient funds during
the summer to construct roads that the
county has not been able to build on &C.
count of lack Of funds.
J. T. Paulson, county auditor, pur-
suant to instructions from the board,
went to st. Paul and took up with the
state board Of investment the question
Of placing $4,000 Lake county road and
bridge bonds with the state. The state
body by resolution accepted tho appli-
cation without the formaiity Of special
bond election.
The state now holds over $2.O0O,OO0
of eastern bonds drawing per cent in
terest, and these bonds are to be dis
posed Of and the state will then loan the
money to counties and municipalities in
Minnesota at the rate OF 4 per cent.
This will add considerable to the income
Of the state, and IN addition will make
it possible for municipal bodies to obtain
funds at reasonable rate of interest.
The fact that the state board OF in
veatment will not require special elec-
tion authorizing this issue of bonds will
save large item of expense.
A resolution was passed by the Two
Harbors Commercial club commendin3 :
the action of the county board in ar
ranging for the issuance and sale of road
and bridge bonds. The board was ad-
vised that it had the unanimous support
of the Commercial club.
The board unanimously passed the re-.
solution required by the state boord OF
Investment. Construction of hlghwpye
will start as soon as the funds are avail.
able."

Val molcic a War Prisoner

Val Molcic, or "l.ittle Val", as he
was generally called by his Grand
Marais acquaintances, writes from
Edgewood, B. g., that he is a
prisoner of war in an internment
camp at that place, with 200 other
Austrians and Germans. This in
formation is contained in letter
written January 23rd, by Molcic to
Fred Jackson, and stamp endorse
ment on the envelope shows that 1t
was passed by the inturnment censor
on January Oath. Val is not enjoy.
ing life as prisoner of war. ..,l'o
tell the truth, he says. "life III here
Is not very good, and I would like
to get OUT; and he seems to think that
those who know him here might be
able to do something to help him
out of his present dilemma. Though
seasoned enough in his Americanism
not to become unduly excited over
the troubles of his mother country,
MIR. Jackson is a native of England,
and his sympathies naturally are with
her in the great war, but this will
not deter him from giving his young
Austrian friend helping hand if
he can do so; because, he says, (and
III this all of Molcic's acquaintances
in this county will agree with him)
the latter's we'll known happy
and peaceful disposition is ample
guaranty that his presence in Cana
da is not a menace to that country.
From the time OF his immigration to
America in 1905, until about 1918,
Molcio resided in this county, and
there is not the slightest blot upon
the record of his stay In these parts.
He was all industrious, law.abiding
and useful citizen. 1t was through
mischance that he is not now a
naturalized American. The records
OF the clerk of court of this county
chow that he did formally declare
his intention to renounce allegiance
to the Austrian government and tc
become an American citizen; and he
applied to be admitted to full cit,.
zenship. but lett this county before
the date fixed for final hearing on
same.

War Order Prosperity.

Increased sales and better collec-
lions all over the United States, as
result of our war order prosperity
are shown by the second annual mer-
chandlse research report Of the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs OF the
World, which compares the 1916
trade in six representative business
lines with 1914. During two-thirds
OF 1914 trade in all lines was stag
mating in this country, but in 1915
the ring of gold poured into the lap
of American labor by the stupendous
trade incentive Of the European war;
becomes the clink of coin on the
counters of the retailers.
The report shows the following in
creases in sales, by percentages, 1915
over 1914, in the lines investigat-
ed: Department stores, 10 per cent;
grocery stores, s.S per cent; cloth
ing stores, 17.9 per cent; hardware
stores, 1873 per cent; drug stores,
11.6 per cent; jewelry stores. 1879
per cent. Every geographical divis-
ion shows an increase in retail trade
in these six lines In 1915 over 1914,
the smallest being recorded in the
Pacific states-Californla, Oregon
and Washington, where the effect Of
the war order stimulus in dispelling
the Democratic business depression
OF 1914 has been felt more remotely.
The S. H. Kress Company, five and
ten cent stores, show increased sales,
over 1914, of SOL per cent.
