TRUNK HIGHWAY SCHEME.
A Dispatch from St. Paul Of Friday
Says:

The state highway department has
completed tie work o: laying out q
trunk line system of roads which
connects every part of the state and
affords the most comprehensive sys-
tenn of highways possessed by any
state in the Union.
The system, which comprises ap-
proximately $500 miles of roads,,
is divided into 80 main roads, or
or trails. Many of these trails have
been registered by organizations
which have succeeded in having
them laid out and several have
been marked by distinctive char
acters displayed on telephone poles
or on other conspicuous places.
So comprehensive is the system,
that every county seat, every city
or town of 1000 or more popula-
ton, and nearly every lake or resort
in this state of numerous lakes and
resorts, is reached by trunk line
road.
In fact it is estimated that more
than 95 per cent Of the people in
the state live within five miles OF
the center line of roadway of this
immense highway system.
It is expected that the variou.
commercial clubs, including Du--
luth's, The Ten Thousand Lake:
association and the st. Paul associ
alton will get behind the movement
to have each of these trunk lines
which are not already organized anC
blazed, put in proper shape before
the opening of the motoring season
of 1919.
One of the most important pro
jects now under way is the extend
ing of the "Orange and White
Trail" officially known as the".Bur
lington Way" from St. Paul, it
present northern terminus, to Du
luth and Port Arthur, Ont. Thi
highway would connect the Gulf ant
the Great Lakes and continue int
Canada, becoming as important, i
not more so, than the Jefferson high
way which has proved Of such grea
benefit to the state.

Ninth District and is an outgroweA OF |
the individual allotment plan Sener
ally practiced in this district In the
third Liberty Loan campaign.
When the individual allotment plan
first was taken under consideration
there were suggestions and insinua-
lions that It savored of coercion but
it was put into effect with such care
and diplomacy that these insinuations
were speedily dissipated as 1t was
seen that the individual allotment
plan had had its ambition only that
every individual should do his just
share, no more, no less. In eacn
community local committees met
weeks prior to the actual opening OF
the third campaign and checked over
the residents of their respective COM
munities, seeking to gain an INTEL
ligent idea of what each individual In
the community should take In bonds
as his or her just share.
In some sixteen of the two hundred
and Lightweight counties the local
committees went even farther with
this plan and instead of merely arm
ing their statesmen with an intelligent
idea Of the individuals buying power.
the committee sent notices to each
prospective bond purchaser asking
them to call at certain centrally To-
Gated places at specified times and
purchase the amount of bonds allotted
to them. This was the first expert
ment with "over the counter" buying
and it was so successful that the ex-
ecutive committee has recommended
1t generally for the Fourth Campaign.
| In Steele county, Minnesota. three
thousand, nine hundred and eighty
four out Of four thousand persons no
titled to come in and sign up for their
allotments stepped right up to the
mark and signed up for their bonds.
OF the sixteen who failed to appear
some were sick and some were away
from home.

The people of Minnesota are
asked to give 400 tons of used clo-
thing as a contribution to 5000 tons
to be collected in the United States
for shipment by the American Red
Cross to ten millions of people in
Belgium and Northern France, who
have been reduced to the grimmest
want by the Prussian robbers. The
Minnesota food administration is CO.
operating with the Red Cross to
complete the collection Of Minneso-
ta's 400 tons of clothing before
September 80. Persons having old
clothing to give in response to this
appeal for broken but heroic people
should notify the Red Cross or the
local food administrator.

our money do us should the Kaiser
