benefit of several thousand Minneso-
tans then stationed on the Mexican
border, but now with thousands of

Gated i'll dozen camps in as many
states of the Union as we'll as abroad
new problems have arisen which in
a measure render this law almost in
operative. The principle trouble is
the lack of tim e. Another is doubt
as to the right of the state to send
the ballot abroad. Under the Min.
nesota election laws the last day for
filing in case of county, municipal and
town office is twenty days before the
primary and in state offices forty
days. 1t does not require any stretch
of the imagination to show that to
convey the ballot to the soldiers, dis
tribute and count the same in this
brief period is a physical impossible
ity; in fact in the case of Minnesotans
abroad such cannot simply be done
! Forty days is brief enough, but the
twenty days period as it applies to
county and municipal offices is moth
ing but absurd. With better than
$4,000 Minnesotans of voting age in
the service of the United States and
all of them in camp, this is an i'm

Eight Millions
For State Roads
Better Transportation for the Farm
ers Is Aimed to Help Win
the War.

Nearly $8,OOO,O0O will be spent on
state and county road improvements
in Minnesota during 1918, according
to estimates of C. M. Babcock, state
commissioner of highways.
| National interests and assistance in
winning the war, rather than advanc-
ing any Individual community, will
be the special aim in the years pro-
gram, he says. TRANSPORTATION of
foodstuffs and other supplies will be
kept especially in mind
"Unless conditions in transporta-
tion grow worse than they are now,"
Mr.. Babcock said, 1--WE will be able
to carry out the 1913 program. All
road work in Minnesota will be done
this year with an idea cf providing
better highways and therefore cheap
er transportation for farm products
mineral and timber for prosecution
of the war"
| Funds to be used are itemized as
follows:
County road and bridge levies S4,-
| 167, 900; state aid $2,220,OOO; federal
aid for 1917, $142,398; federal aid for
1918, S248,778; federal aid for 1919,
S425,865; special levies to meet fed
eral aid S5OO,O0O. Total S7,74O,941.
Federal aid for all three years listed
will be paid this year.
This total is nearly double the
amount spent in 1917. It does not
include about S5,OOO,OOO to be spent
Independently by townships and vii
lagos.
1t will be noted that s2,22O,0OO of
the total sum is state aid. This has
already been apportioned to the sew
eral counties Of the state. Renville
county will receive $4,000; Blue
Earth $4,000; Cottonwood, S23 900;
Nicollet, $4,000; Redwood, S25 800,
and Watonwan, $4,000. Under the
law no county can receive less than
one per cent nor more than three per
cent of the total of the fund appor-
toned.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in
Similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.

A Modern Prayer
Worth Reading

The following is a prayer for a
blessing which has been suggested by
modern church methods:
20, Lord, | come to Thee in PRAYER
once more,
But pardon me if l do not kneel
before
Thy gracious presence, for my knees
are sore,
With so much walking. In my chain
instead
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my
head
I've labored in Thy vineyard, Thou
does know;
I've sold ten tickets for the minstre
show;
I've called on fifteen strangers in oul
Their contributions to our church put
down.
I've baked a pot of beans for Satur-
days spree,
An old-time supper it is going to be-
I've dressed three dolls, too, for an
nual fair
And made a cake which we must raf-
file there
Now, with Thy boundless wisdom, SO
sublime,
Thou knowest that these duties all
take time
| have no time to fight my spirit s
foes,
| have no time to mend my husbands s
clothes.
My children roam the streets from
morn till night,
| have no time to teach them what
is right.
But thou, 0 Lord, considering all my
cares,
Wilt count them righteous and wilt
heed my prayers.
Bless the bean supper and the min
strel. show,
And put it into the hearts of all to go.
Induce the visitors to patronize
The men who in our program adver-
tise,
Because | have chased these mer-
chants till they hid
Whene'er they saw me coming-yes,
they did!
Increase the contributions to our fair,
And bless the people who assemble
there;
Bless Thou the grab-bag and the
gypsy tent,
The flower table and the cake that's
sent.
May our whist club be to Thy service
blest,
Our dancing party gayer than the
rest.
And when Thou hast bestowed these
blessings, then,
We pray that Thou wilt bless our
souls. Amen"

GERMAN HAS LIBERTY BONDS.

There are many funny things hap
pening in this war as well as many
tragedies. One of the grimmest jokes
we have heard of was ON German
merchant in Barcelona who gave a
Spanish sea captain a check for sew
eral thousand dollars on a New York
bank and asked him to bring back the
money in gold. When, the captain
found that he wouldn't be allowed to
take any gold out of the country, he
invested the seven thousand dollars
in Liberty Loan bonds which he car
ried back to the waiting German. The
reception he received can better be
imagined than described.-Red Wing

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbing sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
