Case of Pious Profiteering.

It has been suspected that some
people join the church because Of So
cial advantages that attach to church
There even has been q
suspicion that certain shrewd trades
men prize their church connection
chiefly as a means of securing the
patronage of their religious brethren,
but an entirely new form of pious pro.
fiteering has come to light in the case
of the party who rented pew at a
popular city church and later sublet it
to another worshipper at neat mar
gin above the original cost.
The canny speculator who thus cap
italized his support of the church
found the free sittings agreeable to
his own use and he doubtless received
there all the spiritual food that a
soul of such size as the one he carried
about could be expected to assimilate.
If there were any possibility that
such a worshipper should ever en-
trance to the pearly gates we might
expect that he would soon be looking
about for a purchased for the golden
harp and crown with which the saints
are supposed to be equipped soon after
their admission to that celestial city

The solution of the problem is hard
surfaced roads. Did the reader ever
notice that when the railroad compa-
MES started to use the big "mogul" To-
connective they didn't run them over
any old track? Instead they built
tracks for the new type of iron horses.
They replaced the 80 and go pound
steel with 80 pound steel. In many
places they even rebuilt their entire
road bed, and put heavier ties under
the heavier steel.
That is the process which our road
system will have to 60 through before
we can run autos and at the same time
have good roads. The roads over
which automobile frequently travei
will have to be equipped with new
steel"-a new wheeling surface.
The travelling public cannot expect
an earth road to stand up under heavy
auto traffic. The taxpayers will find
earth roads to be much more expensive
and at the same time much more nm
comfortable to ride over than hard
surfaced roads. They will feel, with
earth roads that are bad in the spring
and bad in the fall, and which get bad
after every rain, that they have cause
to kick for not getting more for the
money. But al that will be the mat
ter will be that they are rying to run
mogul locomotives over light weight
steel and poor roads beds.
The solution of the problem of good
roads where there is heavy traffic is
the building of hard surfaced roads
that will stand up. The sooner Itas-
ca county commences to build them
the better off the county will be.

March 20, 1919.
Dear Editor
The following brief facts are fair
description of the activities of Sub
Chaser fleet which operated from Base
% Corfu Greese.
On arriving at Corfu we discovered
that fleet of French battleships and
Idestroyers, English destroyers also
made their base there. The French
also had seaplane base there.
On September 26 four Austrian
planes paid US a visit, but were sue
cessful beaten of by the French planes
and aircraft guns.
To the disappointment of all hands
we found that Sub Chaser Base Is was
to be established on a rocky hill over
looking a small bay. This Base was
the farthest away from all civilization
the city of Corfu being only twelve
miles away.
The boys went in swimming and
played, adam under the Olives
Trees" Swimming was our only en-
joyment at Corfu.
after being fully equipped with
Listening Tubes" and other sub
marine detecting devices used in Sub
marine warfare we left Corfu, Greesc
to take up our position on the Otranto
Barrage. Twelve Chasers left on
each Barrage and patrolled the mouth
OF the Adriatic from the Island of
Fano off the cost of Albania, to Atran-
to, Italy.
From then 70 the day the armistice
was signed the Chasers were doing
constant patrol working relief of five
days out and three in
Needless to say our experiences
were many, and varied because of the
fact that we patrolled the Adriatic,
and all enemy submarines operating in
the Mediterranean had to pass through
the Barrage to reach their bases.
Seventeen enemy submarines met
their doom while passing through our
Barrage. Several Austrians torpedo
boats and destroyers in their attempt
to break up the Barrage were sunk by
English and Italian destroyers.
On September 20, twelve of the
Chasers left Corfu for Brindisi, Italy.
On arriving at Brindisi, September
| 80. we were given orders to prepare
for attack on Durrazzo. October z,
at 8 q. m. the twelve Chasers left Brin-
dist, arriving off the coast of Austria
at II q. m. English and Italian
fleets following closely behind.
"Bow on, into the harbor' was the
order issued by the Chasers Command
er. Into the harbor they went
through the mine fields, losing no time
in catching up and taking their posi-
tons. By this time the shore bat
tries opened fire, which was return
ed by the battIeships and destroyers.
