Trunk System
LEGISLATURE ASKED TO CONSI
DER BUILDING 5000 MILES
OF REAL ROAD.
VOTERS TO DECIDE
WOULD MEAN 81 MILES OF
STATE-KEPT ROAD IN
REDWOOD COUNTY.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Babcock, Commits
sioner of Highway, will submit to the
Legislature at it's coming session, re-
commentator for building a Trunk
Highway System of approximately
5000 miles in extent, to be created by
constitutional amendment, which, If
approved by the people at the election
in 1920, will be improved and forever
maintained as public highways by the
State of Minnesota.
A. r. Palmer highway engineer of
Redwood County says: In Redwood
County this system would include
eighty seven miles of State Road COM
prised of the Morton Marshall road,
the Redwood Falls-Sanborn road and
the Springfield Tracy road, which
would be built and maintained by the
State relieving the County of the
maintenance of over half it's most ex-
pensive roads the funds from which
could be advantageously applied else
where"
Commission Babcock's recommend
;ations, all of which must be enacted
in the form of amendments of the
constitution, include the following es-
sential points.
/. Creation of Trunk Highway
System which penetrates into every
part Of the state and which, as has
been stated, comprises about 5000
miles of the most important highways
of the state.
2. Establishment of fund, the pro-
ceeds of which are to be used exclu-
sively for the improvement and main
tenance of the roads in the proposed
system, said fund to be derived from
the proceeds of motor vehicle licenses,
as explained later, from Federal Aid
funds, from unappropriated money IN
the State Treasury, and, it there is
a deficit in the fund IN any year, then
by a tax on all assessable property
of The state Of sufficient amount
to bring the fund to a sum which will
meet all payments to be made from
it.
8. Authorizing the Legislature to
provide for a tax, or license fee, on
motor vehicles, the tax to be levied
on a different basis than that levied
on other personal property but provid-
ing that any tax so levied shall be in
lieu of all other taxes on such motor
vehicles for State and County pur-
poses.
A. Authorizing the Legislature to is
sue and sell bonds of the State of Min
neso.a from time to time as money is
needed to carry on the work of i'm
proving and maintaining the roads of
the Trunk Highway System. The
bonds will run for twenty years, will
bear interest at rate not greater
than five per cent and will be retired
one-twentieth each year.
5. Authorizing the State to engage
in works of internal improvement SO
far. and only so far, as the work OF
improving and maintaining the roads
in the Trunk Highway System is con-
cerned. This is now forbidden by Sec
ton s Of Article TX of the constitu-
ton.
6. Authorizing the Legislature to
provide by law for the necessary
machinery to carry out the intents
and purposes of the amendment and
to enact such statutes as it shall see
fit regulating the contraction, main
tenance and use, Of the roads in the
system.
These. in brief, are the recommend
atoms to be made by Commissioners OF
Highways. 1t will be noted that the

The retirement of Harry Sallee has
left McGraw with three southpaws on
his roster-Rube Benton, Ferdinand
Schupp and Bob Steele. Benton Is
quite likely to give a good account OF
himself, in spite of the fact that he
lost part of last season, being called
to the colors in midsummer. Schupp
Is a very uncertain proposition. for not
one except the Louisville Kid himself

Steele made a good beginning as a

Is not likely that McGraw is counting
very heavily on him.
The pitching strength OF the team
will lie in its right handlers, for Jess

GARFIELD LEAGUE
GAMES ARE PLAYED

Garfield basketball men stepped into
the limelight Tuesday evening at the
Garfield gym. when the first games OF
the newly organized basketball league
were played.
After not playing for so long the
first games resulted in some one-sided
affairs with good one thrown In. The
Trenches made their bow to the Lilies
going down under the crushing weight
of q % to 2 score. The former, how
ever, only played four men against
hve of the Lily team. No field goals
were made by the Frehchies. Quigley
did the only scoring with two free
throws. Green. Nattock and Fuller
scored for the Lilies.
The Daisies defeated the Pirates by
score OF s to Both teams fought
hard but neitherS could connect with
the basket. ColviA made the one point
for the Pirates while the Daisies
score was equally divided between
Kcssler and Unthank.
The Vampires, true to their name,
vamped the Earlham lineup to the
tune Of 10 to IL score. Cathcart and
Bentlage made four fields each for the
Quakers while the entire Vamp lineup
made from one to three goals each.
Fancher led with three to his credit.
The closest game Of the evening
was the Marine-Ace game. The Aces
handed the Marines a 8 to defeat.
At the end OF the first half the Marines
led, to 2. Two fields by Cummins
and one by Jessup in the last half
gave the Aces the edge.

SPRINGFIELD IS ON
FENCE CONCERNING
CENTRAL LEAGUE

Springfield is on the fence regard
ing entrance in the Central League
this season.
The directors of the former Central
league team failed to meet Monday
to give Fred Hunter and his partner
an answer about the rental of the
park.
A report became current that the
directors were being urged to send a
representative to the Fort Wayne
meeting next Sunday to see what kind
of circuit, including Springfield, was
to be proposed and it was whispered
that several of the directors, who were
set lat the start against having any
thing to do with a league, including
Indiana, Illinois or Michigan towns,
are now willing to take chance. II q
reasonably compact circuit can be or
gained.
There was talk in Springfield that q
league comprised of Springfield, Day
| ton, Lima, Fort Wayne, Richmond,
South Bend, Marion and Muncie would
be proposed This would avoid the
long jumps to Grand Rapids and Mus

PACKER EXPLAINS
MEAT SHIPMENT

A new idea OF the great part played
by America in feeding the allied
forces In Europe is given in the 1915
Year Book Of Swift e Company, which
has just been issued.
In 1918 IL ,se products shipped
abroad totaled 59O,359,769 pounds -
more than three times the amount
shipped in 1914, the first year OF the
war. The pork product shipments
totaled 1851, 1858 pounds as against
921, 91S,0 2s in 1914-an increase OF SO
per cent
During the year ending November l.
1918, Swift & Company alone shipped
products to the American army and
navy at home and abroad and to the
allied nations for their armies and
civilian populations. The Year Book
says: "This amounts to about $4,000
carloads OF meat. which would make q
single train 200 miles long"
Some OF the difficulties encountered
In shipping are shown in the follow
ing:
"The meat for Europe has gone in
fleets OF vessels under convoy, and the
Food Administration has often been
unable to know very far in advance
when cargo space would be available
For this reason Swift & Company has
frequently been notified that GER
tain number OF millions of pounds
would be wanted at certain port
within few days. Swift & Company
has often had shipments on the way
to the seaboard within few hours
after the orders have been received,
and believes that 1t has met with sig
nal success in the filling Of such rush
orders.
1.-THE packing industry was able to
adapt itself to wartime demands per-
haps more quickly than any other in
dustry. If this industry had not been
organized on a large scale along ma.
tional. and even international lines. it
would never have been able to answer
all demands as promptly as it has.
War demands have. OF course, caused
many changes In methods and have
made it necessary for us to increase
our facilities in many respects.
For example, when the United
States entered the war, there develop
ed demand for canned bacon for
shipment to our soldiers overseas.
Swift & Company Immediately took
over a semi-completed soap factory
and within thirty days had installed
the necessary machinery and was fill.
ing government contracts. More than
a million pounds Of bacon a week have
often been canned in this factory. This
means that our soldiers have been
getting fine. cured, smoked bacon
where the allies have been demanding
only salt, unsmoked bacon, which does
not have to be canned
Another example showing the CO
operation that we have offered the
government was when the government
found it necessary to have large guam
titles of butter, which it had bought
for overseas shipment, put into cans

big butter handlers Of the country
