A Tender Tribute BY the llsyor Of
.#.5 ST. Paul. /, 4. ;

* IN the Hastings Democrat Of the
3rd inst. Mayor Hodgson, Of St. Paul.
pays the following beautiful tribute
to the memory Of Miss Josephine
Schaller, whose death was noted IA
these columns last week: 4. Z. &: s5 sz.S
" The death Of. Josephine Schaller
was not only a bereavement to those
who knew and loved her, it t. was a
bereavement for every sweet, whole
some, kindly, noble thing in this
world. I knew her from her baby
hood, watched her grow up through
a glad and wonderful childhood into
a radiant womanhood, and / held for
her a reverent affection which will
forever be a beautiful memory in my
life Words will not say the things
that we feel about such woman.
She was constant benediction to
those who met her. She carried with
her an atmosphere of exalted JOY,
splendid human comradeship, clean,
inspiring playfulness, and deep, earn
est. reverent living. She never said
an unkind word, never had a selfish
thought, never withheld from any
one the full measure of her rich
bounty in all the ways Of cheerful
ness and kindly helpfulness. Her life,
SO tragic in it's brevity,-left a
fragrance i'm the hearts of her
friends: Such women make it easier
to@believe in God and in humanity.
To have known her is to believe in
all things good and beautiful and
true. Without exaggeration it may
be said of her. ~ ss:.z, y
When she had passed it seemed
like the ceasing Of exquisite music "

BY resolution adopted at its meet
ing, last week the County Board en-
2donsed a comprehensive State Roads
plan which has been submitted to.
the Legislature for adoption. Since
this, ,kact ction by the Board there has.
been received here. a map showing
the entire system Of roads proposed
to be placed under the exclusive SUI
peryision Of the State and Govern.
meht. Doubtless had this map been,
before the County Board -at its hate
meeting this endorsement would
have been qualified by recommends
tion Of a slight extension of the pro-
posed system in Cook county. Ac-
cording to this map there is a miss
ing link. here that should be sup
piled. The proposed plan shows the
road system in the northern part Of
the State entirely disconnected from
the Duluth Port Arthur highway,
excepting by way Of Duluth. The
matter was taken up by. the Com
mercial club at it's last meeting and
a committee was appointed to give
attention to the matter to the end
chat this defect may be remedied in
the road plan to be finally adopted
by the legislature. The proposed
system in the northern part of the
State lacks a convenient connecting
link along or near the boundary line
with the Lake Shore. Otherwise it
lis complete, including highway
along the northern boundary west
ward from International Falls.
There are vital reasons why this
missing link should be supplied, and
it is hoped that the legislature may
incorporate such change in the plan
submitted for it's approval It is an
Improvement in which local interests
are far less to be considered than
those of the general travelling public.
An impartial study of the situation:
will be convincing. *

Anticipating the early close

Anticipating the early close Of
navigation, fishermen along the shore
are fast pulling in their nets. Sew
eral of the fish boats have already
gone into winter quarters and the
few remaining ones will soon do like
wise. The rough weather of the past
few weeks has seriously handicapped
the fishermen in their work, which is
strenuous enough without bad wea-
ther to contend with.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Eliasen, of Chi
cago Bay, visited in Grand Marais a
few days the first of the week, leav-
ing on the Liberty Monday for Du-
luth. They are going to the Pacific
coast, Mr.. Eliasen intending to en-
gage in the fishing industry there.
On their way to the coast they will
stop over at Wenatchee, Wash, for
a short visit with relatives of Mrs.
Eliasen. Their intention is to make
their home in the west. Mr.. and Mrs.
Eliasen were popular members of
the younger set in this community,
by whom their departure will be
very much regretted. For itself and
their many friends in the county,
the Herald wishes them happiness
and prosperity. .

ANNUAL MEETING OF
z*s THE COUNTY BOARD.

: The County Board held its closing
session Of the year last Monday and
on Tuesday met and organized for
the ensuing year. Hans Engelsen
was elected chairman and Ole Allen
vice chairman. In the annual APP
pointments no changes were made,
the only change in the whole court
house regime being the installation
of Charlie Seglem to succeed Louis
Engelson. A lot Of routine business
was transacted, but nothing Of spec
ial interest transpired. Jurors were
selected for the next term of court,
courthouse appointments made, and
other business Incidental to the an
nual reorganization transacted. DR..
Hicks was reappointed county ply
>sician at a salary Of $400. 90, and
Sam Zimmerman, Sr., was retained
as janitor at salary of $500 per
month.
Nothing of controversial nature
developed excepting upon the ques-
'tion of treasurer's bond. The bond
of Lion Surety Company, G. F. Lund
quist, agent, was accepted.
Estimated expenditures on road
work for 1919, totaling $4,000, were
made and adopted. This contem-
plates only small amount of new
work, about $4,000. .0O, the remainder
being for gravel and maintenance.
The report by the engineer, covering
road building operations for 1918,
was read and accepted. According to
this report a total of $49,882.25 was
expended on new work last year,
s16,287 IA of which was for main
tenance. The report appears in full
in the official proceedings, on an
other page Of this paper. The fig
ures given in this report point clear
ly to one important fact: that roads
can be built at the lowest possible
cost only by conducting road-build-
ing operations on the largest possi-
BILE scale.

Rumor has it that the young Ger

does, that we on this side have anv

his cheery and permanent smile makes him liked by persons in civil, as well as military life. This morning he was radiant as he sat once more in his old home Cn Church street. He remarked that he was born in the same house 46 years ago and is hap py to be in it again.
 His military career started when at the age of 15 years he left Plain vile and attended a military school near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. After fin ishing his course there he attended various colleges for period of six years. In 1895 and 1896 he lived in New Britain and was a member of Go. E of the old National Guard. He was made a first lieutenant in the out fit. In 1897 he again returned to this town staying here for about a year. He laughed this morning when asked if New Britain could claim him, and replied: Well if it does any of them any good l guess I really belong to Plainville, having been born here and keeping my home here" In 1898 the Spanish-Am erican war called out the militiamen of the country and the colonel was with Go. E. When the outfit was mustered out of the federal service at the end of the war, he was retained as a second lieutenant in the regular army. His first regular army assignment was to the Philippines where he serv- ed until 1902. He liked the rough and tumble life and the guerilla warfare which he met with on the islands.
 At one time he was with a party of his men. 20 ir number, looking
 
 upon General Hervas1o Peielia ai,. captured him and his outfit For that he received a citation in orders and was highly recommended by his

 Postmasters A. B. Goodrich of Ber- lin and w. w. Pagan of Kensington received notification from the postof- fee department this morning that there would be no sale of the surplus army foodstuffs from the postoffice as advertised, but that the sale would be Conducted through the governors of the states. The order to the post masters read as follows:
 Postoffice Department,
 Washington.
 August IS, 1919. Postmaster:
 Notice has just been received from the war department that all surplus army foodstuffs in the New York zone, comprising the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, have been or will be turned over to the governors of those states for distribu- ton through municipalities. You will therefore discontinue all efforts to dispose of the foodstuffs by parcel post, refund any money you may have received from consumers with orders, and notify newspapers that may have been given information regarding the proposed sale and distribution by par eel post of the change in plans.
 JAMES I. BLAKESLEE,
 Fourth Assistant.
 This information will come as dis appointment to the local residents as a large number here had filed orders for supplies, intending to hand them in today. Berlin and Kensington will now have to buy the foodstuffs in New Britain if they want to get in on the distribution. The opportunity to ob- tain a share of the food supply is les sened by transferring the distribution to New Britain as the city gets an aI- 1otment which is only sufficient for those residing in that place. Chances were better to get a share in the d1o~ tribution through the postoffice as each small community was given an al- lotment.
 It was learned the principal reason for the change was that New York and New Jersey were exceeding their municipal allotments so that much smaller surplus remains, so much so that it was thought inadvisa ble to dis tribute to every little community Put ting the remainder of the supply in the hands of the governor will dispose of the remaining surplus quicker than by parcel post.
 Motorcycles Injured.
