H. A. Humphrey has returned from
his sojourn at Walla Walla and other
western points and is not very favora-
bly, impressed with the climatic condi-
lions in that part of the United States.
The mercury in the thermometric
tube, he says, descended to the Is be-
low zero notch at Walla Walla and at
Portland to the 10 mark. Besides, he
added, the atmosphere is clammy and
the fog so dense at times that it is
impossible for a person to see more
than few inches beyond the tip Of his
nose. We scarcely expect to see Mr..
Humphrey go west another winter, es-
pecially as he went there to avoid
rheumatism. which attacked him with
more ferocity than ever before.

Babcock Program Urged.

Highway engineers Of the state, who
assembled in convention at St. Paul
on Monday, were unanimous in their
declaration that Minnesota's economic
salvation demands the carrying out of
an extensive road building program
such as is provided for in the Babcock
amendment, which will be submitted
to the voters at the November election
They contended that it is absolutely
necessary for comprehensive pro.
gram of this nature to be carried out
so that Minnesota may be dragged
from the miro, and urged every citizen
to make it his personal duty to OBJ
tain the passage of the Babcock
amendment

How r. C. Dunn Helped Minnesota.

Mile Laos county has received over
five times as much road money from
the state as it has paid in taxes to the
had been paid only $31 ,269.04 would
have been distributed to the state road
fund from this county, while $160,792-
IA has been received from the state
in state road aid. The latter amount
includes $16,567.74 in engineering and
SHAPES in cash. This shows that this
county fares we'll in the distribution
Of state road aid.-Milaca Tribune.
Every small county in the state is
receiving more f1om the state road
fund than it pays. st. Louis, Ramsey
and Hennepin counties pay much more
than they receive. Stearns county,
which is about fourth or fifth in point
of wealth, receives about what it pays
to the state treasury. The man who is
responsible for this great aid to more
than seventy counties of the state was
the late Editor R. c.. Dunn of Prince
ton, and the Dunn law will be of still
greater benefit to all these counties if
Amendment No. 1, (Babcock) is APP
proved by the voters, because the state
will then take over the roads in each
county having the heaviest travel and
on which are now expended by the
counties about 80 per cent of the road
funds. Putting Amendment No. /
over will give each county all it's road
fund to be used on roads that now
get very little, if any, Of this fund.- It
will give the state good roads in prac-
tically every township in Minnesota.
Senator Dunn was the man VINO had a
great vision for the benefit of Mime
sofa, and who had the ability and in
f1uence to get it on the Statute books.
The Babcock plan is supplementary to
the Dunn good road law, and makes
the latter Of greater benefit to the sec
tons of the state that most need it
and which cannot get help by any
other plan proposed. Bob Dunn GER

in a big way, and were he alive today
he would be most enthusiastic sup

" NCH ENTERTA INS
He Invites Farmers and Others to
FOreston and Gives Multitude
Pleasant Time.
Excellent Program Formulated for
the Occasion With Everything
Free to All Corners.

Foreston was in its glory on Febru-
airy IL, when J. A. Lynch, the machin-
cry dealer, gave a free entertainment
throughout the livelong day to hun
dreds of people who gathered from all
points OF the compass.
Mr.. Lynch had prepared an elaborate
program for his guests and it was car
ried out to the letter. The day was en-
livened by first-class music, two shows
were put on at the movie theater and
there was a dance in the community
hall in the evening. Dinner was
served to over 600 people and those
who remained for the dance were fur
nished supper. An address by Hon
w. I. Nolan on "Americanism" was
one Of the features Of the day. At the
Lynch store demonstrations of automo-
biles, gas engines, washing machines
farm machinery and monographs were
made, but there was nothing for sale
Oh that particular occasion.
A prize of SIS was offered to the
party coming the longest distance
overland. This was won by Ward De-
long who came Is miles. The Bean
guessing contest was won by Mrs.
Floyd Clarke Of Foreston, who
guessed 1875, the correct number be-
ing12N. The children's prize, sled
was awarded to Ronald Sanford, and
the tire was won by Chas. Grous-
ira of Foreston.
All who were in Foreston upon that
festal day were Mr.. Lynch's guests and
the multitude thoroughly enjoyed his
hospitality.

Perhaps.

If the president were not seemingly
deaf and blind to the trend of public
sentiment in this country, if in the
isolation of his sick room he were not
completely shut off from what is being
said by his fellow citizens about his
stubborn attitude toward the peace
treaty and the league of nations, he
would realize that his cause is lost, and
that the only thing for him to do is
to agree with his adversaries quickly.

Procedure is Simple Enough.

Brown was going to have some al
teratlons made on his home and asked
Jones-who had just got rid of the
builders-the best way to go about it.
"Oh, said Jones, "you call in a de-
cent builder and tell him the limit
you are prepared to pay out, being
sure that the sum you mention to him
is about quarter Of what you have
for the alterations; and then, if you
are lucky and keep your wife away
while the work is proceeding you may
get half OF what you want done for
about twice the total sum you want
to spend"

A Comparison.

President Wilson writes: Germany
is beaten but we are still at war with
her." Mr.. Wilson's attitude toward
the war is like that of the calf toward
the milk the farmer was trying to
feed it for the first time. The farmer
said: "First I had to nearly pull the
blame things ears off to get it up to
the pail, and then had to nearly pull
it's tail off to get it away from it,
