tative for the Canadian Pacific Rail

Good Ee ads.


Some of the benefits that good
roads will bring to our community
are that they will be able to have
better mail service and easier trans
portation.
Good roads establish close COM
munication between town and coun
try people. They increase the num-
ber of summer tourists who come
from other states and the tourists
will enjoy it much more if they have
better roads to travel upon.
The people who own trucks and
! automobiles will be satisfied because
they save on car upkeep, tires, gaso-
line and many other things which
cover more than the increase IN
numbers of automobile licenses.
Good roads will bring down the
high cost of living in many ways.
The people who attend picture
shows, etc., will enjoy it so much
more if they have good roads to
travel upon.
| Good roads prevent many acci-
dents. In case someone becomes i'll
the doctor will be able to come more
quickly if there are good roads.
Good roads makes it easier for the
children to- come to school more reg
ularly and also the children and older
folks can come to church more easily.
If we have good roads the farmers
can have an easier way to bring his
products to market where he can re-
ceive a higher price for it.
Some of the reasons why we should
vote "yes" for good roads are be-
cause it will add hundreds of millions
of dollars to- the wealth. of our state
by reducing marketing costs and de-
veloping the agricultural resources
of the state and it will carry the
benefits of good roads to all parts
of the. state simultaneously without
waiting for the slow and wearisorne
process of road building and it does
many other helpful things. ~>,<:,.s. {. s=.: ).

COOK COUNTY's QUOTA
$7S5.00 to Raise in Christmas Seals
Sales Is What We Are
Allotted.

Adequate provision for 24,00O ac-
tive cases of tuberculosis and for
4,500 exposed children in Minnesota
must be provided if the deadly white
plague is to be controlled in this
state, Chairman C. J. Johnson, of the
Cook County Christmas Seal Sale
Committe, declared today on receipt
of reports from the Minnesota Pub
tic Health Association.
The quota allotted to this commun-
ity to raise before Christmas Day to
finance continued vigorous fight
against this scourge and other dis
eases in $185.00, which is on the ba
sis of 10 cents per capita. Confident
that the public appreciates the vital
necessity Of providing more ade-
quate facilities to fight tuberculosis,
Chairman Johnson predicted that
this quota will be greatly exceeded.
Research by the nations health
experts shows that at least 1 per
cent of the normal population of ev-
cry community in the United States
has tuberculosis. Besides the 1,0O0,-
900 active cases in the United States
at least 100000 children are con-
stantly exposed to tuberculosis,
health experts state.
Three definite policies advocated
to- control the disease are: First, the
prevention of Infection, especially
from adults to children; second, the
building of bodily resistance; and
third, the cure and restoration of
the durable to working efficiency.
