SMOOTH ROADS
SLASH EXPENSES
Costs Of Operating Cars VIII Be Re-
duced Under the Babcoek
Plan of Roads.

Nearly $4,000 would have been
paid into the Minnesota State treasury
this year for road building purposes If
the BabcOck plan had been in opera-
ton, figuring at the average rate of
$1S for each car, says the Sank Rapids
Sentinel
This would be the interest on $780,
100000 at per cent.
According to highway and automotive
engineers, the average passenger auto
mobile costs about 10 cents mile to
operate. This includes operation costs,
such as gasoline, oil and tires, and also
the depreciation the car undergoes.
On December 1, 1919, there were
26O,SSO automobile licenses issued in
the state and of this number only 1852
were out of the state requests.
II the automobile operates on hard
surfaced highway the expense Of 10
cents mile is cut to s cents a mile,
thus efecting savings of 2 cents for
every mile that is Travelled.
IT every car in the state travels only
1000 miles during the season this will
make grand total Of 260, $4,000 miles,
and at an average expense of 10 cents
a mile total Of $26OS, 800, will have
been spent.
When the Babcock amendment goes
through and there are 1000 miles OF
hard surfaced rOadways in the state
and when this 1000 miles of travel is
made over this trunk highway system
saving of 1921, 600 will be made. It
will mean saving of more than the
license fees for the total automobile
registration in the state.
These figures are easily proved, but
they only refer to the savings in money
that will result from an adoption of
the Amendment No. I, to the constitu-
ton, which goes before the people this
fall
The other benefits that will accrue to
the state and to the people who live
here, are incalculable.
This plan provides for the construc-
ton of a trunk highway system of 1900
miles of hard surfaced roadway, paid
for out of the automobile license fees
collected from the owner
1t already has been shown that the
owner will receive in return more
money than he spent for his license. to
say nothing of the increased comfort
in riding
But the biggest feature is that the
roads which are feeders to the trunk
highway system will be brought to a
state Of efficiency.
| The money that is now being spent
| in the construction and maintenance of
trunk roads will at that time be spent
i on the feeders and eventually every
road in the state will be graded and
gravelled and passible for traffic at all
seasons of the year. s..
Other states have made an intensive
study Of the BabcOck plan and are
boosting its adoption within their own
borders. It is the logical method of
paying for roads, as it places the yex-
pense directly on the people who use
them the most and relieves the people
| who live along the right-ef-way from
land tax or other form of payment for
the road.

Farmers Urged To
Test All Seed Grain

Attention has been called to the fact
the termination strength Of much Of
the seed wheat has been found very
low and farmers are cautioned to test
their grain before seeding to avoid DOS
sible loss.
County Agent John HUSKY is making
test OF samples of grain raised here
and while he cannot at this time an
nounce the results as the test is not yet
completed, the results do not look very
promising. A sample of corn tested will
go between II and 25 per cent germin-
alton. It is not profitable to plant seed
of this kind and farmers are urged to
test all their seed to assure themselves
that the grain they plant will grow.

Inter-Church Speakers
Conduct Interesting
Meeting Here

The Marshall County Interchurch
meeting which was held in the First
Methodist church last Thursday was
fruitful day for those who were able
to attend. There were four outside
speakers who had charge of the SER
vices. The members of the team were
DR.. Henderson, of st. Paul, Mrs. Ar
mold, of Minneapolis, Rev. Kueyper, of
Crookston, and Rev. E. E. Shawl, of
Crookston. These leaders pointed out
the underlying principles Of the Inter-
church movement
In the morning Rev. Kueyper spoke
of the underlying principles of the
movement Oh which all the cooperating
denominations would unite to en-
phazise, namely: Intercession, Life SER
vice, Education and Stewardship. Mrs.
Arnold pointed out why the denomina-
lions should cooperate, how that each
was losing because it goes its own little
way instead Of all working with the
other denominations in mind This was
emphasized as a great need both in the
work In this country and in the mis-
sionary work of the churches. DR.. Hen
derson spoke Of the new conditions in
which we live which have made inn
perative movement of this sort He
spoke too OF the new emphasis that
all of the churches are making which
has tended to bring them together The
emphasis by all the churches of the
fact that religion is more than a creed
or going to church on Sunday but a
matter of life that should be applied to
business, politics and all else and has
done much toward bringing the denom-
nations together.
1t was explained that much would be
saved and a better feeling created if
all the churches would make their mis-
sionary drives at the same time, each
church making it's own budget and see
ing their own members and spending
the money as they liked but working
together at the same task at the same
time. The time set for the Interchurch
missionary drive is the last week of
April. The local leaders say, however,
that there will be no drive in Warren
at this timetas only the two Methodist
churches are cooperating in the Inter-
church Movement and these churches
raised their budgets. last year. for the
next five years. The amount raised at
that time Tor the Methodist church was
$16O, OO0, 600 which is equal to the bud
gets planned at present by the cooper
ating denominations
There are thirty-one denominations
in the Interchurch Movement. These
churches represent seventy-five per cent
OF all the Protestants in America.

days. The fields have dried off rapidly
and the soil is fine and mellow and in

Some farmers have already commenced
spring work and by the first of next

The moisture from the heavy snow fall
OF the past winter should insure a good
start OF all grains as soon as they are
