The Farmers State Bank of Olivia
and the Farmers State Bank of Buff
alo Lake have made arrangements for
their patrons to dispose OF quack grass
roots at very profitable figure and
at the same time rid their land of
this bothersome and costly pest. The
roots of this plant are used in the
manufacture Of a drug and may be
marketed at $500 per hundred pounds.
It is estimated that one man can make
from ten to fifteen dollars per day at
this work and where modern machin-
cry is used it is possible to digsas high
as thousand pounds a day. For
those who have much of this weed on
their land this can be made very
|proftable venture both from the stand
point Of cash return for the work
and the clesring Of the land. s.a ].

Good Club Program.

A very interesting meeting of the
Redwood Falls Township Farmers
Club was held last Friday evening,
May 18th at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Dahms. Edgar Winn, the presi-
dent of the Club presided and an en-
tertaining and instructive program
was given. A little playlet, A Burg
lar, was given by four of the young
women Of the Club, MINES II. Clipson,
Edgar Winn, Herbert Winn and
Joe Morley and Miss Wyman;
Joe Morley and Herbert Winn
gave an interesting and well arranged
demonstration of the Farmer and His
Bushel of Wheat, showing the process
of the wheat and the deductions from
it for the various middlemen from the
time the farmer takes it to the market
until he buys it back again as flour.
Then followed an unusual demonstra-
tion of tractors by John Belt who is
a member Of the community. Mr..
Belt had made two model tractors of
miniature size, one of the Avery type
and one of the Case, and gave COM
parison of the pulling power of the
two. The models were very cleverly
constructed, phonograph moaors being
used as the motive power in the two
little machines and the demonstration
brought out clearly the points of vari-
alton in the two makes. Several songs
were sung by the Dahms Brothers
quartet, Miss Dahms and her brother
gave q violin and piano selection and
Miss Vera Lightfoot gave reading.
A luncheon was served at the close of
the program. Mrs. Roscoe Campbell
and Mrs. D. M. Tiffany arranged the
program for this meeting and Mrs.

BabCoCk Plan
Is Launched
CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT
ROADS TO COST 500, 900, 900.
BIDS CALLED FOR.

Minnesota's 100000 good roads
project to permanently improve high
ways, connecting the principal towns
and the ten thousand lakes for which
the state is famous, has been launched.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, has organized a MAIN
tenance force of more than 1000 men
with a patrolman for each fve-mile
section and special gangs to keep the
gravel roads in best condition until
paving is laid over the entire 1000
mile system. Actual operations start
ed May l. Contracts for additional
hard-surfacing will be awarded soon,
according to the highway department,
which will spend approximately $10,-
O00,0OO on highways this season, and
increasing amounts each year there
after.
Good Road to Every Farm Gate.
The Babcock good roads plan was
adopted at the last election and put
into effect by the legislature, which
has just adjourned. Improvements
will be financed with the proceeds
of two per cent tax on the list
price of motor vehicles, in lieu of
other levies. A state ad valorem tax
levy Of one per cent and local levies
will be continued to provide funds for
improvement Of lateral or feeder
roads.
Minnesota already has long stretch
es of paving on arterial routes and
hundreds of miles of smooth gravel
roads. Completion of the Babcock
plan will mean good road to every
farm gate in the state and the high
way department predicts that the
most important lines will be hard-sur.
faced within five years.

RADIO STATIONS
toad SHIPSOFF
ALASKAN COAST

JUNEAU, Alaska, July Is Many
marine dangers, hidden in ocean
grayeyards" along Alaskas coasts,
are to be removed by eight naval
radio compass stations which will
be built during the next four years.
From the stations ships at sea can
get their bearings and in fog and
.torms can proceed safely along the
coasts.
One station being built this sum
mer is at Soapstone Point, Yakobi
sland, where ships from southwest.
ern Alaska enter the inside passage
sovhbound for Seattle In the past
ships have lost many days waiting
for thick weather to clear so they
could get past Soapstone Point and
into Cross Sound. When the station
is in operation they will be able
to pick up the entrance to Cross
Sound by wireless
Another station now under con
struction is at Cape Hinchinbrook,
at the entrance to Prince William
sound, on which Valdez and other
southwestern Alaska points are To-
Gated.
According to present plans, the
Soapstone station will be opened
next October, after a crew of train
ed men is assembled and tests are
made with ships at sea. The Cape
Hlnchlnbrook station will be COM
pleted later
Care is being taken in construc-
tion Of living quarters for the men
at the stations, for the points are
isolated and the government is try
ing to offset some OF the disadvan-
tages by attractive housing There
will be dormitory, baths, electric
lights and other facilities Both
stations are located in parts Of
| Alaska noted for hunting and fish
ling Two stations are to be bull,
each year until the eight are com.
