UNCLE SAM AND COOP ROADS

During the six years that congress has been ap-
propriating money for good roads, a total federal
expenditure of $50 million dollars has been author
lied and the various states had matched TINS sum
to the extent Of s265, 529, 900, 80 ", a. Il.
>, The roads that the nations viii gain from this
money total Il, 0D0 miles, which, Golfers points
out, is strip long enough to encrcle the globe
with broad highway and haveesone thousands" Of
miles left over. =. $500 ==.
- All thissis of special Interest to Mnnesota, bsx
cause this state admittedly IS in the front rank,
both as to the amount Of money to be spent foE
improved highways and because the work is in the
hands Of men who are expected to get full value in
modern roads for every dollar that is spent.
Minnesota has complied with the federal re-
auirements first: the establishment Of a complete
state highway commission, and second, assurance
that all roads built will be properly and permanent
" maintained States failing to keep their roads in
shane will see the government step in and put them
in shape and at the same time federal appropria-
ton will be shut off. ="
Commercial advantage of we'll made, we'll kept
roads, has been established by actual tests. The
average load in one instance the old type road
for q twolhorse team was ,750 pounds and on the
new roads, 1850 pounds. The old hauling cost was
figured at 81 cents per ton mile; while the cost on
the new roads was only 20 cents.
The saving of II cents per ton mile amounts an
nually in that county to $43, 400. That saving,
il applied to principal and interest on the bond issue
from which the roads were built, would in II years
pay the entire original new road cost. ~ >'E"
The things which may be said in favor Of good
roads are legion: they mean more value to the
farm land SO far Northern Minnesota is con
cerned, quicker development; better and bigger
schools, Churches comforts of the city life brought
to the farmers door; added pleasure in outings;
quicker freight transportation, and even better
service for passenger business. - D.:
Good roads is good sense. +.
Congress has done nothing of more direct and
material benefit to the people than it's appropria-
lions. hedged about with reasonable precautions,
for the continuous construction in all parts OF the
United States of good roads.

BISHOP PHILIP COOK
DISCUSSES SERVICE
Made Forcible Address at the
MONDAY Meeting in ST. An
dreW's Church Today.

There are only two masters for
man to serve" Bishop Philip Cook
today told an audience that packed
81. Andrews Church to the doors.
The virtues of life are not separate
things. but are different manifesto
tons OF Gods great principle of love.
So are evils manifestations Of the
terrible principle Of darkness.
BlshoL Cook took his subject from
Christ's utterance in the Sermon on
the Mount. mo Man Can Serve Two
Mesters." He touched first on the sur
face Interpretation that success lies in
consistency. Then he explained how in
spite OF efforts TO serve many masters,
each person has in his life a predom-
mating influence. The man" Christ
referred 20. he defined as n person
of conviction and strength, not n
weakling who finds n new master in
every book he reads or every temp
tation he meets "Nine-tenths Of the
infidelity of today" he declared ARE
not the result OF honest doubt. but are
founded On the fact that peopl. have
not tho manliness and courI-, To
serve God"
He reminded his audience that the
unwritten creed which we live counts
more than the one we recite. There
is no Joy like finding the purpose oi
our existence" he said. Christ sum
med II up for us in His serving o
/ God" Bishop Cook closed by urginf
! his hearers 20 discover which master
I they followed and then TO live life
OF consistent service.
! Bishop Cook will be the speakel
again tomorrow.
