SUNDAY School Picnic.

The Methodist Sunday school en-
joyed their annual outing at Spec
tacle lake Wednesday. More than 60
members of the school motored out
for the day, which began rather in
auspiciously with a smart shower, but
the clouds soon showed their silver
lining and the weather developed into
perfect picnic day. The most i'm
portant number on the program was
the disposal of the lunch, after which
the merrymakers spent the afternoon
as their fancies led them. Bathing,
boating and merely lounging in the
shade were popular pastimes. All en-
joyed the day.

LET'S CONTRACTS
ON 80 HIGHWAYS
List Includes Crawling, Grading,
Paving and Bridge Con-
structiOn.
BIDS BELOW ESTIMATES
Highway Department Planning to
Issue a Larger and More
Complete Map.

Tentative awards Of contracts on
80 state trunk highway improvement
projects in many parts Of Minnesota
at figures averaging as low as those
of past lettings were announced this
week by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner.
The list as already made public in
cludes nearly $50 miles of gravel-sur-
facing, 100 miles of grading, 2 miles
of paving, several bridges and other
work. The bids are more than $3.50
900 below engineers advance esti-
mates, says the highway department
bulletin. Final awards will be made
on rechecks to make sure the bids ac-
cepted are the best in each case.
Work not interfering with harvest
ing on the farms will be pushed, ac-
cording to John H. Mullen, assistant
commissioner and chief highway en-
gineer. Grading operations are to be
we'll advanced this fall and the gravel
surfacing, guard rail and other i'm
provements completed before heavy
highway travel opens next season,
This will put the betterments to public
use as early as possible, it was said
and keep Minnesota in first place
among the states for completed mile
ape Of federal aid roads.
Newspaper announcements Of the
program, Commissioner Babcock as.
serted, were factor in securing bids
from local contractors throughout the
state and protecting against higher
prices.
The following were the low bids on
the new work: Grading at 18 to rs
cents yard, graveling at 16 to &c
cents, small paving yardage at $2.07
and guard rails at an average of AZ
cents a foot. These are the first con.
tracts the state has made for building
guard rails and the price is somewhat
lower than the 5O-cent average paid by
the counties.
Many smaller towns and cities were
omitted from the state highway MAP
recently distributed which included
only those on the 7,000-mile trunk
highway system. AS the highway de.
partment states, this resulted in the
omission Of many towns and cities
which figuratively and literally speak.
ing should always be on the map.
The highway department is plan.
ming to issue another map in a few
months on which all towns will appear
and many important roads not includ.
ed in the trunk system. 1t is planned
to also mark the location of all free
camping grounds.

were the lunch baskets. After these

prize of So, while Schilling and New

Both Drivers on Wrong Side of Road !;
Each Exceeded Speed Limit;

Cars Are Damaged.
Where the Cambridge road meets

to save motorists from their own folly.
rather than to Inconvenience the trav-
cling public. Both drivers were on
the wrong side of the road and both
were exceeding the village speed limit
by at least Is miles. The result was,
of course, a collision, which each
driver sought to avoid by application
of breaks and quick turning. The
cars slid considerable distance be-
fore the crash, and neither upset.
Sprung axles, shattered wind shields,
badly ruffled up tenders and good
