Highway Patrolmen Will
Display Official Stars
Authority Markers to Identify and
Protect Road Caretakers, Says
State Bulletin

On state trunk highways called
Babcock roads seving Sank Centre
and vicinity and all other sections of
Minnesota, the patrolmen are using
new stars which are exciting much
curiosity. The state highway bulle-
tin this week explains the purpose of
these badges-the official highway de-
partment yellow stars of small size
mounted on iron rods.
The stars are mainly to identify
the patrolmen, says the bulletin.
When a highway care-taker is moving
gravel on his beat the star is posted
narby that the passer may know the
gravel is not being stolen. When the
patrolmen leaves his section to go to
the gravel pit, lumber yard or black
smith shop, he leaves his star behind
perhaps with a note attached to in
form the superintendent, foreman or
other interested party Of his where
abouts. In these and any other ways
the scheme already is establishing its
value.
A district maintenance superintend-
ent this week reported that he saw a
patrolman's star posted at lumber
yard entrance in a small town. His
investigation disclosed the trunk
route ran past the lumber yard and
the patrolman was there getting plank
to repair a nearby guardrail. Other
wise, he said, it might have been
concluded that the highway member
was taking a day off.
Patrolmen are pleased with the
plan because the great majority take
pride in giving the state good service
and realize that the stars are pri-
marily for their protection. Willing
to be judged by their work, they do
not want to be confused with the
teamster met now and then on the
highway who apparently doesn't
know where he is going nor care when
he reaches his destination.

ANYTHING BUT CHEERFUL.

The news Of the failure, this week.
of n firm of stockbrokers in Kansas
City. Mo. with liabilities variously es-
;imated at from $4,000, 900 To SIS .o00.-
900. is somewhat depressing in char
acter for these Joyous Christmas times
For there is no telling how far the
ramifcations Of such a failure may
extend. or how many persons may be
losers. possibly TO a serious extent.
The cause az this heavy failure is
no secret. II WAS the familiar agency
OF stock speculation. The firm, II is
said. was heavily involved in stock
operations. largely in oils. The market
was not congenial. and their losses he
came so heavy that liquidation wa,
necessary. The firm Is not without as
sets however. and early reports sal,
they might be able 10 settle at 80 cents
on the dollar. But early reports ii
such instances seldom are sustaine,
by the actual results.

stock gambling. There is hardly

NAY AVERT A FOOLISH WASTE.

In making appropriations for the
ensuing fiscal year. the Congress will
have an opportunity Of saving a large
sum OF money and doing away with
a practice that is largely a nuisance.
And that is by retaining from making
,hS customary generous allowance for
free distribution OF seeds by the mem
bers.
The latest appropriation for this
purpose was sS60.o0O, but this year
the House appropriations committee
1 left the free seeds item out entirely.
/ Whether the members will indorse
! this move for economy. however. is
something else. In the past they have
fought vigorously against all attempts
70 abolish the waste and put a stop
to the farce, for that is what it really
is.
Many members Of Congress look
upon the seed distribution as a means
Of securing the favor OF their con-
s;ituents by mailing them liberal sup
plies Of flower and vegetable seeds fur
nished by the government. Blu, it is
doubtful If this kind Of pap" bring.

they make a fghs and maintain th'
imposition and waste OF money. z

WHAT REAL RELIGION Is.

Sir Arthur Currie. principal OF Me
GIL University and formerly com
mander OF the Canadian army. gave
the following definition of real religion
at the opening Of the Nelson Memorial
Chapel. AT the Shawbridge Boys
Home:
II am no preacher. but I am always
willing to bear testimony To the Power
outside ourselves that makes for right
eousness; that no man or nation can
he truly great unless they acknOwl-
edge that Power. Oftentimes IL was
said I'm the war that Christianity had
failed. Nothing was further from the
truth. Christianity did not fail I'm the
war-the war proved the very triumph
OF Christianity.
81 don't want you To get the idea
that religion is something that you
practice on Sundays; 1t IL service; Il
Is sacrifice: II is unselfishness: II Il
humility: Il is Justice; IT Is courage
IL Ia fidelity to duty. and bearing on'
another's burdens. That is the religion
that was taught us nineteen centuries
ago In the war II was Invested of al
it's trappings which i'm the days he

That was the religion that the boy
