he had also forged several checks on
check blanks stolen from the Cargill
Elevator company. One of these
checks was cashed at the Candy Kit

the, check went through without
question. When captured Maddox

ROADS ARE YOURS;
WHY ABUSE THEM
Highway Commissioner Inquiries Ask
ing Public to Prevent Damage
To Soft Roads Now.

(By MINI. Highway Dept. Press Service)
Closing one important state trunk
highway to heavy-vehicle traffic,
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week announced
that like orders will be issued on
trunk routes wherever necessary to
prevent damage during softening
spring thaws.
Moving too heavy loads on the
soft surfaces of the roads now means
wanton destruction and will not be
permitted on the state routes" as
serted Mr.. Babcock. 1.-THE highways
are the property of the general pub
lie and all citizens, especially owners
of heavy trucks should bear in mind
that to abuse them results only in
loss to themselves and their neigh
bors. Reduction in road repairs al
ways make possible extension of new
road improvements" -. .
The highway commissioner sug-
gested that lighter vehicles be used
until the frost is out Of the roads
and maintenance forces put them in
to condition for the heavy-traffic sea-
son. Such cooperation for road pre-
servation, he added, will save many
thousand dollars of highway funds.
North Shore road-the Duluth
Grand Marais section of Minnesota

the first order barring heavy vehicles
Commercial truck and bus lines op-
Grating on the route approved the ac-
tion of the highway commissioner
and plan to use lighter rigs and small
touring cars instead Of the big buses

try Department of West Cen
tral School October /.

Allen w. Edison, county agent of
Stevens county, last Friday submit
ted his resignation as county agent
to take effect October 1 of this year,

ted by the committee. Mr.. Edison will

Mr.. Edison assumed his duties as
county agent on March 1st 1921,
coming from Austin, Mimi, where he
managed the F. I. Crane Lumber
company's farm near that city.
Mr.. Edison has been an enthusias-
tic booster for the agricultural, in
tefests of Stevens county throughout
his period of service and considerable
regret was expressed by the members
of the committee when he announced
his intention Of giving up the coun-
ty agent work for the school posi-
tion. He has consistently interested
himself in the vital farming inter
ests of the county and has been in
strumental in bringing some fine
pure bred sires and females into the
county during the past year besides
having eradicated the barberry in the
county and headed numerous other
projects that have proven very bene-
fetal to large numbers of the farmers
in the county.
In taking up his new work at the
agricultural school Mr.. Edison will
enter a field that he has especially
fitted himself for in the past and as a
poultry specialist will be valuable
asset to the faculty of the school and
at the same time available to the far
mers of the county when there is
need of his services.

Helped Johnnie" Get Pension.

w. L. Colyer was in the Mobile
campaign in the spring of 1865, and
one morning early in May was sent
out north of the city with troops to
prevent the rebels from destroying
the railroad shops at Whistler. His
detachment captured and disarmed
some Confederate cavalrymen.
Five years ago Mr.. Colyer stopped
at Mobile again, visited the old bat
tfefield, and gave an interview to a
Mobile paper telling of his experience
in that city So years before. The
next morning, Mr.. Colyer was waited
on by a number of ex-confederate
soldiers, who greeted him as an old
friend might have been greeted and
did everything to make his stay
pleasant.
Among the ex-rebels was r. e.
Daily, who had had difficulty in estab-
fishing his record as an ex-soldier,
but whom Mr.. Colyer knew to be
one of the cavalrymen he had helped
capture. The Confederate soldiers
were disarmed and sent home, and so
never received regular discharges, but
with Mr.. Colyer's evidence Mr., DAILY
was able to establish his claim to a
pension.
- This week, Mr.. Colyer received a
letter from Mr.. Daily, in which he
says: ..@ iii ..<74sr +:
:. 1.-The article you had published as
to the war and visit to Mobile, Ala,
1 pinned it onto my application with
other information. No doubt was a
great help in my application being
approved and I am now getting a
pension, $3.50 every three months,
which is some help for me in my old
age"
AS a postscript, he adds, This is
the man you captured at Eight mile
creek out from Whistler, Mobile Co,
Ala, one May morning in 1866
Our rolls, Federal and ConfedeEates,
are thinning" t< zfI ..s-e. d
Mr.. Daily is now the adiutant of

BUILDING ACTIVITIES
ARE PROMISING HERE
Construction of Homes and Improve
ments Expected to Exceed Those
of Last Year.

Building activities in Morris and
vicinity during the spring and sum-
mer months this year will surpass
those of last year by goodly margin
according to local lumber dealers,
who look forward to increased con-
struction work during the coming
months. According to inquiries al
ready made by prospective home
builders, there will be eight or ten
new homes erected in this city before
another winter sets in besides con-
siderable remOdeling and improve
ments on local residences.
A number of factors enter into the
increased activities along this line.
Chief among them are, the fact that
lumber prices have reached a low
level, the decreased construction costs
for labor over last year and the de-
mand here as elsewhere for housing
facilities. At present lumber has
reached the bottom price and if there
is any marked tendency toward a
change it will be on an upward
trent, according to present indica-
tions. Wages of brick layers, plaster
ers, masons, painters and carpenters
have reached lower level than that
of a year ago.
Should a Building and Loan AS
socition be established in Morris in
accordance with tentative plans now
being formulated it is expected that
it will result in a marked increase
of home building during the next
few. years, and starting to some ex-
tent, this year.
During the past month a marked
increase of building has been noted
in the larger cities and according to
the National Lumber Merchant, at
dealers magazine, building activities
are now spreading to smaller cities
and towns and rural districts, with
inquiries for material which indicates
the early building of a variety of
structures, in which dwellings will
play no inconsequental part. Reports
from the Minneapolis market indi-
cate a much better feeling in the ag-
ricultural districts during the past
sixty days and that the volume of
new work will probably exceed what
was expected at the beginning of the
year. "'

HOT LUNCHES FEATURE
COUNTY SCHOOL WORK
Monthly Report of County Nurse
Shows Popularity of Warm
Dishes for Children.

During the month Of March, Miss
Bertha Brubaker, Stevens county
nurse, worked in the village schools
OF Alberta, Chokio and Hancock.
Travelling was done by railroad.
Hot lunches were served in all the
village and town schools of the Coun-
ty but one, during the cold winter
months. In some Of the schools g.
minimum amount was charged the
children for the hot dish served. In
one school the school board appTo-
priated money to cover the cost OF
the hot lunches.
/ 1t was found that under this plan
of management the children who
most needed the hot dish containing
milk were getting it, whereas under
the plan of taxing the children for
the food those who most needed the
nourishment were deprived of it.
Most of the country schools paid for
the hot lunch outright either by ap
preparation of the school board or by
funds raised from entertainments.
Under such a plan all the children
were provided with the hot food.
Many health posters have arrived
at the county nurses Office this
month from schools of the county.
Some of the posters have been placed
on exhibit in the window of Krueger's
Drug store in Morris. These posters
show that the children of Stevens
County have learned some valuable
fundamental principles of healthful
living and they are bound to profit
by these lessons just as they will BY
any other good thing they learn in.
their school days.
