COURTESY ON THE HIGHWAY

a Northern newspaper recently offered and
awarded prize for an essay en- the rules Of
courtesy" to be observed BY motorists when lrav-
cling the highways of our country. The average
town and city could we'll afford to have these
rules painted huge sign boards to be erected at
the principal entrances 10 the municipality because
there are many who seem to have no knowledge
CT these rules or if they do, utterly ignore them.
Each and every motor driver will find something IL
the list that will be helpful in promoting consid-
Grafton for others:
BE courteous to your benefactor the traffic
officer
Inform others of your intentions by proper sig
mails, that they may avoid bIunders
Look out for the children, the aged and the
infrm
In case of accident, investigate, and bear your
share of the blame.
When driving, forget your business worries,
and attend to the JOB on hand
Be good sport. Let waiting pedestrians and
drivers past a busy intersection. They may be
in as great hurry as you are.
Use your horn as a friendly warning, not as
an instrument Of terror.
Wait your turn in line of traffic
Allow room cn your left fer those who wish
TO pass.
urn off on a side street when you need to make
temporary repairs, so you won't hold up traffic
on the main thcroughfare
BE patient with other drivers; some of them
may be inexperienced"
New wouldn't there be 'ot more pleasure in
driving. for everybody, if everybody obeyed these
rules3 More safety. too.

THIS FROM A RIVAL
FLORIDA CITY

Replying to yours OF the 4th inst
relative to the value of good hotels
to a community, wish to say that
know of nothing more essential to the
building Of community than good
hotels, unless it be good roads; only
we must have good roads for people
to come to the community over and
then after they get here it is absolute
ly necessary that we have good hotel
facilities to house them.
Lakeland, as well as Orlando, has
been handicapped through the lack
of hotel facilities. l can cite a num-
Der of instances where people have
come to Orlando and have had to
leave and go to Kissimmee or Sanford
for the reason that the hotels in Or
lando were unable to take care of
them. l have also heard OF a great
number Of people having to sit in the
lobby of hotel or the railroad station
over night as they were unable to. get
in the hotels. have had number
of people in my Office, asking for in
formation concerning first class no
tel5, and naturally l referred them to
our best, and in return they told me
they meant real first class hotels.
There was nothing left for me to do
but to tell them that we did not have
in our community a real first-class ho-
tel, which resulted in them going elseN
where. In my opinion these people
that we lose by not having firstclass
accommodations are the people that
we should make every effort to hold.
They are the people Of influence and
finance and are the people that do a
community the most good.
Orlando is now doing her best to
correct this error. We, at the present
time, have under construction an elev-
en- story hotel of steel construction,
the steel of which is up and the plumb
ing, flooring, etc., are being put in.
We also have another eight-story no.
tel, the first three floors of which are
up. These two projects are supposed
to be completed not later than De-
cember. There is also contemplated a
first-class hotel of $50 rooms. Same
has not yet been started. However, |
was talking with their fiscal agent
yesterday, and he told ME that this
hotel would be finished about the
same time as the other two.
There has been considerable talk

The officers Of the Farm Bureau as
ISOLATION may be somewhat disap-
pointed at the action of the county
commissioners in appropriating only
81 500 for the work Of the organiza-
tion during the ensuing year. They
should however remember that this is
an increase of $500 on last years ap-
preparation. It is unfortunate that
the commissioners did not come to
some understanding before voting.
When Commissioner Axell had moved
that 81 800 be granted and Carl Eek
dali had seconded the motion both
Levau and Newton voted against it
because they thought that it would be
well to appropriate a larger amount.
Chairman Sehlin however did not
know the sentiment of the other COM
missioners and rather than see the
motion lost he voted yes, even though
personally he was in favor of larger
appropriation. The method of pro-
cedure placed Mr.. Sehlin in an awk-
ward position. It is rumored that the
board may be asked to reconsider the
matter at/its next meeting. If the
farmers in the various districts will
express themselves on the question,
our commissioners may feel that they
have the authority to alter their de-
cision.

Several of our senators agree that
American troops should be withdrawn
from the Rhine This should cause
no surprise. The embarrassment with
which the allied finance ministers re-
ceived Mr.. Hughes notice that the
American Rhine occupation bill is due
and is a preferred charge against Ger
man war payments left little doubt
that the allied governments no longer
value our assistance in garrisoning the
armistice zone. They certainly do not
value it enough to have it paid for
from now on out of the priority fund
created under the terms of the armis-
tice and the Versailles treaty. Under
these circumstances the United States
is free to regard compliance with
earlier urgent requests to continue the
occupation of the Coblenz area as
nullifed. We have kept troops there
for months past more as a courtesy
than for any other reason. Then, as
their service is not desired or appre-
ciated, why not bring every last one Of
them home?

About this season of the year, the
average, healthy man feels stirring
somewhere in the depths of his being
a desire to be gardening. In some
cases the instinct may have been
smothered through years of neglect,
but it is there just the same and if he
be wise man he will yield to it. 1t
helps put mans soul right with the
world to get down on hands and knees,
sowing the seeds from which he later
expects to gather his flowers and
fruit. The housewife too may have a
desire for gardening but alas too fire.
quently her duties hold her within
doors. There she fourishes the dust
cloth and yields the broom, driving
forth every speck of dirt that infests
her domain. The husband stands back
observing the activities of his help
mate with wonder and alarm, but it
is useless to attempt to stop her. She
is on her annual or semi-annual cru
SADIE against dust and dirt While the
marbles and base balls foretell the
coming Of spring, the gardening and
the housekeeping testify to the fact
that it has actually arrived.

From the dailies we gather the in
formation that James M. Cox of Ohio
has emerged from the political maus-
oleum sufficiently long to declare that
he intends going up to Massachusetts,
next fall and defeat Henry Cabot
Lodge for the senate. It is possible
that the late democratic leader has
been perusing the biblical story of
David and Goliath and imagines he
can turn similar trick, but if he does
he will have to put different ammuni-
ton than that used last year in his
sling.

Congresswoman Alice

Congresswoman Alice Robertson
does not appear to be much perturbed
over the fight brewing in Oklahoma to
defeat her for reelection. If Okla
homa does not want able and credit
winning representatives at the nation
al capital why should Miss Robertson
care. The shame would be Oklaho-
mas, not hers. She has, according to
authentic reports, served her district,
her state and her country with un-
usual ability, and state and nation
have enjoyed the results of that good
work. Miss Robertson will go right
along achieving in the same creditable
way whether in private or official life.
Will her district fare as we'll by plac-
ing it's interests in the keeping of a
less worthy representative? The is
sue is in actuality onesided, for Miss
Robertson can get along great deal
better without publ c office than public
office can get along without her.

The story comes from Buenos Aires
that the governor of Chubut, Pata-
gonia, has issued an edict to the ex-
petitions hunting the plesiosaurian in
his province forbidding the capture or
killing of any antediluvian monster
that may be discovered. We fancy
that this order is unnecessary, for if,
as reported, the amphibian is 40 feet
in height by 1913 feet in length, weighs
about 40 tons and travels at the rate
of 60 miles an hour, the hunters would
move rapidly in the opposite direction
should they espy it through their field
glasses in the far distance.

The plan to extend the village water
system across the river to the north
ern portion of the town should meet
with no serious opposition. AS con-
ditions now are, the people in that
section of the village have no fire pro-
lection and as taxpayers they are en-
titled to it. More residences would
probably be reached if the water
pipes were not laid on Main street
alone but were carried to street one
block to the west.

FREDERICK H. WHITNEY.

In the death Of Frederick H. Whit
ney, the st. Cloud reformatory loses
a most efficient official. But he was
more than that, he was a friend to
the boys entrusted to his care. The
st. Cloud Journal Press in comment
upon his service states:
He had the gift of discipline with
out resort to the authority invested in
an officer, and his whole heart was in
his work. To the young men who
came under his charge he was both
a brother and friend. His greatest
pleasure was the scores and scores OF
letters he received from the boys when
they went back into the world as use
full and respected citizens, telling of
their appreciation for his kindly in.
terest and encouragement.
Mr.. Whitney had natural gifts
which fitted him for the position which
he occupied but he had another inval.
liable asset, the influence of an un.
derstanding wife, woman whose
heart was big enough to mother all
the unfortunate boys who came unde,
her husbands care. No one who hac
been in the Whitney home could fai
to realize that the mother of that
household must have been exercising
a very potent influence through the
medium Of her husband on the in.
mates of the St. Cloud reformatory
Thus in a home where there is the
most sympathetic understanding may
a motherly woman exercise a fa1
reaching influence. To the members
of his family their friends extend the
deepest sympathy.

The screen production, Foolish
Wives" that created such a stir in
New York is being presented in this
section Of the country in a modified
form. The scenes that were so Sc
verely censored have evidently been
eliminated. So it doth appear that
the theatergoers in the northwest
have some advantages over the blase
New York audiences.

THE MUD WILL GO.

but somehow their reports are not as
disturbing as they might be. The
Scenic highway is not exactly in the
pink of condition, but who would ex-
pect it to be at this time of year?
We have not yet forgotten the wild
rumors that were being circulated a
year ago to the effect that the highway
between Princeton and Milaca was
utterly ruined because the engineers
had neglected to provide sufficient
drainage. It was also reported that
the Jefferson highway below Elk River
was impossible, pieces Of the pave
ment were supposed to be floating
away on a sea of mud When the
frost was out of the ground, the doubt
ing Thomases found the Scenic high
way between Milaca and Princeton
was by all odds the best road in this
section Of the country and little re-
pair put it in frst-class condition.
Moreover the pavement on the Jeffer-
son highway was intact, just as it had
been for the past twelve months.
Our highways are not perfect, but
we are not investing sufficient money
in them to have perfect roads, with
the heavy traffic to which they are
subjected and the varying climatic
conditions. It is possible that further
repairs may be made on the Scenic
highway which will somewhat improve
the drainage but it takes time and
money for all this work and we can
not expect miracles to be wrought,
especially when the funds at the dis
posal of our highway department are
somewhat limited. Many complaints
have been made concerning the snow
plows that threw great drifts of snow
in banks 10 and IL feet deep along the
roads. These huge banks of snow
melting have done much damage un-
less the maintenance superintendent
have made provision for the water
draining into the bitches at the side Of
the road When the snow commenced
to melt the maintenance men should
have been on the job.
The stretch south of town is in
worse condition than that to the north.
No one should be surprised to hear
that the new road between thinner
man and Elk River is rather soft be-
cause the grading was barely COM
pleted before the snow came. 1t does
seem however that some unnecessary
inconvenience and annoyance was in
ficted on the public by coating a por-
ton of the highway and one of our
village streets with red clay. This Of
course was merely mistake and can
be rectifed. The road apparently
needs gravel and not clay.
Each year there is considerable i'm
provement in the roads in our county.
Thanks to our efficient highway de-
partment, we are making good prog
ress for the money expended. If we
are impatient for more rapid improve
ment, let us spend our energies to
that end and not waste time in criti-
cising the good work that has been
done.

national house of representatives has

was no hole through which they could

Many opinions are expressed by
writer's as to the cause of the prev
alent unrest" in the country and they
vary as much as the forms in which
this unrest manifests itself. Some of
the causes advanced are too much
jazz, too much hootch, too much law
lessness, too much law, too much re-
straint on the people, too little re-
straint, too little religion, too much
preaching, too much unemployment,
too much laziness and so on. 1t
seems to be too much or too little of
one thing or another. The only thing
on which nearly everybody seems to
agree is that too much unrest exists.
