HOME MATERIAL AND
BEST OF HIGHWAYS

Bids for construction of roads will
be examined and passed on at ITALIA
hassee this week, and the Star hopes
the department will accept the one
that will insure the best road and the
greatest use of home material, even if
it calls for a greater expense. 1t will
not pay to save some money now by
putting down a road that will dete-
riorate so rapidly that it will have
to be renewed in a few years, and ev-
cry dollar spent at home for material
will lessen the weight of taxation.
One bid recently received at ITALIA
hassee on 6-inch plain concrete, al
though somewhat lower than 3-inch
asphaltic surface on an 8-inch native
limerick base, has not met with the
approval of the best authorities on
road building. The best authorities
have conceded that concrete road
of 8 inches or 10 inches in thickness,
properly reinforced, makes very
serviceable road But the light g.
inch concrete road on the loose sand
fills in Baker, Nassau and Duval
counties has not proved practical, as
those fills must necessarily settle
causing any concrete surface to crack
and will in time ned an asphaltic sur
face
The second low bid was a 3-inch
high type asphaltic surface laid on ar
S-inch compacted rock base of native
limerick, which will settle with fill
without cracking as the asphaltic sur
face is somewhat flexible and the
limerick base has been passed upon
as one of theb est possible foundations
to use in Florida
Furthermore, the concrete road pro-
posed is to be constructed of Colum-
bia, S. c., granite, sand from Geor'
gia and cement from northern mills
Less than five per cent of the cost OF
the road will be left in Florida. The
asphaltic road on a native limerick
base will leave nearly 80 per cent OF
the cost within the state.
WHY not accept the asphaltic bid or

White Springs will not be built.
Every bit of Florida south of Lake
City demands that this link in road
other section of any other road be
built Tourists to Florida recognize
two legitimate routes into the state,
the Valdosta-Jasper-Lake City route,
and the Waycross-Jacksonville route
They have right to come either way;
and by the same logic and reasons the
people of southern Florida have a
right to go out of the state via this or
any other route they wish, within the
bounds of reason.
The Tribune calls on every paper in
the state to join it in the demand that
the program as announced publicly by
Judge Phillips at Jacksonville be car
ried out, in so far at least, as it will
make a fair roadway entrance to Flor
ida through both the Jasper-Lake City
an dthe Waycross-Jacksonvil route

| The Ocala Star commenting on
Judge Phillips announced program
concerning this state road No. 2, says:
"At the meeting of the Southern
States Good Roads convention in Jack
sonville last week, Judge H. B. Phil
lips, chairman of the state good roads
department, expressed himself direct
ly in favor of finishing the great
highway from Atlanta to Fort Myers
at once. In Florida, this part of the
route is known as state road No. 2. It
is not that the Judge favors leaving
unfinished the work on other and con-
!. Meeting roads, but he desires this par
ticular line completed as soon as pos
sible. The road north to south thru
!, Jasper, Lake City, Gainesville, Ocala
and Leesburg, to South Florida, cross
ing road No. at Lake City, with the
nearly finished road down the east
, coast, will make a system for all the
! roads in the state and from other
states to connect with. 1t is the duty
and to the interest of South Florida
: to give Chairman Phillips full sup
2 port, through it's newspapers and rep
l resentatives in the legislature, fol-
this plan. Tampa Tribune.
1t looks to the Star like there is ar
alliance between West Florida anc
e Jacksonville to sidetrack, derail OF
a even smash every plan for the benefit
e of peninsular Florida, and owing tt
a the gerrymandering of the Legislature
it has so far succeeded.
VI South Florida, however, while hello

Hold First Meeting.

On Tuesday evening the residents
of Princeton who have become inter-
ested in a Parent-Teacher association
and the members of the faculty for,
1922 met in the high school assembly
room to re-organize and elect officers
for the coming year. About 100 men
and women were present.
The following officers were elected
by ballot: President, Rev. S. A..
Lumb; vice president, Mrs. Lulu.
Owens; secretary-treasurer, Miss Bur-
ton.
After the election of officers the
parents and teachers spent a most
pleasant social hour together. It is
to the best interests of all concerned
to have the residents of the village,
particularly the parents of the school
children, and the teachers meet as
soon as possible. It is expected the
association will be of great benefit to
the community during the coming,
year.

Clarence La Masurier and Winton
Peterson, who are now conducting the
Wahkon Enterprise, certainly have the
best wishes of all the residents in
Mile Lacs county. The Enterprise
has good record. It has invariably
stood for clean, progressive govern
ment with Americanism spelled with a
big A. The new proprietors will un-
doubtedly find they have a good field
in the lake country. If they follow in
the paternal footsteps and maintain
as good paper as the Ogilvie Sentinel
published by G. A. LeMasurier, the
residents of Wahkon will have no
cause for complaint.

The estimated cost Of the bonus is
approximately $4,000, 100000, which
would be made a direct charge against
the federal treasury, as no provision
is made in the bill for financing.
I, On Wednesday President Harding
returned the bonus bill to the house
with his veto The house passed the
bill over the veto by vote of 258 to
81 or so more than the necessary two
thirds majority. The senate on the
same day, late yesterday afternoon,
by vote of % to A sustained Hard
ing's veto, thus casting three votes
more than necessary to prevent the
measure from becoming a law.
Senator Knute Nelson voted to sus-
tain the veto and Senator Frank Kel-
logg, to override it.

pected at an early date.

suggestion is we'll worth considering
AS he said, large portion of the ag-
ricultural hall at the state fair is de-
voted to county exhibits. If enough
townships could be induced to display
to fill our agricultural building, it
would be one of the finest sights ever
seen on the grounds The townships
would undoubtedly not plan to occupy
the flower stand or. quite all Of the
space in the building. Room should be
kept also for the individual garden ex-
hibits.
The unit gave a rising vote of
thanks to the committee that was in
charge Of the township display.
Mr.. Normandin spoke of the advan-
tages of culling the poultry flocks and
said the county farm bureau associa-
ton would have man in the town
ship to give demonstration in cul-
ling.
There was some discussion relative
to the community scale and all the
members were urged to refuse to sell
to potato buyers who were not at the
market place.
Oscar Erickson and some other
members of the unit expressed a de-
sire to hear the rural credits amend
ment explained. An attempt will be
made to secure speakers on this sub
ject to address meetings in Greenbush
during the next month.
It was voted to hold the next meet
ing at the home Of Joseph Mallotte
on the afternoon Of October 10. The
business session then adjourned. :.
Refreshments were served and the
company adjourned, after enjoying a
pleasant social hour.

HOLDS MEETING
Members of Greenbush Unit Meet in
Town Hall for Regular
Monthly Session.
SPEAKERS DO NOT APPEAR
Discussion of Evening Centers on the
Subject of Township Exhibits
at County Fair.

On Tuesday evening about 80 mem
bers of the Greenbush farm bureau
assembled at the town hall. It was
the first meeting to be held by the
unit since July 6. A speaker who
was expected from the Central CO.
operative shipping association failed
to appear. Mr.. Hammargren was al
so detained by the arrival Of car of
piric acid and so. he could not be
present.
The greater part of the meeting was
devoted to a discussion Of township
exhibits at the county fair. The
Greenbush members were much disap-
pointed because they were not al
lowed to keep the blue ribbon this fall
but they are good losers and all who
spoke on the subject stated that the
Princeton exhibit was entitled to more
points according to the premium list.
There was, however, not a man or
woman present who would for one
moment admit that Greenbush could
not have won first place if enough
time and effort had been spent on
the display. Louis Rocheford and
Louis Normandin both stated that the
members of their unit did not start
early enough in the season to collect
material for their display. Both men
emphasized the real benefit that can
be, derived from exhibiting at the fair.
1t is not to be measured by the amount
of money which an Individual or unit
receives which generally barely covers
the expense involved. One of the
chief benefits is the stimulus to bet
ter production which results from
competing with other producers.
Then, Of course, a good display is the
best possible advertisement for an in
dividual, township or county.
Mr.. Normandin suggested that it
! would be we'll for the townships next
year to ask the fair management for
space in the agricultural hall for
their exhibits. This matter was put
in the form Of motion which was
carried unanimously.
1t would seem that Mr.. Normandin's

UP TO THE FARMERS
If the Community Scale is to Be a
Success the Farmers Must
Support It.

The mass meeting in the armory
which was called for last Saturday
afternoon did not materialize. About
twenty-five farmers assembled in
front of the building but those who
were directing the affair seemed to
think that not sufficient number were
present to warrant holding meeting.
It was generally understood that the
discussion would be chiefly on the
community scale.
The Union wishes to state that the
notice of the meeting in last weeks
issue was written in accordance with
the wishes of those who requested
that the announcement be made.
The community scale is being fairly
we'll patrcnized and the majority Of
potato buyers make their headquar-
ters at the scale house, but there are
still a few buyers who refuse to come
to the market place. This would not
be a serious matter if the farmers
would refuse to sell to them, but un-
fortunately there are enough growers
who will haul their potatoes directly
to the warehouses to make it profita-
BILE for those men to remain there.
It is not fair to the buyers who do
stay at the community scale nor to
the farmers who patronize it to allow
this bidding at the warehouses to con-
tinue. There seems however to be no
way to check the practice if the farm
ers cannot create enough sentiment
among themselves to stop it. It is to
the interest of every potato grower
in this country to Lave the community
scale maintained but if the farmers
have not enough cooperative spirit to
stand together on the proposition they
are beaten. No one can save them
but themselves.
It is stated that the growers some
times lose as much as 20 cents a
hundred on load Of potatoes by
neglecting to come to the scale where
the majority of buyers are stationed.
The weigh master states the aver
age number Of loads on the scale in
one day is about 80 at the present
time.
No one questions the accuracy of
the scale. The state inspector just
tested it and states it was absolutely
true. The majority Of farmers do not
appear to be objecting to the weigh
ing fee of Is cents load. Going to
the community scale is really a mat
ter of habit and it is good habit to
acquire.

The lake country produces good
grain and forage crops.and there were
some exceptionally fine specimens on
display.
The women did more than their bit
in their departments of needlework,
flowers and cann.d goods. The amount
of embroidery, crocheted pieces ct
cetra that can be collected in one
township is indeed surprising.
The members of the Boys and
Girls club had pigs and calves on ex-
hibit. The calves included five
Guernseys and one Holstein. Arnold
Pinz won the prize for the best dairy
calf. All the four boys entering pigs
were awarded prizes. They were Ole
Sabo, Harold Sabo, Floyd Althaus and
Walter Munkelwitz.
The poultry made a good showing
and included turkeys and seven breeds
of chickens.
At about 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon the exhibits were. taken down
and a great number of articles that
had been donated to the fair associa-
tion were sold at auction.
The proceeds Of this auction and the
money obtained from the sale of tick
cts on a 40-acre tract will be applied
to fund being collected to erect an

The land that was sold lies about six
miles east of Isle and was donated to

Saltwater. William Wegerman drew
the lucky number and won the land.

The street fair held at Isle on Fri
day and Saturday was attended by
approximately 600 people. These ex-
hibits were very good and were a
great credit to the enterprising resi-
dents in the lake country. There were
81 exhibitors and $125 was paid in
premiums.
The individual farm exhibits, canned
fruit, grains, grasses, fruits, potatoes
and other vegetables were in the
building occupied by the Isle Construc.
tion company. The needlework and
flowers were in the I. o. o. F. hall
The poultry and livestock were placed
nearby.
All the exhibits were unusually
good and there were many entries in
every department except the livestock
which is feature that is just being
introduced at the township fair. The
exhibits could have we'll filled twice
the space occupied by them. The resi-
dents of Isle are looking to the future
and are making plans to soon erect ar
agricultural hall.
The individual farm exhibits made
most attractive display. There were
three entries in this department. F
c. Broker of Spruce Grove farm, who
won first place with a score of 8f
points, had 81 varieties in his exhibit
Chas. L. Mason scored II and Adam
Althaus so points.
The display of potatoes would have
been a credit to any county fair as fa1
as quality is considered and there
we're seven varieties including russets
carmens, cobblers, green mountains
triumphs, early Ohios, and rural New
Workers.
There was great array Of vege
tables including severa1 varieties O,
squash, turnips, carrots, beets, onions

Visit the County Fairs.

Princeton sent a delegation of 16
cars to the Isanti county fair last Fri
day. The residents of that county
have reason to be proud of their fair
this year. AS in Mile Laos county
an effort had been made to raise the
standard of the exhibits in the various
departments. There was a wonderful
display of fireworks in the evening.
Anoka county is holding her fair
this week and next week, from the
9th to the 30th Sherburne county will
have her exposition. The residents Of
Mile Lacs county should be neighbor-
ly and attend both these fairs.
