GOVERNOR PREUs
ON GOOD ROADS,
GOVERNOR URIC S TAKING
STOCK OF GOOD ROADS,
POINTING OUT ECON
OMIC VALUE.

The people of Minnesota have
real cause for rejoicing over our
achievements in the way of high
way improvements.
Governor j. A. o. Preus express
ses this conclusion in statement cal
ling attention to the better roads
program an celebration of pro-
jects completed during the last ID
months. The executive proclama
ton follows:
"On November ninth, tenth and
eleventh, the celebration of con-
tinuous pavement of It's miles
from Faribault to Little Faldls viii
be celebrated at various places along
that road. The communities con-
nected by this pavement have in
deed cause for rejoicing, for they
will to a certain extent be direct
beneficiaries ,of this enterprise.
But people in all parts of the
state should join in the rejoic-
ing, for the completion of this high
way will, directly or indirectly bene-
fit every portion of the state.
"In our enthusiasm over this pro
ject, however, let US not forget
what has been accomplished on
roads having less traffic. In eight
cen months since the state took
over the maintenance and improve
ment of the trunk highways, 2,261
miles have been graded, 2,246 miles
have been graveled, 241 miles of
paving has been added, 982 miles
have been reshaped and 804 miles
regarded. The states taking over
these roads has released other state
and local funds for the improve
ment of secondary roads and many
splendid improvements have been
made.
''The time set for the opening of
the Little Falls-Faribault pavement
comes at time when work upon
most road projects must cease for
the winter. It is an opportunate
time to celebrate the seasons ac-
compishments in highway improve
ment in all parts of the state.
When celebrating our achievements
let US also take stock of our needs
and nike plans for future road
work. IN time when we must re-
trench in all public improvements,
would not urge highway improve
merits without careful accounting
e the cost and the benefits. When
1t can be shown that the saving in
cost OF transportation of farm and
other products exceeds the cost OF
highway improvement, plans should
be made to carry out the work at
the earliest possible date that funds
can be obtained without oppressive
taxation.
"Good highways, however, have a
higher value than the mere econ
omic saving. They help bind to.
gether the separated communities of
the state, permit better under
standing between people in the far
corners of the state and thus help
make the state a real unit, They
have an educational value insofar
as they promote travel They bring
people from other states, help adj
vertise the state and give us an
acquaintance with the people of
other states. Counting all these
things, the people of Minnesota have
real cause for rejoicing over our
achievements in the way of highway
Improvement"
Following announcement of the
big pavement celebration, plans for
other road Improvement celebrations
over the state are being made in
many localities.

and the nation.
At a recent meeting of the Lee
C. Prentine Legion Post of Fair
mont, interest was added to the
luncheon and proceedings by the
staging of mock trial. An appar-
emily harmless debate on disarma-

until one of the participants in
volved grew white with rage, drew
a six shooter and deliberately shot
his opponent just as someone
switched off the lights. Forty wild
men Immediately hit the door all at
once in a mad effort to get QUE,
and pandemonium reigned until the
lights went on and the combatants
were found sitting on the floor in
each others arms-singing a love
song. The stunt was so cleverly
played that it took some of the
men long time to realize that
they were the victims of a Joke.

She didn't waste words In pleading. A
sob caught at her throat, and she
fought with all her strength against
the drawn, nearing face. She had for
gotten Elmira; in this dreadful mo-
ment of terror and danger the old wo-
mans broken strength seemed too little
to be of aid. And Dave thought her as
helpless to oppose him as the tall
pines that watched from above them.
His wild laughter obscured the single
sound that she made, strange cry
that seemed lacking In all human quail
ity. Rather 1t was such q sound as a
puma utters as II leaps upon its prey.
1t was the articulation of whole life

come up--and we've had to talk to him
little-with fists and heels"
Linda cried out then, one agonized
syllable. She knew what fists and
heels could do In the fights between
the mountain men. They are as much
weapons OF torture as the claws and
fangs of the Killer. She had an in
stant's dread picture OF this strong
man of hers lying MANNED and broken,
battered, whimpering, ineffective
thing in the moonlight Of some distant
hillside. The vision brought knowledge
to her. Even more clearly than In the
second Of their kiss, before he had
gone to see Hudson, she realized what
an immutable part of her he was. She
gazed with growing horror at Dawes
leering face. where is hef" she
asked. She remembered, with singular
steadfastness, the pistol she had con-

"T'll show you. II you want to get

across the Swallowed room. She spoke

The door closed behind the three Of
them, and they went out into the moon
lit forest. Dave; walked. first. 1t was
wholly characteristic of him that he
should find degenerate rapture In
showing these two women the terrible
handiwork OF the Turner's. He re-
joiced In Just this sort Of cruelty. Lin
da had no suspicion that this excur-
sion was only pretext to get the two
women away from the house, and that
his eagerness arose from deeper
causes. 1t was true; that Dave exulted
In the work. and strangely the fact
that it was part of the plot against
Bruce had been almost forgotten In
the face Of a greater emotion. He was
alone In the darkness with Linda
except of course for a helpless old
woman-and the command of Simon in
regard to his attitude toward her
seemed suddenly dim and far away. He
led them over hill, into the deeper
forest.
So intent was he that he quite failed
to observe singular little signal be-
tween old Elmira and Linda. The wo-
man half turned about, giving the girl
an instant's glimpse Of something that
she transferred from her breast to her
sleeve. 1t was slender and Of steel,
and 1t caught the moonlight on its
shining surface.
The girls eyes glittered when she
beheld 1t. She nodded, scarcely per-
ceptibly, and the strange file plunged
deeper into the shadows.
Fifteen minutes later Dave drew up
to halt in a little patch Of moonlight,
surrounded by wall of low trees and
brush.
