The new policy recently announced
by Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, to hold trunk highway
projects under the new county reim-
bursement bond law to those that are
important and necessary, is subject
of comment and commentator. The
commissioner maintain that high
way improvements to benefit the
greatest numbers must come before
others now the trunk system is made
entirely passable, and asserts that
the aim is to prevent the cucumber
ing of funds and taking of money for
minor projects when important bet
terments are waiting construction.
Hennepin county roads already
well improved and provided for by
special acts of the legislature, the
following from The Minneapolis
Journal is disinterested:
"Any county that wants to see it's
own particular section of some i'm
portant and much travelled State
highway permanently improved, can
count on the Commissioners assis-
lance and approval. 1t is estimated
that the Commissioner will have
county projects to pass on amount
ing to eleven million dollars, and
that he will scale them down to four
millions by selecting those which will
improve heartily Travelled roads. The
law is a good one, if UTILIZED reason

that it is commencing to crumble. In
prior elections Minneapolis has been
a Preus stronghold. In fact it was
the $4,000 or so plurality rolled up
by Hennepin in 1922 which saved the
governors political bacon. There is
a well defined rumor that the Cham
Der of Commerce crowd have desert
ed the governor and that their influ-
ence will go to Congressman Ander.
son.
Nine out of ten of the attorneys of
Minneapolis, and the state as whole,
for that matter, are for Judge Hal
lam-men who know him best. Con-
gresham Tom Schall will also cut
quite figure in Minneapolis. The
Governor may carry Hennepin county
at the primaries but it is not likely
that his greatly reduced plurality in
Hennepin can make up for his losses
in the rural communities.
For a. number of years Judge Hal
lam has been one of the instructors
in the st. Paul College of Law. There
are ESQ students in this institution
and they are 100 per cent for Judge
Hallam. A committee from the
school came to Hallam headquarters
few days ago and requested 10000
letters which the students desired 10
send out to their friends urging them
to support the former associate JUS
tice. Each one of the students has
pledged himself to send out 80 of
these letters. The postage bill of
$500 for this service will be borne by
the students themselves.
No man in Minnesota has ever had
a more loyal set of men working at
headquarters than has Judge Hallam.
In most instances these workers are
giving their service gratiously and
the few dollars available to carry on
Mr.. Hallam's campaign are being con-
tributed by his friends in St. Paul.
There are no big interest upon whom
a call can be made, for, as his cam
paign slogan reads he is "a plain
progressive citizen for the United
States senate" .....

FRUIT TREE AZ YEARS OLD

Seeing an apple tree, that had been
planted over AZ years ago, and still
bears fruit in abundance, is indeed
not an every day occurance.
We have just such a tree in our
city, it is the property of Mrs. Jo-
seph Capser. The tree is a Siberian
crab, and has been planted oyer 42
years, it stands about II feet high,
and the main trunk measures 40 inch
es, and II feet across the boughs.
Fruit from this tree has twice been
exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair
and on both occasions, carried first
prize. The writer has viewed this
tree, and at the present time, with its
blossoms, it is very beautiful to gaze
upon.

HAROLD CLIFF BREAKS LEG

Harold Cliff, 13 year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Cliff, had his leg
broken just above the ankle, Tuesday
afternoon when he fell from his BIZ
cycle.
The report the Herald got of the
accident, Harold was riding his bicy-
Gle near the Irwin home on Main
street, and some schoolmates whom
he was passing, playfully grabbed the
bicycle, and by so doing caused the
fall, which resulted in broken leg
for the rider.
The little fellow was picked up and
carried to the doctors office and later
to the Sweetman Hospital, where an
X-Ray was taken. The boy was then
removed to his home. The latest re-
ports indicate that the little fellow is
resting as easy as can be expected.

Want County Agent.

A Lincoln county farmer and
dairyman was in the county
agents office here last week, with
a tale of woe because the Lincoln
county board of supervisors had
abolished the county agent by cut
ting off the appropriation, and the
man told of the many difficulties
he experienced as a result.
This farmer wanted to know
how to stop blight, how to feed
his stock, how to look after hogs
in winter, and many other things,
which he said, the county agent
helped in and he obtained what
assistance and advice as could be
given him by the county agents
office here. If this man is a fair
example of Lincoln county farm
ers, the supervisors of Lincoln
county will have to put back the
county agent or get into trouble

1t Seems To Be Human Nature.

The Chippewa Falls Herald
touches upon subject, in recent
editorial, that should be given
more thought and likewise devel-
op a little more charity. Too many
people, it says, have the habit of
speaking i'll of others. They are
silent as the tomb when there is
anything good to say. But when
the breath of scandal blows when
disparaging things are said, when
evil things are intimated, then
how eager are persons of this type
to accept as gospel truth whatev-
er they may hear! This is a quirk
in poor old human nature. 1t has
caused millions to mourn. 1t has
broken many lives. It has result
ed in cruelties and injustices
which are beyond measure. And
yet it goes on. And yet one may
hear it on every side-the whisper
ed word of scandal, the acceptance
of tales, however revolving with
out any attempt what ever to as
certain their truth or falsity.
How seldom one finds charitable,
generous, just tongues. How sell
dom one hears only good spoken
of those who may be discussed
where groups are gathered togeth-
er. The habit of speaking i'll
seems to be distressingly prevail
ent. It affects public men as well
as men in private life Human
nature seemingly always has been
this way. Perhaps it always will
be this way, in some measure

sively and sell hogs, or cattle, or

questions upon the market-at-

in the minds of breeders can best
be answered by asking other ques-
