Monday night as he was carrying a
message to a party on Second avenue.
Unfortunately for Smith, a rope

of some one being very sick in that
vicinity. Smith noticed lantern, but
as the lantern was not red he decid-
ed there was no danger until the rope
caught him just under the chin and
threw him for row of somersaults.
The next thing he knew was when
some passerby picked him up and car
ried him to a doctor, where it was
found that he sustained dislocated
arm! and had several abrasions on
the head.
Smith states that in the future he
will always stop when he sights a

MINNESOTA HoNoRED

Minnesota was signally honored by
President Coolidge when he named
Ex-senator Frank B. Kellogg as am
bassador to Great Britain to succeed
Col. George Harvey who, it Is gener-
ally understood, was recalled.
The Herald editor was never par
ticularly keen for Mr.. Kellogg as
United States senator but we are con-
WINGED that he has those peculiar
qualities necessary to make a strong
representative of the United States
government at London. His legal
ability is unquesioned; he has the
necessary personal make up to fit in
nicely with the British aristocracy
he has private fortune of sufficient
size to permit him to accept this inn
portant post. It is well known fact
that the salary paid by the govern
ment for this position will not pay
one-third of the actual expenses re-
quired to maintain the American en-
bassy at London.
Following the announcement of
Mr.. Kellogg's appointment, Senators
Shipstead, johnson and LaFollette
and other radicals let forth howl
and have announced that they will
fight the confirmation when it comes
up before the senate in December.
While it is quite true that Mr.. Kel-
logg is not strong politically in his
own. state, nevertheless he is regard
ed by the nation as a whole as
very able man; he has many friends
In the United States senate regard
less of politics, and it will be the
heighth of folly for Minnesota's two
senators to oppose Mr.. Kellogg's con-
firmation. He will be confirmed.
As ambassador to Great Brition he
does not represent merely Minneso-
Ia but the nation as a whole.
THE average, sane thinking citizen
of Minnesota who may not have adj
mired Mr.. Kellogg as a senator, rec
ognize his ability and fitness for the
post at London and realize the fact
that it is the first time in the history
of the country that man from the
middle west has been selected for
this important position.
Mr.. Kellogg's appointment is an
honor to Minnesota.

Another County Tax Cut


The county tax rate will be two
mills less than last year. One reason
for the tax reduction is on account
of the fact that we did not have to
levy so much money for road main
tenance. The Babcock road plan
takes care of several county roads
and this enables US to make $685.

Says Nobody's Kicking
There isn't man nor a woman
driving car in this county who has
raised a complaint about the system
of state highways, as regards to
costs-at least we have not heard OF
any. There isn't a man nor woman
in this county who can justly COM
plain. They have received dollar
back for dollar spent, and then some.
Every fair-minded citizen is forced to
admit these facts. To those, if there
be any, who doubt it, let their mind
wander back over a period of say
even S or 6 years. If they have kept
dairy of their daily travels We'll
wager that there are several nota-
tons appearing therein to the effect:
"Got stuck near Johnson's corner
while on way to town. Had to get
neighbours team to pull me out" or
Roads terribly muddy. Came near

Billboards Ban Soon
The state legislature, Commits
sioner Babcock of Minnesota Trunk
highways and State Auditor Chase
are to be credited with the removal
from the public highways of all adj
vertising signs and billboards, that
are blot to the landscape, and some
times a menace, as they shut off the
view of the highway when placed
near sharp curves. The signs, in
compliance with the lew, must be re-
moved by December LIST and Mr.. Bah
cock has issued the notice to men in
charge of the highways to see that it
is enforced. Mr.. Chase in a letter to
the highway commissioner promised
all support within his province and
will refuse to permit any signs or
billboards on state lands. If private
owners of property along the high
ways will also refuse to give leases to
billboards, Minnesota will be one
state to be free of this nuisance.
Perhaps that is too much to expect
although we are confident that many
of them will respect the spirit #

they will receive the thanks Of all
who use our public highways.-St.
