FARMERS RAILROAD.
HARMS VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
TO FARMERS BY HAULING
HOGS BY TRUCK TO
TERMINAL MARKET.

Arriving at the South st. Paul
stockyards with truck load of hogs
on a recent morning was one farm
or in overalls and SLOUGH hat who
looked much like the others using
better highways-"farmers' rail-
roads'-to transport livestock to
market. He had hauled the hogs
from his farm near Kimball to sell
them on the open market, without
railroad delays or high freight
charges, and was getting a first
hand demonstration of the value OF
good roads to farmers.
Special attention was paid him
only when he raised his now nation
ally famous voice above the din and
clatter to announce: '1've got the
best load of hogs in Minnesota and
they're worth more than 1913"
Then there was rush to greet this
particular ''dirt farmer"-United
States Senator Magnus Johnson.
ct doesn't take long to change
from farmer to senator" said Sen
stor Johnson. when Pm in a hur-
ry l just yank off these overalls and
put on a clean suit of clothes and
q white collar from that grip under
the seat"
And selling his hogs at a price
within 10 cents of the top, he hied
himself to meet the Swedish arch
bishop who was visiting st. Paul
that day.
"Well, we can be sure Of one
more thing now-Magnus will vote
right on good roads in congress,
just as all our Minnesota senators
and representatives always have"
remarked another farmer. "He
knows what they're worth to US
after hauling his hogs nearly rs
miles by truck this morning."
'Most of the way on a paved
road too" put in still another.
HE will stand by federal aid for
good roads-that'll mean more to
u than spending government funds
for army and navy and rivers and
harbors and all that"
And the line of farmers began
talking good roads advantages as
they waited turns at the unloading
chutes which are constantly being
enlarged as larger numbers of farm
ers begin hauling in their own farm
trucks.

LIGHT UP BRITISH CAPITAL
Electric Signs. Everywhere In the
Streets Of the Hitherto Rather
DInoy City.

London at night is now a fairy
land composed of colored electric
lights winking and flashing from
most positions where crowds congre-
gate.
Electric advertising signs meet
the eye at every turn, and tens of
thousands of pounds have been spent
on providing a novel form of free
entertainment for passers-by-an
entertainment which has the advan-
tage from the advertisers point of
view OF impressing the merits of
wares upon the memory of the pub
lie, says London Tit-Bits.
The Nestle's Baby, who wakes up
and cries for his bottle many times
nightly, and who smiles and drinks
in joyous satisfaction on being sup
piled with his requirements, is not
the first Of his family.
Some years ago one of these cleo
trio babies was sent to Constanti-
nople. His advent attracted such
huge crowds that the Turkish police
had to keep clearing the streets, and
the sign was allowed to remain only
en- condition that it was Illuminated
at intervals of half an hour.
The one at the London hippo
droms is the largest electric sign in
Great Britain. Over twelve miles of
wire and thousands Of lamps we're
used in its construction.

Ancient College Discipline.

College rules of $50 years ago re-
CURED humble submission to the au-
thorities en- the part of freshmen. One
rule was this: THE freshmen, as we'll
as all other undergraduates, are to be
uncovered and are forbidden to wear
their hats (unless in stormy weather)
in the front dooryard of the presidents
or professors house or within 10 rods
of the person of the president, eight
rods of the professor and five rods Of
tutor" Another Yale rule ran:
When freshman is near a gate or
door belonging to a college or college
yard, he shall look around and observe
whether any of his superiOrs are COM
ing to the same and if any are coming
within three rods, he shall not enter
without signal to proceed"

Another Bus Tax Vote.
To date we have been unable to
find any reason why the humble
taxpayer should be forced to build
and maintain right-of-way for the
convenience of the commercial
truck or bus. We have no quarrel
with this method of transportation
but insist that when an individual
or corporation "goes into bust
ness" it should do so at its own ex-
pense and not at the expense Of
the taxpayer who builds and main
tains highways for his own use and
comfort. If the railroad companies
should ask the taxpayer to build a
few hundred miles of trackage for
them we would hear holler that
is holler, yet few editorial writ
ers appear to think that since the
roads have been built it is nobody's
business how they are used or mis-
used.-Lakefield Standard.
Good Roads to be Big Factor in
Minnesota Land Come Back.
You may not believe it, but land
is coming back and it is coming
back strong. We know that there
are many farmers who claim that
land in Minnesota locality is not
worth cent over $50 per acre, but
not single man who has talked to
us would consider selling for that
amount.
Farm values, generally speaking,
are not based on the crops and the
conditions prevailing over short
period. The advance in land is a
gradual accumulation.
The most important factor in de-
termining land values is community
development.
Good roads, good sc no ] s.,
churches, progressive towns, good
railroad service, good markets, all
these things enter into the reason
ing when it comes to placing farm
values.
Speaking about Minnesota land
prices, and the coming back of the
business of buying and selling of
farms here, we want to call atten-
ton to just one factor that is as
bound to bring back land activity as
it is true that the sparks fly up
ward.
We refer to our roads.
All over the United States and
Canada the fame of the Minnesota
roads has gone forth. Every travel
er coming to our state goes on his
way singing the praises of our road
system.
Minnesota is not only on the map,
but on the tongues of millions, as
the state of wonderful roads.
This reputation has been gained
in just two years-years of depres-
sion and hard times, at that.
Now with the dawn of industrial
revival upon US, with agricultural
frightening, with the eyes
of the nation turned to Minnesota
and its far-famed roads and bound
less resources, our farm land is
bound to go up by leaps and bounds.
Never forget that there is one
thing in this world that there is al
ways a "come back" in and that is
land.-Minnesota Mascot.
