BEGIN BUYING YOUR
COAL SUPPLY NOW

Consumers of coal in the north
west must begin now to purchase
their next winters supply if they
are to avoid another serious fuel
shortage, according to telegram
received Tuesday by o. P. B. Jacob
son, chairman of the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission,
from Herbert Hoover, secretary of
commerce.
Mr.. jacobson said the commission
would redouble its efforts TO i'm
press upon consumers of the north
! west the necessity of securing an
adequate supply of coal early.
''Due to the discussion of railroad
i rates and other matters" said Mr.
| Hoover's telegram, "lake coal is
not moving in sufficient volume.
at is vital for the protection OF
the northwest states securing coal
from the lake docks that large
tonnage should be moved through
the entire season.
"More rail transportation for col
lecting coal at lower docks will BIT
available between now and Septem
Der than after that date. Uncer
tain conditions in the coal trade
seem to point to the necessity fol
dock companies being reinforced
with definite undertakings on TIT
part of purchasers.
at seems highly desirable tina
your body should give this mattel
consideration, especially with view
to undertaking some organized
steps to urge consumers to max,
commitments for consumption ant
storage, thus stimulating the Goa
movement. Any organized move
ment should be undertaken in co
operation with the dock companies.

The st. James Mission in Hib-
bling has just concluded series OF
dances given during the winter and
the church people are more than
satisfied with the results, morally
and financially. At first it was a
question of propriety for the church
to furnish this kind of amusement
for the younger generation but the
results have shown that as long as
dancing is taught in the schools as
a necessary course, that it was al
so necessary that someone furnish
wholesome place for the young
people to do the thing they Were
taught to do. If dancing is to be
made and kept pure and sweet. who
is better able to do it than the
church?

GOOD ROADS MELON
DIVIDED BY STATE.
TWO MILLION DOLLAR FUND
APPORTIONED AMONG
COUNTIES.

Apportionment of the 1928 state
road aid fund of $2,017,0O0 was
announced late yesterday as made
by Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, R. P. Chase,
auditor, and Henry Rines, state
treasurer.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
counties, apportioned $4,000 each,
are the only counties receiving
amounts less than they paid into the
fund under the 1-mill general
property tax levy. The intent OF
the law, however, is that counties
of large assessed valuations should
contribute toward improvement OF
! local roads in counties of less tax
| able wealth. Besides the proceed:
from the 1-mill state tax levy, the
fund includes revenues from state
| lands, Babcock test fees and cthel
| miscellaneous sources.
The money apportioned is TO
use on more important roads, othe
than state trunk highways. ADDE'S
to other county funds and township
and city-village tax levies, it viii
make a total of nearly 27,OOO,OO
this year for local road purposes
That total is nearly four times tn
net amount which will be availabl
. for use on the state 7,OOO-mil
, system of trunk highways whic
, carries four-fifths of the traffic an
, tonnage on the roads, according t
! official figures.
Ramsey and St. Louis eountie
will be paid their shares in full
Hennepin county, however, alread
t has transferred $4,000 to Dakot
{ county, to be turned over TO Rio
| county for use on the Lyndal
/ avenue extension to Faribault, an
e $4,000 to Carver county for US
: on the Short Cut highway shroug
: Hutchinson.
/ Every county in the state will r.
1 ceive $20,170 or more, the law prt
viding that not less than one pc
t cent of the total fund shall be al
. portioned to each county. TIL
: largest items are those of $4,000
: each to Hennepin, Ramsey and S
Louis counties.

One of the institutions which is
of the utmost benefit is the Good
will Industries of Duluth. This in
stitution furnishes employment to
those handicapped needy folks and
old folks who cannot take their
places in regular industries. Each
and every family in the land has
hundreds of articles stored away in
the garretts, etc. of no earthly use
to themselves but of value to these
people of the Goodwill Industries
who reclaim them and sell them to
people not financially able 90 buy
better things. All the moneys re-
ceived from the sale of these goods
go back to the workers and for
necessary overhead. Shoes, clothes,
and all kinds of wearing apparel,
furniture, etc. are reclaimed by the
workers and sold for little money
with which to keep the plant in
operation. Thousands of articles
are yearly thrown on the junk pile
which are of value to the Goodwill
people and the patrons of this in
stitution. Anyone having worn shoes,
clothing, etc. will do a world of
good if they will only ship them to
the Goodwill Industries, 1701, West
Michigan St., Duluth. They will
not only rid themselves of lot of
stuff which will find its place event
ually on the junk pile, but also
assist worthy cause.

Strong men sometimes do the sll.

Governor Preus has reversed the
previous decision to resign and be
appointed IT, S. Senator to fili
Senator Nelson's place, and will call
a special election to fill the vacancy.
This move will meet with the ap-
prevail of large number of friends
of the governor who saw in the
other method a rather high-handed
proceeding. That there will be no
dearth of candidates is foregone
conclusion. Governor Preus will be
a candidate is assured and in ad-
dition there will be many other tried
and true friends of the state in the
running. Commander Barron of
the American. Legion is being very
prominently spoken of and also
Victor Powers of Hibbing. Barron
is from Cloquet and either one OF
these two northern men would be
acceptable to this end of the state
which has been rather short e1
senator's, the majority having come
from the Twin Cities and the lower
state farming districts. Judge Oscar
Hallam and Congressman Schal
, think they would like the place and
then there are several others. Sen
ator Nelson always considered Gov
ernor Preus as his logical success
sor. The soldier vote will be &
strong factor in the election. The
primaries are called for June Is
and the election for July 16.
