Through the incessant clamor of
the granger members of the legislat-
ure and their constituents, the state
repealed its once existing law re-
quiring horse-drawn vehicles to car
ry lights at night. Today, these
same people are carrying lights as
an act of self preservation and are
yipping for the re-enactment of the
law by the next legislature. At the
same time glaring headlights should
be banned and an act made that will
bar supply depots and accessory
dealers from selling high-power
lights for. automobile use. The In
spector on the roads would also dc

Just now we can't think of any
more to lock up unless it is the fell

WAGES AND LIVING COSTS.

The American man is better off
today than ever before. Measured by
purchasing power wages are higher
than in the months of so-called
"peak" wages in 1920. The Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
reports that the wage situation re-
fleets at present the higher level
for real earnings as weighted with
what these earnings will buy than
at any time since the war, not ex-
cepting the peak of 1920. Cost of
living in July of this year, which
is the latest time when compre-
hensive figures are available, was
61.9 per cent above teh 1914 level.
This was a decline of 20.8 per cent
from the peak of high prices in
July 1920. Most noteworthy were
the increases in rents througout the
country, averaging rs per cent
higher than in 1914 and comparing
with the former peak of II per cent

Again attention is called to the
fact that the center line on the
paved highways has proven a valu-
able guard against accidents. In
the face of this report the Miner
again asks "why not maintain a
double track on graveled roads and
thus serve the same purpose as the
Center line on paved highways?'
The larger number of the accidents
are caused by the fellow who wants
to get ahead and in this operation
is met by another car going in the
opposite direction or runs off the
side of the road into the ditch. The
two-way road is an accident pre-
venter, besides, what is the object of
building a 24-foot grade when only
about six, or perhaps eight, feet
are utilized and a rut is maintained
down the center-hard to get out
of when meeting another car also
travelling in the same rut.

"NOONANISMS".
(From the Baudette Region. }

They've discovered that the aver
age size of U. S. family is 2.07.
The fraction probably stands for the
husband.
It's good to be an optimist, but
don't overdo it. Recently we saw a
man holding nail while his wife
used the hammer.
A southern Minnesota editor asks
what the girls will wear to keep
warm this winter. You tell him.
We blush too easily.
The Twin Cities showed their APP
probation of Lloyd George by tend
ering him an ovation. He is only
five feet high, but as someone has
truthfully said, they start measur-

The other day woman passed
the Region office dragging her hus-
band along like steamer trunk.
Probably overcome by the heat or
something.
The new law prohibiting advertis-

be good one, but think of the loss

not having the poles and fences

People living near Bemidji dug up
S4.20 bushel for apples that
brought the producer 45 cents a

In the long run the farmer will
find that the fellow that can help
him most is the one he sees, when
he combs his hair.
The other day Ripley, the cartoon
list, had a picture in the Pioneer
Press of John Smith, the Cass Lake
Indian, with the announcement that
he is $50 years old. When John
was alive he was suspected of tell
ing fairy fibs concerning his age,
and if they keep on counting after
he is dead he is likely to give
Methusalah run for his money.

in spring of 1921.
Since March, 1922, up to July,
1923, there has been a gradual rise
in the cost of living aggregating
AT per cent. Of this increase 1T
per cent occurred since March of
this year. Average cost of cloth
ing, increased less than l per cent
since March of this year. In March
1920, the clothing peak was 1T
per cent above the pre-war average.
Since then they have declined 80
per cent. There has, however, been
slight increase since March of this
year, averaging 8 of l per cent for
the average families clothes. The
net increase in the family clothing
bill is now 70 per cent more than
in 1914.
Comparing living costs with
wages and hours of employment, the
board finds that wages now have a
higher purchasing power than in
1920, when they were supposed to
be highest. During first half of
1928 increased pay and the higher
level of hours worked resulted in
substantially increased earnings

Civilization and Good Roads.

That civilipation owes a great
debt to the highway builders can be
understood by reference to history.
The first European highways were
those which went out from Rome,
that the Roman soldier might have
easy and quick access to the re-
hottest bounds of his great empire.
With him went law and order. Lat
er, over the highways, went the
school master and the college, the
education, the institution and its
teachers. The missionary of the
Cross used the highway, the church
spread it's doctrine over the 'high-
way, and to this day, the great
churches, schools, colleges, hospitals,
and institutions for the amelioration
of the condition of mankind, are
always on, never away from, great
highways.
1t is the highway which made the
city, not the city the highway. 1t
is the highway which made the de-
mand for the railroad, which is but
a steel highway for cars of steel.
1t is the highway over which all
freight must move sometime, the
highway over which all freight must
move sometime, the highway over
which must travel all that is good,
noble desirable in life.
Where good highways are, there
is good civilization. Where are
poor highways, are usually ignor-
ance, poverty, disease, lawlessness,
lack of culture, poor standards of
living, misery.
Investment in highways means in
vestment in civilization!
