WHEN A TELLER
NEEDS A FRIEND.

When a Teller starts to CROWN
Till his clothes don't fit at all
And there amt no way of KNOWN
What he's goin'~to do next Fall;
Then when everybody hands him
Don'ts and stop it's" without
And nobody understands him
Then Teller needs friend!
When Teller don't do nothing
But just hang around the Street
And a gettin' chased by coppers
Is about his only treat;
Then he's always into mischief
Into trouble without end;
But when a feller's in Scout
Troop
Then feller's got a friend.
Our big brothers in the Legion
Make an awful lot of noise
Planning lots of kinds of service
Well! Why don't they help us
boys?
If they'll help us start a Scout
Troop
Teach us bitches, knots and bends
Then the cops can take it easy
For feller'll have some friends.
And in years way down the future
When your hair is turning grey
And you don't step out so poppy
Like the way you do today;
Then the boys that you befriended
Will stand by you to the end
And in those Scouts you guided
Will you fellers have friend.

Alvin Owsley, national command


Alvin Owsley, national command
er Of the American Legion, made
several speeches in Minnesota a few
days ago. Mr.. Owsley halls from
Texas, the land of the cowboy and
the lasso, and he can lasso an idea
and rope it down quick and finished
language. He spoke to the purpose
when he said: There is no deny
ing that radicalism is in the ascend
ency. During the last year we i'm
ported more revolutionary ideas and
theories Of sovietism than in any
year of history. In that year 600
foreign language newspapers were
established and more than $4,000
600 worth of radical literature that
we know of was imported from
some foreign land. When we in
vestigate the massacre of Herrin,
the wreck of the Michigan Central,
the convention of the soviet re-
public of the United States in
Michigan, there is no doubling the
trend of events. We cannot but be
impressed by the seriousness of the
situation when we see a distinguish
ed senator of the United States
advocating before tremendous audi
ences in Chicago and Boston the
recognition of the soviet republic
OF Russia and general amnesty for
enemies Of this country imprisoned
during the war. The American Le-
gion is and will be unalterably op-
posed to both the measures pro-
posed by the eminent senator"

what Does "universityD Meant

The term universities or university
is often conceived of as an institution
where everything is taught. This is
by no means its original meaning, says
Edwin A. Alderman in the Worlds
Work. The ancient term simply meant
guild and was used of any legal
corporation. The university, in one
sense, is the original corporation" 1t
was only after many years that 1t
became, in the Fourteenth century,
limited to particular body and was
called universities magistrorum ct
scholarum. Thus it did not refer to
place at all but to a guild or body
of teachers and scholars; and when 1t
was desired 10 express the abstract
notion of a place where students from
everywhere might assemble, the phrase
stadium generate was used.

Hibbing, our hustling neighbor to
the south and west, is again in the
lime-hght regarding expenditures.
The report of the state public ex-
aminer was given to the rewspap-
ers last week and shows up rather
lurid against the sky. AS the per
capita tax agitation is again on in
the legislature and wherein it is
sought to further cripple the up
building Of the range communities
by limiting the expenditures i is
the opinion that the public exam
iner withheld the report until the
present time to furnish campaign
material. Senator Boylan of this
aistrlct now comes before the leg
islature with proposition to in
vestlgate the public examiner and
other state officers to locate the
leak and one or two other little
things not exactly to the liking of
our senator. These periodical out
breaks on the part of certain state
officials are becoming quite numer-
Gus and it always so happens that
all are directed towards the towns
on the ranges and never south of
the line dividing the north from the
south end of the state. The funny
part of the report is that it was
given to the newspapers before it
was presented to the city council
at Hibbing. Senator Boylan> is
right. Let's see where the trouble
lies.

of it is set aside to pay the inter-
est and create a sinking fund to
pay the principal on loan of
$40, 0O0, 000?N Here are the adj
vantages:
We will get more and better
roads Immediately, both gravel sur
faced and paved.
The saving of running expense
to car owners will equal the cost
of good roads, their life estimated
at twenty years. The saving of
time and general satisfaction thus
are thrown in for nothing.
Costly repairs will be avoided by
building the kind of permanent
| road that the traffic makes neces-
sary, whether paved or gravel sur
faced.
County road taxes will be re.
duced more than they We're last
year-the reduction was $l,288, 900
in 1922-as the state highway de-
partment is better able to take care
of the 1000 miles of trunk high
way and new trunk highways may
be established.
Part of the cost of permanent
work, such as right of way, bridges
and grading, which will benefit
many later generations, will be
passed on to the motor vehicle own
ers between now and 1943.
There is no comparison between
the pay-as-you-build and the pay-as-
you-use plans in economy, public
service or state development. The
farmer will be the first beneficiary
in cheaper and quicker conmunica-
tion to the villages and market
towns and the last will be st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth, within
which not a dollar can be spent
until the 1000 miles of trunk high
way designated in the state con-
stitution have been permanently
improved.

HOW TO USE $4,000. 900.

Minnesota Legislature simply has
TO choose how it will spend the 49,
100000 state trunk highway fund
receipts for 1923, in making its de-
cision between the present method
of paying all cash for road work
and Commissioner Babcock's pro-
posal of borrowing $4,000, 900 and
more than doubling the program.
The general taxpayer won't pay
red cent for trunk highway work
either way. The motor vehicle own
er will pay it all, except probably
$500, 900 of Federal aid. He won't
pay any more, but he will get
lot more for his money Immediately
by the Babcock bond plan. The
state at large will profit greatly, if
the right way of spending the lie
ense receipts is adopted.
1t is a question of how to spend
a given sum of money.
If the Legislature chooses the
present uneconomical way. the
state of Minnesota will get some
rood roads. but il will also get
these undesirable things:
Fewer good roads for the pres
ent users and all the people whom
they serve than under the bond
plan.
Wasteful employment of money
for repairs, which could be avoided
and the money used for construc-
ton under the bond plan.
Needlessly expensive operation
cost of vehicles because of delay
in road improvement.

tail the saving in money in oper-
ating vehicle on a good road.

saving is $4,000 year on an in |

BETTER ROADS; LOWER TAXES.

1t is significant that the annual
state convention of the farm bur-
eau did not condemn Mr.. Bah
cocks state bonding policy for
good roads. Other states are spend
ing much more money for roads
than Minnesota. Wide-awake farm
ers know that good roads are good
business, and that the plan OF
bonding, provided it does not raise
taxes spreads the burden of fut-
ure road benefits over future wears.
which is as it should be.
The farm bureau stipulates that
If bonds are issued, they snail be
issued in a. form that will not in
crease taxes. This is exactly Mr..
Babcock's plan. The proposed bonds.

SANATOR|U|M BILL |S DUE IN SENATE
Mrs. H. E. Pearce Goes To Capital In Interest Of
 Measure

Mrs. H. E. Pearce. president of the Alabama Tuberculosis association. left for Montgomery Tuesday night to work in cooperation with the legislative council of Alabema women Tn the interest of a bill to come up in the senate some time this week appropriating S200. oe0 for building a tuberculosis sanatorium and $50,00O for it's maintenance. Members of the council in Montgomery are Mrs. Bre- ward Jones, Mrs. John Tilley and Mrs. Bibb Graves.
 Prospects are that the bill will pass at the present session of the legislature, says Mrs. Pearce. On ac- count of lack of funds In the state treasury during the previous session 1t was deemed wise to wait until the present session to introduce the bill. There Is no state sanatorium to- which tubercular patients from any county in Alabama can be sent Mrs, pearce said. "Only four counties In the state have camps or hospitals for patients with tuberculosis. Mobile has recently constructed the most modern sanatorium in the state. Ftowah and Montgomery counties also have hospitals for consumptives. Jefferson county will soon build a sanatorium for the tubercular pa 'aauts of Jefferson county"
 The object of the bill before the legislature Is to provide funds for the construction of a modern sana- torium where tuberculous patients from any county in the state may be sent and receive proper and efficient

 City officials say the necessary procedure will be followed and if all matters appertaining thereto are within the law, the election will be called. Members of the city commits sion have repeatedly expressed the hope that such an election be held so the people of the city might ex- press their wishes in the matter.
 Officially the commissioners are not vet in position to act on the pe- tition for the names signed to the petition must be verified as those of qualified voters before the matter can be regarded as official. L. E. Cray secretary of the commission, is charged with the matter of verifi- cation and has seven days in which to satisfy himself about the matter.

Change Artist Stings Clerks With Deiusiion
RESOURCES

There was another sort of ''city slicker" in Birmingham during the early part of the week. He has 8 little stunt of getting ten dollars easily. and this Is tho way it works
 Up to the youngest looking m ember of a store's clerical force he will walk, with a twenty dollar bank note entwined In his fingerfb He will ask that 1t be changed. The accommodating clerk turns to the cash register. gets the proper bills and extends them to the visitor who lovingly receives them, hands over ten dollar bill. Nine times out of ten the clerk will put the ten spot in the register, slam the drawer and it won't dawn on him what he has done until he starts thinking the next time he opens the register drawer and sees no sign of the twenty.
 Oh, it works, strange as it may sound, it works. The last victim was one of the young men in the Tutwiler drug store Monday, and since they have abashedly "fessed" up about being stung, others have admitted 1t.
