The Haunted Castle

HlHEtSE once HVed a pair OF twins
Il that were always wanting 10
roam. They lived on an island with
their father and mother who were
king and queen. The children often
heard curious noises in the castle,
but whenever they said anything
about it they were always put In a
prison for a fortnight and a day and
given nothing but bread and water.
Their names were Billy Betty.
Tho boy. Billy, was always sad; no
enc could ever tell why, but he was.
The girl. Betty. was very beautiful,
with hair like gold. eyes RE the sky,
skin like a clou1. c aeks Ike a
pink %carnation and always as
happy as a lark.
One day the king ordered tina a
servant should show Briy and Betty
through the castle. That may seem
strange, but o see that the castle
was so large hat the twins had been
in but a little part of 1T. Jasper.
that was the name of the servant
that was to show them through the
castle, was soon ready and they
Dtarted off.
First he too them through a long,
dark passage that the twins thought
would never end. AT the mi Of It
was a large iron door Jasper took
a key out of his pocket, unlocked 1t,
and they entered. There were nan
beautiful and wonderful things. like
statues, pictures. Jewels. gems and
many other precious things. But
what attracted Billy was a big iron
chest over in a dark corner.
When he asked Jasper what was
in it. he declared that he had never
seen it before, but that he would
open It to see what it contained. AS
they went near the chest. a scream
came from inside. then a scratching
and then a moan. Jasper. who was
a negro. and superstitious, nearly
flew out OF his wits.
But Betty. who declared that h
was not afraid. went over n raped
gently on the lid of It. and immedi-
ately a moan followed. She asked
Jasper where the key to It was. But
he said that he did not ave the
key because he had never even seen

SAVING
SUMS FOR ROADS.
COOPERATION OF STATE PRESS
CREDITED WITH BRINGING
MORE AND LOWER BIDS
ON HIGHWAY
WORK.

Newspapers of Minnesota giving
liberal space to state trunk high
way projects and plans are credited
by Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, with saving many
thousands of dollars to the state on
road construction work. Repeating
his opinion that Good Roads Amend
ment No. l was passed largely be-
cause of the newspaper educational
campaign, the commissioner said
that-the state press since has made
an invaluable contribution toward
the success of the big highway pro-
gram.
John H. Mullen, assistant COM
missioner and chief highway engin-
eer, told of large cash savings on
contract work due to the newspap-
er cooperation. Under the old or
der, he said, advertisements of con-
tracts only in contractors journals
brought an average of ten or twelve
bids from big contractors in the
large cities. Contractors in the
localities where the improvements
were to be made seldom submitted
bids.
Under the new plan, Mr. Mullen
said, local newspapers throughout
the state publish announcements of
local jobs without charge and the
result is that local contractors put
in bids. Without heavy moving
expenses to charge in aad having
other advantages they are able to
underbid the big contractors in the.
large cities, he said, and the saw
lngs resulting to the tate run into
thousands of dollars. At the last
contract letting there was an aver
age of more than forty bids on
each job.
Commissioner Babcock added that
the newspapers have contributed
also to the biggest success of the
highway program by aiding to keep
the public informed of plans and
policies. Minnesota like other
states, he added, has found publicity
essential to its highway program as
to other public enterprises as was
demonstrated in Victory Loan, Red
Cross and other campaigns during
the war.

VETERANS BUREAU MAKES
NOTEWORTHY RECORD

The u. S. Veterans Bureau has
just completed survey of the
Employment situation among the
rehabilitated vocational students
81 900 have been retrained by the
Government since the enactment by
Congress in June 1918 of the Voca-
tional Rehabilitation Act. In Dis
trict Ten, which includes the states
of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana, 1896 veter-
ans, physically or mentally incapaci-
tated to resume their former occu-
pations by reason of their war ex-
periences, have been trained into a
new line which they can follow
efficiently despite their war handi-
cap.
According to Mr.. C. D. Hibbard.
Bureau with headquarters at Mime
apolis, virtually all these 1896 "re-
habilitated" men have found en-
ployment at wages better than they
were able to earn in pre-war days.
The men are not now regarded as
disabled men" but skilled veter-
ans" by employers who have report
ed their services as satisfactory
from an efficiency standpoint.
Despite all the criticism of the
treatment accorded disabled veter-
ans of the world war by the Fed
eral Govrnment, there is very good
reason to believe that the Govern
ment, after all, has a splendid re-
cord of accomplishment as far as
the war disabled are concerned.
"The Government, Mr.. Hubbard
stated, 'has made vigorous efforts
to contact all disabled men. In
stead of an attitude of Indifference,
the Veterans Bureau has persist
emily sought out men with possible
claims and through all forms of pub
licity has urged that they take ad-
vantage of benefits provided by re-
cent legislation.
"The number Of vocational gradu-
ates in District Ten, 1896, reflects
but small part of the work done.
Thousands more are now in the
course of training along hundreds
of lines, ranging from shoe repair
er up to professional courses as
Law, Engineering, and other college
courses. irresponsible criticism can
not stand in the face of the achieve
ments Of the Government in behalf
of its war disabled charges"

HERE'S HIGHWAY
BOND PLAN
WITH REASONS.
COMMISSIONERS BABCOCK OUT
LINES PROPOSALS TO BUILD
NEEDED ROADS WITH
OUT TAXATION.
ECONOMY AND FAIRNESS OF
ENkARGING WORK NOW is
SUBMITTED-ACTIVF.
AID OF PUBLIC
INVITED.

The Miner, always giving its
readers information on subjects of
special public Importance, publishes
here a statement by Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
err, on highway bond recommends
tions to be made to the present
Legislature and giving the reasons
for them.
Mr.. Babcock discusses the main
features and, confident of the act
i've support of every good citizen
who fully understands the plan,
adds that questions on any details
will be answered promptly if sent
to the state highway department at
1916 University Avenue, st. Paul.
Incidentally, the highway pro-
posals are rapidly gaining in pop
ularity
No Tax Increase to Result.
The Commissioner has claimed
the endorsements of citizens and
civic and commercial organizations
investigating the positive assertions
That no road or auto tax in
creases will result.
That proposed bond issues, prin-
cipal and interest, will be financed
entirely with motor vehicle tax re-
ceipts under sinking fund require
ment of the state constitution.
That projected highway improve
ments are public necessities which
must be provided for within few
years either by the bond plan pre-
scented now or through increased
tax levies.
That highway construction costs
are at the lowest levels of record
back to pre-war scales of 1917
and probably lower than will pre-
vail again, according to economic
experts.
That bond funds will be used
only for improvements actually
needed now and that the largest
mileages of betterments will be of
grading and crawling as in the
past, paving to be built only where
economy demands.
That the proposal is simply to
apply ordinary business practice to
the highway program and affords
the only method of relieving the
overburdened taxpayers of today
of paying for past and future, as
well as present road improvements.
A similar proposition confront
ing well-managed private concern,
Mr.. Babcock declares, would be
adopted without hesitation.
Babcock Gives Reasons.
The commissioners statement fol-
lows:
First issues of highway bonds un-
der Good Roads Amendment No. l
are to be recommended to the Leg
islature to tighten the burden Of
public expense in these times of
high taxation. They will extend to
each year its fair share of the cost
of permanent highway improve
ments and give the present taxpay-
ers a just measure of benefits for
the funds they are furnishing.

The erection and completion of
the Bowling Memorial Home as an
addition to the State Hospital for
Crippled Children at Phalen Park,
st. Paul, will open the doors to 100
more little crippled children, now
on the waiting list, according to
Miss Elizabeth McGreggor, superin-
tendent Of the Hospital.
"The necessity for educational
work among the children while in
the Hospital is perfectly obvious"
said Miss McGregor. Crippled
bodies" she continued, ''in no man
ner mean crippled minds; in fact,
/ have found in my years with
these little unfortGnates some of
the brightest minds that ever
knew. OF the 210 children in the
Hospital one day last week, less
than 10 per cent are incapable of
study on account of physical all
ments. Training at the Bowling
Memorial will accomplish two pur-
poses-frst, that Of taking up the
minds Of the little ones, and, Of
even greater Importance, set them
definitely on the road to respectable
self-support."
The Hospital is recognized nation
ally as the last word in construction
and equipment. With a staff of 81
Twin City physicians and surgeons
contributing their skill, it is no
idle boast to say that these little
children are receiving without
charge, medical attention and care
equal to anything that the crippled
children of wealthy parents can
possibly secure. Everything that
modern science can offer to cure
their twisted, pain-racked little
bodies is at hand. To train them
so that after the tortures Of the
operating table, braces and mechan-
| ical appliances, they may face the
world capable Of earning their own
way, is the function that the Dow
ling Memorial will fulfill.
