the 1924 schedule, arrangements
have been made to conduct the
clinics twice week Duluth and
once a month in the range towns.
The clinics this year will be held
at 10 a. m. every Tuesday at st.

time every Saturday at st. Mary's

COUNTY CLUB WORK
IN CHARGE OF LEADER

Boys and girls club work in st.
Louis County, Mimi, received a new
stimulus when the st. Louis County
Club and the county school superin-
tendent recently decided to COM
bine their efforts to further club
work.
A new club leader, Harold Aase,
formerly agricultural agent at BIZ
wabik, has been secured to promote
club work, and will cooperate with
the county agents in the north and
south half of the county, and with
the high school agriculture instruct
ors throughout the county He will
be directly under C. H. Barnes,
county superintendent of schools.
Club work was started several
years ago in st. Louis County. In
the past it has been carried on
under the supervision of the county
school superintendent. 1t was for
merly restricted to districts over
which he had charge. Hence club
work was not active in Independent
school districts.-St. Paul Farmer.
Mr.. Aase was here Tuesday and
looked over the situation towards
organizing clubs in this vicinity. He
was very favorably impressed with
his reception in the White Iron dis
trict and feels that calf and poul-
try clubs will be organized there
and also other clubs among the boys
and girls in both the White Iron and
Ely districts. He also stated that
DR.. j. E. Thompson would be asked
to act as local leader.

BETTER ROADS
GUT Of MILLIONS.
SPEEDING OF HIGHWAY I'M
PROVEMENTS WILL EFFECT
BIG REDUCTIONS.

Minnesota automobile owners and
the general public can make net
savings totaling upwards of Sl5,-
100000 every year-without tax In
creases-by adequately improving
the state trunk highway system, ac-
cording to figures made public to-
day by Charles NJ. Babcoek, state
highway commissioner.
The assertion is based on relative
costs of motor vehicle transporta-
ton on various kinds of highways,
as disclosed by actual experience
and practical tests in this and otner
states, the highway bulletin ex-
plains. 1t is supported by detailed
figures held so plain that the aver
age road user can compute to MS
satisfaction the overall cost OF run
ming his machine on the roads ne
travels.
Highway transportation cost is
the combination of vehicle and road
COSTS" says the bulletin. IN
ADEQUATE roads mean higher vehicle
expenses; adequate roads rapidly
reduce the vehicle OUTLAWS, making
big net savings for the vehicle own
er.
This conclusion is borne out by
accompanying figures which VIII
stand closest scrutiny. by car own
ers as to car costs and by highway
engineers as to road items. Held
among the most important given out
in connection with Good Roads for
Minnesota, they are offered for the
careful study of all highway users
and other taxpayers"
The figures, the bulletin states,
are submitted to prove that
Good roads yield tremendous pro-
fits-as high as 1000 per cent a
yeag permanent improvements re-
turning as much as SO for 81.
Highway betterments today offer
an unparalleled investment for pub
lie money.
Average motor vehicle owners
would be less money out of pocket
each year if auto taxes were
materially increased.
All ''taxes" are not paid at court
houses, the mud tax" or levy taken
by inadequate roads being not
able exception.
Showings that plain economy de-
mands crawling of roads serving
averages of more than 100 vehicles
a day and paving where the num-
Der exceeds 500 vehicles daily, with
the resulting reductions in trans
portation costs, are outstanding
features of the highway department
showing. Here are the figures:

The items on 834 vehicles daily
are given because that is the aver
age on the Minnesota trunk highway
system. The average of only $50
days a year as used indicates con-
:servatism.
Vehicle costs in the foregoing
table are averaged as follows: Dirt
roads at II " cents per mile; gravel
roads at 81 cents per mile and
pavement at cents per mile.
These cover all items, including
car depreciation and repairs, gas,
oil and tires. They are the gen.
orally accepted rates and proved
averages here.
The yearly highway costs per mile
are figured on a 20-year term, that
being the minimum life of paving

Annual Cost, S 455 S 867 S 1851
The annual costs on the three
kinds of roads, it will be seen, are
simply the sum of the annual sink
ing fund allowance necessary to
cover the investment or capital out
lay, plus the interest item and the
annual maintenance expense.
The transportation costs in the
first schedule are computed on the
foregoing vehicle and road costs,
the only varying item being that of
maintenance which runs up as traffic
increases.
These tables, the bulletin sug-
gests, afford data on which to figure
the public service cost of transporta-
ton on any highway, given only the
number of vehicles using it daily.
The highway department, it adds,
invites inquiries as to any phase of
the showing that ga good road more
than pays for ITSELF.
