Lists Of Highway Funds
Received and Expended
Where Trunk Highway Money Comes
From and How 1t Is Used, Dis
Closed in Bulletin

Minnesota trunk highway receipts
totaled $4,319,O44. ga and expendi-
lures of $1,554,847.74 during the
first three months this year. The Of
fetal figures are from highway bull
lletin this week. The policy of put
ting the road funds on the roads as
fast as possible continues, it adds,
but demands always are heaviest dur
ing the summer when both construc-
ton and maintenance work is in full
swing on the big 1000 mile system
covering all Minnesota.
The Herald publishes the summary
from the quarterly statement in the
bulletin for the information of the
farmers, auto owners and others in
terested in highway progress nowa-
days:
Motor vehicle tax receipts of $2,-
IT'S, 8,241.47 up to April /, made up
the largest single credit to the fund.
Next in order were $735, ,747.16 of
federal aid; the $19,918.61 carried
over from 1923; $170,754.41 of
bond money, and $16,383 of miscel-
laneous receipts.
Payments of $842,889.01 on con-
tracts for highway improvements
headed the disbursements. Those of
$109,657.32 on purchases of right
of-way which will be used as long as
the roads, was next in the permanent
improvement class. A cash allow
ance of 1881, 1879 was actually
paid into the trunk highway sinking
fund. Wage, salary and expense ac-
count items Of $135, 1926. 55 included
a large part of the general admins
tration expense of $34,248.3 SO for
the 3-months period. Materials and
supplies at $67,162.86, the bulk
spent largely for gravel, sand, lum-
Der and so forth, $1,000. Sc for
equipment, and $8,614.85 of reim-
bursements to counties made up the
remainder of the total expenditure.
|, If the figures sound big, the bull
letin suggests, remember that only
half as much is provided for trunk
routes as for local roads, although
the trunks carry four out of FIVE
highway vehicles and car travelling
200 miles a day could not cover the
system in month. The figures are
in line with with those in the annual
report of Charles M. Babcock, state
commissioner, copies Of
which will be mailed free to citizens
asking the state highway department,
st. Paul, for them.

impulse, Of individual genius; and for
this reason It bears q lesson, q charm,
or sanction to all-even those least
sversed In Its rules and least alive to
it's special trfumpha Sir Walter Scott
; was no Z amateur, yeE fhrongh his
3 reverence for ancestry and his. local
attachments, portraiture and architec-
'ture had for him q romantic interest.
Sydney Smith was impatient Of gal
leries when he could talk with men
and women, and made a practical joke
Of buying pictures; yet Newton and
Leslie ELECTED his best humor. Tai.
fourd cared little and knew less Of the
treasures OF the Louvre, but fingered
there because 1t had been his friend
Hazlitt's Elysium. Indeed, there are
constantly blended associations In the
history Of English authors and artists;
Reynolds IL identified with Johnson
and Goldsmith, Smibert with Berkeley,
Barry with Burke, Constable and
sWilkie with Sir George Beaumont
Hayden with Wordsworth, Leslie with
Irving; the painters depict their
friends Of the pen, the latter celebrate
In verse or prose the artists triumphs,
and both intermingle thought and SYM

intelligences Of diverse vocation has
resulted the choicest wit and the most
genial companionship. - Henry T.

sign on the sides OF the "Jollytown"
trolley cars in Baltimore Md, where
the traction company has set aside
several cars for the children to play
in. They are, complete Ii every de.

and pictures are displayed along the
sides. The Changing gongs and the

Young Men Have Splendid
Opportunity for Training
Camp at Fort Smelling During Month
of August Available to Those Be-
tween IL and "a

The citizens military training
camp which will be held this sum-
mer at Fort Smelling from Aug. 1st
to 30th inclusive offers splendid op-
portunity for every healthy young
man between the ages of II and "a
to spend a most profitable and pleas
ant month without expense to himstlf
or his parents. The governmtnt re-
imburses the young man for trans
portation at the rate of SC per mile
to and from camp, bears all expens-
es for food, shelter, uniforms, laun-
dry, medical and dental attendance
while at camp.
If the advantages of these summer
camps have not already been ex-
planned to you it is desired to invite
your attention to the many moral,
mental and physical benefits derived
at these camps through the careful
medical and administrative supervis-
ion, outdoor life, expert athletic
coaching and splendid recreation.
Among tn many young men who
attended the G. M. r. Camps last
year were the Presidents son and the
sons of many Senators, Representa-
ClVeS ana IOVernOrS OIL SCdCeS anu
other prominent men in a position to
realize the value of c. M. T. c. train
ing. :.
Fort Smelling is the camp designat-
ed for the boys from Minnesota,
North and South Dakota. Fort Des
Moines is the camp designated for
the boys from Iowa. If any young
man wishes to attend a camp other
than the one designated for his
state, he may do so by personally de-
fraying the added expense. This in
many cases would be very little, if
any. The young man would, of
course, proceed direct from his home
to camp selected.
Instruction will be offered this
year in Infantry, Cavalry, and Field
Artillery with demonstrations by the
Air Service and Tank Corps. In adj
dition there will be some instruction
given in the work of the Engineer
Corps and Signal Corps. Radio in
struction will be included in the Sig
nal Cops work.

MeItinu SULPHUR, =

Sulphur is often used to anchor bolts
In cement or stone floors. but as 1t
catches fire so easily when melted over
an open fame, its use is somewhat In
convenient. The difficulty can. how
ever, be avoided by first melting some
lead, and then partly immersing. the
sulphur vessel in the molten lead. The
sulphur will be melted in short time,
and there 1t will not catch fire. unless
the temperature Of the lead is allowed
to exceed 625 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To Compute Bonus

Adjusted compensation is figured
or, the basis of 81 day for home
service and $1.25 for overseas serv-
ice. The first 60 days of service can
not be counted and a maximum OF
500 days is the limit. # less than
$50 is due it is to be paid in cash.
The value of the 20-year endow-
men insurance policy to be issued to
others is arrived at by computing the
basic compensation according to the
above figures then multiplying it by
an arbitrary figure, according to the
veterans age and increasing the to-
tai so arrived at by 25 per cent.
The arbitrary figures for ages
from 20 to SO follow:

FOR HOME AND SIPS FOR
OVERSEE SERVICE

Washington, May 19.-The bonus
bill became law today.
The senate overrode President
Coolidge's veto by the two-thirds maj
ority necessary. The house overrode
it Saturday.
The vote came within half an hour
after the bill was called up by Sena-
tor Curtis, Kansas, republican whip
shortly after 2 p. m. all debate being
dispensed with.
When the bill was called up, Sena-
tor Reed of Pennsylvania, anti-bon-
us leader, asked unanimous consent
that it go over until Saturday, but
Senator Ashurst, Arizona, democrat,
bonus advocate objected and forced
the vote.
The vote was SO to 26.
< Crowds of house members thronged
into the chamber and crowded around
the walls. The galleries were filled.
Nine democrats voted with II re-
publicans to uphold the presidents
veto.
g Magnus johnson and Henrik Ship

Minnesota, voted to override the
veto.
r.
Washington, May 20.-Three gov
eminent departments today started
the prodigious task of preparations
to pay the veterans the bonus con-
gress gave them yesterday.
The War and Navy departments
began search of acres of records and
scrutiny of millions of papers, while
the Veterans bureau, which will is
sue the bonus certificates, began to
whip administrative machinery into
shape.
The War department has, by far,
the greatest task, with files of $780,
900 possible claimants to go through.
The Navy department fares more
easily with only 551,736 enlisted
men, II, $3.50 women yeomen, and 8O,-
900 marines. Of all these it is esti-
mated 3,427.866 will get some form
of bonus.
Arrangements have been made to
distribute application blanks through
the postoffices, the American Legion,
the various military headquarters,
and the various civic societies.
The War department issued the
following list of "Don'ts" to veter-
ans, which, it is said, if followed, will
speed up the work.
1. Do not write for application
blanks. They will be distri-
I huted as soon as prepared:
2. Read instructions carefully.
8. Do not pay fees other than
notary charges required In
j certain cases, .
A. Do not write the War depart
ment for information required
E on the blank, Do the best you
! can from memory.
5. Mail applications in the en-
velopes which will be distrib-
uted with the blanks.

BOY SCOUT TRAIL
By w. B. Morgan

Decoration Day will soon be with
us. Every scout should know the ma
tional anthem. Every second class
scout is required by the rules Of the
order to know this song. Every
Junior scout must know at least the
first verse.
The Star-Spangled Banner
o, say, can you see, by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thro' the perilous fight;
Ger the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that
our flag was still there!
o, say, does that star-spangled BAN
ner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in
the dread silence reposes.
What is that which the breeze, DER
4 the towering steep,
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals,
half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam Of the
mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines
on the stream
IT'S the star-spangled banner-O
long may it wave
Der the land of the free and
the home of the brave.
And where is that band who SO vaunt-
ingly swore,
Mid the havoc Of war and the bat
ties confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave
us no more?
Their blood has washed out
their foul footsteps pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling
and slave
From the terror of flight, or the
gloom of the grave
And the star-spangled banner in
triumph shall wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
eI1kil :;
o thus be it ever when freemen shall
shall stand
Between their loved homes and
foul wars desolation,
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may
the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us a nation. -.
xryn
cause it is just,
And this be our motto, ''In God is
our trust "a
And the star-spangled banner in, tri-
umph shall wave
While the land Of the free is the
home of the brave. .s..u;.
Frances Scott Key, 1914.

part in the activities on Decoration
Day. afrIta

ANTHONY LEAGUE PLEADS
FOR CONVICTED SLAYER
Asks President to Save From Gal.
lows Boy Who Killed Mrs.
Faithful in 1920.

Officials of the Anthony League.
meeting in the home of the president,
Mrs. Anna E. Hendley, in the Portner
Apartments last night, reached a de-
cision to make an appeal to President
Coolidge to save Edgar Randolph
Perrygo from the gallows. The death
penalty was imposed following his
conviction for the killing of Mrs.
Mary Faithful in 1920.
A resolution was adopted to have a
special delegation call upon the Presi-
dent to make the request to spare
Perrygo from hanging and to change
the sentence to life Imprisonment
The league will seek to obtain the
help of other organizations in this
endeavor, 1t was announced.
1t is pointed out by the league
officials that Perrygo was only II
years old when he committed the
crime, that alienists declare him in
sane and that If mercy was shown
Leopold and Loeb, because Of their
youth, that it also should be meted
to Perrygo. The personnel of the
league delegation has not been desig-
mated.
