2:30. Two hours and forty-five minu-
ties are required for the scheduled trip
to Montrose.
Mr.. De Merschman said:
Il have been asked the cause of
this phenomenal growth of 100 per
cent in the number of passengers car
ried-my explanation is, education.
Increase Of the use of motor busses
for travel is just as certain as Il is
that any form of service that proves
more attractive to the public will rap
idly win patrons away from its pre-
decessor. When | say education, /
merely mean bringing the buses to
the attention of the public.
81 have been also asked what I
thought of the railroad hostility. No
doubt the railroads or state by taxa
tion, could put any one bus out of
business. However, believe the bust
ness, considered in its broad aspect, ia
entirely safe.
Nothing under the sun can under
mine the business of carrying passen-
gers by bus. The service is super
Tor, last reasonable, pleasant, con-
yenient, clean and dependable. If a
company here and there happens to be
hurt by local conditions that is merely
thing that takes place continually in
every line of business. Possibly there
is no one business in the country that
has had so rapid a percentage of
growth in the last year or two as that
of bus transportation of passengers.
Credit is also due the men who
drive the White Buses, for they are
careful, courteous, and agreeable. The
mechanics are also entitled to credit
for in the 10000 miles that the cars
have travelled last year, they were
only delayed one time on the road due
to mechanical trouble, and then only
for one and one-half hours. Grand

Hshed by Max R: HI. Treu Of Red

both with the farmers into whose
hands they are placed and the bank
ers who are distributing them. Since
starting this work a few weeks ago
Mr.. Treu and his staff of statesmen
have sold fourteen thousand books
and the orders are constantly coming
in. One bank in county adjacent
to Redwood County has reordered
three times, finding that the first es-
innate of the number of books their
clientele could use had been greatly
under the number required. Last
week Mr.. Treu received letter from
a banker in town which has not yet
been visited, asking that he come
there Immediately as the banker was
interested in placing a large order
with him. Banks are ordering any,
where from one hundred to six or
eight hundred of the booklets at a
time and delivery is made from the
Gazette office with all the speed COM
patible with the high grade of work
which Mr. Treu demands. The little
booklet contains wealth of informa-
tion for stock raisers and farmers
and the banks recognize their value.

Dance Bill Upheld

Township boards have the right to
regulate dance halls, the state SUI
preme court decided Friday in a case
from Nicollet county.
Joseph Hoffman held barn dance
in Ridgely township in September,
1922. He refused to get a license
from the town board.
He was fined $50, but appealed.
The supreme court held that although
the license fee asked, $50, was high,
the board was within its authority.
The decision settles the doubt that
has existed in many parts of the.
state following a decision that dances
should be regulated by the local au-
thorities.-Granite Falls Tribune.
