LEGION TO MEET in
ST.CLOUD NEXT WEEK
PLANS FOR BIGGEST CONVEN.
TON IN HISTORY OF MIN
4 NESOTA DEPARTMENT
AN ELABORATE PROGRAM
MOMEN'S AUXILIARY HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING AT SAME
TIME ALSO

s'The biggest and best department
convention in the history Of Mime
sofa Legiondom."
That is the way the Legionaires
throughout the state are accepting
the plans made by the Wallace s..
Chute post of St. Cloud for the en-
tertainment of the thousands of Wis
itors who will throng this city August
4, 5, and 6, when the Minnesota de-
partment convention convenes, says
the St. Cloud Times.
A Survey" of convention pros
poets, State Commander Ludwig Roe
declares, is very encouraging. He
has received recent reports from
many posts and district, and all indi-
cate large attendance at the Sixth
annual gathering. The state depart
ment officials estimate that from
1000 to $4,000 Legionaires will at
tend during the course of the three
days.
And while eyes are turned to the
American Legion, one must not for
get the fact that the American Legion
Auxiliary will be in convention at
the same time, and that as much i'm
portance is given that convention at
state headquarters as is given the Lee
gion itself.
The two organizations will convene
simultaneously, the Legion at the st.
Cloud armory and the Auxiliary at
the Technical high school auditorium.
To officially start the convention,
Commander Roe has called a meeting
of the state executive committee to
be held in St. Cloud on Sunday after
noon August 3, at three o'clock.
Many Legionaires will wend their
way toward this city on Sunday, and
the people of st. Cloud will note that
a real convention is at hand by the
throng that will already have been
registered on Sunday evening.
Hundreds are planning to be here
for the evening reception of National
Commander J. R. Quinn, who will ar
rive via the Great Northern at 1880
o'clock. There will be a parade from
the depot to the Breen Hotel where
an informal "talk fest" with the
skipper will follow.
Posts. from various sections of the
state are planning auto caravans to
st. Cloud, despite the fact that the
railroads have granted reduced rates.
Many large delegations have written
for information regarding camping
plots, and st. Clouds tourist park is
apt to be we'll dotted with campers
during the sojourn of the one-time
soldiers in the city.
Montevideo, the cold home town"
of 'tLud" Roe is organizing "rube"
band for particular entertainment
purposes. Such organizations al
ways contribute lot of fun to a
gathering of any kind, and the efforts
of the Montevideo Legionaires will
be appreciated by the St. Cloud con-
vention committee.
There will be still third conven-
ton in that time. ola Societes DIES 40
Hommes at Chevaux" the club of
the $40 to 8" will meet on Tuesday.
There will be dinner at the Breen
grill at noon and an invitation meet
ing Tuesday night at 9 o'clock, after
the convention parade.

Highways Are Being Built
AS Far AS Funds Allow
Commissioner Babcock Answers In
quiries About Policy Governing
Highway Improvements Order

Some sections of the Minnesota
advance of others carrying heavier
traffic. Nearly all the paved mileage
has been built with county reimburse
ment bond funds which, under the
law, can be used only on routes
within the counties issuing the bonds
Charles M. Babcock state highway
commissioner, this week made the
foregoing answer to numerous recent
Inquiries, the majority, perhaps, as to
why the pavement T. H. No. n
north from Little Falls is not ex-
tended to Brainerd. That section has
been in comparatively poor condition.
fdue to heavy traffic. Striving to
provide the best possible with avail
able funds and under the existing
laws, however, the department has
established a new temporary route
that is much better than the old.
"Only four state paving projects
have been undertaken and they are
connecting links on heavy Travelled
routs: Westcott- Mortified on T. H
i No. 1, Big Lake-St. Cloud on T. H E.
No. 8, and two on T. H. No. 10, a
short section west from Minneapolis
and mile through Willmar. All
other paving has been financed with
county reimbursement bonds which
under the law must be spent within
the counties issuing the bonds. The
last legislature authorized more than
100000 additional county reim-
bursement bonds, it will be recalled,
but they do not permit some of the
most needed improvements. State
highway bonds would have worked
greater satisfaction to the majority
of highway users and with more eco
nomy. While no pavement has been
built where gravel surfacing is more
economical, the county reimburse
ment bond authorizations have not
always operated according to needs,
the traffic and other conditions con-
sidered.
"The state department regrets the
situation is beyond its control and
automobile owners paying the only
direct taxes for trunk highway pur-
poses. The department would Prefer
and has recommended the fairer, bet
ter way offering greatest benefits to
the largest numbers"
Mr.. Babcock's latest statement is
in line with that he made on inaugu-
ration of the new plan to the effect
that the policy would be first to pat
in passable condition and effective
mainetnance the whole 1000 miles
Of trunk routes and then ext sni I'M
lprovements as actual, relative needs,
traffic and other conditions consid-
cred would demand. He said furth-
er that specific inquiries about this
and any other phases of the highway
plan addressed to the highway depart
ment at St. Paul will receive prompt
Iattention.

Taking 10 Mile Drive-Score
Fourteen to Two

Last Sunday the Little Sank base
ball team drove 10 miles to Detroit
where they met the Staples team at
railroad picnic. The Little Sank
boys left home at 1890 A. M. Sun
day and hustled into their uniforms
as quickly as possible. The game
was started at 4 100 P. M. They had
figured that the game would be called
off because of the rain, otherwise
they would have started their journey
at 500 o'clock.
The game was very EVENLY con-
tested until the seventh when a large
COB of base hits sent nine runners
over the plate for Staples who won
the game by 14-3 score, the worst
defeat Little Sank has suffered this
season. The game was called at the
end Of the eighth inning on account
of the Sunday 600 o'clock law.
The following is tabulated score /:
