THE TOURIST TRADE

Much has been written about
the value of the tourist trade and
that Minnesota should cater more
TO the tourists. True, they spend
some money while here which we
might as well have as some other
state and especially in view of
the fact that there are many
natural beauty spots TO visit here
Columns have been written about
building good roads and doing
more paving so that tourists
might come this way. but the
first consideration should be our
own settlers in the way Of roads.
Paving of course is necessary
where the graveled road cannot
hold up under the strain of great
traffic, but by the way, is it not
monotonous to drive for miles
on pavement? II is too much the
same and the path is narrow
which requires more careful
watching on the part of the
driver Five or ten miles of that
seems greatly sufficient. Then
think of driving 100 to 200 miles
on pavement!
But the subject was tourists.
IL is nice to have visitors and
many of them. However, the
benefits derived therefrom are
likely overestimated.
The Anoka Union gives its
version on the subject which is
likely a little too far to the OPP
posite view, in the following
words.
"A million tourists will come to
Minnesota this year. So say the
statisticians. The highway de-
partment is enthusiastic for they
will pay into the highway funds
at rate of two cents a gallon.
And the st, Cloud Journal-Press
exults over the $40 each they will
leave behind. A million tourists
are coming to Minnesota this
year. They will strew the shores
of our fair lakes with banana
Feelings and tin cans, bedeck our
roadsides with paper plates and
tin cans, and obstruct our streams
with old tires and tin cans. They
will girdle our birches, lop off
our pines, and tear down our
wild grapevines. They will carve
their initials in our cliffs, and
and scribble their names wher-
ever they can find a wall with
room enough for signature.
And in all this they will be as
sisted by a horde of our own
Minnesotans who know enough to
visit our scenes of beauty with
out knowing enough to preserve
them. A million tourists are
coming to Minnesota this sum-
mer. Heaven help Minnesota"

Signs OF Progress.

Often times we are too quick to
condemn the conditions as they
are today, thinking of the oft
repeated personal liberty and
forgetting how conditions were
some years back. Men of mature
years will remember the old days.
Frank Day in his Fairmont Senti-
mel brings out that there are
signs of progress in the follow
ing: I'VE remember the time,
not so long ago, when hundreds
of men would come to Fairmont
on the Fourth of July and guzzle
booze till they were half crazy,
terrifying sweet wives with little
children to care for. Betcherlife!
The world is getting better"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-07-16
The new state traffic law which

The new state traffic law which
went into effect July 1st and
which is likely not known to all
automobile drivers provides that
there is to be no parking on any
paved highway outside of the
cities, a thing which is well to
keep in mind. The speed limit in
congested city districts which
was formerly 10 miles an hour,
in residential districts Is miles an
hour and in country districts 25
miles an hour, has been changed
so that motorists are now per-
mitted to whisk their speed
ometer up to Is, 20 and 35 miles
an hour respectively. However,
don't forget that safety is still
first.

WHAT MAKES FOR PERSONAL

Dear Miss Flo: Perhaps to you my
problem will seem like the silly trou
bles of bashful girl. To me, though
it is the greatest trouble in the world
l am nineteen years old-and practi-
cally without friends. meet many
people, but for some reason l can have
no gift for conversation, and when
am in a crowd, am stricken dumb.
have been told that it is only self-con
seriousness. If this is so, how can /
overcome it? How can / open an in
teresting conversation? am so lonely
and crave companionship Madge
What is the meaning OF self-con
seriousness, Madge? Is it that you are
so conscious of yourself that you can't
be conscious of other things: so con-
sciOus that you make Il wall around
Yourself and leave yourself hungry and
acne and desperate No. Madge,
dent think yours a little trouble. Your
problem is one in which we are all in
Is ,ested We al know tho lorlincss,
sLyress and huhghr for power and
1 Ialm. We all want folks to like us
ard depend upol us. We all want rnw-
?. O. er their sp .rts and the only way
The So things aro to had is to break
down that wall
In all those lonely hours have you
ever stopped to study out why some
girls and boys are so popular? 1t ism t
because they are good looking, be-
cause some of the prettiest girls are
unpopular and some of the homeliest
have many friends. 1t isn't because
they are clever and witty, because the
very witty people are often detested
for their very brilliancy. 1t isn't be-
cause of their fine clothes, because
many a shabby boy or girl leads the
crowd. It's just knack they have of
making life seem brighter and more
colorful for others that make them pop
ular. Human nature is self, Madge. 1t
wants amusement, inspiration, or com
fort, so it seeks out the people who
can give it those things.
Study the popular people and you
will find that this is true. They are
sought for something they have ia
give-sometimes it is just sympathetic
sometimes it is spirit that
stirs their own blood and makes life
seem more of a lark.
When you cannot offer people any.
thing, you drive them away from you
Give people your attention. They want
you 10 think about them. And If you
are filling your mind with thoughts
of yourself you can't be filling your
mind with thoughts of others.
Human ingenuity has never been
able to invent canned" talk that has
any pep to it, The real thing must be
spontaneous and must spring from the

course, the gift of CAB is talent thai

born with it. But those who lack this
talent need not mourn in dumb despair
Begin to think of life as a silvel

would like to have said to you. You

Dear Miss Flo: When young lady
is invited to party, is it permissible
for her to ask the hostess if she may
bring friend with her-a lady or
gentleman-whom the hostess does
not know? (2) Are invitations ever
asked for persons whom the hostess
already knows? LIN.
1t Isl always permissible to ask a
hostess if you may bring" a male
friend who is a stranger to her, be,
cause men who dance are always
scarce, and hostesses are always glad
to have an extra one. However, in
the case of young girl-or older
people-it is rather difficult, as you
place the hostess in a rather embar-
RAISING position. She has no way of
refusing without being rude, SO she
must give permission, even though
she usually feels that she has about
as many extra girls as she can well
take care of. OF course, if the lady is
to be taken care of by the lady re-
questing the invitation, the hostess
cannot we'll refuse Invitations should
never be requested for older folks un-
less they are distinguished strangers
and unquestionably suitable. (2) In
vitations are never asked for persons
whom the hostess already knows. 1t
| is proper, of course, to remind the
| hostess, if she is an intimatef riend,
of another intimate friend, whom she
has overlooked If the oversight was
intentional, nothing need be said. If
it was not intentional, the hostess will
be very glad to send the invitation.
