BUYS ROAD WORK At
RECORD LOW PRICES
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT CLOS
ING CONTRACTS ON LOW
EST BIDS EVER LISTED.

Automobile and gasoline tax
funds, including share from St.
Louis county, are buying needed
highway improvements at the lowest
prices on state records, under con-
tracts being awarded this week for
SO miles of crawling, S8.4 miles of
paving and 36.5 miles of grading.
]. T. Ellison, acting commissioner
of highways, made the announce
ment and added that in an attempt
to secure more bargains of the same
kind. bids will be opened Oct. 13
on go miles of gravel surfacing to
be completed this year.
The acting commissioner and
other highway officials could not ex-
plain the new reductions in road
building costs revealed in the last
lot of bids totaling slightly more
than $1,000,000. They declared it
unfortunate that the state is with
out the necessary working capital to
provide additional and greatly need
ed road improvements at the low
prices offered. Incidentally, it was
stated that only about $6,500,000
will be actually spent on state
trunk highway construction this
year, or less than half as much as
in the average year past, because
the auto and gas taxes, although
increased, will not become available
in time.

be opened Oct. 13 in st. Paul in

Do you love your town? Ask
any man this simple question and he
will either say casually, "of course
do" or he will, with sort of
resentment, intimate that you doubt
his loyalty. But how many of us
do, truly and unequivocally and
everlastingly love the / ACE we live
in?
Love, interpreted humanity, means
service, and therefore to love ones
town means to serve ones town.
How many of us truly and with
genuine affection serve the town we
live in?
For what is service? 1t means
something more than iaere boost
ing" although the booster is a fine
asset to a community. Service
means something more than noise,
although it is well to be sturdily
vocal in behalf of what we love.
Service in the last analysis means
a fusion of the individual life with
the community life, welding of
the personal ambition into the civic
ambition; the domination of the
selfish interest by the common in
terest; the surrender of the personal
hope to the aspirations Of the whole
neighborhood.
Community service does not mean
merely the building of a business,
the enlargement of salary roll, the
creation of bank account. 1t
means the creation of larger happi-
ness for the community, and a mob
Ter sense Of loyalty, and cleaner
dedication of the personal resource
for the glory of the Town.
No man or woman represents
the true spirit of community service
unless day by day they are saying
''This is my town. love it because
it is mine. will make it worth
while because of my love for it.
will serve it nobly so that it will be
all that I want it to be. | will so
live that this Town | love will win
the praise of men for its goodsess,
its happiness, its spirit of brotherly
kindness. Therefore. my life will
count for kindness and not for hat
red; for cooperation and not for
intolerance; for joy and not for
doubt; fer Tomorrow and not for
Today alone.
No man has any right to live any,
where except in the best town on
earth. If we want our town to be
the best town on earth we must
make it so out of the contribution
we make day after day to the spirit
Of the town.
Do we love our town? The an
swer is not in hand-clapping or in
boasting, or in vainglorious parade.
The answer is in the still small
voice of loving and dedicated SER
vice.
Who loves his town? The man
who is a good neighbor, a genuine
human being, a loyal friend, and an
unselfsh servant of every cause that
needs his service.-Larry Ho in the
Hibbing News.

ELY WILL DO 1T.

interest the efforts of the citizens
of Ely to raise the capital neces-
sary to build a $225,0o0 hotel. Ely

Walk on the left side of the load.
Motor cars were thicker this summer
than ever before, on Minnesota
highways. But so were pedestrians,
especially up in the lake regions
where the short hike is growing in
popularity. Automobiles and mixers
do not mix well, says the Mime
apolis Journal. A sprinkling of
pedestrians along the road slows up
the car and puts a strain on the
drivers nerves. A procession of
honking motors keeps the pedestrian
on the jump, chokes his lungs with
dust and exaust fumes, and spoils
his hike in other ways. And fire.
quently despite reasonable care on
the part of beth driver and walker,
somebody is run over. The ex-
perienced hiker slurns the motor
highway. He strikes off across
country, or swings along the hid
den lanes. But, unfortunately,
moset of those who walk are not ex-
perienced mixers. Possibly they
fear the by-way, the thicket and the
swamp. At any rate. they stick to
the main road, with its hum of
traffic. For such folk there is a
practice that minimizes the danger
inherent in a mixing of Flooding
pedestrians and whizzing automo-
biles. Let them invariably walk on
the left side Of the road. 1t is the
safest way. The journeyer afoot
thus always faces approaching traffic.
He has a better chance to watch
and avoid motors. The driver has
better chance to sight the pedes-
trian. At night this precaution is
doubly essential, for headlight
will pick out a face, or white
shirt or waist, when the back of a
person darkly clad will be virtually
invisible.

DIR. Eckles doubts that Mr.. Ford's

constituents found in milk, he
says. "All of these are absolutely
necessary to the human diet. AS

chief foods of mankind, and there
is no reason for believing that it
will not continue to be equally i'm

News dispatches of Tuesday bring

Tuesday there were 100000 quarts

Joyous Living

From the Christian Science Monitor
The student OF the Holy Scrip
lures scarcely can fail to be deeply
impressed by evidences which in
dictate the joyous lives of the spirit
ualIy minded, of the prophets and
patriarchs, OF all in those ancient
days who lived in ri1e constant de-
sire to know and obey Gods COM
mands. The conclusion seems justi-
fled that this joyous attitude arose
from an abiding sense of God 8
ever-presence, and of His unfailing
love. for and protection OF all His
children.
None, perhaps, manifested this
quality OF joy in greater degree
than did David. The Psalms are
redolent with the joy which springs
from the assurance that all is well.
Unmistakable evidence of Gods
presence and goodness was lively
fact with the shepherd king. Isaiah
was equally certain Of Gods pres
ence and of His love.
While Christ Jesus has been
termed the man of Sorrows, there
fssNpnuch evidence in the four Cos
pels that he continually rejoiced
in a tremendous conviction of the
Fathers presence and unchanging
love for His offspring. His sOr-
rows arose over the foIlies Of a
benighted people, who were con-
tent to feed upon the husks OF
existence when they could have
come into mans true Inheritance.
It. is little wonder that at times
the tragedy of the situation moved
him to tears; bit both by his eSA
ample and in his teachings he glors-
fled God, the Father, In the joy of
his spiritual gertrude.
