Let no one deceive you regarding Fahey-
Brockman Values. Shrewd men know
that Price and Price alone would never have
built business like Fahey- Brockman s-not in
thousand years. This business is built on quail
ity-supreme clothing values for men and young
men, Enormous volume proves that. Repeat

In the second place: We hammer won

operate this business for less money Of course
you know that you pay the retailers overhead
when you buy clothes or anything else. Since
our cost of doing business is very much lower
than that of the average clothier we sell for less.

So Men Perish in Alabama Coal
Mine ExpIosion-Caus Unknown

Birmingham, Ala.-With death list
of So believed to have been definitely
determined, rescue workers were
making final efforts to remove three
bodies remaining in Overton Mine No
2, which was partly wrecked by a gas
explosion. The bodies remaining in
the mine are those of two white men
and one Negro. Of the bodies already
removed 43 are Negroes and seven
white.
Mine officials expressed the belief
that the total death list would not ex-
coed So, as they estimated that all
bodies except three had been re-
covered. The explosion was one Of
the worst of the IT large ones which
since 112 lives were taken in the Vir-
ginia mine disaster in 1905, have
snuffed out the lives Of TIC mine
workers in this tate.
The Overton mine is the property
of the Alabama Fuel & Iron Co., and
is considered by federal and state
mine officials one of the best equipped
in the Alabama nine field.
The cause of the blast had not
been officially determined and prob
ably never will be learned positively.
Some of the mine workers believed
it was caused by miner striking a
match, which is forbidden, or by a
windy shot.

than 5 per cent, he estimates,
came as the result of motor
vehicle competition.
From 1920 to May 1, 1925, &C
cording to Mr.. Trumbower's
study, the Interstate Commerce
commission authorized the aban-
donment of whole lines of rail
road totalling 1,609.63 miles, or a
total of 2,438.95 miles. In the
same period the commission
authorized the construction of
2,673 miles of new railroad.
''The abandoned mileage,
writes Mr.. Trumbower, lis not
confined to any particular section
of the country and in every state
except eight there were abandon
ments." Minnesota appears in
the list of states where railroads
have been abandoned with gov
eminent sanction.

He reports that the exhaustion

IL . .
At one time it was believed
that by supplying a sufficient
amount of protein and total di-
gestable nutrients, that the feed
problem of dairy cattle would
be solved. This is far from be-
ing right. Where cows are kept
for milk it is not only necessary
to feed a rich protein ration, the
feed must also be rich in min
erals, because milk is rich in min
erals and this must be supplied
either from the cows body or
from her feed. A COW may yield
a moderate amount of milk
even though she does no t
get sufficient mineral in
her ration. This is because
the necessary mineral is taken
from her body. This takes away
all her reserve and more besides
from her bones, blood and other
tissues SO that the year following
her yield is below normal, due
to a lack of it in the body.
A number of minerals are
needed by the body, among
which are calcium, phosphorus,
sodium, sulphur, magnesium, pot
assium, iron and iodine. These
are found in all tissues of the
body. The bones are composed
of calcium and PHOSPHORUS.
The control of all muscles is ac-
complished through the action of
these minerals. A curious fact,
found by experiments wit h
animals, is that, if an ami
NAL is fed a ration sup
plying an abundance of other
food material, but no mineral
matter, it will die quicker than
if given no food at all.
With dairy cattle the critical
period is during growth and
when secreting milk. The min
eral elements of which there is
danger of deficiency are calcium
and PHOSPHORUS. Three-fourths
of the ash of the animals body
is calcium, the greater part of
the mineral matter in milk is al
so composed of calcium; it is
this element that is most often
lacking in the ration. The dairy
Ccow uses more calcium in com
parison with other animals be-
cause she produces milk which
is rich in calcium. This calcium
may vary between some cows or
some milk, it can't vary or
be influenced by the content of
calcium in her feed. When the
feed ration lacks minerals the
cow must make up for it by TAX
ing minerals from her body.
A COW has been known to give
off twenty-five per cent of the
calcium in her body.
Cattle get most of their cal
cium from the roughages. Le-
gumes are the best source of cal

not been made and the depart
ment is simply going ahead and
doing the best it can under the
circumstances.
Completes Jobs Started.
Practically all trunk highways
that have been graded under the
new plan will be be surfaced by
the end of this year. This means
the final clearing up of county re-
endorsement bond projects. In
many instances the bond money
met only the cost Of grading
and threw on the state the bur-
den of surfacing with current
funds. Reimbursement bonds,
which had to be used within the
counties of issue, put some i'm
provements ten years ahead of
the regular order and delayed
others of greater Importance. 1t
does not follow that any county
bond money was squandered, but
it is made plain that such limit
ations should be omitted that
trunk highway funds may be put
where most needed
Free funds will enable the de-
partment to relieve congestion
and reduce maintenance exN
penses ON routes now over bur-
dened, the commissioner said, by
making possible Improvement of
paralleling routes and thus allow
ing natural flowage of traffic.
Automobile and truck owners
paying all, trunk bills and other
road users will then be better
served and the general public
will be better satisfied with re-
suits from Minnesota's new high
way program.

MINERALS

cium of all feeds used. Corn anc
cereals and their products on the
other hand are low in calcium
but have a liberal supply of phos
phorous. One hundred pounds OF
alfalfa hay contain from one to
one and one half pounds of cal.
cium, while corn contains only
Ola per cent calcium. One
pound of alfalfa supplies nearly
the same amount of calcium as
100 pounds of corn. Corn is q
good PHOSPHORUS feed as is also
wheat bran and cottonseed meal
When an animal is suffering
from lack of calcium, she will
show an abnormal appetite by
eating dirt, by chewing bones
and trees, by gnawing at boards
etc. She will do this only in ex.
IRENE cases. The best way to
tell whether she lacks minerals
is to compare the present yield
of milk with that of preceding
years, if it has decreased, other
things being equal, perhaps some
mineral will help.
If plenty of alfalfa, sweet clio.
yer or other legume hay and corn
silage are fed with some wheat
bran or cottonseed meal in the
ration, one need not concern him,
self with supplying additional
mineral, other than salt. Salt
should be given to cows daily
For a one thousand pound COW
one should feed three-fourths OF
one ounce, with an additional
one-half ounce for each twenty
pounds of milk. f."
1t is advisable to get CONNER
cial mineral compounds providing
they are not too costly, and are
composed of minerals that are
needed in the feed of dairy cows
Special steamed bone meal, poul-
try bone meal, raw bone meal fol-
feeding, spent bone black and
some ground limestone are al
good mineral preparations to feed
cows. In some cases large
amount of cheap material Of no
value to the, animal is included
in the mixture. There is no rea-
son for paying a high price for a
mixture that contains a large
amount of ground limestone and
salt. For herd of ten or twelve
cows, seven hundred pounds OF
bone meal sold under the trade
name mentioned above will be
sufficient for one year. Never
feed a bone meal whose trade
name is Steamed Bone Meal"
This trade name is applied by
most packing houses to a low
grade product used for fertilizer
Bone meal may be fed like
salt, by allowing free access to it
in the pure form, or it may be
mixed with salt at the rate. OF

GIVES HIGH LIGHTS
ON ROAD SITUATION
Commissioner BabcOck Discus
ses Briefly Some Advantages
and Handicaps Recently Affect
ing Highway Program.

If 1925 improvements on Min
nesota trunk highways compare
favorably with those of other
years under the new program in
general public estimation, it is
probably because the state high
way department has been free
this year for the first time to
use available funds for the bet
terments most needed to benefit
the largest numbers of road
users. Although motor vehicle
taxes exceed legislative estima-
ties and were supplemented by
receipts from the new gasoline
tax, there were no county reim-
bursement bond advances this
year. AS a. result, construction
funds were greatly reduced and
improvements were curtailed &C
cordingly.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, almost daily
is presenting the foregoing con-
siderations to delegations of CT
tizens from various parts of the
state urging this needed impro-
vement and that.
Majority Wants Roads.
mo promise was ever made
that the new program would ade-
quately improve the entire 1000
miles of trunk highways in three
or five years or even ten, but the
department now hopes to virtual
ly complete in ten years the pro-
gram now less than five years
old = general conditions being
favorable" Mr.. Babcock goes on.
ITO the average man, the road
he uses most is the most impor-
tant road in the world and it's i'm
provement should come ahead Of
those on all other roads-that is
only natural. But there are
other sections often times which
serve greater numbers and have
other claims to preference. Still,
there are few communities more
anxious to secure highway i'm
provements than the highway de-
partment is to build them.
Il am positive that the great
majority of Minnesota people
want good roads everywhere in
the state and are willing to pay
for them. This department has
made recommendations for fairer
financing and fastening of these
improvements betterments de-
manded by plain economy. The
proposals would neither increase
taxes nor add to the expense of
making the improvements. Yet
