New York on the army transport,
August 6, for his new station in
the Canal Zone, following his tour
of, duty here at Walter Reed
hospital. This incident is said to
end a lively issue precipitated by
that officers attempt to resign
from the army, following period
of absence from the United States

Vienna. This. case has been the
keynote of army conversation Tor
the past several months and Is

EDINBURG'S WORK
IN BOARD OF TRADE
Mayor Houston HI. Newman Tells of
Forward Movement Spurred BY
Big Organization-Much Done

The summer of 1924 gave birth to
the idea that some form of com
munity organization work was need
ed in Edinburg for the best interests

houses, churches, school, nice, we'll
kept homes: good streets, well
paved and lighted; excellent supply
of good, pure water; sewerage, and
many other things that towns of
the size of Edinburg could not boast
of; and, as some stated at the time,
and others might still say, What
more do we need?" But the men
who were planning for Edinburg had
the future in mind.
From the extensive advertising the
Shenandoah Valley, Inc, and the
various caverns had and are still Civ
ing our famous Shenandoah Valley,
hundreds of tourists or, we might
say, guests of our Valley" started
pouring through and as known, were
passing through the main street of
our town. We were proud of our
town, but still we wanted to see it
grow; we wanted to see it keep up
with other towns of the Valley, if
not surpass them We came to the
conclusion that if "Edinburg was
good enough to live in, it was GER
tainly good enough to work for
With this in mind, one might say,
I'VE were Off" Cards were sent to
all the men in town, notifying them
that mass-meeting would be held
in the Town Hall on the first Mon
day night in September, the purpose
of which was to organize Board of
Trade, an organization through
which the citizens of Edinburg could
work together as one, for the best

are a credit. and we assure you that
Edinburg stands back of them, and
means just it says. We extend q
hearty welcome to all.
Through the cooperation of the
Bell Telephone Co.. the Mutual Tel
ephone Co., the Valley Light & Pow
er Co.. and our Town Council, Ne
were able to paint and whitewash
every pole and tree along our streets,
which gives fine appearance and
has been commented upon very ia
vorably by the many that pass over
our streets.
The Board of Trade has done too
many things to mention at this time,
but one thing we are working on is
rest room, to be opened ON Main
Street, in the center of town by Au-
gust first.
We admit that we still need many
improvements and are working all
the time to this end, but Just now
we are turning our attention to in
dustries. Industries are our grea
need, and We have lots to offer them
T low taxes, factory sites, water pow
er, plenty Of good labor, railroad and
freight trucking facilities, coopera-
ton of our entire town. and every
thing necessary for the successful
operation of industrial plants
We make a special appeal to all
who have gone from Edinburg, to
return home and help make Home
Coming Week" a success. The idea
of having Home Coming Week"
originated in the May meeting of the
Board of Trade and, on June sixth,
invitations were mailed you, inviting
you to return home for the week of
August second to eighth. We want
you with us. 1t takes your presence
to make it a success, and we are
hoping that it might be possible for
some of you to remain with us, CIV
ing us your ideas and helping to
make Edinburg bigger and better
place to live in.

and we were ready to go.
This organization is young-not
quite a year old-with SO members
at the present time, and has done a
fine work to date, with great hopes
for the future
Our first work was to clean UP
and put our town in order, to receive
and impress the many guests that
were passing through and stopping
off with u.s. We then turned to the
mountain road, passing through what
is known as the Edinburg Gap to the
beautiful Powell's Fort Valley, where
so many of our Edinburg friends and
neighbors live This road was in
bad shape, and through the splendid
cooperation of the United States For
estry Department and our supervisor,
has now been greatly improved and
will soon be in fine condition for
motorists Our committees are now
turning their attention to the other
roads leading into Madison District
and Edinburg.

highway bulletin this week.
Orders have been issued to main
tenance superintendent in all dis
tricts, the bulletin states, that under
no circumstances will any compensa-
ton be paid for snow fence permits
The agreement provides that fences
shall be put up and removed so as
not to interfere with the use of the
land in fall or spring. Photographs
have been made in many places to
show that the accumulation of snow
along the fences advances and pro-
notes vegetation and is generally
beneficial to the land. Further, it is
explained, the opening of the roads
will directly benefit every farmer
from whom a permit is asked.
The bulletin does not indicate the
sections of the state where attempts
have been made in many places to
for permits, but does intimate that
such attitude will be considered when
road opening plans are up for final
action in the department.

Minnesota Plan Insures
Better Local Highways
Farmers on County and Town Routes
Profit Through Shift of Expense
to Users of Roads

Following publication in the Her.
aid of good roads profits this year
conservatively estimated at twice and
more times the total auto and gas
taxes, several farmers, owning auto
mobiles and using county and town
roads, inquired how they share in
gram for their car and gas taxes. The
question is answered in a highway
bulletin this week as follows:
State trunk highways are the
main, most-traveled country roads in
all parts of Minnesota. Mile for mile,
there are more sets of farm buildings
and mere mail boxes on them than
along county and town roads and
they selye larger numbers of farm
ers than the other roads. They are
country roads in every sense and even
more sc than others for they are the
most used routes to largest numbers
Of market places. Not mile of
trunk highway extends inside the
'argest cities and only small per-
centage of the 7,000-mile system is
within the small towns and villages.
State highways are being improved
and maintained entirely with federal
aid, motor vehicle taxes, and, since
May 1925, with receipts from the
2-cent gas tax. More than half of
the taxes are paid by car and truck
owners in cities and villages. Yet
the money is virtually all used on
country roads.
Before adoption of the Babcock
good roads plan, all state road aid
and about 81 out Of every SIS of
county road and bridge tax funds
was spent on these main highways.
The new plan transferred to the state
the responsibility for improvement
and maintenance of these routes at
the expense of auto and truck own
ers. Counties were left with the state
aid and all road and bridge tax money
five times as much as before-for
roads left in their charge. So it
should be plain that betterments on
local roads are being made five times
as fast and five times as big in vol
ume under the new plan.
City taxpayers began paying toward

roads plan. They seldom complain
because they drive long distances on
country roads and realize that the
tax money comes back with more in
savings on car running expenses and
that time saving and comfort afford
ed by better roads is costing nothing.
The farmer living on a town road,
if he owns an automobile or truck,
pays toward trunk highway OUTLAWS,
although he may use other roads most
of the time. Largest numbers of
farmers, like city people, pay the
minimum auto taxes-$12 this year
and $40 next year. The average tax
on all motor vehicles is less than SIG.
That is the only tax on the machine,

the personal property tax which YVES

closed, 70 swine growers in 40 coun-
ties produced ton of pork each from
single litter in $50 days. Weights
of the filters ranged from 1904 to
1880 pounds-from a ton to 2 1-8
tons.
Stearns county was represented in
the contest this year by Mike S.
Royal with a litter of II grade Durocs
which weighed 1865 pounds; and
by Benedict w. Thielen of Melrose
with a litter of 10 high grade Chest
er Whites weighing 1925 pounds.
H. G. Zavoral of University Farm,
who was in charge of the contest for
the agricultural extension service of
the University, the Minnesota Live
stock Breeders association, and the
Minnesota Swine Breeders associa-
ton, says; ....
"The 1925 contest shows that pure
bred hogs are highly developed ma
chimes to convert farm feeds into
pork. Not one scrub litter made a
ton of pork in this contest, and
grades did not do as well as pure
breds. Crossbreds showed up well.
"Pigs which are crowded for the
markets from the day they are born
usually make the cheapest gains.
Less feed is required for maintenance
and risks from disease are lessened.
On the average, pigs pushed along
for the early market usually bring
higher prices than those sold late
when markets are likely to be flood
ed.
"The lesson from the 1925 con-
test is that good breeding, good feed
ing and the right kind of manage
ment are essentials to the production
Of ton or more of pork from one

Movement of storage eggs is on
a fairly satisfactory basis although
stocks in storage are still heavier than
a year ago.
Poultry arrivals last week at coun-
try plants were light, due to lower
prices that prevailed, as we'll as to
ideal weather conditions for farm
work. Indications are that the pre-
Thanksgiving movement is about
equal to year ago and paying prices
have been on a slightly higher basis
with higher market quotations pre-
vailing at both Chicago and New
York.
Information as to Thanksgiving
Market on turkeys is somewhat mixed
at this writing. In some sections,
turkeys sold well, but particularly at
New York, demand was very light
and there are a good many cases of
butchers refusing to purchase, on
account of prices prevailing. If this
situation continues during today and
Tuesday it is quite likely that prices
on late arrivals will be much lower
and il will require some effort to make
a cleanup of Thanksgiving stocks.
The amount of butter manufacture
ed by the creameries in the u. S..
last week is approximately 25 per-
cent over the same week last year. A
weak feeling has prevailed at both
Chicago and New York although
prices have been we'll sustained. To-
