the nation. It has right to rejoice
in the record it has made. And more
than all, it may rejoice that it finds
itself today animated by the same
desire for service as gave it birth.
Born of service in the greatest
war of all time, the Legion in the
very act Of organization consecrated
itself to continuation of unselfish
service. And it has kept the faith
1t remains for us in the years which
are to come to continue to keep the
faith-with ourselves, with humanity,
with the country which gave us
birth, with our comrades who died,
with those who were torn and shat
tered in mind and body, with the
children who mourn a father dead in
battle. 49,.
eve must, we viii, keep that faith
as we have kept it. We will go on in
service to the utmost of our power.
We are now setting forth on a great
undertaking for the disabled and the
orphan. In the campaign for S.
100000 endowment for rehabilitation
and child welfare we have an oppor-
tunity for service unrivaled in our
history. I know that we will rise to
that opportunity. I know that the
spirit of the New Year will animate
us as we go forward to that task. 1t
is the greatest opportunity for unself-
ish service the Legion ever has had.
We must carry on. God speed you
all in 1926"

Ask State Lawmakers to
Use Their Best Judgment
Citizens May Best Trust Legislators
to Vote Honest Convictions, State
Bulletin Suggests

A widely published newspaper par
agraph advising citizens to instruct
members of the legislature in how to
vote on various proposals brings a
suggestion in highway bulletin this
week that better way is to- trust
senators and representatives to exer-
else their best judgment. The legis-
lator is in better position to gather
and weigh all facts, it adds, and
should be uninfuenced by the pre-
JUDGED or uniformed.
The bulletin publishes in support
OF the suggestion this story of an
actual occurance:
A representative from a south
state county visited the highway de-
partment on official business about
two years ago. Expressing apprecia-
ton of the courteous treatment ex-
tended, he said he felt called upon to
announce that many of his constitu
ents had requested him to vote
against any and all bonds. He as
sumed that included any highway
bonds, he said.
The good roads bond proposal
was explained in detail to the mem
Der. He asked many questions, but
left the highway office without COM
hitting himself.
Returning some two weeks later,
The member announced that not only
would he vote for the highway bond
but wanted to know how he
could help. He had gone back to his
district, he said and explained the
plan at several school house and
,ther meetings.. His constituents adj
opted resolutions unanimously en-
lorsing the highway bond plan and
Urging him to give it every support.
"Going further, they told me to
my best judgment in every
Instance because I am able to find
,ut about all these matters better
han they are, so there will be no
more after campaign meetings at the
chool houses this year, at least" said
he representative.

Memory Forests" Urged

T. y. Anderson, state silvicultruist
and a member of Post 8, St. Paul
wishes to launch movement that will
lead to the establishment of a number
OF memory forests" in q. Minnesota.
He says that such forests, utilized
for the pleasure and financial benefit
of the community, could well be dedi-
Gated to men who lost their lives in
the World War. He believes that Le-
gionaires and Auxiliary members
might we'll devote some of their en-
ergies to advocating that public
spirited citizens donate acreage for
the purpose.
GIN short time a nation consist
ing of few million people has con-
sumed nearly a continent of timber"
he points out. Climber shortage is
inevitable and is being felt even at
the present throughout the middle
west. From the south and west coast
our annual freight bill now is about
twelve million dollars a year; on
every 1000 board feet we pay
freight of $1S. This is more than
timber used to cost us only short
time ago.

WHY MINNESOTA LOOKS CHEAP

Inc SCdCe OIL MISSOURI, WHERE peo
pie have to be shown, you know, has
voted for a fifteen million dollar bond
issue every year for period OF
years to build and maintain high.
ways. The State of Illinois has auth,
orized the expenditure of one hun
dred million dollars for road building,
and Iowa purposes to gain eighty
five million dollars in the same way
and for the same purpose.
Meanwhile ".-.. ...-..
Minnesota, richer and almost big
ger than the three states combined,
refuses to bond for twenty million
dollars to be used for highway con-
struction-or at least did refuse, and
the same opposition is girding up its
loins for another determined stand
against bond issue at the coming
session of the state legislature.
Makes us look cheap, doesn't it?
Missouri, Illinois and Iowa, along
with every other state except Min
nesota, recognizes the value of good
highways and plenty of them. They
know that good roads are the touch.
stone of prosperity and progress in
these advanced times, and they do
not hesitate to reach into the future
for the means of providing for the
necessity. is
1t is good business foresight,
Minnesota has inaugurated a, plan
of highway construction, under di-
rection of Highway Commissioner
Babcock, a man who knows about
worth knowing Of high
way building, but the plan is being
hampered by men who do not seem to
fully realize what the carrying on
of the proposed program will mean to
the wealth and advancement of the
state. y
To be fully abreast of the times
we must open up our country places
with highways, and such opening will
be rapidly followed by settlement and
development. Minnesota has vast
areas of valuable land that is only
awaiting the construction Of suitable
to make them producing

but it is a mighty poor

A BUDGET FOR TIME

Many housewives have found it
economical to budget not only their
household expenses, but also their
time. Of course it is impossible to
determine beforehand just how many
minutes must be spent on this or
that task, but after some experience
it can be estimated with a fair degree
of accuracy. Laying out the morn
ing Or afternoon, or both, with a GER
tain schedule of things to do has
helped more than one housewife to
accomplish her round of duties with
minimum of lost effort and worry
about what ought to "come next"
On the other hand, no one should be-,
come a slave to a system just because
there is a system. The system should
be made to serve it's creator, and not
vice versa, as is sometimes the case. 4
