every good roads do,.ar actually
goes into good roads.
$50 Minnesota has come out of
the mud. Tourists going to Min
nesota lake regions and across the
state, praise the road system. Min
nesota folks certainly ride in
autos. 1t is estimated that this
year autos of the state will cover
5000, 100000 miles, about IL
times as far as they will travel on
railroads. The construction in
1926 provided for 189 miles of
new paving, grading 500 miles,
gravelling SGT miles and putting
in Sc new bridges. There are now
1928 miles of paved roads and 5,635
miles which are graded and gray
elled. All trunk highways were
kept open last winter and will be
this winter. There has been a
great increase i'm snow fence con-
struction and snow blowing equip
ment. The maintenance costs per
mile year on the gravelled roads
ran in 1925 from 1885 to $1,019,
depending on the traffic. The
maintenance costs on pavement
ran from $3.50 to $500 per mile,
mostly for the repair of shoulder"

American Legion

Little Falls Veteran In Command
of Los Angeles Comrades
1t was Harrison Fuller of st.
Paul who launched the Legion in
Minnesota and became its first
state commander. 1t was Archie
H. Vernon, Little Falls attorney,
who took the hurried structure
erected in that first year, and as
second department commander,
placed it upon such solid founda-
ton that today no department
ranks higher in Legion activities.
But just as the intervening years
have brought to Minnesota sterling
Legionaires from other states, so
too they took from her these first
two leaders, Fuller to Florida, Yer
hon to California, the former as
publisher of the Fit. Meyer TT op-
ical News, the latter as counsel for
the Automobile Club of Southern
California. 1t was while attending
the San Francisco Legion corven-
ton as Minnesota delegate that
Vernon was offered and &C .cpted
this position.
From the California state Le-
gion paper we learn that Archie
Vernon is greatly esteemed in his
new homeland, has been elected

Keeping Roads Open in
Winter Brings Big Returns
Economic Benefit Ten Times Cost
of Snow Removal, Says Recent
A. A. A. Statement

Every 500 spent for snow re-
moNal is worth $1,000 in more eff
ficient transportation and business
continuity, says statement is
sued by the American Automobile
Association. On this basis, if the
thirty-six states in the snow belt
would keep their main roads free
of snow, it would mean a saving of
more than $1O0,000,000.
There are more than 800, 900
miles of surfaced roads in these
So states. Last year $4,000 miles
were kept open at a cost of 3d.
575,663. This year about .116, 900
miles are being kept open. The
cost this year is estimated at ST.
100000 and the economic benefit
at s40,000,000.
"Snow removal will pay for it
self alone in the preservation of
the streets and highways" says the
statement. Everything aside from
that is velvet. With the increas-
ing Importance of highway trans
portation, snow removal should be
made as much definite part of
state, county and city road depart
ments as road maintenance and re-
pair are in the spring, summer and
fall seasons. )"
This is the second winter an at
tempt is being made to keep the
entire trunk highway system in
Minnesota open. Last winter the
expenditure for snow fence was
$128,896 and for snow removal
$168,096. During the winter of
1924-25, the State Highway de-
partment spent $48,316 for snow
removal and $76,094 for snow
fences but no attempt was made to
keep all roads open. If the pre-
sent winter continues as it has
started, the cost of keeping the
trunk highways open may be twice
as great as last year.
The number of counties in Min
nesota keeping secondary roads
open is increasing each year. Sew
eral counties have Iut up snow
fence and bought snow removal
equipment this fall.

Christmas Wishes
When Santa Claus comes around

And stops before your door,
I hope he'll leave just everything,
That you've been wishing for.
l hope he'll never, never stop,
Til he's filled your stockings to
the top,
And make you feel just full of
joy,
At every single Christmas toy.

CHAUTAUQUA WAS
WELLPATRONIZED
Attractions Worthy of Praise
BOzeman Offered Favorable
Contract for 1927

The EllisOn-White C~hautauqua,
which opened here Thursday Of last
week, proved a very attractive series
Of offerings and was so well patron
lied that the Al guarantors will be
called upon to shoulder only a small
deficit-something less than $500
each.
The interest manifested and the
good attendance has already resulted
IN the offering by the EllisOn-White
people of a much more favorable con-
tract for next year. This will call
TUr a six-day affair with not leess
than 10 high-class attractions, and
viii Obligate the %guarantors for only
$3.50. They will not only get che
half the gate receipts, but so per cent
of the receipts above the guaranteed
sun. The offered contract represents
q concession offered BOzeman people
Eor the first time.
The guarantOrs Of this years Chau-
tauqua feel well repaid for their ef-
forts. They demonstrated that it was
possible to bring attractions well
above the ordinary to Bozeman, and
at the same time escape some Of the
grave financial troubles that have &C
companied like enterprises in past
years. Prospects for 1925 Chautau-
que are that no deficit will be in
Cured.

HAD TOO MANY
WOMEN FRIENDS,
wife DECLARES
Mrs. Maybelle McCreight Wife
of Captain w. V. McCreight,
Files Divorce Suit

Alleging that during nearly their
entire married life her husband had
had too many women friends, Mrs.
Maybelle McCreight, wife of Captain
william V. McCreight, on Tuesday
filed in district court an action for
divorce. Mrs. McCreight also de-
mands attorneys fees and $125 a
month for the support Of their two
minor children.
Captain McCreight's attentions to
other women, according to his wife's
complaint, began in San Antonio,
Texas, December 81, 1919, and have
continued for the last six years, she
asserts. The McCreights have in
that time lived successfully at Camp
Grant, Ills; Fort" Benning, Ca; Fort
Russell, WyO.; CulbertsOn, Mont, and
Bczeman. Mrs. McCreight AYERS that
the defendants propensity for the so
eiety of other women has been dem
0nstrated in each of the befOre-named
places. The captain, however, at all
times denied her accusations, she de-
e@lares, and when pressed for explana-
ticns usually retOrted with the sue
eint remark Of ~"applesauce," she
says.
The complaint sets forth that in
December, 1928, the McCreights sep
arated, but upon promises by the
captain that he would give no further
cause for complaint, martial relations
were resumed in August, 1924. Since
then his conduct has shown no i'm
prOvement, Mrs. McCreight asserts
Captain McCreight, according to the
plaintiffs complaint, will soon be
transferred o Hawaii.
