MOTORISTS
ARE MOREA
GA UTIOUS
Drivers Show Willingness to
Cooperate, View of Club
Official.

Willingness to cooperate with any
reasonable form of traffic regula-
ton is becoming increasingly man
ifest on the part of motorists and is
reacting favorably in the interests
of highway safety, according to Todd
Stops, manager Of the Hoosier Mo-
tor Club.
In voicing his opinion Stops de-
clared that 1925. after having seen
traffic control reach a scale that
amounted to overreguIation in some
parts of the country, now is record
ing a trend toward simpliflcation Of
rules that govern the motor vehicle
flow over Americas highways.
Control Favored
Automatic control devices have
given a most adequate answer to
those who maintain that the only
way to keep traffic In order is to
place motorcycle policemen where
they can check the unruly driver.
On the whole, the increasing adop-
ton of the automatic traffic control
system has reacted very favorably

Surveys conducted in every city

In operation show virtually 100 peri
cent cooperation on the part of theA
motorist as against relatively sAH
cooperation by the pedestrian. 49,

Automobile Association, with which,
this club is affiliated, reveal that, II &

two motorists had the temerity to

Drivers Cautious
Safety sermons are having their
effect. This is noticeable In the def
mite trend toward creating higher
speed limits in great many Of the
larger centers Of the country. Mo
tor club officials everywhere have
paid particular attention to the eff
feet of this change.
Their observations reveal drivers
DO not regard the establishment of
higher limits as giving them a. right

CARELESS Of street conditions. This
is obvious to anyone who notices
the situation. 1t has been found, for

will attempt to make legal speed
when the streets are wet and slip

FEDERAL AGENTS, |
POLICE PLAN DRY
NEW YEARS EN-
Harris to Confer With Chief
JohnSon-Rumor of Shift
Denied.

City policemen and twelve Fed
eral prohibition agents will unite in
an attempt to make the Indianapolis
New Years Eve bone dry.
A r. Harris, deputy prohibition
administrator, was to confer with Po-
lice Chief Claude f. Johnson today
to that end.
Agents Assigned
The report that agents from other
States have been imported for the
drive is false, according to Harris
and Edward c. Yellowley of Chicago,
prohibition administrator for the
Thirteenth District, comprising the
States of Indiana, Illinois and Wis
consin. Yellowley made his regular
visit Wednesday. accompanied by A.
G.. Jamie, assistant.
Four agents transferred to the
Thirteenth district met Yellowley
here for assignment, the administra-
tor explained. They were from North
Carolina, Virginia and Alabama, and
two of them were assigned to Spring !
field, ILL.,, one to Wisconsin, and ond
to Chicago. The men left with Y"
lowley and his aid Wednesday MID "
Harris denied the rumor of 49,
possible transfer to Chicago, thought
by some to have been the subject
of discussion in Yellowley's visit. 1t
Is rumored in Chicago, however, that
Yellowley may be named national
dry chief to succeed Lincoln G. An

be filled
Didn't Know Plan
II don't know what the plans are"
Yellowley said. at any rate, the
subject was not discussed during my
conference here"
Yellowley outlined his recent dry
pledge procedure among Chicago
hotels, to Harris. About 1875 hotel
owners in that city have signed a
pledge, stating they will not permit
patrons to bring in liquor, in ad
dition to complying with the law in
not selling liquor.
THE program will aid consider
ably in coping with the New Years
eve liquor situation in Chicago"
YeIlowley said. "All the leading
hotel proprietors have promised the
utmost cooperation"
Harris stated that such program
in Indianapolis would show q lack
of confidence in hotel owners.~>
IT am urging them to aid the de-
partment in keeping the city dry"
he said. but with their WORD given
that they will observe the law, it
might be disastrous to ask them to
'0ut it in writing"

|STATE-AID MONEY
SENT TO SCHOOLS
Pine County's Share of Semi
Annual Apportionment is $780,
2OS.-Over Two Million Sent
Over State.

Public school treasures through
out the state will shortly be enriched
to the extent of $2,O32,634, the amount
representing the semi-annual appor-
tionment of the Current School Fund.
Checks bearing the signature of
Ray P. Chase, State Auditor, were
this week forwarded to the eighty
seven county treasures of the state,
who, in turn, will distribute the
amount noted among the public
schools of their respective districts.
Pine county's share of this semi
annual distribution. of state school
money is $2O,20S.00 and is based on
public school enrolment of 5052
listed at the close of the school year,
ending July 81 last. Pupils attending
school the required number of days
share to the extent of $500 each.
The October distribution of the
Current School Fund represents the
earnings of the State School Trust
Funds and returns from the one mill
school tax. The one other distribu-
ton from this same source is in
March of each year.
According to tabulations filed by
the various county school superintend-
ents with the State Board of Educa-
ton, the total public school enroll
ment for the year ending July 81, last
was 549,S99. This is a net gain of
3,943 pupils over the previous year
and at the same time, the average
daily attendance rose from 439,197,
or eighty per cent of the total enroll
ment, to- 445,150, or eighty-two per
cent.
In all, 50S,091 pupils, who attended
school the required number of days,
participate in the distribution, each
ance of 144.2 for the year. AS stated,
the distribution is made on a basis
of $500 per pupil, which was the
figure year ago.
Naturally the population centers
share the heaviest because of their
large enrolment. Hennepin county,
with S7,163 pupils listed, receives a
check for $34S,652; Ramsey county
with 1900 pupils receives $172,040,
and st. Louis county with 51,099
pupils receives $216,396. The small
lest check, $1,72S, was received by
Cook county. Pupils participating
numbered 432. The latest county
creation, Lake of the Woods, received
SASS, based on a pupil enrolment
of 1,122.

in last weeks American, to be with
his son, DR.. Ejvind Fenger, for few
days, the latter having had an opera
ton performed on his leg the day pre-
viously, was himself taken ill and
has since been confined at st. Mary's
hospital in Duluth. The Doctor had
bad cold before leaving Askov and
it developed, causing him to rest up
for a while. The illness is given
out as congestion of the right lung.
DIR. Fenger will be at the hospital

longer. The junior DIR. Fenger is
getting along well, although he has

population, it is of intense interest
to the country. 1t has been noticed
that there has not been much ex-
pansion in installment buying during
the past year or two. With a better
understanding of the whole situation,
it has been declared, installment buy
ing would have decidedly definite
place in trade and industry The
view is that there should be developed
better credit plan so that there
would be safeguard set up for both
the seller and the responsible buyer.
The fact remains, however, that, re-
latively, losses through credit under
installment buying have not been
large. 1t has been clearly observed
that installment buying has increased
turnover. 1t makes it possible for
people to be possessed earlier with
things they want than would be the
case otherwise.
With prosperity as one of the prin-
cipal campaign issues it is important
to note the opinion which prevails in
washington regarding the prices of
ions as expressed privately by high
Government officials who undertook
the study, show that price cuts are
not expected because it would mean
a cut in wages, lower consumption
and retarded production. The only,
thing officials think would bring
about lower prices under existing cir
| cumstances would be general pro-
cess of economies through increasing
the efficient production and distribu-
ton.
Combinations, especially in retail
lines, it has been stated, have devel-
oped an efficiency and chain stores,
as an instance, have pushed some of
the small Independent stores out of
business by degrees. The cash-and-
carry man was declared to be getting
the benefit of lower prices for ma
terial which he carried home. At
the same time, those who want this
service performed for them are will
ling to pay for it, so that" there is
less field for that class of business
which gives this service and necces-
sarily must charge for it. The be-
lief is that the situation will settle
down and become stabilized with the
small business man continuing to OPP
crate where he does fit into the pic
ture but being compelled to make his
exit where he does not do So
Regardless of whether you use a
radio or not, you may expect to read
this winter lot about the problems
of the radio and broadcasting. 1t is
currently predicted that Congress
must9act on this problem. 1t is said
that chaotic conditions already pre-
vail in the Middle West with the
broadcasting stations jumping up
their power and getting off of the
assigned wave lengths. There are
600 applications for new stations
pending before the Department of
Commerce with about 10 per cent of
these possible under conditions. The
Government is constantly saying that
the problem of the larger broadcast
ing stations becoming monopolies and
controlling the program to the detri-
ment of radio set owners Legisla-
ton covering these subjects is ex-
pected at the December session of
Congress.

WdSHlHSIOIl, OcIODeT IS. ExlSell-
cies of politics is bringing the coun-
try's political leaders into the midst
of the voters. The great, the near
great, and the small fry among the
politicians are stumping the country
in the interests of their respective
parties as the election approaches.
AS consequence official Washington
has been temporarily depopulated.
Even the members of the Presidents
official family" are on the high road
as orators Political strategy is
bringing them from their offices as
administrators of great government
departments and into the field of
special pleaders for party supremacy.
The Democrats are likewise training
their "big guns" on the voting public.
While it is generally recognized
that few, if any, of the present Cab
met are noted for their oratorical
ability, campaign managers know full
well that their mere presence on a
mass meeting or rally program could
be counted upon as a drawing card
for the voters. Their visits in var
ious Congressional districts which
are closely contested by the two par
ties gives the hardpressed candidates
for office an excuse to tie up their
individual campaign with the fortunes
of the administration. These holders
of portfolios usually follow set line
of argument approved by the National
campaign managers and extol the
virtues of prosperity and trace its po-
litical connections.
For instance, Mr.. Hoover and DR..
Work, the Secretaries of Commerce
and Interior, respectively, are spec
ializing in the reclamation subjects
in the West where the issue has
broken party lines. Mr.. Hoover is
endeavoring to have Congress appro-
pirate 100000, 100000 annually over a
period of from ten to twelve years for
the organized reclamation program
He claims this will cover 81 major
projects and bring great prosperity
to the West. According to the YER
sions of various Western groups, it is
now costing the Government $65,000,-
000. 90 a year for so-called "pork-bar-
rel" appropriations made with an eye
to political effect rather than eco
nomic returns. Mr.. Hoover also talks
about Government aids to business
as part of the administrators pro-
gram. The Postmaster General cites
the achievements of the postal SER
vice and connects it with the coun-
try's prosperity. On the other hand,
the Democrats have been presenting
plausible arguments which give the
voter something to consider.
Washington is now housekeeping
in earnest, preparing for the advent
of the social season. The visit of
Queen Marie of Roumania with the
Incidental official entertainments,
will advance the \social season here
by several weeks. The State De-
partment Officials handling these af-
fairs where precedents and interna-
tional society prevail are very busy
arranging for dinners and other fit
ting affairs, all conducted according
to the latest rules of etiquette.

we find that the Government today is
greatly interested in problems of in

ship, six miles east of Pine City, last
Tuesday afternoon. Howard Nichols,
who rents the farm, was away attend
ing an auction in the neighborhood
and the only one on the place at the
time the fire was discovered was a
young daughter. She ran to the
neighbors upon discovering the fire
and gave the alarm. Soon the crowd
at the sale about a mile away ar
rived, but were too late to check the
fire. The loss to Mr.. Nichols is a
severe one as he had between twenty
and thirty tons of hay in the barn,
and also eighteen spring pigs which
were burned. One horse which was
tied in the barn broke loose and es-
capped, but all harnesses, tools, and
also silo adjoining the barn were
completely destroyed.
