MINNESOTA'S CANYONS
ATTRACT COMMENT

Granted that Minnesota con-
tains no mountains, the stria
ing effect of mountains comes
with her canyons. Along the
Father of Waters from the Twin
Cities southwark, naked crags
magnificently scowl. This up
per Mississippi duplicates re-
markably the scenic Hudson in
palisade and tangled foliage, in
orchard slope and quaint, stunt
ed town. But for wilder
touch of cliff and cleft, of paint
ed distance and a river dang
ling in the air, Ramsey State
Park, on the westward trail
from Minneapolis, takes the
palm. Hiking over tumbled
hills to sit with Indian ghosts
in the bleeding light of 4 dying

GREAT WASTE IN INDUSTRY IN US.
70 Per Cent Lost, Yale Pro-
 lessor Says Today

New Haven, Oct 2S R-There is waste in industry of at least 70 per cent of the potential capacity of workers, in the opinion of Prof. Hudson B. Hastings, head of the de- partment of administrative engineer ing at Sheffield Scientific school of Yale university. Prof. Hastings ad- dressed the local Lions club this noon.
 Even assuming there is no change in the present industrial equipment. materials or technique of the processes" he said. there is a waste in industry of at least 70 per cent of the potential capacity of workers. Of this total approxi- mately 20 per cent is due to irreg- ular employment and 50 per cent to methods of selecting. training and supervising the working process"
 Prof. Hastings cited numerous ex- amples of increase of workers ef- ficiency through modern personnel methods. Among the instances lUenliOutu NdS lilc Chptl lciiSc VI eh street railway which through mental and physical tests reduced the per- centage of new employees discharged because of accidents from Al to 0-6.

Bridgeport Oct. 2s. R-Hugh .Hosenthal. international secretary fer Europe of the international re- form federation. spoke yesterday at the state convention of the Wom- ems Christian Temperance Union, on the conditions of the political af- fairs in the state of Connecticut. He said that on the eve of election he had no idea how he should vote. He declared that he was torn between a sense of duty and a sense of right eousness. Duty, because when he took the oath in becoming a voter. he promised to vote at every cleo tion. and a sense of righteousness, because he knows no man. that he thinks worthy to hold office, who would not repeal the 18th amend mcnt or who Is in favor of temper ance.
 Senator Bingham is a splendid man in some respects" he said, but contrary to his assertions when he first held office, I am certain LlIdl AC 10 d6diiel pi Lo". Even Governor Trumhull would vote for repeal. The time has come to emulate the views of the great persons who sacrificed themselves that this organization and its object might by obtained.

 During the morning session May or William Behrens addressed the women and welcomed them to Bridgeport
 The resignation of Mrs. Hattie M. Newton, president, was one of the outstanding features of the conven- tion session.

LIFE ON MARS CERTAIN
Dearborn Observatory Head Says He Is Confident Some Form Of Life Exists.

Chicago, Oct. 2S LPl-A certainty that vegetable life exists on Mars from which animal life may be in- ferred, is expressed by Professor Philip Fox, head of the Dearborn observatory of Northwestern uni versity.
 Tt seems certain that vegetable life exists on Mars and where vege- table life exists, animal life is cer- tain to be-all conditions being equal" he said.
 ''The Martian animal, however, Is probably fur-bearing one, equip ped by nature to live in the wastes around the Polar snowcaps. It must be of necessity quite small to be able to migrate rapidly with the chang ing seasons.
 Tt probably would be amphibi- ous, something like our seal, enabl- ing 1t to swim along with the streams of icy water melted from the snowcaps.
 "Of course, nobody has seen evid- ences of animal life and with our present instruments there is no like lihood that our generation ever will"

COST OF SURFACINC
SILESIA-ROCKVALE
ROAD IS $4lO9.O9

The total cost Of placing gravel on
the Silesia- Rockville road under the
supervision of the county commission
ers during the months of October,
November and December is $4109.09,
or an average Of approximately
$4,000 per mile which is half of the
cost of surfacing had the work been
done by the state highway commits
sion. 1920 cubic yards of gravel were
placed seven inches deep, eighteen feet
wide and leveled. The total cost of
labor was $2,967.83. The oil and gas
consumed by crusher and trucks on an
average haul of 1.5 miles was $841.26.
Depreciation Of equipment of one per
cent per month on an investment of
$4,000 was $500, making the total of
$4,000 or 900 cents average cost
per yard.
The road from Silesia to Rockville
is about two and one-fourth miles in
length. The commissioners are very
we'll pleased with the cost which was
very reasonable and which is a re-
markable piece of work. The new
crusher which was purchased last
spring by the county was used on the
road. The travelling public has al
ready come to appreciate the improve
ment made on the road.
