was in 1921, we would be in good
shape to take care of it. But auto
mobile registration has doubled in
five years and placed burden upon
some of our trunk highways which
they are not capable of carrying.
There are few stretches Of pave
ment carrying more than 5000 We
h1cles per day that should be widened
for the accommodation of the traffic,
but as far as maintenance cost is
concerned, there is no perceptible
increase with such heavy traffic, and
the need of this widening is not so
immediate.
"Our most pressing problem is the
maintenance and Improvement of the
heavier Travelled gravel roads. In
spite of the paving we have done, the
mileage of unpaved road carrying
more than the economical limit of
500 cars per day is increasing instead
of decreasing. We had at our last
traffic census 900 miles of unpaved
road carrying more than 1000 cars
per day and $500 miles carrying from
500 to 1000 cars per day. The hard
surfacing of about 1000 miles of the
most heavily travelled trunk high
ways is particularly urgent. il, we
want to give our road users the SER
vice to which they are entitled.
For roads carrying less than 500
cars per day, gravel surface is not
only the most economical but it can
be kept in good condition in any ordi-
nary weather. With traffic from 500
to 1000 cars per day, gravel can be
kept in fair condition in favorable
weather, although it breaks down
quickly both in wet weather and in
prolonged dry spells, and the cost,
in the long run, is greater than the
| cost of pavement. But where traffic
exceeds 1000 cars per day, it is al
most impossible to keep a gravel road
in good condition at any time, even
though we double our maintenance
expenditures. We have treated about
500 miles of the most heavily travelled
| gravel roads with calcium chloride
| and bituminous binders. This re-
lieves the dust nuisance and makes
it easier to keep the surface smooth,
but the treatment is expensive and
is not permanent"
Mr.. Babcock expects to transmit
his recommendations to the Governor
and the Legislature shortly after the
first of the year.

Much Work Done in 1926
By Highway Department
Summary of Activities Given in
Bulletin.-Traffic Demands are
Doubled, Babcock Reports.

Minnesota has made good progress
in road Improvement during the year
1925, to judge by figures contained
in bulletin from the State Highway
department. Pine county has shared
in the improvement going on through
out the state, the improvements here
being the paving on Highway No. 1.
The construction division of the
State Highway department has COM
pleted the paving of 1887 miles,
crawling 56S miles. and grading 339
miles and built So bridges with to-
tai length of 3,649 feet. The expend-
itures for paving were $780, 60,
for crawling $1.O13,215, for grading
$2,212,749, for bridges $487,142, max
ing total of $S,279,266 for new con-
struction.
The receipts of the department for
the year will be about $17,000,000, of
which $9,900,000 will come from au-
tomobile license fees, $5,O00,OO0 from
the gasoline tax and $2,1O0,000 from
federal aid. Maintenance of the
trunk highways will cost about $4,-
100000, administration $150,00O, sink
ing fund County reimbursement
bonds) $2,OOO,OOO and interest on
these bonds $1,61O,OO0.
The maintenance division, besides
regular patrol maintenance on the en-
tire trunk highway system, has main
tanned during portions of the year,
511 miles of detours, applied new
gravel on EOS miles and resurfaced
1888 miles. The graveling, resurfacing,
stockpiling, and repairing required
SAL, 800 cubic yards of gravel. The
maintenance division also oiled or
tarred 200 miles, applied calcium
Chloride binder once on 1919 miles and
twice on 420 miles. All the pavement
was gone over and cracks filled once
or twice. Other maintenance oper-
ations included 755 miles of reshap-
ing, building so miles of detours,
scarifying 1913 miles, brushing and
clearing S66 miles, moving $4,000
cubic yards of dirt in cuts and fills,
$4,000 feet Of ditching, placing 1870
feet of drain tile and 1907 cubic yards
of rip rap. New guard rail built
totaled $4,000 feet. The maintenance
division also rebuilt 81 bridges, re-
paired 20 and refloored 26, and placed
S42 metal culverts, 100 concrete Gull
verts, and 35 wood culverts.
Taking the work done by the two
divisions together, the status of the
trunk highway system at the end of
the year is as follows: paved $1,000
miles; heavy gravel 4,O9S.70; light
gravel 1,04815; bituminous treated
$4,000; maintained earth 747.12. Of
the total Of 6,93S miles in the system,
1859 are now graded to standard
width of 80 feet or more.
"The trunk highway system is only
five and half years old, and at the
end of that period less than II per
cent is unsurfaced, and practically
every mile of the system has been
kept passable during the year except
during unusual weather conditions
such as we had this month";" said
Commissioner C. M. Babcock.

But in all this talk about making
a lot of money, don't lose sight of
the fact that real success may not be
involved at all. Being at the head
of a great corporation may mean sue
cess and it may not. That depends on
what man sees in his job. 1t depends
especially on two things-what the
job can do to develop him into a
greater man and how he can make
the job and the money that comes
out of it serve the greatest number
George Horace Lorimer once remark
ed: Its good to have money and the
things money can buy, but it's good
too, to check up once in while and
make sure you haven't lost the things
money can't buy"

CAN'T WAR WITHOUT CAPITAL

Nations cannot go to war UNI
less they have built up reserve
or established a credit so that
they can borrow. Grove Patter-
son has a way of expressing his
thoughts briefly. Read what he
says on this question:
There is a great deal of after-din-
ner oratorical bunk about hands
across-the sea and "blood is thicker
than water" whenever Americans and
Englishmen get together. There is
an equal amount of bunk spoken and
written about the unsatisfactory re-
lations that some Americans seem to
think they have with the French
people, or the German people, or the
Italians. The facts are that the av-
,erage plain people in America want
to see all the European nations re-
stored to prosperity and happiness as
soon as possible. Americans are for
tunately becoming more International
ly-minded without becoming less pa
triotic. Our nation stands ready to
do the right and reasonable thing,
and so do we, the people who make up
that nation.
We all get a little tired of the at
tacks made in some foreign journals
on Americas well-won prosperity.
The American people are just as fair
minded as any people on earth-and
for years we have been occupying the
= decent position of being the best
friends that any other nation ever
had.
Speaking of hands-across-the-se
if the American government anC
American bankers were not quite sc
eager to lend so much money abroad
there would be very little war or ru
mors of war in the old countries.
Do you suppose there is a single
European nation that could keep
war on the stage for four weeks with
out American capital?
Thrift campaigns can be, overdone
Much of our prosperity depends upol
buying. 1t is better for ourselves an
the whole country If we buy freel
and live well-so long as we hay
common sense enough to buy and liv
within our incomes. The man WIN
gets $50 week and contracts for pun
chases with time payments, amount

against the installment plan. He
merely an argument against the stu
pidity of which some people can D
capable.
The installment plan is boon I
thousands. 1t fills the want OF thos
who are entitled to have things the
need and desire. It's operation simpl
calls for the operation OF commo
sense.

STILL GIVING
They used to give the editor
All sorts of things to eat

They used to give the editor
All sorts of things to eat
And often for subscription
They would barter corn and whea
If he mentioned something special
Or remarked that it was nice,
Ten to one he'd get a melon,
Or a mess of Ash on ice.
They used to give the editor
A bouquet now and then
In the shape of beets or cabbage,
Or occasionally a hen;
They used to bring him pumpkins
And potatoes by the peck,
But now they bring him nothing
And he gets it in tie neck.
They used to give the sditor
Advice when he was slack,
Being awfully long in theory
But mighty short on jack.
But now the times are different,
And the gifts are not so swell,
For If he doesn't do. things right,
They call up and give him hell.
