Accident to Maintenance Man
Evokes Plea for Safety
Highway Commissioner Urges eau
ton in Passing Road Patrolmen
Cannot Protect Selves

A serious accident to Edward Ryan,
trunk highway parchment at Cannon
Falls, the fourth accident to state
road maintenance man this year,
caused Commissioner G.. NJ. Babcock
to issue an appeal to motorists to use
extreme caution in meeting or pass
ing road workers.
The grader which Ryan was operat-
ing was struck from the rear by a
machine going in the same direction.
Ryan was knocked off the grader, two
ribs broken and his back injured. His
condition was critical for two or three
days, but at last reports was out of
danger. Three patrolmen had been
injured earlier this spring, all by
machines coming from the rear.
1T is impossible for men operating
graders to dodge automobiles, or even
to be on the lookout" said Mr.. Bah
eek. ''The road machine requires
their constant attention. But they
move slowly and in a straight line
and if motorists will slow down and
exercise reasonable caution, there
should be no occasion for collision.
All our patrolmen have instructions
to assist motorists in every way pos
sible and not to obstruct traffic more
than absolutely necessary. Most of
our motorists have shown fine spirit
of cooperation and consideration for
the men working to keep ur RAIDS in
shape but there are some thoughtless
drivers who are constant menace to
our men.
''The state highway department has
made safety prime consideration.
Field forces have explicit instruc-
lions to obey all traffic rules. Dang
er and detour signs are carefully
maintained. Roads are widened and
Strengthened and grade crossings
eliminated wherever possible, to pro-
mote safe driving. Our men are do
ing everything possible to make the
roads safe for users. 1t will be an
encouragement to them if all drivers
treat them with the same considera-
ton"

Expect Stones to Bare
Egyptian Idea of Death

Berkeley, Cal.-Religious beliefs re-
garding life beyond the grave, held by
Egyptians more than 5000 years be-
fore the birth of Christ, may be re-
vealed in inscriptions on stones just
discovered in the University Of Cali
fornia museum.
Two stones on which inscriptions
were carved served as the jamb and
Intel Of the tomb of Sennetum, which
was explored by Psychologists about
the time the Civil war ended. Senne-
tum probably was an officer of the
ancient king of Egypt and served as a
guardian Of the Valley Of the Kings,
where the tomb Of Tut-Ankh-Amen
was invaded by scientists.
He may have been the founder of
an hereditary line of keepers whose
duty it was to guard the tombs from
the depredations of grave robbers, a
form of outlawry that is as old. as
mankind itself, says Dr. H. F. Lutz,
professor of Egyptology. He expects
to make known a translation of the
inscription soon.

Butter Market Shows Slight
Increase Over Last Week
Eggs Advance In Price for First-Class
Stock-Poultry Shipments and
Prices Normal

The market on butter at Chicago
during the week under review has
shown a firmer tone, partially due
to the fact that quite a few cars
have been stored instead of reaching
regular trade channels. Today the
market on 90 score Extras at Chicago
is 40Ac, which represents an adj
vance of Nc over the quotations pre-
vailing one week ago. There is more
speculative interest on 80 score STAN
dards and that grade of butter is
quoted at an advance of 1c as COM
pared with the quotations on the
corresponding day last week. There
has likewise been an advance of ~ c
in quotations on 90 score Extras at
New York when compared with the
quotations prevailing on May IT.
The producing season is consider
ed backward and the receipts re-
Gently have not been equal to the
volume moving year ago. The Unit

of last week and an increase in the

There Are Twenty Million
Autos in the United States
Federal Roads Bureau Gives Figures
On Registration and Taxation
The Gasoline Tax

More than 100000 motor We
hicles were in use on the highways
of the United States in 1925, accord
ing to the Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture.
The total registration reported was
19,954,347, but there were in ad-
dition 96,929 state and federal gov
ernment-owned vehicles not included
in this figure. There is now one We
hicle for each So persons in the
United States. The Minnesota regis
tration was 569, 1914, or one for every
As persons. The increase over 1924
was 1874 per cent for the United
States and 1871 per cent for Min
nesota.
Total receipts from registration
fees were $3.50, 619,621, the Mime
sofa total being $9,744,834. The
average per vehicle was $13.06 for
the United States and $17.10 for
Minnesota. In Minnesota, however,
this was in lieu of all other taxes, but
in a majority of the other states the
automobiles are subject to a personal
property tax. While this varies in
every locality, it is safe to say that
the total of the license and personal
property tax makes the average for
the United States several dollars
higher than the average license fee
in Minnesota.
The total gasoline taxes for the
United States for 1925 were &c.,
028,940, after deducting refunds. The
amount for Minnesota (eight months)
was $3,863,940. The Minnesota rate
is 2 cents per gallon. The average
for the thirty-six states which had a
gas tax at the beginning of 1925 was
2.19 cents. At the end of 1925 only
four states, Illinois, Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and New York, did not
have gas tax, and the average rate
in the forty-four states having such a
tax was 2.61 cents. Kentucky and
South Carolina have tax of five
cents per gallon.
The total number of gallons taxed
in 1925 was 6,457,783,2S4 and the
number of gallons used by motor-ve-
hicles and not taxed was estimated at

the market.
Receipts of eggs are showing a
slight falling off from the previous
week but are still in excess of the
quantity moving a year ago at this
time. The chief demand is for eggs
Of good quality and for such stock
1ac advance was paid during the
week under review as compared with
the market price prevailing during
the previous week at Chicago. While
at New York there was no apprecia-
BILE change when quotations are COM
pared with May II, if anything, there
is simply a wider spread between the
best quality and those that will not
grade up to the best marks.
Only a small portion of the total
receipts from the Northern section
of the country are bringing top prices
and shipments from more southerly
sections, where eggs are showing the
effects Of heat, are selling at some
discount under quotations. 1t is i'm
portant that eggs be gathered daily,
kept in cool place and marketed at
least three times weekly.
The market on live fowl at New
York, which to a great extent eff
fects the markets of the country,
showed an abrupt decline last week.
On Monday, May II, there was some
special outlet for fowl on account of
a Hebrew Holiday.
After the demand was filled the
quotations broke from Sc to &C a
pound on live fowl. Later in the
week there was little revived de-
mand and quotations closed with a
net loss for the week of from &c to
4c.
The Receipts of dressed poultry
are about normal for this season of
the year and at the lower prices
which fowl and ROSTERS have been re-
Gently selling, the receipts are meet
ing with fair demand.
More live and dressed broilers are
being marketed each week and this
increase viii, no doubt continue in
heavier volume until stocks reach a
storage basis. The incubators of the
country are turning out the broilers
much earlier than in the past; in
fact, it is only few years back there
were never enough broilers to COM
mence feeding until the first of July
while this year they have been going
to the feeling stations for nearly a
month. If this plan of early produc-
ton continues it will make unneces-
sary the storing of large volume of
broilers in the future-Produce Re-
view, Prepared by Swift & Company.

Golf Game May Help Save
Minnesota Highway Grades
Creeping Bent Grass, Used on Links
Is Being Tried by the State De-
partment

A little golf game in which three
scientists in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture participated ten years
ago may be the means of saving
thousands of dollars of Minnesota
trunk highway funds.
On the golf greens near Washing
ton that afternoon the three men no
ticed patch of grass which was un-
usually think and firm. They dug
up the sod, separated and examined
some of the grass. 1t was species
of bent. Then followed a series of
experiments and paintings to develop
the best strains of creeping bent.
First used top reduce firmer SGD
on golf greens, creeping bent was
next tried with success on lawns. It
was not until recently that its posi-
bilities for useo n highway shoulders
were considered. This year six ex-
perimental paintings have been made
on trunk highways, and if the grass
comes up to expectations, it may be
used extensively in the future.
Creeping bent is propagated by
planting clippings. A single shoot in
one summer will produce a piece of
sod three or four feeti diameter, as
dense and firm as cocoa door mat,
according to reports, and yard of
sod will furnish enough shoots to
plant a large sized lawn. 1t never
grows more than six or eight inches
high. If the claims made for the
grass are found to be true, it will
not only prevent thousands of dollars
of damage to highway shoulders by
washouts, but it will eliminate the
cost of moving the road sides, for the
grass grows so thick that it kills all
other vegetation.
When creeping bent first came to
the attention of w. F. Rosewald,
