Minnesota Trunk Highways
Open Through Wet Period
Every Community Accessible, But All
Roads Were Not Good, Babcock
Points Out

Minnesota trunk highways, with 8
few exceptions which can be counted
on the fingers on one hand, have beer
open and passable through a perioo
of rain this fall which would have
made 90 per cent of the roads inn
passable ten years ago, a bulletin
from the State Highway department
this week points out.
Motorists in Stearns county car
confirm this by comparing conditions
on the trunk highways this fall with
the same roads a few years ago. Elk
tension of the state aid system, as
we'll as work done on other county
and town roads in this vicnty has
made it possible for them to operate
their cars almost everywhere in this
county all the time.
September, according to the u s.
weather bureau at St. Paul, had only
one clear day, sixteen rainy days, and
total of 5. SO inches of rain. Aug
ust had ten rainy days and 4.27
inches of precipitation. October start
ed with almost a normal months
rainfall in three days. Many sections
of the state had much more rain, and
some had less, but generally it has
been the severest test of Minnesota
road system since the trunk highway
plan was established in 1921.
''The long period of rain has
brought some difficult problems and
lot of extra work for our mainten.
ance forces, particularly on the more
heavily travelled gravel roads," Com
missioner C.. M. Babcock said recent
ly. "The long dry period in the early
summer, when much of the surface
material was ground into fine powd-
er, made the work more difficult.
Through all the rainy season
there have been only two or three
places on the entire trunk highway
system where construction work OF
some other unusual condition made
the road impossible for period, anG
two or three more where it was nee
essary to use chains to get through
Roads that have been graded and
graveled according ito present day
standards, and where traffic is not
too heavy, remained practically as

normal weather.

AMERICAN LEGION
Minnesota Hosts March in Parade

state at Philadelphia, particularly in
that big parade. Many scores of

other, but only one state-Minnesot

And only one state boasted of Le-

There is nothing like the Hibbing
Legion Auxiliary drum corps to be
seen at conventions. Istead of ladies
apparel the girls wear cream white
uniforms of masculine type. Stately
and beautiful, yet full of vim end
dash, they cut a striking figures, at
tracing the adnriring attention Of all
eyes. You bet America knew Mime
sofa was represented at Philadelphia.

shipped out of the Valley last season.
More cars OF tomatoes are being
shipped out of the Valley this sea
son and there is less competition
from other tomato growing see
tions. Shipments out Of Florida,
both on the east and west coasts. are
to be considerably lighter this sea-
son than last. The Manatee section
will run from COO to 500 ears as
against 1900 for last season. First
shipments out of the Jacksonville.

to occur during the last two weeks Of
May. The first cars were only Of
ordinary quality but present ship

No bruises were found on the body
The child was missed about nine
o'clock yesterday morning and
shortly after il was asccrtained that
he had fallen in the well. The
shaft leading 10 the water was SO
narrow that il was believed the
shild had slipped gradually. rather
than fallen into the well. Rescuers
located the body where it had
lodged about four feet above the
water. The child was 50 tightly
wedged against the wall of the
shaft that it was impossible to
bring him up with graphing hooks
fastened in his clothing
Efforts were first made to sink
shaft wide enough for a man t. 20
down, but the sand caved in con
stantly and rescuers were forced
to abandon this method. Grading
shovels and road scrapers were
brought and an inverted cone-shap-
ed hole, with its point where the
child law and about "a feet in di-
ameter at the top, was dug.
