MORE PAVEMENT ON
T. HI. NO. 1 OPENED

Pavement on T. H. No. was opened
Nov. 10 from Pine City to Mission
Creek, except a short gap, and from
Harris to Rush City. All detours
have been removed for the winter and
traffic will follow either the old road
or new grade on the unpaved por-
tons. This makes it possible to ride
on pavement from the Twin Cities to
Duluth, except 25 miles, to be COM
pleted next spring.
The contractor between Pine City
and Mission Greek was unable to fin
ish his project before freezing
weather came. The unpaved gap, 1.6
miles, will be given a temporary sur
facing and next spring this stretch
will be paved one side at a time, to
permit traffic to go through and avoid
using the detour by way of Brook
Park.
The stretches from Rock Creek to
Rush City and from Wyoming to Har-
ris are under contract to be completed
July 1. When work is started on
these stretches in the spring, good
gravel roads will be available as de-
tours.

Much Material Moved
In Building Highways
Constructions Work Costing 3d.
279,266 Is Reported by State
Department.

Grading done on Minnesota trunk
highways during 1926, required NOV
ing an average of 1919 cubic yards
of dirt per mile, according to recent
figures given out by the State High
way department. The total amount
of dirt moved in grading 339 miles
is 5,6S6,513 cubic yards. The cost
averages $6,517.67 per mile, and totals
$2,212,749.
During the year 568 miles of road
were graveled, with an average of
1892 cubic yards per mile, or a total
of 791, SOP cubic yards. Average cost
per mile is $1,7S3 and the total spent
for graveling, $1,013,215. This does
not include the re-graveling done by
the maintenance division.
The mileage paved is given as 1887
for the year, or a total of 2,039,751
square yards. The total cost is 81
566,160 or an average of $24,185 per
mile. Paving and crawling costs
are nearly uniform, but grading costs
vary greatly between level and billy
country.
Culyerts are included in the grad
ing costs, but an additional $487, 142
has been spent this year for So new
bridges. The total length of the
bridges built this year is 3,649 feet.
This brings the total spent for new
construction since Jan. / to $S,279,266,
with some work still in progress.

SILVER WEDDING
CELEBRATED

Monday, Nov. %, was the twenty
fifth anniversary of the wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. D. Petersen, northeast
of Askov, but friends and neighbors
called at their home and surprised
them Sunday afternoon, celebrating
the event day in advance. About
fifty people were present and an en-
jOyable afternoon was spent in social
visiting and recounting by-gone days.
The Petersens were married in Den
mark, remaining there for two years,
after which they emigrated to Amer
lea, settling in the neighborhood Of
Cedar Falls, Iowa. They remained
in that neighborhood until nearly
six years ago, when they came to
Askov and have since resided on
their farm, AZ miles northeast Of
town.
They have seven living children,
but three of them were not home
for this event-Peter, who is married
and living in Minneapolis, and Rich
ard and Viggo, who are presently
husking corn in Iowa.
The American joins with friends
in extending congratulations and best
wishes for continued happiness and
contentment.

COUNTY SEAT NEWS

County Auditor Edin is now en-
joying a breathing spell following the
rush at his office for big game licen-
ses last week. Over 1900 licenses
were issued and last Friday the sup
ply of licenses was exhausted so the
Auditor was obliged to give receipts
until a new supply could be obtained.
The annual Catholic bazaar and
dinner was held Sunday in the Cath
Ollie church. Several hundred people
gathered and partook of the splendid
dinner, and the various counters and
booths were also we'll attended.
Several of the churches in Pine

come is uncertain. 1T is said that
the United States Government is at
the end Of its letter writing activ-
tiles with Mexico and may take siren
uous measures to bring about rec
ognition of Americas claims and the
need for fair play in the Central
American region. 1t is reported that
communists and other agents of revo-
luton are spreading their propaganda
in Central and South America to such
an extent that the American govern
ment might we'll be alarmed at it's
possible effect According to the
story current here, the publication of
the facts in the secret files of the
Department of State would astound
the American public. 1t is believed
that the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee will attempt to have the
Department of State reveal the inside
story when the committee meets next
month.
Interviews with the leaders of var
ious factions in Congress show that
there is wide divergence of opinion
as to the legislative program of the
next session of Congress. The appro-
priation bills for the maintenance of
government departments in the next
fiscal year have the right of way, but
organized groups are prepared to de-
mand action by Congress on radio
measures, tax reductions, farm relief,
tariffs. primary election scandals, in
volving huge expenditures of money,
and the like.
For a time it appeared that the
agricultural problems would be
passed up with a few gestures on the
part Of both parties. The program
adopted last week by the representa-
tives of farm organizations in twelve
central states upset the dope in this
respect Every effort will be made
to revive the McNary-Haugen Farm
Bill, which was buffeted around the
halls of Congress for several months
and aRally pigeon-holed. The Ad-
ministration objects to any scheme of
artificially raising the domestic price
of food stuffs. The prospects of ag-
ricultural legislation are not at all
bright at this time, although it is
evident that the agitation will reach
a high water mark before Congress
adjourns.
AS seen in Washington the prin-
cipal objection to the compromise
plan offered by the twelve state ag-
ricultural farm groups is the equal
ization fee to be levied on farm pro-
ducts benefited by the export corpor-
alton which would operate under the
auspices of the Federal Government.

Lincoln County Loses
In Fight on Area Test

The Minnesota supreme court hand
ed down an important decision on
Nov. IL, in which the district court
of Lincoln county was reversed in
the case of the state against Lincoln
county, to compel the county to levy
taxes to complete the test of cattle in
the county for tuberculosis.
The county board had in 1924 en-
tered into a contract with the State
Livestock Sanitary board, under the
laws of 1928, providing for the area
test for tuberculosis eradication, and
the first test was made and completed.
In the meantime the legislature
amended the law in 1925 so that no
compensation is now provided for the
owners of steers condemned. On this
basis the Lincoln county board re-
fused to appropriate money for the
the law cancelled the contract. The
state brought mandamus suit to COM
pei the county to complete the con-
tract and the lower court found for
the county. This decision the SUI
preme court has now reversed.
In view of the fact that the area
test for T. B. eradication has been
made in many Minnesota counties, and
that many others have entered into
contracts to have the test made as
soon as funds are available, this de-
cision is of widespread interest.
The supreme court holds that, under
the plan of eradicating tuberculosis,
the county is a governmental agency
required to carry out the legislation
which is to protect public health and
promote public welfare; that the con-
tract between the State Livestock
Sanitary board and the county is
subject to such changes and alter
ations as the legislature may see fit
to thereafter make, and that the
county has no such proprietary int
contract that it can invoke the con-
stitutional protection against impair
ment of contracts, either on its own
behalf or in behalf of it's cattle own
ers, because of the changes wrought
by Chapter 230, Laws of 1925, enacted
after Lincoln county had entered into
this contract.
The supreme court also dismissed
the county's appeal questioning the
sufficiency of the petitions for the
making of the contract, and thereby
sustained the lower court in that re-
spect. ..-...-. ..-.
Under this decision the Livestock
Sanitary board will now be required
to carry out the contract and make
such tests of cattle in the county
until tuberculosis is eradicated there
from.

AN OPPORTUNE DINNER

disadvantages in flat life?" Mrs.
Newbride laughed. well, perhaps
so. But then someone's disadvantage
was my advantage last evening. So
you see it all depends on the point
of view.
"It happened that we had unex-
pected company to dinner-the San
ders. You know people who have a
dozen servants do not realize what
an impromptu dinner means in Pow
erty Flat, where but one is kept, and
it never occurs to them that there
might be limitations to roast or
dered for two. Unfortunately, there
wasn't even a roast on this occasion.
We were to finish the remains of
Sundays pot roast, for since Henry
and l got back from our trip to Ber-
muda we have had to economic.
When Nellie, our maid, brought me
the Sanders's cards remembered the
roast and I simply gasped What
should do? AS if in answer to my
question, just at that moment the
janitor's bell rang and, following Nell
lie out to the dumb-waiter, l saw
displayed upon the shelves-what do
you suppose?-24 oysters on the half
shell, four dainty chickens, box of
cakes and ice cream!
"Are you sure these things are for
u.s." l called down the shaft. Yes,
the man was sure-top flat, he had
been told. Then it occurred to me
that doubtless Henry had somehow
had hint of the Sanders's visit and
had sent the things, so l directed
Nellie to transfer them to our larder
and l went in to greet my guests,
much relieved in mind. When Henry
came home l had no chance to see
him alone before dinner was an
nounced.
Soup, as only the French can make
it, followed the oysters; then came
the broiled chickens, croquettes (alias
the Sunday roast), salad, dessert and
coffee. Henry looked gratified but
and the Sanders left the
table convinced, doubtless, that course
dinners were nightly occurrence in
Poverty Flat. But how did you know
that the Sanders were coming?' II

Washington, Nov. 24.-The nations
whispering gallery is running again
at full blast. 1t is a difficult task
to sift facts from fancy. In European
politics, Vienna is known as the ru-
NOR factory but Washington is known
for gossip of this nature. Now that
the elections are over, the shadow of
the 1928 Presidential campaign looms
prominently whenever men in public
life gather for conferences or social
occasions.
By far the most important topic of
conversation of today is the contin-
uation of the former Senator Butler
of Massachusetts, as Chairman of the
National Republican Committee. Al
though Mr. Butler has been unques
tionably successful in the textile bus
mess, he is known in official circles
here as a political misfit, meaning
that his personality and training are
not adaptable to a continuous politi-
cal career which his friend the Pres
ident had marked out for him.
The feeling prevails that when the
Congress adjourns March and the
Presidential campaign assumes ser
ious aspect that the Republican lead
ers will insist upon the appointment
of one trained in the science of po-
litics, preferably from the Middle
West. Democrats can derive little
satisfaction from the predicament of
the Republicans because they are in
the same boat. 1t is conceded that
there are outstanding men in their
no ideal national leader. of the mo-
ment.
Campaign managers qualified to
conduct national movements for their
respective parties are scarce these
days. Instead of the office seekir g
the man there are many Senators and
Congressman of both parties who are
now planning to have themselves pro-
jected into the limelight of national
leadership through the medium of
higher publicity agents. Of late
years the practice has been growing
by which men in public affairs force
themselves upon the attention of the
public, firmly believing in the trade
slogan, at pays to ADVERTISE"
The Latin American diplomatic
colony here in Washington is now
concerned with international politics
and not with the usual social func-
tons. The growing tension between
the American government and Mexico
and the grievances of other Latin
American countries involving Ameri-
can relations is placing strain upon

LITERALLY, MONEY IN EGGS

Once, when Kellar, the great ma
gician, was in Washington he visited
the Center Market, one of the sights
of the city. There was a row of old
darkey mammies, sitting on the walk
outside the building, laughing, chat
ting and smoking over their baskets
of fresh eggs, green vegetables, or
dried roots, waiting for customers.
Kellar sauntered up to one inlxy black
old negress, who had an array of
fresh eggs before her, looked at them
and inquired the price.
Twenty-Five cents a dozen, sab.
An desc yeah aigs is fust-rate aigs,
day isl answered the nanny.
II should think So" said he, and as
he picked up one and cracked it, out
came quarter.
Mammy's jaw dropped. and her pipe
with it.
And this one-and this one seems
pretty good" carelessly remarked the
man, cracking two more, out of which
50-cent pieces tumbled. He cracked
half dozen in all, and mammy's
store of silver was increased every
time. AS he walked off, followed by
a dozen pairs of beady black eyes
with nothing but the whites showing,
somebody came up and asked the awe
stricken old market woman the price
of her eggs.

her apron and waddled off in the
