NEW PAVING
ROAD PROGRAM.
THE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
MOVES TO BETTER SERVE
LARGE NUMBERS AND
DIVERT CASH FROM
UPKEEP.

Announcing that next Saturday
bids will be asked Feb. 8 on 331a
miles of additional paving on the
heavily Travelled part of I. II. No.
l, between the Twin Cities and Du-
llth, Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, asserted that
although located in the east-central
part of Minnesota these improve
ments will hasten better roads in
every other locality.
Because of the heavy mainten-
ance expense of the gravel surfac-
ing on this section" said Mr.. Bah
cock, "the cost to the state has run
from 81 900 to $1,000 mile yearly
over the whole annual cost of a
pavement on the route. The pave
ment will better serve and lower
the car expenses of the great num-
bers using the highway-the traffic
runs from 1000 to 5000 vehicles a
day on every mile.
"The pavement saving of state
road funds will far exceed $4,000
annually on the 160-mile highway
between the Twin Cities and Du-
luth," he said. "The result will be
that this sum will be available each
year to hasten needed improve
ments on lez-traveled routes in
ether sections of the state.
"The entire highway program
will be speeded as result and
every county will benefit.
Mr.. Babcock had previously an
Incunced that an effort will be made
ilext year to stretch funds sufi-
GENTLY to complete the paving on
T. H. No. l between st. Paul, Min
neapolis and the head of the lakes.
New projects just announced will
leave only 30-mile unpaved sec
ton from Wyoming to Rock Creek.
Building of that stretch, however,
will mean continuous 350-mile
pavement IN Minnesota. 1t will
stretch from point south of
Owatonna to Duluth on T. H. No.
/ from Duluth to Virginia on T. H.
No. IL and across the Iron Range
to Grand Rapids on T. H. No. 35.
Besides pavement built or already
under contract on the Twin Cities
Duluth part of 7. H. No. /, the
new work just announced includes
So miles at $500 between White
Bear and Hugo; 40 miles at $685.
600 between Hugo and Forest Lake;
As miles at $4,000 between Forest
Lake and Wyoming; 27 miles at
$50, 600 near Barnum; 1876 miles at
1921 900 between Barnum and OF
ter Greek; 3.4 miles at $4,000 be-
tween Otter Greek and Carlton, and
IL mile connection east from Wy
oming on T. H. No. as.
The estimates given are exclusive
Of the cement which is to be fur
.nished by the state. The highway
department plans to call for bids
late this month on about 100000
barrels of cement to be used in ITO
miles of new paving this year. Wis
consin is buying nearly 100000
barrels for its 1926 paving program
and Illinois will contract for about
10000 barrels to put into about
1000 miles of new paving projected
this year by its highway department.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

Taking
LIVERY girl under 20 has at

There are times when every
woman thinks wistfuIly Of the
days when a lover hit his lady
over the head with a club and
dragged her three times around
his tent: and compares him fiat
teringly with the cautious, inert,
prosaic amorist, who has to be
drawn out. blindfolded and backed
into marriage.
When modern Lothario
DOES get a reputation as a
Perfect Cave Man." there Is
usually a wild bargain-rush for
his favor.
But, being courted by q he
man, and being married to one,
are so different!

Before marriage, a girl Is
thrilled at being affectionately
ordered about by a big master
full caveman. But after mar
rage, her hero's halo turns into
a cute little pair of horns when
he begins to bully her around

emptorily told to put on your

But It's not half so thrilling
to be told to "Find my shoes"
or to "Take off that bare-backed
dress and put on something de-

band, who goes around sporting

It makes you feel SO little and
