Census Ordered

First winter counts of traffic on
state trunk highways in Redwood
County and over the state are started,
says a current highway bulletin, to
ascertain the extent of winter use of
the routes and obtain a measure of
warranted expenditures for snow
blowing and other winter mainten-
ance.
Commissioner G. M. Babcock has
ordered the counts on odd days and
under different weather and road
conditions by regular employees of
the department. The checkup will
show the number of cars using vari-
Gus routes over the state and provide
a basis for determining amounts that
can justly be spent to keep them OPP
en-.
Predictions in the department went
contrary to the common impression
that winter gas receipts would cover
the cost of opening all roads in win
ter. However, highway officials said
a liberal policy would be adopted and
the fight against snow blockades will
be continued on all routes yielding a
fair return in service to the general
public.

President Interested

H. L. Beecher, president of the
Eagle Roller Mills of New Tim, was
one of the prominent Northwest mill
ers to be granted an audience by
President Calvin Coolidge at Wash
ington last Saturday. Keen interest
in trade and agricultural conditions
in the Northwest was shown by the
president. He inquired anxiously in
to the agricultural conditions. Mr..
Beecher was the spokesman for the
delegation. He stated that flour pro-
duction was increasing since January
1st and that collections were the best
in years. Members of the delegation
predicted an increase in the price of
grain, as the consuming power of the
United States is advancing with the
increase in population. The delega-
ton went to Washington to appear
before the senate committee on agri-
culture to oppose the Carraway bill
designed to prohibit the dealing in
cotton and grain futures.-Exchange

so THESE ARE MEN

n n EN- are what women marry.
lVI They have two feet, two hands
and sometimes two wives, but
never more than one collar or one
idea at time.
Like Turkish cigarettes, men are
all made of the same material. The
only difference is that some are lit
tie better disguised than others.
Generally speaking, they may be
divided into three classes: husbands,
bachelors and widowers. An eligible
bachelor is a mass of obstinacy sur
rounded by suspicion. Husbands are
of three varieties: prizes, surprises
and consolation prizes.
Making a husband out of a man is
one Of the highest plastic arts known
to civilization. 1t requires science,
sculpture, common sense, faith, hope
and charity-especially charity.
It is a psychological marvel that
soft, fluffy, tender, violet-scented, lit
tie thing like a woman should enjoy
kissing big, awkward, stubbly chin
ned, tobacco and bay rum scented
thing like man.
If you flatter a man it frightens
him to death, and if you don't you
bore him to death. If you permit him
to make love to you he gets tired of
you in the end, and if you don't he
gets tired in the beginning.
If you believe him in everything
you soon cease to charm him. If you
try to argue with him N everything
you soon sease to charm him. If you
believe all he tells you he thinks you
are fool, and if you don't he thinks
you are cynic.
IT you wear gay colors and rouge
and startling hat, he hesitates to
take you out, and if you wear little
brown toque and a tailor-made he
takes you out and stares all evening
at {. woman in gay colors, rouge and
a startling hat.
If you join him in his gaities and
approve him in his smoking he
swears you are driving him to the
devil, and if you don't approve Of his
smoking and urge him to give up his
gaities he vows you are driving him
to the devil
If you are the clinging vine type
he doubts whether you have brains,
and if you are modern, advanced
and Independent woman he doubts
whether you have heart.
If you are silly he longs for a
bright mate, and if you are brilliant
and intellectual he longs for play
mate.
If you are popular with other men
he is jealous, and if you are not he
hesitates to marry a wallflower.
Gosh-ding men, anyhow. Prince
ton Leader.

Will Test Ruling

Marshall business men have deter
mined to make test case of the re-
cent ruling by the States Attorney
General that giving tickets for gift
drawings is an offense under the lot
terry law. The business mems asso-
citation of Marshall will again give
tickets with merchandise sold, in de-

hopes in this way to get case taken
into the courts where it will be tried

other communities, including Red

as a means of drawing trade. All
such campaigns have been stopped

We amt a-knockin' nobody, but thu
following little paragraph written by
Carl Eastwood fits in so pat with thu
things we have always said abou
the careless buying of stock that W.
can't help reprinting it.
Zone Of the automobile stock
salesman's favorite arguments is
to tell you how many millions
you would have made if you had
bought Ford stock early in the
game. He leaves the inference
that if you buy the stock he has
to sell you may land up there on
Easy Street with the rest of the
Millionaires. But the slick gent
does not tell you that since the
dawn of the motor industry more
than 500 different makes of cars
have gone off the market. We
do not imagine that those who in
vested their good money in stock
Of those companies drew down ex-
tensively heavy dividends"

The Faribault News says, "Inci-
dentally it isn't from farmers like
William Reivers who received a $780,
90 cream check for the milk from
twenty-five cows last month, that
you hear all this talk about hard times
on the farm" To that the Gazette
would like to add that it is safe to
assume this line of talk is not being
heard from Frank Heiling of Morgan
either. Having had cream checks of
more than four hundred dollars for
each Of the past two months, Mr..
Heiling is probably not growing
about these hard times. He hasn't
time to. 1t takes too much time to
feed the cows more corn to produce
more milk to make more butterfat
to buy more feed to feed the cows
that produce more milk that makes
more butterfat that-well, carry it on
for yourselves! Anyway we can't
imagine that bunch of Morgan people
who walked away with all those big
checks last month spending any of
their energy in hard-time growing.

the Eastern section of the United

Ted, recently returned from Washing
