State Highways Continue
to Receive Federal Aid
Minnesota Will Benefit From Approx
al of $165, 000, 900 Appropria-
ton By Congress

Approval by President Coolidge OF
the Federal road aid bill insures the
continuation of improvements upon
the roads designated as federal aid
roads in Minnesota. The bill ap-
propriates 100000 annually for
1928 and 1929 for roads on the Fed.
eral aid system and $7,500,000 for
each of these years for roads in and
to the national forests.
When the bill was before the
House, Chairman Dowen of the roads
committee said that no bill of this
character had the unanimous support
which was mustered behind this meas
ure. The leading national organiza-
tions representing agriculture, bank
ing, labor, industry, state highway Of
ficials, and the automotive industry,
Endorsed the bill. The final vote in
the Senate was SO to 6.
Minnesota has been allotted $19,-
sol, $50 from federal appropriations
for the years 1917 to 1927, inclusive.
C.. M. Babcock, state highway COM
missioner, expressed himself as
greatly pleased at the passage of the
new bill, because it will mean allot-
ment of approximately 100000
annually for road work in this STATE
for at least two years more.
There are 200,349 miles of road in
the federal aid system. Approx
mately two thirds of this has been
improved, according to Thos. P.
Henry, president of the American
Automobile Association. The aver
age cost to the federal government to
improve mile of highway is $3.50,
and passage of the bill by the present
Congress means that an additional
22,500 miles will be improved during
the years 1927 to 1929.
"When the federal aid system was
designated in 1921, it was hoped that
its Improvement could be completed
within ten years." says Mr.. Henry.
cat the present rate, it is apparent
that this hope will be realized and
that within five more years, if nothing
happens to retard the progress, there
will be continuous interstate high
way system connecting every city of
5000 population or larger, and every
section of it improved to the degree
consistent with the density and char
acter of the traffic"

COUNTY TAX BUDGET
WILL BE $35,OOO.
INCREASE OF $50, 900 OVER LAST
YEARS LEVY BY CON-
MISSIONERS
NEW HIGHWAY PLANNED
OVER 100000 WILL BE USED
FOR NEW ROAD CONSTRUC-
TON IN 1927

An increase of the Stearns county
budget of about 100000 over that
for the previous two years was an
nounced today by the board of county
commissioners.
Though the exact amount had not
been figured by the commissioners to-
day, the budget will probably run
from $325,000 to $330,000. The
budget for last year was $29s,4oo
which included $128,400 for miscel-
laneous expenses, 100000 for the
road and bridge fund, and $4,000 for
bonds and interest on the court
house.
Most of the increase, probably $685.
900, was found necessary by the COM
missioners as an addition to the road
and bridge fund which has been rum
ming behind each year to the extent
of about $500. There was also
found necessary a slight increase in
the child welfare board and mothers
pension departments.
The commissioners intimated this
morning that the increase in proper
ty would likely take care of part of
this increase in the budget, but it is
probable that the tax rate will be
Increased one mill.
The long-mooted contention as to
the establishment of the St. Martin
to st. Rosa road was ended yester-
day when the road was granted as
petitioned for. The exact route
which it will take has not yet been
decided upon, but it will start at
Highway No. IL in st. Martin, fol-
low the township highway nearly due
north to point two miles north of the
Oak-St.Martin line, thence generally
northeast to the village of Freeport
and follow the township road north
and west to St. Rosa. It is known as
the st. Martin, Oak, and Milwood road
and is about II miles in length.
The petition for the blishment
of a road through st. Martin, Spring
Hill, Oak and Grove townships was
laid over to December 81. It would
be about four miles in length-St.

Pageant at County Fair
to Be Unusual Attraction
Five Hundred People, Young and Old
Will Depict Early History of
Sank Centre and County

Chairman Howard Bishop and his
assistants who will have charge of
the Historic Pageant to be presented
at the Stearns County fair on the
evenings of Sept. 81, %, and 20, are
very much encouraged over the out
look. This will be the most preten-
tious entertainment feature ever at
tempted by the Fair Association. The
500 people who will take part will be
trained by professionals, supplied by
the John B. Rogers Producing Com
pany, the largest producers of this
sort Of entertainment in the world.
The history of this section is rich
in material, extremely interesting
but it is safe to say that the average
citizen is woefully unfamiliar with
the important happenings which made
possible further progress toward the
many conveniences and comforts en-
joyed by the people of Western
Stearns county today.
The Pageant will bring these facts
before the people in vivid and i'm
pressive way, causing them to pause
in the reckless rush after the dollars
they covet, and think of how their
city was born; Of the sacrifices Of
their forefathers for an ideal, during
long period of struggle and stress ;
of why Sank Centre and Stearns
County was able to take a place of
leadership in it's commonwealth-an
enterprise which will inoculate the
minds Of the people with such germs
of thought is bound to stimulate civic
pride, promote concern as to how our
county can be made greater in the
future, and is worthy of the support
of every individual who can in any
way contribute to its success.
Aside from the historical part,
beautiful ballets, symbolical dances
all telling story and a grand climax
'The Melting Pot' a spectacle based
on a big thought, will be features.

Brooten Woman is Having
Trouble Collecting Fortune
Heirs of Man Picked Up Ill On Street
In Chicago Wrangling Over
100000

Chicago, July 14-Eight cousins OF
Edwin B. Jennings, who lived in pow
erty but left 100000 estate upon
his death, will share in the fortune,
according to decision of Judge Kirk
ham Seaman in the circuit court to-
day.
But there will be months more of
litigation before the cousins may OBJ
tain actual cash from the estate, it
was indicated. An appeal to the ap-
pellate court will be taken by four
claimants whose claims to kinship al
ready have been lost in two court
fights.
Jennings died in 1928. Two hun
bred claimants to the estate appeared
and mysterious will was produced.
But the will was declared fraudu-
lent, and the heirs narrowed down to
eight by the court. They are Sarah
M. O'Carr, of Ontario; Norman
Brisze, Of New York; Cassie Bogart,
Elyria, Ohio; George T. Jennings, Ed
no E. Quest, T. E. Brady, Charles R.
Jennings and John A. jennings.
There still remains unsettled a
claim of Mrs. Leo Rengel, war nurse
of Brooten, Mimi, who declared
Jennings gave her a written promise
to leave her $250,000 after she had
rescued him from the wheels of a
motorcar in Chicago. Attorneys for
four other claimants have filed notice
or appeal to the supreme court.
