road in good condition any time of the
year and the difference in cost, as
compared with pavement, becomes
very marked.
1--WE must also consider the prob
able growth in traffic in the future.
There has been an increase of 10
per cent or more each year since we
took the first census in 1921. At most
points it is now more than double
what it was then. There is a car for
every fourth person, but many fam
lilies are buying two cars, and tourist
traffic is increasing. The use of
trucks on farms has shown a large
increase in the last year or two, and
this will probably continue until all
except the smallest farms have trucks.
"In planning roads for the future,
this growth must be considered. 1t
is not necessary to pave the entire
trunk highway system at once, as IL
linois has done and some other states
are doing, but it would be good bus
mess economy to pave more than half
of it at the earliest possible date"

WILLOW RIVER


Maurice Weinberger, superintendent
of the village school, took advantage
of subscription proposition put out
by the Curtiss Publishing Co., and
was very successful in placing SO
copies of the Saturday Evening Post,
GA copies of The Ladies Home Jour-
nal, and 80 copies of the Country
Gentlemen. Besides placing these
splendid magazines in the homes for
winter reading, the school received a
liberal commission which, amounted
to about $4,000. The high school was
organized with Donald Ehmke as
sales manager, and they all did very
creditable work.
Joseph Drupka, who lives south Of
town on the farm known as Marks
Ranch, is building a nice cottage that
will be ready for winter use. This
new building adds much to the ap-
pearance of the place.
There will be services at the Pres
byterian church Sunday evening, at
8 o'clock. Rev. Fillinger will preach.
All are wecome.

AFTER SCHOOL, WHAT?

Many boys and young men who
completed the public schools last June
are now confronted with the question:
What Next?"
Many of these boys and young men
are already at work in some voca-
ton, either commercial, agricultural,
or industrial. Some are planning to
go to business college; some to agri-
cultural college, some to the State
University.
After a person finishes a regular
school he may choose to secure fur
Their training on the job. In fact
most of us learn more on the job
than we ever learned while attending
school.
1t is we'll for us all to plan
ahead and we cannot build a build
ing without a good foundation; nei-
Their can a young man build up a sue
cessful life without some sort of foun-
dation.
For those boys and young men who
wish to go into trades and industries
like printing, automobile work, ma
chine shop, carpentry, electrical work,
sheet metal, drafting, highway con-
struction, and similar lines, Dun
woody institute has been given to the
residents of the state.
This institute, conducted without
profit, and endowed with millions Of
dollars by the late William Hood Dun
woody and wife, is attempting to
meet the requirements of boys and
young men who want to work with
their hands as we'll as with their
heads.
This institute is located in Mime
apolis, but is serving not only resi-
dents of the state, but people from
all over the United States.
Many boys and young men come
to Dunwoody for training and return
to their home town or to the farm
and put to use the practical know
ledge and skill acquired at the Insti-
tute.

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC
GROWTH CONTINUES
Increase in Year Is IL Per Cent.
Interesting Data on Travel
Is Furnished by Commissioner
-BabcOck.

Highway traffic in Minnesota con-
iinues to grow, steadily and rapidly.
A summary of the traffic census
taken August to IA by the State
Highway department. has just been
made public by Commissioner C. M
Babcock 1t shows that the growth
was not confined to highways in Pine
county but was general throughout
the state. For the state at large the
increase over 1926 was IL per cent.
An average of 1890 vehicles per
day was counted on T. H. No. at
Hhckley. There were 298 Minneso-
ia A and 938 Minnesota B cars, 279
foreign cars, 10 buses, 10 freight line
trucks, Al light and heavy trucks,
i wagon and 1 buggy.
On T. H. No. % between Mission
Greek and Mora the average per day
was ZIG, composed of ~ Minnesota
A and III B cars, 10 foreign cars,
buses, freight line trucks, 10 light
and no heavy trucks, 1 wagon and
I buggy.
Counts were made at 275 points on
the trunk highways and six on county
roads. Many counts were taken at
new stations, but 205 were at points
where counts had been made in 1926,
and the average at these points is
considered a fair index of the growth
of travel throughout the state. The
average number of each type of We

The increases were the largest in
Minnesota "B" cars, light trucks, and
foreign cars. The increase in foreign
cars was 1876 per cent. Minnesota ga"
cars increased slightly, heavy trucks
and wagons showed no change, and
buggy traffic got still closer to the
vanishing point.
The highest count for a single day
was 1899, on T. H. No. ~ near
Hopkins, on Sunday, Aug. IA. The
same day there were 1873 counted
on No. north of Robbinsdale. The
six points having the highest average

No As at Lake Elmo------4732 2301
No. so north of Jet. No. 5--4603 1880
The increase on No. As was largely
due to the fact that No. IL was closed
for construction. The lowest count

of Aurora
Paved roads carried much the heav-
Ter traffic. Counts were taken at 80
points on the pavements, and these
showed an average per day of 2,454

Funpaved highways the average per
day was 702 rigs. At 80 points on the
:unpaved roads traffic ranged from
IA to 500 vehicles per day, at 10S
points from 500 to 1000 rigs, at 10
points from 1000 to 1900, at nine
