GRADING JOB DONE
WITHOUT HORSES
"New Stunt i'm Construction on
Minnesota Highway Attracts
Nationwide Attention.

"a brand new stunt, moving dirt
by gasoline and moving it fast-a
power shovel and dump wagon job
26 men working in two shifts and not
horse or mule in sight"
That is the way the Earth Mover, a
national grading contractors maya
zine, describes job completed re-
Gently on Minnesota trunk highway No.
so, between Hampton and Cannon
Falls. Describing the 'camp with
out a corral" the article says that
in the interest of veracity it must be
confessed that there was a lonesome
looking two horse team hitched to a
scraper leveling the loads as they
were dumped.
A gas-air shovel was doing the dig
ging, but instead of long string of
teams with dump wagons of IL yard
capacity, there were two caterpillar
tractors drawing two wagons, also
equipped with caterpillar treads, one
wagon carrying eight and one nine
yards of dirt in load. The big wa
CONS moved at almost double the
speed of horses and worked in wet
weather when horse-drawn wagons
would have mired. Then with the
double shift. the work was completed
in a very short time.
The big wagons discharged their
loads evenly over the road and the
caterpillar wheels compacted the big
file moro uniformly than would he
possible with ordinary wagons. Con-
tractors from many parts of the Unit
ed States witnessed the new method
of road building.
Modern machinery and engineering
skill have made the roads of today
possible. Without them, we would
still be travelling on dirt trails. And
as more efficient machinery is devel-
oped, it will hasten the day when our
highways can be made adequate to
twentieth century traffic. -- -.

A young husband on Pine county
farm came in from work one noon
and found his wife trying to feed the
baby sour milk. Heavens dearly,
what are you doing that for he
asked. 81 read it in a farm maya
zine that sour milk was good for a
baby" she replied. Nonsense" he
exclaimed. 'Where is the paper?'
She handed it to him and looking over
the item, found that it read: "Sour
milk is good for baby chicks" but the
word chicks" had been cut off and
transferred to the top of the next
column.

POSTAGE STAMP FAME

At a recent Duluth luncheon club
meeting DR.. Thomas H. Shastid, a
Head of the Lakes writer of dis
tinction, led a discussion about the
propriety of adjoining postage stamps
with pictures of mediocre presidents.
He thought that stamps should bear
pictures of persons who had achieved
fame in the arts, literature or inven-
ton. The Duluth Herald expresses
an editorial opinion on the matter
as follows:
The question is not without difficult
ty and no doubt the postoffice author
tiles have thought a lot about it,
Stamps carry no pictures of living
persons, and this is right. This
honor should be reserved to those who
have died and whose fame survives
their deaths. Honor should be paid
to the deserving while they live, but
there is limit to this idea. Tomb
stones are not set up for the living,
nor are obituaries or extensive BIZ
ographies usually written.
Postage stamps do not display pic
lures of all the presidents. Vignettes
of the Adamses, Madison, Van Buren,,
Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fill
more, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Ar
thur, Taft, and Coolidge do not ap-
pear. All the other presidents who
are dead are shown, and nearly all
enjoy deserved fame. These include
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Mon
roe, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Cleve-
land, the later Harrison, Mckinley,
Roosevelt, Wilson, and Harding.
Nor do deceased ex-presidents mon
opolize this honor. Martha Wash
ington is shown on the four-cent
stamp, she being the only woman thus
honored. Nathan Hale, Benjamin
FRANKLIN, and John Marshall are also
recognized.
Aside from these, there are on the
stamps vignettes of the American In
dian, the Statue of Liberty, the Golden
Gate, Niagara Falls, the bison, Ar
lington, the Lincoln monument, and
the capitol. The special delivery and
air mail service honor no persons
but picture messenger boys, motor
cycles, and airplanes.
In fact the present plan is pleas
ing and appealing on the whole, al
though there could be no objection al
all to having it enlarged so that or
proper issues vignettes of great states.
men, HISTORIANS, publicists, inventors
and the like might appear.
But this honor should always be
reserved for the dead. Certainly il
would add nothing to the fame of an
Edison or Mayo at this time to
enshrine their faces on postage
stamps. Later on it might mean
much.

United States with the exception of
the red spruce. Many conifers of the
southern, southern Appalachian, and
western regions are missing from
Minnesota forests.
Five varieties of nuts grow wild in
Minnesota woods, including the bitter
hickory, or pignut. The four good
varieties are the shagbark hickory,
butternut, black walnut, and hazel
nut
The new book will list twelve spe-
cies of black berries and raspberries,
mostly native to the state, two species
of wild grape, the wild plum, wild
crab apple, pin cherry, black cherry,
and choke cherry. Among the map
les are the hard maple, black maple,
soft maple, mountain maple, red
maple, and box elder. The three
elms are the white elm, the species
usually encountered, slippery elm, and
rock elm. Eight oaks are noted, the
most common being the red and bur
oaks. The white oak is abundant in
the southeastern section. Five poplars
and about 20 willows are recorded.
The rose family is well represented
The family Rosaceae, including the
wild roses, thorn apples, wild crab
apple, blackberries, and raspberries,
will take up larger part of the
volume than any other family. Twelve
species of hawthorn, including the
thorn apples, will be included, one of
them a cultivated variety. Fifteen
species of rose will be enumerated, of
which five are natives. .,..
The authors are including in their
lists not only native plants but those
which have been planted so generally
that many will have seen them and
may be curious to know their exact
identity.
They are of the opinion that in Min
nesota of today the white elm may
be the most numerous tree, especially
when one includes the thousands that
have been planted by man.
| Other notable Minnesota trees in
clude the Eastwood, which with the
hard maple made up about two thirds
of the stand in the famed Minnesota
big Woods, and the green ash, both
common in southern Minnesota.
| About the hardest group to classify
was that of the willows. When all
work on this group had been finished
the manuscript was sent to DR.. Carl
ton R. Ball of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c., for him to check. The study
of the American willows is DR.. Balls
hobby and he is considered the ma
tional authority on that family of
trees.
Minnesota woody vines, this book
says, are the Virginia creeper, two
varieties of wild grape, the bitter
sweet, three species of honeysuckle,
the white and purple clematis, and
the moonseed.

THE FLYING CROSS
(Des Moines Tribune CapitaD


The first Flying Cross, a new medal
which will be used for extraordinary
achievements in aviation, will be Civ
en- to Captain Lindbergh by President
Coolidge The Viking will be the first
to wear it. Then the Pan-American
flyers will be the next
Speaker Longworth proposes that
congress giveL indbergh the medal OF
honor. He suggests that the bill pass
at the very opening of next session,
taking precedence over other business.
The congressional medal is one of
the rarest awards in the world, be-
ing given only for valorous acts be-
yond the requirements of duty 1t
was devised during the civil war, and
it has never been given except for
feats of arms. 1t is high time it
was given to some one like Lind
bergh, for a peacetime accomplish
ment. Of course Chamberlin will gel
one, too.
For that matter, it would be well
to have new decorations of as high
rank as the medal or honor, to be
given only for extraordinary achieve
ments not connected at all with war
Other nations have such means Of
recognizing their great men, and we
have our private benefactors and as
sociations who reward ours But we
do not honor them in a national anC
official way. We have simply faller
into the habit of taking no note o.
great services which have nothing tt
do with armed conflict. This is al
impossible position for a countr!
which has as little of the militar!
in its national character as the Uni
ted States, when other countries otter
regarded as armed camps do not con
fine themselves to rewarding merel!

CHURCH ADVERTISING is RECON-
MENDED BY PRESBYTERIANS

Paid advertising in newspapers has
been recommended to all Presbyterian
churches by Walter Irving Clarke OF
Philadelphia, national publicity di-
rector for the denomination.
Pastors who have regularly used
newspaper ads" said Mr.. Clarke
find that they are a good investment
These ads should not be merely per-
functory announcements of sermon
topics, but should be stimulating
enough to inspire readers to desire
to attend church and should also be
thought awakeners for those who do
not attend There should be a real
message for conscience and soul in
every ad.
1.-THE church advertisement should
strike a happy medium between crude
sensationalism and cold dignity.
"A church that cannot afford much
money for promotion may join with
other churches in the community in
united newspaper appeal, using lib
eral effective display space. If the
church will pay for live newspaper
advertising it will find that newspaper
advertising will pay the church"

CHEAPEST IN THE END

Of course the initial cost of paving
the highway exceeds that on graveling
by a big margin, but in the end it
is the cheapest and best. The COM

This is IL times the total railway

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 5. (P)-The Yak Galloway hybrid developed at the U. s. experimental station here makes his own selection of company, choos- ing to follow the yaks in pasture rath- CT than Galloway cattle. The choice prevails whether the yak strain be paternal or maternal.
 Since both the yaks and Galloways are polled, none of the rybrids has de- veloped horns. The young are straight backed like the Galloways, and give promise of larger stature than the yak. Meat qualities have not been tested by slaughter because of the breeding purposes. The hybrids are less stolid than the yaks, but are more rugged than the Galloways
