One New York newspaper reported five bushe bas-

We can hardly know for few years whether any

flights or not If there have been, it is sure that
in 50 or 100 years the flight will be known for those

the blood gradually disappeared from

Editorial Comment
Better Than Old Age Homes
Duluth Herald)

An organization in Minneapolis is planning to or
ganze the state with view to putting through the
next legislature law that will provide every coun
ty in the state with "Sunset Home for the Aged y
The organization is backed by an impressive list
OF names that includes many eminent citizens Of
the state. The plan has been before the legislature
before, but did not succeed. Apparently the idea
now is to bring it up again with backing strong
enough to put it through.
The fact that in almost every county there are
dependent, helpless old people who need such an
asylum for the twilight of their lives. is only too
obvious. The wisdom and propriety, not to speak
OF the kindness, Of making provision for them
is not to be gainsaid. The plan proposed by the
Commonwealth club Of Minneapolis deserves fair
hearing and full consideration.
But while it is being considered it may be we'll
If young folks who have not even begun to- think
OF themselves when they are old will give some
thought to those in whose behalf this plan is being
considered and then little thought to themselves
These dependent old people were once young, too.
During their lives they may have handled quite a
bit Of money But there is none of it left.
Those who make it rule to save part Of their
earnings and to invest their savings wisely and
who also carry proper life insurance to protect
those who are bereaved of their bread winners are
not likely to find themselves, when they are old in
need of charity.
And though old folks homes are fine, and un-
happily they are necessary, independence built by
thrift and industry beats the finest old folks home
ever built

Iowa to Pave BY Counties
(MinneanOlis .Tnnrnall

Minnesota's trunk highway paving enterprise
goes slowly forward, held back by the necessity Of
financing construction out of license and kasonc
tax revenue. Iowa has just embarked upon state
wide paving project by means of county bond is
sues. OF the ninety-nne countless forty three have
voted bonds to pave their main roads. Eight more
counties have set dates for voting on the proposal
and fifteen others plan to vote, but have not set
dates.
But it is the adverse action already taken by sew
er counties, the possibility that some of the twenty
three yet to vote may reject the bond proposal and
the inactivity Of the remaining twenty-six, that
cloud the Iowa plan. as compared with Minnesota
trunk system entirely under state control. There is
nothing in the Iowa plan to insure continuous paving
Of ! trunk highway from border to border.
Continuance, for instance, Of Minnesota's Trunk
Highway No. as paved highway from the north
ern Iowa line to the Missouri line cannot be assured
unless every county through which it passes votes
bonds and elects to pave that particular highway,
instead OF group of main roads out from the hub
Of the county seat. II one or more of the seven
counties that have rejected the bond proposal is
on the Lincoln Highway westward across Iowa.
there will be countrywide gaps in the paving Of Lin
coin Highway. To the state highway commissioner
is given control over the work where It is to be
DONE but he cannot compel paving where county
does not vote to bond and pave.
Iowa's desire to pave itself ont Of the mud IS
laudable; Minnesota, with well-established trunk
highway scheme. lacking only in proper financing
for immediate statewide paving, will congratulate
it, nsfghbor to the southwark on It's enterprise.
But We Minnssotans, with all our enforced dsiay
n more extensive construction incline 70 our own
scheme Of complete state financing and control q
bstter shifted than Iowa's to continuity of pave
meTts on the trunk highways. ].
