Butter Market Unsettled
During the Past Ten Days
Hens Are Not Laying But Egg
Prices Are Unsatisfactory
Poultry Lower

The butter market during this
week has been unsettled, as the
production of butterfat and manu-
facture of butter has continued
heavier this week, than last and
during the same period a year ago.
Surplus stocks are being transfer
red to storage. Speculative buying
has not been active and quotatio nS
have worked lower.
The Chicago butter market 90
score Standards today is 80 cents,
a half lower than Monday. The
New York market on 90 score Ex-
tras is 42A to 42h cents, quart
er cent lower than Monday Of this
week.
The production and receipts of
eggs has continued to show a
marked decrease. Owing to warm
weather in most sections of the
central west, general quality of
eggs is irregular and this situation
is being reflected in the actual val
ue of eggs. To large extent, the
active consuming demand is cent
ering on the higher quality of eggs.
The market situation at this time
is unsettled and quotations have
worked lower. I
Chicago egg market ON Firsts to-
day is % to % cents AIS compared
with % " to "a cents on Monday.

York market shows quotations to-
day "a to PAN cents against "a to

Under the direction of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, Uncle Sans indebtedness is being rap
idly reduced During the years and 10
months prior to July l, 1927, when the debt of the
nation at it's peak, nearly nine billion dollars
has been paid, which even the most carping critic
of Mr.. Mellon must admit is quite tidy sum. The
debt reduction during the next fiscal year will be
still greater. In this period the tax burden the
individual has been greatly reduced and undoubted-
ly the forthcoming congress will make still further
reduction. The late President Harding respon-
sible for legislation putting Uncle Sans business
budget basis. The plan worked out by Chas
Dawes, now Vice President of the United States.
This immense saving has been worked out by Re-
publican president and Republican Congress. The
people whole pretty well satisfied with the
progress being made, and perhaps that is the main
reason why there is increasing insistent de-
'mand that President Coolidge stand for renomina-
ton &or his second term at the National convention
next year.

at the head of the lakes to the cit
les on the iron range, a district
Whlch produces two-thirds of the
iron ore mined in America.
Now not only are these two
stretches of pavement connected
into a highway $50 miles long, but
these two regions, so widely diff
terent in their resources and pro
ducts, are brought closer together
Northern and southern Minnesota
have much in common, but they
also have different interests and
different viewpoints. If this new
highway will bring the people of
the southern and northern counties
closer together, give them better
acquaintance and clearer under
standing of their common interests,
it will be worth all that the new
highway cost.
"But whether it does or not,
the saving in road maintenance
alone will bring large return Oh
the investment. In addition to
this, there is the saving in wear
on vehicles and tires, the saving in
fuel, the saving in time, and the
reduction in traffic hazards.
Number one, with its heavy
traffic, has been one of our most
expensive roads to maintain. Com
pletion of the pavement will make
these maintenance funds avail
able elsewhere. 1t will also bene-
fit adjacent roads, for traffic which
should normally take Mo. has for
several years overfowed on No. 5
and on various county roads, be-
cause No. 1 has always been over
crowded and it was impossible to
maintain it in good condition be-
fore it was paved.
"Thirty railroad grade crossings
have been eliminated between st.
Paul and Duluth, nineteen by re-
location of the road and eleven by
grade separations. 1t was neces-
sary to build 3S miles of entirely
new road, to avoid grade crossings,
sharp turns and -sinkholes, but the
additional safety made this well
worth while"
The pavement from St. Paul to
Duluth cost nearly $5,O00,000. Its
cost from White Bear to Carlton
was SO, 100000, an average of less
than $4,000 per mile, including
grading, bridges and right-of-way
! From st. Paul to White Bear anG
from Carlton to Duluth the cost pei
mile was greater, due to widen
roadway and steep grades, but
about half of this cost was borne
by Ramsey and. st. Louis counties
The 1924 traffic census, be-
fore construction of the St. Paul
Duluth pavement was started
showed an average of LOO cars
per day where traffic was lig'htest
An average of more than 1900
cars per day after the pavement is
opened would not be surprising.

A writer who had visited the Black Hills and
interviewed President Coolidge found the Chief Ex-
ecutive to be an Ordinary man." This statement,
OF course was all that necessary for Frank Day

zens to contemplate" The Herald editor in wand
ering about for over a half century has come to
know quite intimately several sizable men, and we
have found them to be ordinary fellows. They
don't profess to be anything else. If you will look
about you will discover that in many cases it's the

Designation of several stretch
es of trunk highway as 'tarterial
highways" will be made soon, &C
cording to announcement by Com
missioner C. M. Babcock. When
the new routes are added to those
previously designated, the follow
ing routes will he protected by
"Stop" signs:
T. H. No. from St. Paul to
Duluth.
T. H. No. 1 from st. Paul through
Owatonna.
T. H. No. 3 from Minneapolis
through Sank Centre.

through Excelsior.
T. H. No. IL from Minneapolis
through Excelsior.
T. H. No. ~ from st. Cloud to
Brainerd.
T. H. No. 5 from Minneapolis
to Pennington.
Before making the designations,
Mr.. Babcock communicated with
the authorities in the cities and
villages affected and received as
surances of cooperation in en-
forcing the stop orders.
In addition to the trunk roads
made arterial highways by state
order, many poctions of the trunk
highways have been made arterial
highways by the municipal au-
thorities. Where the designation is
made by the state, the highway de-
pertinent furnishes and erects the
"Stop" signs.
Additional routes may be desig-
mated later, but the state highway
department does not wish to make
a road an arterial highway unless
there is heavy through traffic and
all towns on a continuous route
Iagree to aid in enforcement of the
order.
i Designation Of a street or high
i way as an arteriaI road whether
| by state or slty, gives no special
privilege to traffic on that road.
| It is intended solely to PIE rent ac-
| cidents which C-cur when drivers
i from a side road cross or enter a
heavily travelled highway without

highway must observe the same
regulations as to speed, right of
