Avoid Congestion State
Bulletin Tells How
Highway Department Gives Routes
Which Avoid Crowded Down
Town Districts

How can we avoid going through
the congested districts in the Twin
Cities. This question is often asked
by motorists in Sank Centre, es-
pecially during State fair week. A
bulletin from the State Highway
department gives several sugges-
tions which may be helpful. The
routes suggested, says the bulle-
tin, are in some cases longer and
in some cases shorter than going
through the st. Paul or Minneapo-
lis downtown districts, but they
save you from going through the
heaviest traffic.
Motorists coming from the north
on trunk highway No. l may take
No. SO at White Bear, and those
coming on No. 3 or No. 5 may take
No. 62, from Anoka through New
Brighton. Both No. 81 and SO 60
directly to the fair grounds.
Those who come from the east
Nos. 8, IL and As can turn right
at Earl streets to Phalen Park,
and then follow Wheelock parkway
to Como park then go west through
the park to the fair grounds.

County Auditor Receives
Hunting Licenses fer 1927
Tho Courages Can Go Hunting
for Bear-Ciosed Season On
Deere and Moose

For the first time in the history
of Minnesota licenses will be is
sued this year for the hunting of
bear. This is a new. feature of
the game laws, and is result of
bills passed by the recent session
of the legislature. In past years
bears were included in all big game
licenses, but this year, with the
season on deer and moose closed,
a special license to hunt bear has
been provided.
County Auditor Nick Thomey
now has a supply of application
blanks and licenses, both for bear
and small game. Bear licenses
cost $500 each, and small game Ii
censes 81. 90. The season for wild
ducks and prairie chickens opens
September 16, with the season on
ducks lasting until December 81,
and on chickens until September
80.
Reports from around the coun-
try indicate that there is a large
number of local ducks, with condi-
tions favorable for good hunting
this fall.
Varying reports as to the num-
bers and size of the covies of chick
ems have been received. In some
localities it is said covies are fairly
numerous and several to the COW
les but in other places for reasons
unexplained there are practically
no chickens. The hunter with a
good dog will have little trouble in
finding the limit of these desirable
game birds.
There will be no open season on
cartridges this year. This game
bird is nearly extinct in some local
tiles, and it will be several years
before the woods will be well
stocked again.
Gray and fox squirrels may be
taken on and after October 18th,
but there is a closed season on
black squirrels.
There is no open season this
year for the taking of deer and
moose.

on Nos. 10 and IL can pick up one
of the Minneapolis parkways near
Glenwood park or Calhoun, fol-
low the Victory Memorial drive
around north Minneapolis and st.
Anthony parkway and Larpenteur
avenue to the fair grounds.
Those coming on No. IL may, if
they prefer, take No. 81 from
Chaska to Shakopee, No. 5 to Lynn
dale, No. So to Fort Smelling, and
the river drive, Ford road and
Smelling avenue to the fair
grounds. The route through Fort
Smelling may also be followed by
those coming from the southwest
or south on Nos. 5, so, and 10.
Motorists on No. / from the south
may go over the new Mendoza
bridge over the Minnesota River,
then turn right and cross the Mis-
sissippi River on the Fort Smelling
Bridge and then left past the Ford
plant, and the Ford road and Smell
ing avenue to the fair grounds.
These short cuts will also be
helpful lat other times of the year
when you want to go to st. Paul
without going through Minneapo-
lis, or to Minneapolis without go
ing through st. Paul.
In another issue we hope to pub
lish list of belt line routes
which may be used by those who
want to go around both cities il
travelling between northern ano
southern Minnesota.

obey Traffic Laus
| PreUent Accidents
Parking On Highways

The section of the new traffic
law governing parking is clear and
definite. 1t says:
No person shall park or leave
standing any vehicle, whether at
tended or unattended, upon the
paved or improved or main travel
ed portion of any highway, out
standing of a municipality, when
1t is practicable to park or leave
such vehicle standing off of the
paved or improved or main travel
ed portion of such highway; pro-
vided, in no event shall any per-
son leave standing any vehicle, up
on any highway unless clear and
unobstructed width of not less than
fifteen feet upon the main travel
ed portion of said highway oppo-
site such standing vehicle shall be
left for free passage of other We
hlcles thereon, nor unless "a clear
view of such vehicle may be OBJ
tanned from a distance of 200 feet
in each direction upon such high
way"
Failure to observe this section of
the law not only causes danger
and delay to others, but it may re-
suit in serious damage to your
self or your car.
Exceptions to Parking Rule
Another paragraph in the law
provides that TIE rule against
parking on the main travelled por-
ton of the highway shall not ap-
ply to any vehicle which is disabled
while on the highway in such man.
ner and to such extent that it is
impossible to avoid stopping and
temporarily leaving such vehicle in
such position.
This paragraph is as strong in
what it does not say, as in what it
says. 1t makes it clear that it is
not permitted to stop and make re
pairs on the roadway if it is pos
sible to move the vehicle to the
side of the road. Unless there is
broken wheel, most machines on
level road can be pushed to the
side by one or two persons. For
safety sake, it should he done as
soon as possible.
Parking at Certain Places
The state law prohibits parking
or permitting a vehicle to stand,
whether attended or not, in front
of a private driveway or within
fifteen feet of a fire hydrant OF
the entrance to fire station nor
within twenty-five feet of the in
tersection of the curb lines, or if
none, then within fifteen feet Of
the intersection of property lines
at an intersection of highways.
These rules are both for TIE
safety of the public in general.
Parking too close to a fire station
or hydrant might cause serious
delay in putting out a fire. Park
ing too close to an intersection OBJ
structs the view and may cause
serious traffic accidents.

WHY NOT AN AVIATION FIELD FOR
SAUK CENTRE?

The tour which Col. Charles Lindbergh is max
ing of every state in the Union in his famous plane
"we," the Spirit of St. Louis, is going to do much
to promote commercial aviation along safe and sane
lines.
At the present time there is a strong move
ment under way by the postoffice department to
establish AN air mail route between the Twin Cities
and Winnipeg.
Sank Centre would quite likely be on this pro
posed route making the need of official landing
field for this city quite essential
The interest in aviation by the people of this
section was quite clearly demonstrated by the
thousands who attended the airplane circus at the
fair grounds Sunday afternoon and by the hundreds
who awaited themselves of the opportunity to make
a little journey in the air after the show was over
As time goes on there will be other commercial
air lines started and than likely local ndivid-
uals with the flying ''bug'' will the airplane for
business and pleasure.
There isn't as much skeptcism today in the
minds of the average individual as there was about
the automobile which used to hit the 'high spots
at the terrific speed of Is miles an hour
There is land available the city for avia-
ton purposes. The practicability of the aeropane
was demonstrated few weeks ago when F. P.
Minette & Son of Farview Dairy farm shipped a
full blooded bull calf to the new owner by the air
route.
The proposition of official airport for this
city should be given serious consideration very
by the Community Club and the City Council.
In discussing commercial aviation editorialy a
few days ago the Minneapolis Journal said:
The United States air mail is on the eve
of a development with Minneapolis es-
pecally interested. Postoffice Department
officials are looking ahead to cooperation with
Canada by means of air route linking this
City and Winnipeg. 1t would be signif-
cant expansion, with Minneapolis admirably
situated to further its realization.
Today's air mail out of New York City
and other eastern points along the transcon-
tinental route, reaches Minneapolis at eleven
o'clock tomorrow morning. Air mail from San
Francisco, leaving at night reaches this city
before noon the second day after. Both come
through the Chicago connection with the trans
continental planes, to Minneapolis.
With plane to Winnipeg, that and other
Canadian cities would have their American
mail from points east and west of Chicago
speeded up by many hours saved over the slow
er transfer wholly by train from points south
of the border

THE PRESIDENTIAL ACE

With the increasing duties and perplexties of
the President of the United States the ages of the
so-called available candidates for the nomination
by the Republican and Democratic parties are
being quite widely discussed. Statistics show that
the average age of the Last IA Presidents at the
time of taking office was 81.
The candidacy of former Governor Frank
Lowden of Illinois is being strongly pushed by his
friends in Minnesota. Mr.. Lowden will be SO
years old March A, 1929, when the next president
assumes his office. AS excellent material as Mr.
Lowden might. be, to the Herald it appears that
Father Time has eliminated him from the field.
Many men well past sixty will claim that they
''are as just as good men" they ever were. That
is undoubtedly true far their mental capacities
are concerned but they only kidding themselves
when they contend they in their prime physical
ly.
Of all the prominent men mentioned Herbert
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, besides his splen-
did qualifications to make ideal chief executive
of the nation, will be 3d. March 4, 1929-the right
age, judging by the country's past experience.
President Wilson was only Sc when he assumed the
office; Harding was 55 and Coolidge 81. Two
terms killed Mr.. Wilson and the worry of official
life fastened the death of Mr.. Harding. Mr.. Cool
idge has eliminated himself and will retire in fairly
good condition.
The Minneapolis Journal recently compiled the
ages of the men mentioned as candidates. They are

In these days of newspaper consultations it
takes very nervy man to establish second news
paper in village of approximately 1900 popula-
ton. With the initial number of the Fairfax Journ-
al last week Ham Clay proved to the world that he
had sufficient "guts," if his judgment is called
into question. The writer is very familiar with the
temperament of the Fairfax people. They love
scrap. In the "gold old days. there were two sep
arate and distinct Fourth of July celebrations in the
village on the same day. Herb Sherwood formerly
of Sank Centre purchased the Fairfax Standard of
the writer several years ago. Like the average hui
man he is prone to make errors. He picked up a
lemon few months ago when he essayed the de
tense of school ma'am. Events proved that the
scandal mongers were right, and the war of exter.
mination startled. A second newspaper was about
as badly needed at Fairfax second pcstofice.
The writer doesn't presume to hold any brief for
Sherwood, but the promoters of the new venture
will soon wake up to the fact that it takes a pot
of money to make a second newspaper venture pro
ftable in cities much larger than Fairfax. A cam
paign of "sent treatment" of his competitor by
Sherwood will leave the Standard alone in the field
within six months period 81
