FEDERAL HIGHWAY
AID is CONTINUED
Minnesota to Continue Receiving
More Than S2,OOO,OOO Per Year
for Road Construction; Cool
idge Approves.

Approval by President Coolidge of
the bill authorizing an appropriation
of $75,O00,0OO federal aid for high
ways for each of the fiscal years of
1880 and 1881, assures continuation
of the federal aid which Minnesota
has been receiving for several years
past. Minnesota will probably receive
approximately the same amounts as
in the present biennium, the allot-
ment for 1923 being $2,112,595. Total
allotments made to Minnesota from
1917 to 1928 were $21,704,375.
In addition to the appropriation for
main highways, the bill also carries
S7,500,00O annually for building forest
roads and trails Minnesota receives
comparatively small amounts of this.
Making the appropriations two
years in advance allows the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads and the State
highway departments time to outline
their construction programs in adj
vance and have plans ready so that
work can proceed as rapidly as funds
are available.
That federal highway aid is now an
established policy is indicated by the
fact that there was less opposition to
the appropriation in Congress than. at
previous sessions.

that few days after his arrival there

he died shortly after. Physicians think
that the intense emotion and joy
which his first sight of his home

to his death. He had been very ac-

new BID MADE
FOR TOURISTS
American Suggests County
Road B From Sandstone
as Shortest and Best
Route to Summer White:
House at Brule, Wis.

Northern Pine county, including
Askov and the other villages to the
north, will join forces in putting
forth an organized bid for at least
part of the tourist traffic, due to pass
this way to the summer home of Pres
ident Coolidge at Brule, Wis.
1t has been broadcast to the world,
that the proper" route to the sum-
mer white house is via Highway No.
from the Twin Cities to Duluth and
Superior, thence to Brule. That is
not so!
A perusal of the map will show that
the best and shortest route to Brule
is via Highway No. 1 to Sandstone,
thence on County Road B from Sand
stone to Askov, continuous on B
through all of Pine county, touching
Carlton county, through Wisconsin,, to
Brule, and the summer White House.
1t is estimated that fully 40 miles
can be cut from the trip by taking
the route suggested by the American.
Moreover, points would be passed
which would hold great deal more
interest for tourists, than any to be
found on Highway No. 1. ! For in
stance, the suggested shorter route"
takes one through Manitou Falls, Wis.,,
where the famous Pattison Park is
located, with its beautiful and in
teresting scenery.
Those who have talked of "The
Americans" route, have had high
praise for the suggestion, and believe
that if concentrated effort were
made, a great deal of the heavy traf-
fic bound to go north this summer,
could be diverted this way.

National Convention, demanding a
system by which the farmers bar
gaining power can equal that of COM
petitive groups and by which they
can retain their independence Prac-
tically the same plank presented to
the Republican convention will also
be presented to the Democratic con-
vention at Houston.
The convention is literally flooded
with applications for paid or volun-
teer campaign service, many hoping
to find reward for their services after
the smoke of the political battle has
cleared away. There are always a
number of people who follow every
boom, some really competent who
crave the excitement, while others
are merely seeking vain glory. How
ever, luck and favoritism are only
fleeting and truly deserving after all
are those chosen to fill positions OF
trust and confidence during any ad-
ministration.

MINISTER'S BOY is 49,.
KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Rev. and Mrs. Arthur FrOst's Son,
3 Years Old, Dagmar, Mont,
is Fatally Hurt; Father was
Driving.

A very sad accident occurred at
p. m. Monday, near Wisconsin Rapids
Wis, which resulted in the death OF
Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Frost's three
year old boy, Erling, their only child
Rev. Mr.. Frost and his family OF
Dagmar, Mont, had been in Clinton
Iowa, attending the Danish Lutheran
church conference, and were on their
way to Withee, Wis, accompanied by
Rev. P. H. Petersen and Rev. Mr..
Frost's sister of Withee. They had
planned to visit a few days in Withee
with Rev. Mr.. Frost's folks and then
come to Askov for a visit at the home
of Mrs. Frost's mother, Mrs. L. P.
Jacobsen. Only meager reports have
been received relative to the accident
but so far it has been learned that
shortly after leaving Wisconsin Ra-
pids Rev. Mr. Frost endeavored to
pass truck, but just as he was COM
ing up alongside of it, he was crowd
ed over into the ditch, resulting in
the car plunging across to the oppo-
site embankment and smashing up
against telephone pole.
Rev. Mr.. Frost and Rev. Mr.. Peder-
sen were in the front seat and the
former was bruised considerably about
the head and sustained several broken
ribs and Rev. Mr.. Pedersen's condi-
ton was somewhat worse. In what
manner the child was killed is not
known at this time nor to what ex-
tent the ladies were injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. AXel r. Buck and Mrs.
l. p. Jacobsen left this morning for
Withee and will be accompanied from
Minneapolis by Miss Agnes Jacobsen,
to attend the funeral of the little boy
which will be held at Withee Friday
afternoon. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy of many Askov friends
in their hour of great sorrow.

About Is Agricu1turalists

versity of Minnesota and the United
States department of agriculture
These farmers, as members of the
Pine County Farm Accounting Route
have kept accurate records of inven-
tory, of cash received and paid out
of feeds fed, of labor, and of crop
yields. Their records have been sent
to the University Farm at st. Paul
for tabulation and analysis. Ma,.y
valuable lessons concerning farming
in this district have been extracted
from these records. On next Tues
day, June 10, the results of this work
will be presented at the annual torn
meeting. AS the three years for which
the route operated terminated on De
cember 81, 1927, this will be tie

ization and will show the influence
that different factors had on the
earnings of the different farms.
After a picnic dinner at noon, there
will be several short talks on tech
nical agriculture by experts from the
University department of agriculture.
