Headquarters

Minneapolis, Dec. 20.-Three
hundred potato growers and ship
pers formed their first statewide
mutual benefit association at a
session of the first annual Mime
sofa potato conference here last

The Minnesota Potato Growers
and Shippers association was farm
ed with view toward stablization
and development of a state potato

Headquarters of the newly
formed association will be in Min
neapolis.
The association will be governed
by a board of directors of 13
members, including five shippers.
The directors named to represent
the shippers are: Leo H. Wright,
Moorhead; j. R. Beggs, st. Paul ;

State Office Building to

ment1

st. Paul, Dec. 21-The 1929
Minnesota legislature will be asked
to appropriate 81, 100000 or more
for a new state office building it
was learned here today.
Representative Albert Lager
stedt, 'Sibley county, is prepared to
introduce the new office building
bill, it was said, which would pro-
vide for four story structure ad-
jacent to the capitol.
Ahalf dozen or more state de-
partments are now housed in var
ious buildings in St. Paul, it was
pointed out, many of which are
cramped and repeatedly unsanitary.
Departments now inadequately
housed off the capitol grounds in
clude dairy and food, agriculture,
game and fish, forestry, state board
of health livestock sanitary board.
Drainage, industrial commission,
rural credit board and others. Rent
al and upkeep of these various Of
fees cost the state approximately
$4,000 year.
The proposed new buildings
would provide some $1,000 square
feet of floor space for offices, or
more than ample for the now scat
tered departments and would al
low for additional departments in
the future.

NEW YEARS DAY

Festivals in celebration of New Years Day may
be traced far back 5000 B. c., when the Baby
lonians observed the day in honor of the sun god
Throughout the ages various days of the year have
been considered New Years Day in various coun-
tries, England having observed March rs such
until the year 1852.
In the church calendar New Years Day, COM
ing days after Christmas, is taken as COM
memorating the circumcision of Christ but this
igious significance is almost lost sight of in the
ular observances pertaining to the beginning of
new year.
The giving of presents or good luck tokens
may be traced to ancient Rome and still prevails
in some countries. The Persians exchanged eggs
on that day. Many customs, pagan, Hebrew, Chris
tian and social have been associated with New
Years Day. That of holding 'watch parties to see
the old year out and the year in is observed
by some church congregations, while more hilarious
proceedings take place in night clubs and other
ters of convivality.
By means of greeting cards, written messages
spoken word the salutation "Happy New Year"
is almost universal. Thus the Herald greets its
friends readers, one and all. -

RADIO NUISANCES

1t must have been encouraging to radio fans
to read recent statement by Commissioner Lafount
of the Federal Radio Commission in which he warned
broadcasting stations that certain nuisances being
perpetrated on the public must stop, under penalty
of having their licenses denied revoked.
Among the abuses against which he warned
were deviations from assigned frequency and power
too much sales talk, broadcasting of phonograph
records without announcing them such and infer
ior programs generally.
Further reduction in the number of stations on
the air was declared probable by Mr. Lafount in a
letter to Pacific coast broadcasters in which he said
81 told you six months ago that there were too
many broadcasting stations in this country. 1 am
still of that opinion and sincerely believe that the
character of reception the public wants, and should
have not be secured until the number of broad
casting stations is greatly reduced. This can be
accomplished by the denying revokng of licenses,
or the consolidation of Stations
If the Commission shall further carry out it's
program of reducing the number Of stations by get
ting off the air those which persist in the abuses of
which the commissioner complains, the listening pub
lie will be duly grateful.

Many Meetings Indorse
Proposed Highway Bond
Citizens From Nearly Every Coun-
ty in State Realize Importance
of Hard Surface

Resolutions indorsing the pro-
posed $40, 100000 bond issue for
trunk highway improvements are
getting to be the common thing this
fall. Since election district meet
ings under the auspices of the
Minnesota Good Roads association
have been held in nearly all the
congressional districts of the state.
A number Of local meetings held by
various organizations have also
discussed the highway situation.
All the district meetings and many
local meetings have indorsed the
bond issue and usually the resolu-
tion also approves either one or a
two cent INCREASE in the gas tax.
During the past week, besides the
district meeting at Crookston, there
were meetings at Austin, Grand
Rapids, Wadena, Milaca and
Princeton, all of which approved
the bond issue.

Trunk Routes Show Less
Gravel Miles Each Year
New Construction Offset by Wear
and Tear of Heavy Traffic,
Babcock Reports

There are less miles of gravel in
the Minnesota trunk highway sys-
tenn than a year ago, and this in
spite of the fact that 298 miles
have been graveled during the
year. The annual Inventory"
shows nearly 200 miles less of
gravel than at this time year
ago.
There is an increase in the paw
ed and 'tbituminous treated" mile
age. Since most of the routes
which have been paved, oiled or
tarred during the past season were
formerly gravel roads, this &C
counts for part of the decrease in
the gravel mileage. Whenever a
trunk highway is graded and grav-
eled on a new, permanent location,
the road which was used as tenn
porary trunk is turned back to the
county, and this accounts some
more of the decrease in gravel
mileage.
The greatest factor, however, is
traffic wear. When the reports
are made on the condition of each
route, they show its actual present
condition. Many stretches that
were listed as having ''heavy gray
el' year ago are now listed as
medium gravel" A light gravel
stretch after a year of frequent
rains and heavy traffic may be
just plain "earth."
The status of trunk highway i'm
provement this fall and year ago,
as shown by summary of the
maintenance superintendents re-
ports, is as follows:
Nov. / '2s Nov. '27
Paved ....... 1,022.75 934.05
Bituminous
treated -. 520.87 1885
Heavy gravel 1,418.75 1,463.1O
Medium gravel 1,926.48 2,O03.3O
Light gravel. 1,432.19 1,470.75
Sand clay -. 281.10 278.5O
Earth ....... 330.45 392.8O
Total -. 6,932.59 6,936.35
'The only real advancement
aside from the paving we have
done, is in the elimination Of rail-
road grade crossing, sharp turns,
steep grades and other traffic haz-
ards, Commissioner C. M. Babcock
says. Whatever we do each year
to improve the location and align
ment of our highways is a perma-
nent improvement. 1t will not
wear out like our gravel surfaces.
In the early years of the trunk
highway system, in spiteof smaller
funds, we were able to show SUBJ

have increased, the traffic has in.
