hef-broken their platform plank COW

operate their own mighty Muscle
Shoals water power and denied agri-
cultural its needed fertilizer" All that

We congratulate Horace Johnson on
his unopposed reelection to the preSi-
dency of the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad. Mr.. Johnson numbers his
friends by the list of his acquaintance

other source of satisfaction was the re-
election of Thomas Owens as vice
president; c. E. Wachtel as secretary
treasurer; F. A. Clark as assistant to
the general manager and D. M. Stalk
er auditor.
Planting a cross by the roadside for
every person killed in an automobile
accident in the last 10 years, would
mean a cross almost every miles, ac-
cording to a statement by the Ameri-
can Automobile association. The death
toll in the last ten years has been
175,000 and there are 100000 miles of
improved highways. If the death toll
continues at the same rate as in 1927,
there would be more than half mil
lion people killed in the next twenty
years. The statement urges that there
be national effort on co-ordinated
basis to prevent automobile accidents
