PORTABLE MAIL BOX
RECOMMENDED WHERE
SNOW PLOWS TRAVEL

Among the necessary preparations
for winter the State Highway depart
ment calls attention to the need of
placing mail boxes so they will not
be destroyed by snow plows. Unless
the mail boxes can be put back so far
that they will not be hit by the
plows, it is recommended that port
able supports be used.
Swinging arms fastened to posts
set far back have proven successful.
Others fasten their mail boxes to a
movable tripod or "horse."
It is impossible for the snow pillow
operators to avoid hitting mail boxes
fastened to posts close to the road.
In heavy storms it is usually impossi-
BILE to see them, and even when they
are visible, it is difficult to avoid hit
ting them with the big plows.
The suggestion for portable mail
boxes is worth bearing in mind on
county roads where snow plows are
in use, as we'll as along the trunk
highways.

LARGE SHARE OF
FUND FOR BRIDGES
Thirty-twO in Trunk System
Closed to Heavy Loads;
Need Replacing

Bridge building is one item which
adds immensely to the cost of max
ing highways adequate to modern
traffic. They must be both wide
enough and strong enough to carry
the large number of motor vehicles
now using the public roads. That
the Minnesota Highway department
has not yet caught up to traffic de-
mands is indicated by the statement
of Commissioner C. M. Babcock that
thirty two bridges in the state sys-
tenn will not carry the loads which
are by law permitted elsewhere.
The Highway department has al
ready spent $5,500,000 since the
trunk highway plan went into effect
in 1921, in building new bridges or
widening and strengthening old
bridges. 1t has built five bridges ov-
err the Minnesota river, one over the
st. Louis and started construction on
one over the Mississippi at Anoka.
Most of the money, however, has gone
for replacing dozens of wooden
bridges over smaller streams which
were entirely inadequate to modern
traffic.
Many of the bridges taken into the
state road system had outlived their
usefulness. Some were very old, the
oldest being seventy years old. But
even many of the newer bridges were
not designed to carry the burden OF
modern automobile traffic. Included
in the list of bridges taken into the
state system were a dozen over the
Mississippi, fourteen over the st.
Croix, and several dozen over smaller
streams.
Most of the larger bridges are still
in good condition. All of them, how
ever, receive regular inspection by an
experienced bridge engineer. Where
bridge is found too weak to carry
the heaviest loads, restrictions are
posted at both ends of the bridge and
in some cases watchmen are on the
job. Through the restrictions the de-
partment hopes to keep the bridge IN
service until funds are available to
build a new one and to prevent loss
of life and property.
To build bridges and approaches
to replace the thirty two in the re-
stricted list, it is estimated will cost
So 100000. In this estimate is in
cluded only half the cost of the in
terstate bridges in the list. But in
addition to the bridges which are un-
safe for large loads, there are many
others which must be widened or re-
located to make them adequate for
present day traffic.

LOOK OUT FOR SPEEDY
NEW CARS WHEN ROADS
ARE ICY OR SLIPPERY

This is the time of the year when
all drivers ought to be on the lookout
for slippery and icy spots on the
highways. The warning is usually
made every year about this time, but
it should be brought home with more
force than ever this year.
During the past season thousands
of people in the state have bought
new machines which run at much
higher speeds than the machines they
formerly owned. Usually it is dam
gerous for anyone to push any of the
newer machines to their limit, but the
danger becomes much greater when
there are icy spots on the road.
Many men who have been hitting
it up at high speed without any mis-
haps during the summer are likely to
come to grief unless they slow down
and keep very wide awake in their
fall and winter driving. At least go
slow until you have tried out your
machine and found out how fast you
can GO around an icy curve without
skidding.

TRI-STATE TELEPHONE co.
IMPROVES PROPERTY
NEAR SPRINGFIELD

The Tri-State Telephone Co. has
just completed a summer program OF
rebuilding a portion of the Springfield
telephone system. Approximately $5,-
900 has been spent in this improve
ment activity.
The main pole lead was entirely re-
constructed and much open wire re-
placed with standard cable construc-
ton which will relieve certain con-
gested areas within the city limits
and also provide better facilities for
the ultimate conversion of the entire
system to common battery service. In
addition, the work included the re-
routing and replacing of new pole
line construction of approximately
three miles of rural line northwest
of Springfield.

husband, causing him to become an
habitual drunkard and running his
health so that they were reduced to

STATE PLACES 33rd

Minnesota now ranks thirty-third
among the states in the average high
way tax collected, dropping from
twenty-second highest in the country
last year, according to an announce
ment made by the state highway de-
partment.
Decrease in the amount of highway
tax was made in 1921, when the cost
of improving and maintaining main
highways was thrown directly on car
owners, the announcement said.
Thirty-two states have higher Ii
cense and gas taxes than Minnesota,
while 35 states still tax automobiles
as personal property. Only IL states
in addition to Minnesota make the
license tax Gin lieu Of all other taxes"
on automobiles.

of the value of alfalfa hay alone and
alfalfa hay supplemented with cot

LIVESTOCK HAULING
SETS NEW RECORD

A new record was established Oct
ober %, when sos truck loads came
in to South ST. Paul with livestock
direct from Minnesota and Wisconsin
farms. The previous record for one
day was 473, established November
20, 1927.
The trucked in stock on October %
included 719 cattle, SAG calves, 3,74S
hogs and 900 sheep.
Good roads have both reduced the
cost of hauling livestock to market
and reduced the shrinkage in weight
between the farm and the terminal
market.

The lady thanked the magistrate for

AS for the Greek merchant, he now
understood that the magistrate had
seen through his subterfuge. He now
declared that he was willing to pay the
full 40 crowns reward, for the money
was indisputably his. But the magis-
trate again told him how It could not
be his. for It did not fit his latest de-
scription of the sum he had lost. The
merchant was thus severely reprimand-

and dishonesty.
Thus was honesty tested and the true
honesty Of the aged lady duly rewarded

A Sermon for Today
God and the Craftsman.
M. REV. JOHN II. GUM.

Text: "See, the Lord hath called
by name Bezaleel And hath filled
him with the spirit Of God, in wis
dom, in understanding. and in knowl-
edge, and in all manner OF workman
ship: and to devise curious works, to
work In gold, and In silver, and in
brass, and In the cutting Of stones, to
set them, and In carving Of wood, to
make any manner Of cunning work. -
Exodus, xxxv.30-33.
Here Is significant thing, q man
called of God, not to preach, but ito
work In gold, and In silver. and In
brass" We think OF the preacher as
being divinely called, but not the
craftsman. And yet God Is just as
much interested IN the craftsman as
trades, all professions have q place in
the divine program. Before choosing
any vocation, sacred or secular, one
should make sure that that Is Gods
place for him. Whatever ones occupa-
ton, he should regard It as divine
appointment.
There Is another significant thing
here. This man was not only called
Of God. but he was filled with the
spirit Of God and taught by His spirit
that he might be qualified In wisdom
and In understanding "to make any
manner Of cunning work" The
thought rather startles Us. We are
accustomed to the idea that God In
structs the preacher In the things that
relate to the sanctuary: but we are
not SO accustomed to the idea that He
likewise instructs the craftsman Ia the
things that relate to the shop. Yet
that Is the idea conceived in the text.
