Seven Headlights in One
Thousand Found Perfect
Records Show That Most Automo-
bile Lights Do Not Comply
With the State Law,

That nearly all automobile head
lamps need focusing or adjusting
is indicated by records kept by the
proprietor of the Speedway garage
at Faribault which is one of the
official lamp adjusting stations
designated by the Minnesota High
way department under the State
traffic act After four months ex-
perience, in which he tested nearly
a thousand pairs of head lamps, he
wrote to the department that he
had found only seven pairs of per-
feet lamps. All the others needed
some attention. In many cases it
was a simple focusing, but many
others needed cleaning, repairing
and adjusting.
The lamp adjuster at Faribault
says that he has been kept busy
day and night testing lamps. He
has advertised in the local news
papers and through other agencies,
calling attention to the advantages
of properly adjusted lamps. This
advertising not only brings him
business, but the car owners who
get their lamps adjusted are
pleased at the improved illumina-
ton. Incidentally it has given
him a chance to renew a lot of old
acquaintance and make lot of
new friends. In the four months
he has had only one dissatisfied
customer "and we are still in
hopes that he will return and
thank us for giving him real
light"

MOOSE LAKE TAKES UP
NEW HOSPITAL PLANS

Moose Lakes hopes for the COM
pletion and operation of the new
Moose Lake hospital, may be rea-
lized, word emanating from that city
indicates.
Minneapolis interests have submit
ted a plan to residents of that city,
whereby they would finish the interi-
or of the building, started some time
ago, and put it on an operating basis.
The offer of the Mill Citians, how
ever, is contingent upon the amount
of financial and moral backing they
can obtain in Moose Lake.
The proposal now is before various
fraternal and civic organizations, and
it is said it is being received ravor-
ably.
Work on the hospital was abandoned
some time ago because of the short
age of funds.

MOOSE LAKE PLANS
coop" CREAMERY
Meeting Appoints Committee to
Investigate Ways and Means of
Promoting Project; Active Cam
paign is Planned.

Naming a committee to investigate
and report on ways and means of pro-
noting the project, farmers of the
Moose Lake region at meeting there
last week, took a stand in favor of
constructing a cooperative cream
cry, according to report in the Du-
luth Herald.
Continuing, the Herald article said:
On the committee, with David
Almquist as chairman, were put the
following: Lawrence Olgren, secre-
tary; Charles Anderson, r. Phalen,
Charles Brandt, E. w. Blomgren, H.
Alverseth, Tom Olson and r. J..
Lewis.
The gathering which was held at
the pavilion, was addressed by ]. Wal
lick of Hinckley, representing the
Land O'Lakes Creamery Assn. He
explained the relationship of the as
ISOLATION to the creamery and cited
figures showing the splendid results
cooperative marketing has secured
for the creameries throughout the
state.
County Agent Aldrich addressed
the meeting on the merits of the far
mers owning their own creamery,prin-
cipally addressed to the farmers on
cooperation and urged that some &C
ton be taken to determine the number
of cows in the territory contiguous to
Moose Lake so that in the event a
creamery is erected, its success would
be assured.
The committee met Immediately
following the regular meeting and will
start an active campaign at once to
gather the necessary data so that if
there is sufficient interest in the COM
munity for a cooperative creamery
an effort will be made to start the
erection of a building this spring.
Moose Lake has a very good cream
cry owned and operated by j. A.
Peterson; this creamery last year
made about million pounds of butter.
The Moose Lake Commercial club
served a free lunch to the delegates
at the meeting.

Gopher Legion
Veterans Boost
Their Nest egg

In his report to the recent Mime
sofa Legion conference in st. Paul,
Gerald V. Barron of Cloquet, as de-
partment finance chairman, told how
the Gopher Legion Gang is living
within its budget and saving $1,000 or
more annually since 1924, putting in
to its sinking fund during 1927 alone,
more than $4,000, it's total nest-egg at
this time being approximately $4,000.
Perhaps no Legion department in
the nation is in better financial con-
ditfon than Minnesota, Chairman Bar
ron declared, stating that while these
savings may seem uncalled for now,
the time is fast approaching when the
earning power of Legion men and wo-
men will decrease and so will the an
nual income of the American Legion.
When that time comes, said Mr.. Bar
ron, Minnesota Legionnaires want to
be in a position to finance their annu-
al expenditures from their sinking
fund.
Annual Legion dues vary from SO to
S. as an average. National and state
dues are uniform at 81 each, totaling
So, but post dues vary according to
expenses of clubs. In closing his re-
port, Mr.. Barron said: This state
ment is dedicated to the unknown and
unsung post commanders and adju-
tants who by attaining their member
ship detectives year after year have
been vital factor in the financial
success of the American Legion in
Minnesota"

Day
At University
Set for Mdy12

Ten thousand mothers of students
at the University of Minnesota will be
invited to attend the fourth annual
Mothers day, set for Saturday, May
18th.
Each year since Mothers day was
begun at Minnesota, between 1000 and
1000 mothers have turned out for the
university's annual "open house."
AS in past years, the morning will
be devoted to visiting classes and
living quarters with son and daugh-
ter, peeping into the fraternity or
sorority houses, or meeting the favor
lite instructors in whose classes the
students happen to be.
Each student who has a visitor will
entertain his or her mother at lunch.
In the afternoon there will be musical
and dramatic performances for the
visiting mothers, and, following them,
teas in the Minnesota Union, Shevlin
Hall, which is the woman's building
on the campus, and in the fireplace
room of the Home Economics building
at University Farm.
The Mothers day dinner will be
made especially attractive this year
if the efforts of the large committee
of faculty and student members are
to count for anything. Speakers will
represent the university and the
mothers themselves.
Dean Nicholson, who has general
oversight of Mothers day, has said
that he expects record breaking at
tendance.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Some time ago it was announced
that the Norwegian America Steam
ship line was contemplating building
a new boat for it's transatlantic pas
senger service, and representatives of
the line were sent to British ship
ping yards for the purpose of start
ing negotiations. Also, an investiga-
ton was pursued in Norway in order
to ascertain whether such a boat
might be built in Norwegian yard.
All these preliminary efforts have
temporarily ceased because the di-
rectors of the line, at meeting held
in Oslo, have come to the cOnclu
sion that the time for launching a
vessel of such dimensions as were
planned in this case, is not propiti-
Gus. 1t is especially, the uncertain
ty of the future of the present immi-
grafton quota law in the United
States that has made the directors
hesitate about any immediate
expansion, and it was also said that
the estimates obtained in England
were considered bit too high.
Trouble i'm American Plant.
Cablegrams from Stockholm, Swe-
den, have been telling of a strike
that broke out in the new works of
the General Motors Corp. in the
Swedish capital; as a result, the
shops have been forced to shut down,
for the time being, although a little
work seems to be in progress in
few of the departments. Apparently
the trouble began when some up
holsterers were ordered by their
union to refuse to work under the
tIree-shift plan, and the company
then took on a group of workers not
affiliated with the union. The result
was that the entire working force
some 1900 men-walked out. In la
bor circles there is an inclination to
consider this strike illegal, and a
settlement is expected soon.

WINDEMERE HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The farm home of Gust Johnson in
Windemere township, was completely
destroyed by fire early Monday NOR
ming, caused, it is believed, by an
overheated stove.
Mr.. johnson had started a fire in
the kitchen range, and went to the
barn to do some chores. Returning
to the house some time later, he found
the woodwork back of the stove in
flames.
Calling his daughter and grand
daughter. who were sleeping upstairs,
he summoned help. Although the
neighbors responded quickly, the fire
had gained such Roadway that in
about an hour the home was in ruins
The smoke was so dense, and the heat
so intense, that only few pieces of
furniture were saved.

NEARLY READY
Paving to Illinois City Will
be Completed by 1929,
Says Report; Highway
Will Give Route From
Duluth, Sandstone.

The first Twin Cities-Chicago pave
ment will be completed in 1929. AT
present there are "A miles unpaved
but the Minnesota Highway depart
ment has let a contract for paving
to the state line at Hudson this year,
and Badger highways, published by
the Wisconsin Highway commission,
announces that 37.5 miles on the
route through that state will be COM
pleted this year and the last % miles
next year.
The route is through Eau Claire,
Chippewa Falls, Marshfield, Oshkosh,
Fond du Lac and Milwaukee. 1t is
not the shortest route, but according
to Badger Highways, the pavement
"Jes' growed up" like Topsy. Con-
struction in the past had to be so
placed as to allow the state to avail
itself of the bond issue assistance of
the financially stronger counties.
There are shorter routes, both
through Wisconsin and around it. On
the route through La Crosse, the
Minnesota end has about 100 miles of
pavement and fifty miles bituminous
treated, and in Wisconsin there are
about 100 miles on this route I'M
paved. On the routes via Dubuque,
Minnesota is doing a little paving
and Iowa considerable hard surfac-
ing this year, while east from Du-
buque there is pavement all the way
through Illinois.
When a paved road is completed
through Wisconsin or Iowa, it will
not be merely a Twin City-ChicagO
pavement, but it will be possible to
ride all the way from Hibbing, Du-
luth, through Sandstone and many
other points in Minnesota, on pave
ment all the way to the Atlantic

Washington
By " ODaley
. ASSOCIATION 9scll

Washington, April 9.-Retirement
may be good for the soul but it is
very trying on the temper of men in
high office. The week has been mark
ell with growing evidence that cer-
tain groups of the legislative body
now feel it is safe to defy the Chief
Executive, especially since it has
been definitely established that he
will leave he White House next
March. The opinion is generally ac-
cepted that Congress would not have
dared to pass legislation considered
Objectionable to the Administration
if there was chance that Mr.. Cool
idge would remain as the Chief En-
ecutive. A man in office and a citi-
zen retiring from public life are two
distinct characters from the stand
point of the political opportunist.
However, there is one advantage
that a retiring President possesses.
and that is the privilege of political
independence. Seeking no office and
only retirement to private life, he
can exercise his judgment freely
without consideration of political fac
tors which would undoubtedly shake
his views on the eve of the campaign
of which he was a candidate. Some,
occasionally, consider the welfare Of
their party and act accordingly.
Season Of Gestures.
This is the season for political ges-
lures. Legislators who would ordi-
narily hesitate in committing them
selves to proposed legislation today
seek to impress their constituency b.
their apparent open advocacy of these
bills. The well known alibi of the
legislator when he wants to appear
non-committal, is to the effect that
he will give the measure proposed by
citizens in his district careful con-
sideration" With Presidential
campaign at hand, the Senator OIL
Representative is rapidly becoming
quite definite in his statements. Usu-
ally he makes a careful study of the
situation and when he realizes that

County Attorney M. B. Hurley,
shown above, has been successful in
writing "Finis" to one of Pine county's
most cold-blooded murders by con-
victing the slayers, Bud Snoek and
Ben Youngquist.
Mr.. Hurley conducted brilliant
prosecution in the cases, succeeding
where at times the odds seemed to
be against him, the defendants MAX
ing categorical denials to most of the
important charges in the indictment.
He overcame these handicaps, how
ever, and thoroughly convinced the
jury of the pairs guilt.
The defense counsel, w. C. Coe of
Minneapolis for Snoek. and Albert
Johnson of Sandstone and j. D. Jens-
void of Duluth, for Youngquist, put
up a hard fight for their clients.
