Danger in Heavy Loads
Emphasized by Officials
Highway Department Calls Atten.
ton to Limits Fixed in Law and
Special Orders

A warning against driving with
overloaded vehicles is contained in
bulletin received this week by the
Herald from the Minnesota High
way department. It calls attention
both to the general law limiting all
loads to fourteen tons, and the law
giving the highway authorities pow
er to limit loads when necessary to
protect roads and bridges.
Acting under the latter provis-
ion, State Highway Commissioner
G. M. Babcock has issued orders
limiting the loads which may 90
over some of the older bridges in
the system. These limits vary
from three to ten tons. In spite
of these orders, which are plainly
posted on each bridge, a steam
shovel operator recently tried ia
drive his rig, which weighed sc
tons, over bridge on T. H. No. 9
which had been declared unsafe fol-
loads of more than ten tons. The

A Crop From your Trees

Planting Of nut trees is in gen.

country, says the American Tree as
ISOLATION. Until within the last ten
years, except in the regions where
commercial nut raising had become
established, the individuals pro-
posal to plant trees for the raising
of nuts was usually met by scorn-
full comment. In some European
countries nut and fruit trees along
the roads are sources of material
profit.

To Be, Not to Do

Go Far Back in History

The origin Of the Olympic games
is lost in antiquity. The official
list of victors begins with CoroebuS
who won the foot race in TIC B. Z.
They were celebrated every four
years, and were at their height in
the Fifth and Fourth centuries B. O.
The games continued until 1874 A. D.,
when they were suppressed by EN-
peror Theodosius. The modern Sc
ries of Olympic games began In
Athens in 1896.

The other side of it is that by keeping

Customers compliment me on the fact

FURNITURE co.
GREETS THRONG
National Firm in Business
Here Since 1900.

The new and greater National
Furniture Company is holding open
house today and Saturday in its
newly enlarged store at 335-343
West Washington street.
The National Furniture Company
was founded in 1900 by Nathan A.
Kahn and Harry A. Kahn, who pur-
chased the old Parker Furniture
Company, which was one of the
most widely known stores of its day.
The Kahn brothers started in a
modest way in the original room
and in a few years enlarged their
quarters by taking over an adjoin-
ing room.
Within a few years the growth OF
the business caused them to lease
the entire space in the two build
ings, consisting of three full stories
and easements. These were re-
walled to conform to the trading
standards of that day.
The owners originated as their
slogan "Out of the high rent dis
trict," which is being used as one OF
the standard slogans Of today.
With continued growth in bust
ness, other expansions were made.
Recently the National completed an
other new addition that increased
its floor space to more than twice
that of the original size, for display
of furniture and household goods.
The management announces that
visitors will be shown through the
entire store and flowers will be given
as souvenirs.

Predicted by Raub.

Use of business methods in ad-

the city's operation cost from 10 TO

to Edward B. Raub ST., city council
president.
THE saving to the taxpayers
probably will amount to- more as
time goes on" Raub predicted.
THE elasticity of the city man.
ager form is a great advantage in
conducting city business. Under the
present form there are too many
hurdles. The present charter is not
fair to a mayor because he is not
given a free hand in co-ordinating
the work of various boards. The
mayor is circumscribed by too many
statutes limiting the boards activi-
ties.
Raub said a saving would result
from pooling city automobiles. At
present each department has cars
assigned to certain jobs, leaving
autos idle when another department
needs a car.
Raub said the city is in better
condition than ever before.
L think people are happy and
well satisfied with the past two
years of city administration" he
said. THE manager form was voted
largely as an outgrowth of previous
dissatisfaction with city affairs"

TARIFF BILL ASSAILED
New Measure Called Even More I'm
fair to Farmers.

BIZ ScriDDs-H0lrGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The
senate tariff bill actually is more
Unfair to the farmers than the pres
eut tariff law, and increases the pro-
tective spread between agriculture
and industry, Chester H. Gray,
Washington representative of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
said today.
Gray said that the bill gives farm
products an average tariff protec-
ton of $3.50 per cent as against an
average to industrial commodities of
1888 per cent. or a spread of ap-
proximately II per cent.
Under the present law, farm du-
ties average 1894 per cent and in
dustrial duties 1913 per cent, or a
spread of about 10 per cent, he said.
