Edward G. Seubert, president of

diana) who last March succeeded
Col. r. w. Stewart as Its chief ex-
ecutive, has just announced a new
vacation plan for that company
which is attracting wide attention.
Whereas in most companies vaca-
tons are given only to salaried
workers, Mr.. Seubert's adminfstra-
ton has given them also to hourly
paid workers on basis Of one
week vacation after five years OF
employment and two weeks after
ten years. The new plan affects
5000 employees scattered over ten
states of the Middle West. With
6,OOO salaried workers already re-
ceiving vacations, the company will
now have II, 600 on its vacation list.
The company's hourly paid workers
had been asking for vacations for
more than ten years but their plea
had been repeatedly denied by the
previous administration on the
grounds of impracticability. "Far
from being impracticable," declared
Mr.. Schubert In announcing the new
plan, I'VE expect to get an appre-
ciable return from 1t through In

c. M. Babcock, state highway COM
missioner, and suggests equipping
q truck with a large electro-mag-
net to pick up nails and wires and
prevent punctures.
Such trucks are used in some 9TH
er states. The idea sounds good.
But Mr.. Babcock has habit OF
balancing costs against benefits be-
fore he spends state road funds. So
he did a little figuring on this mag
net question, and here are some OF
the things considered:
The magnet and the required
electric generator are too heavy
and bulky to be attached to main
tenance trucks or tractors. Special
trucks must be used.
An electromagnetic wide enough
to cover the whole roadway would
be a serious traffic hazard. To be
safe it could cover only half the
roadway each trip.
A high speed truck, travelling 25o
miles a day, would require two
months, including couple of Sun
days, to go over both sides OF each
route in the 1000 mile system. To
cover the entire system daily
would require fifty-six trucks.
If load of old lumber were driv-
en- over a highway, strewing nails
as it went, it would be fine ii one
of the fifty-six magnets followed the
load of lumber But suppose the
load of lumber came right after the
magnet made it's daily trip. Some
of the 1,031 cars which go over the
average trunk highway daily would
pick up all the nails long before
the magnet made its next trip.
Operation and depreciation on
Sc trucks, going $50 miles a day fol
eight or nine months, would cost
more than 100000. The magnets
would pick up only loose iron anc
steel. They would neither pick uI
broken glass, brass tacks, copper
wire, nor would they touch iron OF
steel imbedded in the road surface
With demands coming from every
section of the state for paving
grading, new bridges and other i'm
provements, Mr.. Babcock is no
seriously think about spending
money for electromagnetic Just a
present.
And this is just a sample O
many promising schemes which MI
Babcock must analyse and con
slider.

Old Settlers May Publish
New History Of Todd Co.
Plan Discussed by Association Di-
rectOrs-O Officers for Coming
Year Elected
u,ong Prairie LEADER

1
At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Todd County Old
Settlers association, held at the
Reichert Hotel Thursday evening,
the officers who have served the
past year were renamed for their
positions. Officers and members of
the board who were in attendance
at the meeting are: President, Geo.
w. johnson, of Clarissa; Vice Pres
! ident, F. A. Zappe, of Philbrook;
Secretary, Raymond A. Lee, of
Long Prairie; Peter Wester, of
Clarissa; A. j. Gibson, of Bruce
township, and George Sarver, of
Bertha.
| The financial report of the or
ganization was read and approved
and it was deciced to hold the next
annual meeting of the association
at the log cabin at the fair grounds
on the second day of the coming
county fair. The next meeting will
therefore, be held on August 10,
1880. 0. B. DeLaurier, former
county superintendent of schools,
and A. H. Hendrickson of Kando-
ia township, were also in attend
ance at the meeting and gave brief
but interesting talks pertaining to
the early history of the county. On
motion made by George Sarver, of
Bertha, the executive committee of
the association was instructed to
make provisions for the writing of
history of each township of the
county. This work will be started
in the near future and when the
history is completed it is intended
to print a history of the county in
book form, the same to be sold at a
price which will cover only the cost
of the publishing.
Secretary Raymond A. Lee
pointed out that although there are
at present 122 name plates mounted
on the large steel plate in the log
cabin, there is still room available
for a few more. These may bs
purchased at the usual price of $1(
each and anyone desiring name
plates may obtain the same by see
ing any member of the board o.
directors or by writing to Mr.. Lei
at Long Prairie. Mr.. Lee stated
that since the first annual meeting
held at the fair grounds last Aug
ust, quite number of persons hav,
made application for and received
names plates and that all request
will be filled in the order they ar,
received until there are no NOR
plats available. It is the hope o
the officers of the organization tina
