PINE COUNTY GETS
TAX ALLOTMENT
Receives S19,543 From State Aid Tax
and S35,291 From County Aid.
According to Babcock.

Pine county receives its first annu-
al allotment of state aid from the gas
tax fund This money is to be spent
on roads designated as county aid
roads" under a law passed by the last
legislature, following the adoption of
the gas tax amendment last November
The apportionment was made by a
board consisting of State Auditor Ray
p. Chase, State Treasurer j. A.
Schmahl, and c. M. Babcock, commits
siOner of highways.
The allotment is based on an esti-
mate of $2,750,000 as the one-third
of the gas tax accruing to the counties
in 1929. If the actual receipts should
be greater or less, the payments to
the counties will be proportion ately
increased or decreased. All money
coming in before July 1 will be paid
out pro rata August /, and money
coming in from July 1 to Dec 81 will
be paid out pro rata Feb. 1. 1t is be-
lieved that the Aug. 1 payment will
be about One-third of the amounts al
lOtted for the year, due to the fact
that the increase in the gas tax from
to cents did not take effect until
May 1, and also due to the fact that
gasoline consumption is less in the
first half of the year
The law governing distribution of
the gas tax provides that the board
shall consider the mileage of town
and county roads, the area and the
traffic need of each county. Due to
the fact that no state wide traffic sur
veys were available, the allotment this
year was based on road mileage and
area. with some special additions to
certain counties known to have I'M
usually difficult traffic conditions.
Before next year the board hopes to
have more data on traffic needs to
guide them in making the allotment
The minimum to any county is "a per
cent of the total

LARRY HO" IS
SPEAKER HERE
Community Talk is Enjoyed
by Approximately Two
Hundred People; Gunnar
Bjornson Also Addresses
ASkov Gathering.

After expressing his appreciation
this county and at Askov last Thurs
day evening, Mayor L. c. Hodgson
launched into an excellent address on
community spirit and the material
necessary to build community. The
people make community" said Mas
yor Hodgson, as he brought out the
fact that the ones who moved around
a great deal, are always hunting
better community, when the fault
really lies with them. Even though
there be various classes and groups
organized for social purposes. those
classes and groups should never for
get that the community in which they
live should be remembered and not
be made to suffer through lack of CO.
operation on their part, Mr.. Hodgson
intimated, and advised that if the
people must form into classes and
groups, they should always have the
common interest of the community
at heart. The tendency of today is
to divide into groups and if the
thought of each is more for his group
than for the community, then not so
much good will come to the commune
ty, the common interest of ALL Mr..
HodgsOn also told of the friendly and
cooperative spirit which the pioneers
of Minnesota brought with them to
this state and said we should go back
n 10 hot ;,.;t
I'VE all have a right to difference in
opinion, so long as it does not d-
vide u.s. the speaker said, but we
should make it point to get OH
friendly terms with our neighbors and
engage them in regular conversation
and in so doing, we would find it diff
ficult to condemn them.
In speaking of the present, the
Mayor said, Things are not as bad
as they SEEM" and then related the
story of the patient who underwent
an operation in the early morning
and upon reviving from the influ-
ence of the ether, noticed that the
room was dark and thought it
strange that it took him so long
to revive, when the fact was that the
curtains had been drawn in order that
the patient might not witness the fire
which was burning next door, which,
it was feared would cause him to
think that the operation was not sue
cessful. The speaker also brought out
the fact that in order to have a good
community, people should practice the
art of friendship as the pioneers be-
fore us.
No man nor woman has gotten
enough out of life until he has that
spirit of equality which tells him that
all men are created the same as him
self or herself" said Mr.. Hodgson, and
no tariff or law can change human
conditions and that no generation can
think its way, but rather it can love
its way through life. He also spoke
of how wonderful it would be if a
treaty of the hearts of men in common
human affection could be arranged
and that communities could be united

GIRLS SPELL DOWN
BOYS AT PINE CITY
Fact Proven When Camp Fire Girls
Enter Into Spelling Bee With
Boy Scouts.

Girls are still better spoilers than
boys according to the result of a
match between the Boy Scouts and
the Camp Fire girls held at Pine City
last Monday evening. The match was
sponsored by the newly formed Com
munity club of Pine City and the last
two to remain standing in the spelling
match were Theodore Buselmeier and
Lucille GLASGOW. The word, Fictitious"
proved too much for the scout and he
yielded to the last one of the Camp
Fire girls to remain standing.
Preceding the spelling bee there
were several interesting numbers on
the program. Community singing I'M
der the direction of Miss Blake was
the first number and was followed by
talk by the Reverend Thompson.
Miss Bessie Lambert sang a group of
pleasing vocal solos which were well
received. There were several folk
dances by various groups of the Camp
Fire girls and drills and flag sautes
by the Scouts.
Miss Gertrude Kiffe, who has led
the Camp Fire girls during the past
three years, was presented with a
picture by the club, the picture being
the work of local artist. Miss Kiffe
is leaving the Pine City schools where
she has taught the eighth grade for
three years. In presenting the pic
ture, Mrs. Emma Perkins expressed
her appreciation of the fine work Miss
kiffe has done and said that Pine CITY
was truly grateful for her services
and wished her well i'm the future.

New Music Auditorium
II Is Made Possible by GIFT from
an Unnamed AIumnuh

AT the meeting Of the eXecu-
tive committee Of the University
trustees in Raleigh this week
President Chase announced that
an alumnus, who chose to re-
main anonymous, had made a
gift Of $40, 900 for Il music audi
torium and an organ. The audi
tOrium will be in the form Of an
annex 70 the former library,
which IN hencefOrth to be the
music building.
This same alumnus offered the
University 100000 some time
ago, for the purchase Of an or
gan. No suitable place for it
was available. Then, when the
reconstruction of the former
library began, the Alumnus con-
ceived the idea of the addition
and added to his first offer.
The University's architect, A.
c. Nash, in consultation with II.
S. Dyer, T. S. McCorkle, and N.
o. Kennedy Of the music depart
ment, has made tentative plans.
These plans call for a room l0l
by 81 feet, to seat about 800
persons. The stage will occupy
a Space 81 by 32 feet. The
blower room for the organ will
be in the basement, and the con-
struction Of the building will be
such as keep the sound from
the blower from being heard by
thVaudience.

FaStidiOuS Robins
They Denude One Prouty Tree of Ber-
ries, and Leave Other Untouched

= In the Prouty yard, a few feet
from the front door. are two
dogWood trees. For several
years they have had the dis
tinnction of being Chapel Hills
earliest boomers; they usher in
the dogWood season.
One day last week flock of
robins descended upon them and
began to feast on the berries.
But in less than a minute the
visitors deserted one of the
trees completely. leaving its
fruit barely tasted, and con-
centrated all their appetites on
the other. From this latter they
ate all the berries. and then they
flew off. So now the Proutys
have one dogWood with berries
and one with none. TO the
human eye the trees seemed to
the same fruit,
but evidently the robins knew
better.
In a group of holly trees on
the campus, one season, the
robins made IA similar dis
tinction. They took the berries
from all the trees but one.
