DREAMS COMING TRUE

When Herbert Hoover became secretary of
commerce in 1921 he doubtless dreamed of great
department of the government devoted to the in
terests of commercial life, and possibly envision
ed splendid building to house its many activities.
If so, his dreams coming true
Using the same trowe and gavel with which
President Washington set the cornerstone of the ma
capitol in 1793 President Hoover recently laid
the cornerstone of the $17500.0O0 commerce
building on Pennsylvania avenue, which is to be the
largest office structure of its kind in the world 1t
feet long, 1925 feet wide and seven stories
above ground. There will be more than million
square of floor space and it will house nearly
1000 workers.
To haul the stone for the building would re-
quire train of 1880 according to President A.
E. Dickinson of the Indiana Limestone company,
which holds this greatest stone contract in history
There also will be required 10000 tons of structural
Steel and 100000 square feet of glass for the win
dows Under the cantract the massive structure
must be completed in LOO calendar days, and the
first material is being prepared for the job.
This great building is one of several authorized
by the act of 1926 involving total expenditure of
some fifty million dollars. When this program is
completed Washington will be the most magnificent
capital in the world and of inspiration and
pride Tor every American.

CITY HAS REAL TRAFFIC PROBLEM

Sank Centre is facing serious traffic problem.
Hundreds of farmers visit the city Saturday
evenings and the congestion in the business sections
is getting to be problems of increasing seriousness
Some weeks ago at meeting of the Sank Cen
tire Community Club it was recommended that if the
business men and other local residents would re-
frain from parking their in the most advant-
ageous places Saturday evenings the farmers could
be accommodated to better advantage.
That portion of Fourth Street from the Herald
office west to Oak Street is, perhaps the most haz-
ardous in the entire city. With the parked at
right angles either side of this street the pas
sage way in the center is very narrow-not wide
enough for two cars to meet and pass in safety.
Saturday evening two very careful drivers with
the cars travelling at low rate of Sped endeavored
to pass. On of them caught parked by the
rear fender and yanked it into the street Luckily
serious damage done
If the cars on Fourth street ordered to
park parallel it would make the street reasonably
safe for traffic.
If conditions not remeded a serious acct
dent is almost inevitable all drivers are not as
careful as were the two meeting up with each other
Saturday evening.

sale of the former Borgerding Lum-
Der yards at Melrose and the Mel

ed.
The former Borgerding yards
have been owned by e. N. Schmitz
for some two years, after a pur-
chase of the bushes from the Bor-
gerding family, at that time one
of the largest deals in western
Stearns county.
Mr.. Schmitz also owned the Mel
rose elevator and his entire pro-
perties were purchased by the Har-
Ian company this morning. The
amount involved in the transaction

one as it was accepted without a
great deal of bargaining after the
offer was first broached.-Journal

Medical Association Gives
Sound Advice to Bathers
One Hand Kept Out of Water Will
Keep Body from Sinking,
They Disclose

st. Paul, July 31-People who
desire to go bathing should be-
come thoroughly acquainted with
the water in order to overcome fear
before venturing beyond their
depths. When a person gets PAN
ickly in deep water, he generally
does everything he can do to drown
himself. One of the first things
for bather to do is to win conf
dence and learn how to float.
The educational committee of
the State Medical Association in a
statement today invited the coop
GRAFTON Of campers and bathers in
reducing the toll of drowning in
Minnesota this year. The bulletin
declares that cramps are univer-
sally given as cause of drowning
whereas ignorance about swim
ming and life-saving are the usual
causes.
ut is interesting to know that
one hand out of the water weighs
more than a whole body in the
water, so we should keep our
hands in the water" declares the
bulletin. "A man in distress in the
water can take tip from a land
animal which, when thrown into
the water, sets up running mo-
ton and makes for the shore; all
the human being needs to do is to
get his body in a horizontal plane
and dog paddle to safety"
The Association adopts the in
struction approved by the Red Cross
Tor resuscitating people.
Lay the patient on his stomach.
Extend one arm directly over his
head. Bend the other arm at the
elbow, and rest the patients cheek
on his hand, to keep the nose and
mouth off the ground and free for
breathing.
"kneel facing forward, straddling
the patients legs above the knees.
Place the palms of the hands on
each side of his back, just above
the belt line and about 4 inches
apart, thumbs and fingers together,
the little fingers over and following
the line of the lowest ribs and the
tips of fingers just out of sight.

Real Farm Leaders Praise

Declares Hoover Trying to Garry
Out Pledge to Agriculture
Launching Plans

Chicago, July 28-Action of the
Federal Farm board which brought
together opposing factions of farm
groups after a two-day meeting
here and resulted in launching pre-
llminary plans for the formation of
a $2O,0OO,O00 farmers national grain
corporation today drew laudatory
statements from farm leaders at
tending the conference.
William II. Settle, president of
the Indiana Farm Bureau fedora
ton, who was named chairman of
a committee to further the grain
sales agency, said at the close of
the meeting:
This is the greatest day for ag-
riculture can remember"
Mr.. Settle has been active in
agitation for farm relief and led
many demonstrations at the Re-
publican national convention at
Kansas City, in behalf of the prin-
ciple.
That of which we have been
dreaming for years ultimate con-
troll of marketing farm products
has been realized" Mr.. Settle said.
The prospects look good for the
formation of a corporation which
will control orderly and systematic
marketing. 1t will go a long way
toward. stabilizing the price of
grain.
President Hoover, the farmers
believe, is sincerely trying to carry
out the pledge he made. He called
a special session, the agricultural
bill was passed, the Federal Farm
board appointed and a start in the
sterilization plan has been made"

Bureau federation said. at is a
wonderful achievement from the
standpoint of organization. Co

ton committee will be held here

THE SPEEDY BREMEN

While airplane records of various kinds seldom
hold good for more than few days a few weeks,
ship records often stand unbroken for many years.
Therefore, the transatlantic record set few
days ago by the great German liner Bremen on her
maiden voyage from Cherbourg to New York is
something than just another stunt.
The Bremens time in crossing days, 10
hours and II minutes, hours and II minutes
faster than that of the Mauretana, which has been
the queen of the for several years It is esti-
mated that the caravels of Columbus had they fol-
lowed present day steamer lanes would have taken
50 days to reach the New World.
The Savannah, the first steamer to cross the At
lantic, took 26 days between Savannah and Liver
pool in 1919. In 1910 the Britannia, first Cunard
liner, steamed from Liverpool to New York in IA
days. hours. In 1869 the Brussels made the same
voyage in days, % hours.
Considering the comparative slowness with which
steamer speed has been increased, the feat of the
Bremen is all the more remarkable. It gives rival
steamship companies shining mark to shoot at.

roads. Very often it receives con-
fiicting reports about the same
highway, one person declaring he
found it very good and another in
sisting at was so rough it almost
shook us to pieces"
The INITIATED would naturally
think that one of the two is tell
ing big one." But Commissioner
G. M. Babcock and his associates in
the department, after several years
investigating complaints about bad
roades, declare that good and had
reports about the same road may
both be true.
"Unpaved roads carrying heavy
traffic are never the same" Mr..
Babcock points out when wealth
er favorable, with just enough
moisture to hold the surface ma
terial together, and when the
maintenance outfits have just gone
over the road, a gravel road may
be smooth as a pavement. Within
a few hours, especially if it hap
pens to be at the week end with
its heavy traffic, the same road
may become giant washboard.

plant on Monday, but before it

tenance crews have been over the

when there is a long dry period,
the traffic usually grinds up the
surface so there are several inches
of loose material. This makes
heavy going for any vehicle, and
when cars come close together, the
dust is not only unpleasant but it
obscures the view and creates an
actual hazard. At such times the
surface will not stay smooth even a
few hours after the grader has
been over it, and the maintenance
work does not relieve. the dust
nuisance.
TOO much moisture is no better.
Roads which are properly drained,
graded to modern standards, and
heavily graveled, seldom become
impossible in the summer time
but they become rutted and chop
Ply after rains. In prolonged wet
periods in the spring or fall, heavy
traffic may make the best gravel
road impossible.

THE PUBLIC FORGETS

To the business man who thinks the public does
not need to be constantly reminded of who he and
what he has to SELL the often told story of Pyles
Pearline will bear repeating
In 1904 Pearline cleaning material, was used
by large percentage of the housewives coun-
try, and the company spent 100000 in advertising
that year. Later the advertising was curtailed and
about 1907 it was discontinued altogether the
pany thought the product was so well known that it
did not require further advertising.
Sales fell off rapidly but the owners persisted
In their non-advertsing policy until 1915 when the
whole concern, including good WILL sold for $12-
000 Pearline was dead
