How many times you see those two words in

And those two words are as welcome as they
are familiar, for they form band of confidence
between the merchant and yourself. They are his

Here is an article that has been described in

Il is easy to understand why that phrase ''as

PRESIDENTIAL RELIEF

1t has long been recognized that the Presidency
of the United States is man-klling job unless the
President is able to place firm veto upon many
of the requests for his appearance at this that
function. AS Mr.. Coolidge recently wrote:
eff he permits himself to be engaged in all
kinds of outside enterprises, in furnishing enter
tainment and amusement to great numbers of pub
lie gatherings, to be the source of inspiration for
every worthy public movement, for all, he will last
in office about 80 days..
Even though he have the firmness to say "No''
to many of these outside requests, the unacceptable
duties of his office strain the Pres-
dents physical as well mental energies.
Practical man that he is, President Hoover has
taken at least step toward relieving himself of
some of this useless exertion by cutting down his
White House handshaking from daily performance
to twice week. 1t is said that he may further re-
duce it to one day out of seven.
That's sensible Why should the President of
the United States be expected to stand for hours
shaking hands with mob.

sAUK CENTRE BUSINESS MEN SHOW FINE
COOPERATIVE SPIRIT

Manager Mullen, of the Caughren Theatre,
has been given splendid practical illustration OF
the cooperative spirit of the Sank Centre business
men.
The gentleman took over the theatre April l.,
and has expended several thousand dollars
ly undermining the house, chief among which Is the
installation of the Vitaphone, the last word IN the
producing of sound motion pictures the purchase
of new projecting machines, and other improve
ments.
On pages eight and nine of this issue OF the
Herald ffty-six of the citys progressive business
men have indicated to the general public they are
standing back of Mr.. Mullen in his plan to give to
the people of this section of Minnesota the best
motion picture entertainment money can buy
Sank Centre is the first city in this section of
Minnesota to install the Vitaphone.
The initial Vitaphone performance will be
given at a matinee Sunday April a, at 2:3O, when
'"The Barker" featuring Milton Stills will be the
attraction.
Mr. Mullen spent six months deciding on a
location to go back into the picture business. Sank
Centre selected because of its modern theatre,
businesslike appearance Of the city, splendid adj
jacent farming territory and villages in every direc-
ton from the city on the splendid highways lead
ing in and out of Sank Centre.
The new owner of the Caughren has located in
Sank Centre convinced that the amusement loving
people of this city and adjacent territory will sup
port theatre furnishing high class motion pictures
and other forms of entertainment.
The Herald is convinced that his confidence has
not been misplaced.

Washington social snobbery is in pickle. Vice
President Curtis insists that his sister, and official
hostess, Mrs. Gunn shall be given the recognition
the wife of the Vice President would receive, in
seating at social functions. The matter was laid
before Secretary of State Kellogg just before ne
retired. His ruling did not meet the approval OF
MIR. Curtis. When Mr. Stimson became Secre.
tary of State an attempt was made to have him
settle the question. Wednesday he gave out
decision stating that the Ambassadors should seat
MRS. Gum wherever they saw fit. Senator Norris
of Nebraska has suggested that the matter be taken
to the World Court at once. Meanwhile Charley
and Dolly are not sure whether Mrs. Gum will be
seated next to some dark skinned ambassador or
will be at the side of an Acknowledged guy from
China At the time of the functions lMr. Gum
may be compelled to eat his dinner off the kitchen
sink. IT'S said Washington society is greatly ag-
tated Mr.. Average Citizen doesn't give hang.

Automobiles Bring High
way Fund $8,976,847
Tax Exacted by Bad Roads in
Spring Months Runs Into
Large Totals

A total of 61O,041 motor We
hicles had been registered in Min
nesota up to April 1, according to
figures given out by the Secretary
of State. Total license fees paid
on these machines were $8,976,-
SAT. At the same date last year
578,261 machines had been reg
istered and license fees totalled
$8,571,149.
At first glance the total looks
like big sum. And to many car
owners the fee of $40 or $12 or
SIS looked like lot of money
when they paid it. But highway
bulletin points out that if some
statistician could figure up the
bad road tax which car owners in
Minnesota are paying this spring,
it would be a much larger total.
There are plenty of motorists who
will testify that on a single trip
they have paid more for pull-outs,
repairs, cleaning car, clothes clean
ing, chains, extra gasoline and
other items, than they pay for
their annual license tax.
Then there is the loss of business
to merchants, loss of perishable
goods which cannot be marketed
due to bad roads, loss to industries
which are tied up because they
cannot get raw material or mar
ket their products, and the expense
of rearranging transportation
methods and schedules during the
spring break UP. Just how large
this loss would be no one knows,
but it runs into large figures.
At the offices of the Minnesota
Highway department is map
showing roads in red where load
restrictions are in effect, and an
Xxx" where they are impossible.
During the past week just about
half the unpaved roads have been
marked in red, and the "X" marks
art numerous. From day to day
the map shifts. Sun, wind and
maintenance work may put some
routes back in the passable col
umn, but the same day the warm
weather may cause "frost boils''
TO appear on other routes. Every
spring there are a lot of roads
that are poor or impossible, and
if it happens to be wet spring,
a large part of the map may be
in the red for several weeks.
Before the trunk highway plan
went into effect, impossible roads
were the regular thing whenever it
rained or showed, summer or whit
er, but as long as the automobile
was mostly pleasure vehicle it
made little difference. In eight
years the trunk routes have been
improved and maintained so that
impossible highways are almost
unknown except during the spring
breakup. The automobile has be-
come an important part of our
daily life, and when the roads are
out of commission, it upsets oul

Some Of the newspapers of the state, particu-
larly those of the Democratic faith, have poked fun
at the Minnesota Plan" for farm relief inaugural
ed by Rudolph Lee, editor of the Long Prairie
Leader, and sponsored by nearly 200 of the better
weekly papers in Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota. The Congressional leaders are evidently i'm
pressed with the merits of the plan as MIR. Lee
was invited to go to Washington last week and ex-
plain the plan to the Agricultural committee of
the lower house. Mr.. Lee acquitted himself with
credit.

whole business routine. Modern
conditions require roads that are
passable 365 days in the year,
but there is still much to do to
bring the Minnesota highway sys-
tenn to that point of perfection.
On many of the routes with heavy
traffic this will require paving,
while on others grading, draining,
crawling and in some cases BIZ
luminous treatment will do the
trick. To complete the system will
cost a lot of money, but the cost
will not be as great as the cost of
bad roads.
