Coolidge's History of s.. To
Go 500 Words; 400One Here

While Calvin Coolidge, former
President, is writing a 5OO-word
history of the United States to be
hewed in stone on the Mount
Rushmore memorial near Key
stone, S. D., Prof. Louis Pelzer of
the University of Iowa has put the
story into $50 words. Prof. Pelzer
calls his sketch, 'The History of
the United States in $780," The
text:
Three great European powers
struggled for the mastery of the
American continent for two and a
half centuries, beginning with the
Sixteenth. Religious and political
antagonisms and the rivalries for
trade and territory brought on
wars that eliminated Spain and
France. England then for more
than a decade ruled undisputed
the eastern half of the United
States. But after her long train of
abuses the 100000 Americans
revolted in 1776 to seek indepen-
dence and won it.
FrOEa Colony to World Power.
Europe poured millions of it's
emigrants into the new nation,
whose population in the next CEN
tury and a half increased from
four to 12O millions. Great areas
The Sauk Centre herald., 1930-03-13

of land added in 1903, 1919, 1916
and 1848 extended the boundaries
from the Mississippi to the Pacific
and from Mexico to Canada. In
five foreign wars no areas were
lost. That war with Spain brought
overseas possessions and subject
races: the World war lessened
Americas isolation and imposed on
it world leadership.
New Land, New Opportunity.
Free, cheap abundant, fertile
lands-not conquest or the golden
fleece - drew westward-moving
tides of migration to displace the
Indians, the first occupants. On
pack horses and wagons settlers
moved through passes and over
trails and on keel boats and steam
boats down inland waterways. In
25O years population spread from
Jamestown, the first settlement, to
the Mississippi. In the next half
century population leaped over
and filled in the regions to the
Pacific. On the edges of settlement
developed the most American type,
the pioneer. To the 48 states came
men of all nationalities, social in
heritances and religious faiths to
find equality and opportunity.
Set Pace as Democracy.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1930-03-13

owners increased from $164,OOO, 900
to $627, 100000, he said. Besides re-
lieving the counties of the roads
which have been the greatest bur-
den, the states are also paying in
creasing amounts directly to the
counties.
"The fact that motor vehicle
owners, as a class, are the most
willing of taxpayers means that
they feel they are more than re-
paid by the road service they re-
ceive in return and tax payments
are primarily the result of the i'm
provement of the main roads. This
is the result of the wise policy of
selecting for first improvement the
most important roads. The i'm
provement of these roads has earn
ed a surplus above their cost of
maintenance, which surplus it has
been possible to use for the i'm
provement of other roads in the
order of their Importance. Only by
the orderly process that has been
followed could this result have been
achieved, and it is only by the ex-
tension of this same process that
the roads of lesser Importance can
be progressively and adequately
improved without laying an increas-
ing burden upon real estate and
particularly upon farm property
Commenting on Mr.. MacDonald's
talk, Minnesota Highway bulletin
points out that Minnesota has had
a highway engineer in every coun-
ty since 1913, when a provision in
the Dunn law created this office.
At present the county engineers
have supervision over state aid,
county, and county aid roads, the
State Highway department coop
Grating in furnishing engineering
supervision on the state aid roads.
All these systems are being ex-
panded steadily, and the trunk
highway system may be expanded
after Is per cent of the present
system is permanently improved.
Minnesota ranks third among the
4S states in the mileage of gravel
ed and improved roads of all
classes.

High Music Contest
Music Festival Features of Gather
ing Will Be Stressed This Year,
Director Says

Minneapolis, March 13 - More
than 1000 high school students
from all parts of Minnesota are
expected to take part in the annual
State High School Music contest
that will be conducted on the Uni
versity of Minnesota Campus May
Is, 16 and II.
Practice sheets showing all pieces
of music in which contestants must
be prepared have gone out to high
schools and arrangements are be-
ing made for the fourteen district
eliminations that will be held in
the fourteen towns designated as
district centers. These include
Duluth, Moorhead, st. Cloud, ST.
Paul, Northfield, Morris, Montevi-
deo, Minneapolis, Slayton, CHS
holm and one or two others.
Professor Otto S. Zelner, director
of the contest this year, plans to
emphasize the music festival as
pect of the meeting, along with the
competition, and on this account
has set aside Friday afternoon and
evening, May 16 for special per-
formances, by massed bands in the
afternoon and massed choruses in
the evening. He plans that the
grouped high school bands shall
give a mammoth outdoor concert
on the steps of the Northrop Me-
mortal Auditorium in the after
noon. At night the choruses will
sing in the same building, the pro-
gram being rounded out by the Uni
versity Singers, with the Central
High School orchestra, of Mime
apolis playing accompaniment.
Professor Earle Killeen will di-
rect the choral program.
An improved system of receiving
the guest musicians and of con-
Quoting them to places of interest
on the campus which they may
want to see is also being worked
out.
The music contest was started
five years ago by Professor Irving
w. Jon who ran it until year ago,
when he went to Idaho as assistant
to the president of the university.
Last year Professor A. Pepinsky
conducted the contest. Prof. Pep
insky is in Europe studying this
year and Prof. Zelmer has taken
the reins.
The contest is one of the activi-
ties directed by the General Exten.
sion Division.

Rooted in English common
lay proclaimed in the Declaration
of Independence, and guaranteed
in federal and state constitutions
the nation became the worlds
largest experiment in democracy
Washington and Hamilton estab-
lished the new nation, Jefferson
created it's democratic spirit, but
Lincoln preserved it from the de-
struction threatened by the issue
of negro slavery and four years of
Civil war.
Science Transforms World.
Steam railways begun in 1927
spanned the continent in 1869 and
extended the transportation net
work. Industial centers and great
cities arose where elevated rail-
ways and electric trolleys carried
millions. The internal combustion
engine perfected in the Twentieth
century, afforded automobiles to
reduce space on earth and aero
planes to conquer the air.
Labor saving inventions
chimes for plowing, sowing, and
reaping, Illuminating gas, refriger-
alton, machine production, inter-
changeable parts, and electrical
devices discoveries in sur
gerry, ether, sanitation, and chemi-
cal processes are tributes to Ameri-
can creative genius. Increase in
charity, benevolences, life insur-
ance, and international arbitra-
ton bespokened an improved world.
Cultural Growth.

and religion free from state con-
troll. The diffusion of well-being
permitted the rise of the common
man. Free, universal education
was added by the growth of a read
ing public through newspapers.
The American invention of the
telegraph in 1846, the telephone 80
years later, and the linotype and
allied processes in printing wove
the nation into a mental unity.
With the use of the radio instant
world communication was at

Kilt Not Scotch, Latest

Scotland and England have been
arguing as to the origin Of the kilt,
long believed to be distinctly q
Scotch creation. The English have
the best of the dispute at present by
presenting proof that 200 years ago

while in camp with General Wade,
was commissioned to make the first
kilt. 1t then was called the
"feilidh bag" to distinguish it from

right up until the time you change.
With Iso-Vis, the important reason
for changing oil is not because of thin
ming OUTPUT because it is impossible
to prevent a certain amount of dirt
from getting into the crankcase which
must be removed by drainage.

important advance ever made in motor
oil. Every Standard Oil dealer and serv-
ice station can now supply you.

-Here is the .
complete story of the
important new development
nDN0torOiZ

TT is incorrect, perhaps, to call this
story complete. The complete story
Il would be the record of months of
Work in one of the worlds greatest
Oil research laboratories.
That is past. The important thing
now is to tell you what this new motor
oil will do for your Car.
First of all, it means a tremendous
reduction in the carbon nuisance. New
Iso-Vis Oil actually reduces carbon
formation far below most oils selling
today at premium prices.
One reason for this is the fact that
New Iso-Vis is wholly distilled oil.
Made by special process, its sturdy
body is not obtained by the usual
method of adding undistilled parts of
the crude.
New Iso-Vis also makes possible
better fabrication at extremes of tenn
perature-both high and low. 1t not
only gives better starting, and a free
flow of oil in cold weather, but it does
not break down under high engine
temperatures.
In addition, New Iso-Vis resists diLu-
hon and 1UiN not thin ont in your crank
case. The enormous importance of this
feature cannot be exaggerated. Ninety
percent of all crankcase dilution takes
place during the first 200 miles of
driving. BY overcoming this dilu-
ton, Iso-Vis assures you of fabrication
not only when your oil is fresh but
