'NUTMEGS DEFEAT
 GLASTONBURY FIVE
Frank HOOIe Is a YeritabIe Stone
 Wall at Center in Game

In the fastest amateur roller hockey game seen at the Stanley Arena rink this season, inc Nut mcgs turned back the All-Amcri- cans of Glastonbury by a to ? score. In the first, second and third periods, play was so fast that it was almost impossible to follow the ball. Frank Hoole, center for the Nut megs, was the outstanding star of the game. He was like a stone wall in his position when it came to get ting by him and he adopted the role of Santa Claus in feeding passe , to his rushers.
 On the other hand, Freddy Hoif was almost impregnable in the go9l and only the hardest and cleycrcst kind of play enabled the locals to score goals enough on him to win the e>Jmc.

Heavy Loads on Highways
To Be Greatly Restricted
Ban on Big Vehicles During Spring
Breakup Benefits Majority
BabcOck Believes

The season of load restriction
and poor roads is with us again.
Just at present the highways in
Stearns county and throughout the
state generally are much better
than at the corresponding date in
any recent year, but Commissioner
c. M. Babcock says that this is no
guarantee that they will remain in
this condition all through the
spring.
There can be no definite assur-
ance of solid roads until the frost
is all out of the ground. In some
parts of the state this may not be
until the last of May. Frost pene-
tration is never uniform. Long
after warm weather comes, the
ground remains frozen in spots
her and there, due to special sub
soil conditions. This prevents the
surface water from draining away
and creates a frost boil" With
heavy traffic, such spot soon be-
comes impossible.
Frost boils often appear when
least expected, when the road bed
seems dry and where there is no

weed, once considered as a possible
source of rubber but long since
dismissed, may yet become a use
full crop plant, in the opinion of DR..
Fisk Gerhardt, of the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station here.
In a report to Industrial and En-
cheering Chemistry, DR.. Gerhardt
shows that milkweed compares ia
vorably with other plants of COM
mercial value, such as fax and ka-
polk. He reports a yield of 80
bushels of seed, $50 pounds of floss,
and one ton of airy-dry stems per
acre. He finds that it's seeds are
rich in oil, that it's seed fibers are
buoyant and do not absorb water
readily, and that it's stem fibers
compare favorably with hemp and
flax.
Analysis shows that the dark
brown seed of the milkweed is SIM
liar in composition to that of sew
eral of our crop plants. It contains
PIP per cent of oil, as compared
with 10 per cent in cotton seed, and
33 per cent in fax seed. It is clas-
sified as a semi-drying oil. BY
bleaching, it is possible to make it
a clear, colorless product similar to
various plant oils now in use as
food.

PARAMOUNT PROBLEMS

What are the most important problems
before the American people today.
In order to get an answer to this ques-
ton the National Economic League, compos-
ed of leaders in all walks of life and holding
all shades of political, religious and economic
opinion, recently made poll of it's national
council.
Several thousand preferential ballots
were returned, with administration of justice
leading in Importance with 2,2O9 votes; pro-
hibition being second with 2,O68.
Crime, farm, relief, taxation and various
subjects having to do with foreign relations
stood high in the list, while education, I'M
employment, child welfare and the tariff
were mentioned by considerable number.
Among the subjects submitted which
were evidently considered of comparatively
little Importance by the League council were
public utilities, national defense, railroads,
lobbying and radio
AS understood by those who voted, ad-
ministration of justice refers to the proceed
ure of our courts, rather than related SUBJ
jects such as crime and law enforcement.
The vote was a protest against the cumber-
some, Anticipated and tedious methods of
bringing case to conclusion.
Again, the Importance attached to pro-
hibition was not an indication of whether
those voting were wet or dry, but merely
their expression that something should be
done about it-stricter enforcement, modif-
cation or repeal.
But whatever it's real relative import
ance may be, it can hardly be denied that
prohibition is the most discussed national
problem just now. It is likewise giving a
good many politicians some uneasy moments.

UNORDERED MERCHANDISE

There is bill before Congress which
would prohibit the mailing of merchandise
to prospective customers who have not or
dered it. For many years it has been the
practice of various concerns to mail out hos
iery,. neckties, perfumes, greeting cards and
the like to lists Of persons likely to accept
and pay for the stuff rather than go to the
trouble of returning it.
This practice is the source of great an
noyance to persons whose names happen to
get on the mailing lists of the firms employ
ing it. Even though there is no legal oblga-
ton to pay for or return the goods sent them
"on approval" most persons will do one OF
the other through fear of appearing to be dis
honest.

precipitation. With sunshine and
wind, the life of the frost boil is
short, but with an April snow, or a
misty, drizzly period, the road may
remain in poor or impossible for a
long time.
During periods of poor roads, the
State Highway department and
many of the counties try to pro-
tect the roads with posted load re-
strictions. Very often they are post
ed on apparently good roads, in
the hope of keeping them passable.
The heavy trucks and buses bar
red by the restrictions usually con-
stitute less than five per cent of
the traffic. If they were permitted
to go through, the road would in
many cases become impossible to
all traffic.
This year the Highway depart
ment will be in better position
than in former years to enforce the
posted load restrictions. The thirty
five new highway patrolmen who
are now training under the direct
ions of Earle Brown, will complete
their school work and start out on
the road on or about April 1. Dur
ing the spring and until the heavy
travel season starts, they will de-
vote a large part of their time to
the enforcement of the load limits
fixed by the traffic act and the
load restrictions posted by the
highway maintenance superin-
tendents.
Whenever any route becomes i'm
passable or nearly so, every poss-
ible effort will be made to inform
the public of this fact, through
posted notices and other means,
Those who try to go through in
spite of these warnings will do so
at their own risk. The mainten-
ance crews have instructions to
spend all their time improving the
roads and they cannot take time to
aid mired motorists. Some years
ago maintenance men were in
structed to pull out mired cars,
but it was found that this practice
