MORE CASH-LESS BONDS

The Redwood Sun says: wonder
how long the Minnesota Legislature
will continue to see millions OF dol
lars wasted for crawling the state
highways when this big upkeep could
he eliminated by issuing bonds to
hard surface state highway arteries!
lust consider what the coming gener-
ations will receive in the way OF public
highways as compared with cattle
trails the pioneer empire builders had
TO contend with. Why not pave the
highways even if some of the debt
remains for the coming generation TO
help pay OFF,"
The above is good example OF a
smile on the face, loud shouting, but
little thinking. The Redwood Sun S
| article sounds like all our troubles are
| over if only the roads were paved.
In the first place it costs about
$50, 900 per mile to pave. Ii we hav-
emit the cash to pay for it. we will be
obliged to do as the Sun suggests
bond the state and pay the bill in
that way. The interest at so on
$50, 900 is $500 annually. If the traf-
fic is not too heavy, a good gravel roat
can be maintained at the cost OF
| 81, 800 per year.
There has been plenty bonding il
the past and let US not be too wilC
about that stuff again. Many schCo
districts are still suffering under the
burdens of big bond issues. The com
ing generations will have plenty PROB
lens of their own without us shifting
any more on them than is necessary
A little more pay as we go is gOot
plan to adhere to. Another thing
pavement will wear out some time.

NO CANNING FACTORY
BUILDING THIS YEAR

Inquiries have been coming in to
the American regarding the status
of the proposed local canning factory
If the building is to be put up this
year-the inquiries coming from
neighboring towns as well as from
more distant communities.
Speaking to an officer of the local
organization this morning a repre-
sentative of the American was in
formed that the building will not be
erected this year There are likely
several reasons for no building being
put up this year and the canning
started, the principal one being the
shortage of capital. Some machinery
has already been purchased and de-
livered here, and option on a location
for the factory has been arranged for.
Some acreage of cabbages and carrots
were contracted for by the local COM
pany with farmers in the community.
These products will likely be shipped
to ST. Cloud this fall and there canned
by the Bars.

AIR PIONEER DIES

Wednesday morning of last week.
marked the passing of a world-known
figure who had given the greater part
of his life to the promotion of avia-
ton, when death took the soul Of
Glenn H. Curtiss of Buffalo N. Y.
Mr.. Curtiss was comparatively
young man being only SO years of age
at time of his death but in those
years he had crowded much for the
progress of the world. He was large
ly responsible for the rapid growth
of aviation having nurtured that
young science in its embryo state
until it took form, and himself made
practical experiments with flying ma
chimes being also responsible for the
famous V-type motor of which a
similar design is used in airplanes
today.
His life has been terminated here
on earth but his deeds will go on liv-
ing to help the newborn flying in
dustry.

THE DETERMINATION TO WIN

A few years ago it was considered
very difficult for anyone to swim the
English Channel, Il distance of some
20 miles in cold. treacherous water.
1t was finally accomplished by man
and then young girl and since that
time several have done likewise.
Lindbergh flew to Paris and a few
others have flown across the Atlantic.
In 1892 Columbus made the crossing
OF the Atlantic from the old world
and discovered America in the face
of great obstacles. and proved to the
people and his crew that the earth was
round and that they would not fall
off the edge. Before that time very
little venturing on the ocean at great
distances was done, but since that
time much progress has taken place.
Until just recently it was con-
sidered marvellous for an airplane mo-
tor to continually function for 100
hours. week or two ago two men
STAYED in the air over 500 hours
with their motor running continually
All this goes to show that the incen-
tive is needed to urge mankind to dc
great things. In other words, if 4
goal is set. progress is bound to take
place. If one wishes to attend the
state fair and thinks strongly enousf
from now until the time comes. AM
makes preparations for that even,
his wishes are most likely to succeed
Thus il is with any undertaking il
the business world or in pleasure. tn,
determination to do is governed b!
the goal set.

PREACHING VS.. PRACTICE

Brainerd Tribune: Consistency,
Thou art Jewel" came to mind the
other day as we gathered up a lot of
hand bills, that had been deposited on
the front porch, during our absence
We were urged to patronize home
business men, by a bill printed in
Grand Forks: another bearing the
trade mark of a Twin City printery
told the merits of some article manu-
featured there, while a paper printed
in small town in Georgia. dis
tributed by local merchants. warned
of the evils of the chain stores and
the dependability of the home town
merchant.
What was our reaction TO this?
Just the same as yours. We just
couldn't help thinking that if they
would practice as they preach. folks
might pay attention to their sermons.

Former Vice President Chas. Dawes:
IF you work in a town in heavens

well for it. Stand for its civic and
commercial supremacy. IL you OBJ

help, why quit the town But as long

MIDDLE STATES FOR INDIE
PENDENCE

California is one state that has
received much publicity. and to be
sure il is n beautiful state in spots
as related by the many visitors who
have been there. and as related BY
historical facts. The beautiful flow
ers, the green lawns, and the COM
modious houses along the beautiful
ocean drives. and all that would DE
much better il il were more uni
versally owned. Those beautiful
places, however. are more for the
few and for the masses to gaze upon.
A man who is good observer an |
who was in California few months
ago. wrote the American as follows:
California is beautiful. but the mid
die states is the place for the COM
mon man who wants to be independ-
ent. and own the place where he
lives"

III COULD BE WORSE

Whenever you feel blue and think
times are bad, and things are going
against you, it would be well to take
stock of some of the current hap
penings in other countries, as for
instance the recent earthquake in
Italy which to date has totaled well
over 1000 deaths.
These people have not only lost
their homes, but also their lives, their
relatives mourn them because of their
passing. They, themselves, have lost
dear ones and practically all their
own worldly possessions. Their out
look into the future is very gloomy
a. the present time. Many of them
are suffering with diseases that ac-
company such disasters.
What is a temporary business de-
preston compared with conditions
such as these? What is there so bat
that it cannot be worse?

A MIX.UP

The Watkin-Bamberger baby tangie
in a Chicago hospital is causing quite
little stir, and now comes the an
nouncement that the parents on the
ne side are bringing suit for 100000
for lost identity. In a maternity
hospital there are, of course, many
babies at one time and this seem
to be a case where the youngsters
were tagged incorrectly. The OLD
fashioned way of having the child
born in the home evidently Is the
safest, for there it is usually one al
a time, and should it happen that two
arrive they are twins and anyway be-
long to the same family.

cow TESTING IMPORTANT

In another column in this issue
of the American appears an artlcle
written by H. r. Searles. of the Uni
yersity Farm, on statewide COW test
ing. which move has the hearty ell
dorsement of this newspaper. In the
article Mr.. Searles brings out the
fact that to know a cows production
is to build up ones herd to the eX-
tent that it is possible to keep fewer
cows and at the same time realize
much more returns in profits. IN
other words, COW testing is the med
ium between a profitable herd ano
