BIDS ASKED ON 3
GRADING PROJECTS
Minnesota Highway Department Also
Calls for Figures on Several Gravel
and Shoulder Jobs.

Bids on three trunk highway grad
shOuldering jobs will be received by
the Minnesota Highway department
June 80, Commissioner c.. M. BabcOck
announced this week. The proposed
work will bring the years grading
program to a total of $685. miles.
With all doubt removed as to the
legality of issuing the full amount of
bonds authorized by the Legislature,
the construction program will proceed
as originally planned, and further let
tings of grading and other work will
be announced at frequent intervals
during the summer.
One of the proposed jobs is a re-
location of T. H. No. II, between Cook
and CussOn in st. Louis county, to
hook up with another relocation pro-
ject previously announced, between
Cook and a point 16 miles north of
Virginia, on which bids will be re-
ceived June 16. The two projects to-
gether will effect distance reduction
crossings and several sharp turns.
The largest job, in yardage of dirt
to be moved, is relocation of T. H.
No. IL, between Excelsior and Hop
kins. This route, although usually
carrying the heaviest traffic of any
trunk highway in the state, is still
run over an old winding road which
so far has served as a temporary
trunk highway. The new route will
be north of the present route, and in
nearly straight line. The section
from Hopkins to Minneapolis city
limits will be built later.
A LIS mile grading job on T. H. No.
GA will eliminate a jog on this route
at GAINESVILLE, cutting the distance -
mile, removing three sharp turns, and
replacing one grade crossing with an
underpass. No. GA is being paved this
year from a point near GAINESVILLE to

STA to a packed house at the Brotherhood Hall.
Two days later he spoke about Ghandi and India
in the church. Rev. Hojbjerg is a first class
speaker he has a remarkable memory and knowl-
eoge of the subjects on which he is speaking, had
read everything available and could refer to doz-
ems and dozens of books. Here man, min
lister of the church, recognized and looked upon as
one of the very brightest of his class-a heavy
weight man who has for years been the prin-
cipaI of the Danish Lutheran college of Des
Moines, Iowa. This man, who knows what he is
talking about, comes out here and tells us that if
this world is going to be saved from complete de-
structon it is the Russian people who are going to
show the way out
In speaking about the religious situation in
Russia, Rev. HOjbjerg said something like this:
"There was never time in Russia when the Car
and the church did not work hand in hand for
the purpose of exploiting the people and keeping
them in misery and ignorance-is it then any won
der that they hate the church and teach the
children not 10 have anything to do with t-when
the church always gave them stones for bread?
"And STILL" Rev. Hojbjerg said, eff Christ came to
this earth today, it is question if he would not
point to the Russian people and say: These people
my people"
Hans Hojbjerg, son of Rev. Hojbjerg, spoke
in the Dagmar church in favor of communism and
socialism Sunday afternoon. The church was
overcrowded with people. Young Hjobjerg is a
bright and brilliant young man who has recently
graduated from Columbia university. He well
posted on the subjects which he spoke and spoke
well, and the big audience applauded, which is
something unusual to do in a church, but the
crowd simply could not help themselves They had
to do i'll -
Speaking in the very church on subjects like
Communism and Socialism is something new, and
keeping church-going crowd Ointerested in the
subject they throw all traditions overheard and
sit there and clap to their hearts content is
thing never heard of before. There is something
in the air and most people do not know just what
it is.

A CHANGE IN THE ATMOSPHERE
By HANS RASMUSSEN

OOING TO MEETINGS is a kind of habit with
IN me and sometimes l see things in little diff
ferent light than others do To me meetings
are getting to be more and more interesting right
along-not so much the speakers the crowd.
At the time the delegates just returned from
a trip to Russia, spoke in the Farmer-LabOr Tenn
pie there was big crowd Some had travelled
over a hundred miles to get there and Others did
pot take the trouble of walking few blocks. The
big audience sat there for four hours and listened.
They asked questions, wanted 10 hear more At
that meeting there was not mainstreeter present!
No, why should there be? 1t not a CONNER
cial club meeting or a r. T. A meeting and no
soft soap was handed out. There nothing said
about selling prunes about Canada-Mexico
trails. 1t was meeting in which they were not
Interested meeting where people with brain
met and discussed the most burning world ques-
ton of the day. The question of how people could
live in peace with one another on this earth and
live without being robbed blind by a few greedy
grafters.
Of course a mainstreeter would not be inter
ested in doing away with robbery and graft. They
are for Hoover and the system he represents;
they can't that the present system is walking
right over them and some day soon when the
steam roller has flattened them there will be
left with place to go and will be wondering how
it all happened. If any reforms for the better
going to take place it is not going to be
brought about by the people living on main street.
At the farmers picnic at Brush Lake there
was another big crowd. When the speaking start
ed everybody wanted to get to the front men,
women, young people and even the chidren-all
wanted to listen. They were short of seats and
hundreds of men stood straight up and down for
over three hours-it was hot day too, but they
never moved. The speakers gave it to them
straight from the shoulder and they liked it.
What l call the most interesting meeting OF
the season was held in the Dagmar country in the
first part of June. Most interesting from the
standpoint of the speakers, the crowd they spoke
TO, the subjects they spoke on and the place they
spoke from.
On June 9Th Rev. HOjbjerg spoke about Rus

ton do you call it when they
meet in behalf of the taxpayers
and ask the commissioners to
give the county printing to
the lowest bidder and the COM
missiOners tell them to go home
and slOp the hogs, or sOmthing to
that effect.
One little thing happende at
the Saturday meeting which
would almost make anybody re-
sign. Everybody is hOllering a.
bout cutting down expenses
that's about all you hear. Then
comes along Miss Halle Wheeler
with a letter in which she offers
10 keep the library open after
moons and evenings for SIS per
month and asking that the T. A.
recommend her for the job. The
present librarian and her assist
ant got $135.5O last month. Miss
Wheeler has run the library for
a couple of years and no one ever
heard a complaint about her
work. Here was a case where
the taxpayers could get just as
good service for about half tbs
price and a motion was made that
the application be recommended.

Then the sheriff got up and VI
those present that they must \
fair and must investigate. TIA
is, they should find out what II
commissioners and the librsr
board thought about it before y
tiOn was taken. The motion VA
carried by a small majority. n
anybody ever presents the reUE

he is very likely to be told 10 =

is not nOn-pOlitical and can not
be. You join not for the fun but
for the purpose Of protecting
your economic interest The only
way you can protect your inter
ests is by electing people who will
help you do It, and right there
you are in politics.
The mainstreeter's interest is
not the same as the farmers. Be

he is there to skin the farmer al

woke up yet. If that time ever
comes a joint T. A. might work
successfully. AS it is there is not
room for the explOiters and ex-
plotted in the same political or"
ganizatiOn.
CRITICISM probably had some
thing to do with the two officers
resigning but anybody stepping
out in the hmelight nearly al
ways gets it. Some get SO used
to it they rather like it. What
little criticism the Producers
News has offered from time TO
time was not offered with the in
tentiOn of hurting anybOdy's per-
sOnal feelings and we hope it
has not been taken that way.
Our objections have been that
the T. A. did not get to the bot
tom of things-tried to be nice
to everybody and just hated to
step on anybOdy's toes, when the
toes belonged to someone in of
flee. Let's illustrate that with
an example:
In his report the state examine
er accused the county commits
siOners Of canceIling Peter Mar
rOn's taxes and recommended a
suit be started against the com
missiOners. for recovery of that
money. The T. A. investigated
and was told by the commission
ers and Niels Madsen that the
examiner was an old fool and
Dan Olson was made the goat
He was the one who had giver
