Children's Reading.

The Public Library offers the follow
ing suggestions for Book week:
What child reads probably affects
him more than any influence that
touches him except the people with
whom he associates. Quiller-Couch. in
his book "On the Art of Reading"
strikingly expresses the influence OF
reading, by daily converse and asso-
citation with these great ones We take
their breeding. their manners, earn
thei0 magnanimity, make ours their
gifts Of courtesy high-seated pride,
scorn Of pettishness, wholesome, plenti-
full jovial laughter"
For the Family to Share.
Books having a special quality Of
style will, when read aloud, create word
pictures which stamp themselves in
delibly on the listeners mind.

"The progress made on the state
aid roads during the past year has
been very satisfactory" Mr.. Bah
cock said in making the report.
"The state aid roads do not get
any of the gas tax which is distri-
buted to the counties, but only the
proceeds Of the general one mill tax
plus such funds as the counties de-
eide to spend on these roads. Since
the gas tax diversian went into eff
feet, many of the counties have de-
voted a large share of their efforts
ta the county aid roads, but in spite
of this the progress made in i'm
proving the state aid roads this
year is as great as in the average
year.
although the department has no
supervision over county aid roads,
we hope to have figures later on
the work done on these roads, and
when the figures on all the classes
of roads are combined, I think it
will show that Minnesota has made
substantial progress on all parts of
its road system in the past year."
Total expenditures for construc-
ton on the state aid roads for the
year ended Oct. 81 were $3,131, $50,
of which the state contributed ST.
283,098. Total expenditures for
maintenance were $2,809,587, of
which the state contributed $751;
SOL. Total expenditures in 1929
were $3,5S5,623 for construction and
$2,987 ,43S for maintenance.

State Organization Has +
Made Fine Record
Over 100000 Have Asked for
Eplanation- w. p. Arndt At
tended Banquet

w. P. Arndt, of this city, district
manager Of the Minnesota Build
ing and Loan Association, attended
a banquet at the Nicollet Hotel, in
Minneapolis, Saturday evening of
last week.
This dinner was Of more than an
usual Importance to the man of
small means because it signined
and celebrated the Tooth ar niver-
sary Of the organization Of the f1rsi
Building and loan association in the
United States.
Men who have been prominent in
the building and loan work in thiG
country for a period Of over so years
were in attendance at this banquet.
A recapitulation of the aggregate
business of the building and loan
associations of the United States
was astounding. The latest COM
piled figures show that more than
$4,000, 900 600 was invested by the
more than 100000 home owners
who are paying for their homes
through the building and loan plan
After an experience of 100 years
one must be compelled to arrive at
the conclusion that if you wan. a
reasonable loan on your home the
most satisfactory results will be
obtained by applying to the Min
nesota Building and Loan Assccia-
ton. w. P. Arndt, of Sank Centre,
is the district representative.

State Highway Department
Twenty-Five Years Old
Manning of Commission in 1905 Was
Beginning of Systematic Road
Improvement

The present week marks the sill
yer anniversary of the Minnesota
Highway department. The men,
bers of the first State Highway
commission, created by an act of
the Legislature of 1905, were APP
pointed Jan. 4, 1906, by Governor
John A. Johnson. They were ]. B.
Galarneault, of Aitkin, Charles Hal
vorson, of Dawson and Gustave
Scholle, Of st. Paul. They held
their first meeting Jan. IL, 1906, at
which time they elected George w.
Cooley, of Minneapolis state en-
gineer.
These events marked the begin
ming of systematic road improve
n.ent in Minnesota. Previous to
that time, all road work had been
left to the local units. The Con-
stitution adopted in 1858 provided
that "The state shall never con-
tract any debt for works of in
ternal improvements, or be party
to carrying on such works" This
was in line with the general prac-
tice in all the states in the past
century.

New Jersey in 1891 was the first
state to adopt a policy of state aid
and supervision of road building.
Minnesota in 1898 amended it's con-
stitution to permit levying a state
tax of 1-20 mill for road cid, to be
expended under a state commits
sion. No legislation to put this in
effect, however, was adopted until
1905, but even at this late date Min
nesota was only the nineteenth
state to concern itself as a state
about road building.
The minutes of the first meeting
of the Minnesota Highway commits
sion show that after electing Of
ficers, "the commission discussed
the matter, and ways and means of
getting certain data from the diff
ferent counties pertaining to
roads, road materials, and road
building in the respective counties
of the state. On motion the COM
mission adjourned,
Six meetings of the commission
were held during the first year. At
the meeting March IL the first re-
quest for approval of state road
was presented, resolution from
the Houston county board, desig-
mating the bridge over the Root riv-
er near Hokah "as state bridge
or road, for the, purpose of having
the same rebuilt or repaired" in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of
the state road law.
At the same meeting a commit
tee from Mile Laos county appear
ed and requested an appropriation
for a road from Milaca to Mile
Laos Lake. mo formal action was
taken pending survey of the road
and an application in due form from
the board of commissioners of that
county" the minutes state. The
services of the state engineer were
rendered in advising as to the To-
cation and construction of said
road"
At the meeting May 1, resolutions
designating state roads were pre-
sented from Mile Laos and Todd
counties. The minutes also state
that "the secretary suggested that
much assistance would be rendered
the western part of the state by
building short section of expert
mental road in the Red River val
ley. On motion of commissioner
Halvorson, the state engineer was
authorized to expend the sum of
$500 on such experimental work."
The experimental road was built
between Crookston and the state
agricultural school, one mile. Chem
ical analysis of the gumbo soil was
made. The road was dragged,
ditched, improved, and gravel ap-
piled. "Since the experimental road
was built my favorable reports
have been received at this office as

Pope to Reiterate Laws
on Marriage in Short Time
EncycIical Is Expected to Take
Firm Stand on Church's
Present Rules

Rome, Jan. GA reiteration Of
the strict Catholic doctrine regard
ing marriage is expected in the
encyclical which Pope Plus will is
sue this week.
Far from making concessions to
modernistic trends, it is understood
the encyclical will bark back to
early Notwithstanding Catholic
ism's utter disapproval of divorce
and birth control.
This restatement, it was assumed,
would be the Pope's answer to the
Episcopal bishops qualified admis-
sion of birth control in certain
cases, emanating from the Lambeth
conference in London.
Marriages between Catholics and
non-Catholics are also expected to
be the subject of comment. It is
generally taken for granted the
pope will re-emphasize that bish-
ops before granting dispensations
for such uniont must obtain writ
ten promise from the non-Catholic
contractant that all children born
of the marriage must be brought
up in the Catholic church and that
that party will not interfere with
the Catholic party's religious ou-
ties.
The pope was represented as be-
ing stirred to this by the recent
wedding of King Boris of Bulgaria
to the former Italian Princess Gil
ovanna.

mination fracas. Bertha has an
edge on comparative scores but
this guesser is picking Parkers to
spring an upset. also am sticking
with Melrose to trip up Glenwood.
There will be only three teams with
unblemished records after tomor-
row nights struggles. Swanville
should win as it pleases from the
lowly Willard outfit and Henning is
favored to take the measure Of
Deer Creek. Long Prairie travels to
Osakis but its invasion of foreign
floors is likely to wind up in disas-
ter as the home team is conceded
the advantage and will probably
demonstrate its superiority. Sank
Centre journeys to Aleck to play on
the latter's new floor. Alexandria
rules an overwhelming favorite to
cop and I am rather apprehensive
regarding the locals chances to
make the game any closer than
they did here.
This is the way I rank the
strongest teams in the district. OF
course, others are liable to dis
pute the order in which have rat
ed the teams but it is a matter Of
opinion and the following is my
idea of how the fives compare after

Scoring Averages

A look into the individual scor-
ing records of the local high basket
GERS in their six games serve to
give us some kind of an estimate
on the best scorers on the team.
Hamilton leads his team in scoring
with 26 points as the result of his
9 field goals and foul losses. He
is easily the most consistent scoring
threat on the team. Eckberg is
credited with % markers but Is of
them were recorded against Grey
Eaple while Hamilton has his
points more evenly distributed.
Eckie leads his mates in counting
from the field with IL such contri-
buttons but Hamilton, with 8 free
goals, easily sets the pace in this
department. Benson has committed
the greatest number of personal
fouls with and Bergman has been
the most inaccurate at the gift
throw lane, making total of'6 I'M
successful attempts.
In 6 contests Sank Centre has
scored "a field goals and 10 free
losses out of Al trials in addition
to fouling, 80 times; Sank Centre
has been out-pointed in these half
dozen battles, 86-116. 1t may be
of interest o observe that though
the locals have been out-scored
heavily in the first half, they have
managed to out-total their rivals in
the second half. This may be fact
of considerable significance and
again it may not but it might be
well to make note of this for fu-
ture reference. In the first half
the locals have scored only SO
points to 70 for the opposition;

to it's value, when compared with
other portions of the main road and
lateral lines of travel" Mr.. Cooleys
report said.
The 1906 report of the commission
shows that the state engineer held
Al good roads meetings during the
year in various parts of the state,
in addition to number of local
meetings to give advice and con-
struction in some specific case of
road construction and repair
Later appointments, to fill vacan-
cies on the commission were Tim
othy O'Conner, Renville, March 4,
1909; c. I. McNair, Cloquet, Sept. 6,
1909; Louis w. Hill, st. Paul, jan
