July is the peak month in high
way work, both in construction and
maintenance. A great deal of main
tenance work, such as oiling and
regraveling, is done by contract,
and must be done when weather
conditions are most favorable. The
figures include both full time and
part time employees. While there
will be a gradual reduction in the
number of men employed, until the
minimum is reached in mid-winter,
each month will see a proportion
ately larger number employed than
in the same month last year. The
increase over 1880 is in almost di-
rect proportion to the increase in
highway funds.
That the state is receiving more
for it's money this year is also
shown by the average unit costs.
Contract prices for concrete paving
have dropped from $1.35 per yard
in 1881. This figure does not in
clude cement, prices on this item
being about one-third cheaper than
in 1880. Grading costs, which av-
eraged 24.6 per cubic yard in 1880,
average 22.3 cents in 1881. Gravel
hauling has dropped from 1918 cents
per cubic yd. mile in 1890 to 8.25
cents per cubic yard. mile in 1881.
The cost Of bitimunious application
has dropped. from an average of
1.39 cents per gallon in 1880, to
LA in 1881.
Apparently each road dollar
gives as much employment now as
a year ago, but with the lower cost
of materials, ais well as improved
methods, the state is getting more
roads per dollar than last year,"
Mr.. Babcock said.
The figures do not include men
employed in producing material or
otherwise indirectly employed. Per-

Advance Registration Begins at
Morris Agricultural School

Advance registration of students
for~the coming school year at the
West Central School Of Agriculture
at Morris is already well under
way, stated E. J. Volden, Registrar
In an interview recently. g
Many old students. as well as sew.
eral new ones, have sent in their
deposit fee to insure having a room
reserved for them in one of the
five school dormitories when school
opens. Mr.. Volden also stated that
in view Of the present economic
conditions it was difficult to predict
just what the attendance will be.
although it is anticipated that en-
rollments will compare favorably
with previous years.
Each year farmers and farm
wives of West Central Minnesota
are becoming more conscious of the
need of practical scientific train
ing in farming and home making.
Present agricultural problems in
clude the need Of producing farm
products at lower cost of produc-
ton and marketing them in a more
efficient manner than has hereto
fore been done. Courses at the
West Central School are designed
to cope with these and other out
standing problems.
The farm home is becoming in
creasingly important as a factor in
successful rural life. Latest devel-
opments, as well as old standard
practices, are taught in the Home
Economies Department Of the
School.
Last year three hundred and
eighty-five boys and girls of West
Central Minnesota attended the
school during the regular school
term. During the years that the
school has been in operation over
two thousand boys and girls have

won half of them, ending the year
with a standing of 500. This re-
cord, considering all the ups and
downs experienced, may be consid-
cred very successful. The financial
status of the association also is
much better than was ever hoped
for by the managers.

Rabbits May pinch Hit" For
Ducks This Hunting Season

Chicago.-Bunny cottontail, for
years the favorite game animal of
hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
can sportsmen, may find himself
elevated to a kingship this fall
and rated as a far more sporty
game animal than ever before, said
DR.. Preston Bradley, president Of
the Izaak Walton League, this
in commenting on possible changes
or a reduction in the duck hunting
season because of the waterfowl
shortage. DR.. Bradley now at his
fishing camp in northern Mime
sofa, said that in case the Biolog-
ical Survey considers it necessary
to shorten the waterfowl season
due to serious shortage in birds
resulting from two bad nesting
seasons, hunting the humble cot
tontail, the ringnecked pheasant
and the Bob White quail, as we'll
as nationwide shooting contests
featuring trap, sheet and rifle
shooting will provide shooting
program while the waterfowl are
given a resite so that their num-
bers may be increased.
eff the shortage of birds Is acute,
sportsmen will, I am confident, vol
unteer a self imposed reduction in
waterfowl shooting, so that at the
earliest possible time we may have
plenty of birds and full open sea-
sons" he said.
Already the League is looking
to next year to help increase the
stock Of waterfowl with a program
which calls for chapters and
sportsmen to utilize every avail
able pond, small lake, slough or
marsh for growing wild mallards.
Thousands Of ducks and pheasants
were grown by Walton members
and released this summer. Next
year the grow-more-waterfowl
program will be enlarged"
Stating \that the League firmly
believed in the typically American
sport Of hunting and was working
to increase the number of all game
birds, DR.. Bradley pointed out that
possibly shooting for the sport of
shooting may have to supplant
some actual wild fowl hunting
which sportsmen ordinarily do in
good year, and to that end chap
tiers of the League will promote
sheet, and target shooting con-
tests. .----a-s.

Sank Centre Public Schools
Another phase of our school
work that needs plenty of parental
interest is our extra-curricular
activities. Football, basketball, glee
club, declarations, all need the
motivation and interest that a
parent can give. 1t is worth much
to keep your child interested in the
above activities and know that he
is receiving training that is of
value instead of loafing or being in
bad company. Athletics teaches
good craftsmanship and inciden-
tally prepares the student for the
same attitude in life. If he has not
learned by the time he has finished
school what the difference is be-
tween fair play and cheating,
sportsmanlike attitude and I'M
sportsmanlike attitude, he never
will appreciate those values. So it
becomes vitality necessary that par
ents take time to interest them
selves through their children in
our school extra-curricular activi-
ties.
It is an absolute fact that the
parents must study the psychology
of the child within the home. Each
child is different problem and
each child is different individual.
He is one type at home, one type
on the street, and one type in
school. It takes a careful vigil
ance on the part of parents these
days to cope with the dazzling eff
feet our American life has upon
our young people. They have pep
and fun but it~must be directed.
We must always stimulate our
children so that they are constant
ly challenged to their fullest ca
pacity by things that are sound
from the standpoint of good citi-
zenship, moral integrity and splen-
did character. The home and school
must work together.
