Man Fatally Hurt
In Fall From Barn
Unusual Manner-Fen About
Twenty Feet

Christ Gysberg, 46, Crow Lake
farmer, was fatally injured Tues
day afternoon at two o'clock when
he slipped and fell while attempt
ing to open the hay NOW door of
the barn. Falling a distance of
about 20 feet to the frozen ground
below, Gysberg sustained a frac-
tured skull and internal injuries
which resulted in his death about
three hour later.
Christ and his brother, John,
planned to haul hay that afternoon
and were letting down the large
hinged door of the hay NOW when
the accident occurred. The barn
door had been partly opened and
Christ evidently slipped and fell out
of the barn as he tried to push the
door down.
Realizing that his brother was
badly injured, John hurried to
Belgrade for medical assistance
but found DR.. Engstrom busy on
a case. John then secured the aid
of Nobel johnson and Rudolph Hof-
mann who FASTENED to the farm,
about two miles north of Belgrade,
and brought the injured man here.
Medical aid was summoned but the
injured man soon passed away.
Christ Gysberg was born May 5,
1886 in Holland. He was unmarried
and had been farming with his
brother, John, for many years.
Surviving are five brothers and
two sisters: Otto and George, of
Lancaster, Mimi; Gust, Gerhart
and John, of this community Mrs.
Mike Wolfe, Mankato, and Mrs.
Peter Stern, of Paynesville.
Funeral services will be held
from the Gust Gysberg home Fri
day morning at Belgrade Tri-
bune.

Law Enforcement
Cuts Death Rate
Traffic Deaths Shown To Vary
According to Law Enforce
ment Changes

Enforcement or lack of enforce
ment Of traffic regulations bear
very definite relationship to in
creases or decreases in the
number of deaths from motor We
hicle accidents according to stat
istics of the National Safety Coun-
Gil put into chart form by Murton
w. Marsh, traffic engineer Of the
City Of Philadelphia, a recent bull
letin of the Minnesota highway
department reports.
During 1925 and 1926, the charts
shows, arrests for traffic law vio-
lations in the city Of st. Louis
steadily decreased in number. Dur
ing 1927 there was pronounced re-
duction in the number Of motorists
required to appear in court. Coin
cident with this change in enforce
ment policy traffic accident fatal
tiles greatly increased. From a
total of LAT deaths in 1926, the
number jumped to 215 during 1927,
the year of lessened traffic law
enforcement.
Stringent enforcement became
again effective in 1928. More than
80 900 violators suffered court con-
victions and paid penalties based
to an extent on the degree of haz-
ard in which other motorists or
had been placed by the
infraction. In the same year traffic
accident fatalities decreased to a
total of 1872. and have continued, to
show decreases in each of the sub
sequent years, the chart shows.
Increase of safety education of
motorist and pedestrians, alike, is
credited aiding in lowering the
yearly death totals; but the reports
adds, the fluctuation in death to-
tails so closely corresponds to the
changes in enforcement of the traf-
fic regulations that it would ap-
pear highly probable that the lat.
ter had much to do with furthering
the education, particularly of the

Are Discussed

Tax delinquency, expenditure con-
troll, the assessment system, and the
state one-mill road tax were four
themes discussed by tax officials of
ten counties who met in an all-day
session at Grand Rapids Tuesday,
which was sponsored by the Mime
sofa Taxpayers Association. H. C.

Doctors Urge Support
for Seal Campaign
Declare Extra Health Protection
!, Necessary to Offset Effect of
Hard Times on Children

st. Paul, Minn.-The effects of
starvation on the children of war
time Germany have an especial in
terest for Americans in our own
hard times, the doctors of the Min
nesota State Medical Association
point out today.
Studies recently published in
Germany show that the worst re-
suits of the malnutrition of the
days Immediately succeeding the
war are being fe.t in the young
men and young women of II and
Is who were the tiny children of
that day. The doctors cite this
study as a warning to over-san-
guine Americans who somehow ex-
pect good to come from under
nourishment, cimply because the
effect of lack of food has not
shown up in current death rates.
The worst effects of depression
will be felt in a lowered resistance
to disease ten and fifteen years
from now, the physicians declare.
Under-nourisment in the first
five years of life leaves its mark
both physically and mentally as
the German studies have conclu-
sively shown. Especially its victims
are subject to wasting diseases,
such as tuberculosis. r.
We must exert ourselves to see
that the babies have proper food.
first. Then we must exert ourselves
to see that they have the proper
health protection.
The Christmas Seal organization,
now in the midst of its annual
Christmas Seal sale offers as part
of its program, tuberculin skin
testing of school children to find
infection with tuberculosis early
and by proper hygienic measure to
protect theinfected children from
future breakdown with the disease.
This test is important in recog-
nizing the disease early before it
gives clinical symptoms in order
that we may protect all children in
these difficult times. Where public
funds are lacking to carry on this
work we must make UP for them
by generously supporting such
agencies as the Minnesota Public
Health Association.
Parents and school authorities
are urged by the physicians to see
that every child has a physical ex-
animation by a well qualified doc
tor wherever lack of public funds
has necessitated dropping Of school
"sic'ans and nurses. The doctors
themselves are ready to help.

Putnam Plans
Bonus Battle
Will Renew Fight for Payment
Opposed to Marches On
National Capital

Washington Nov. 30-RepreSent-
alive Putnam Democrat, Texas),
who sponsored the bonus bill pass
ed by the house last. session, an
nounced to Newspaper men upon his
return to the capital Monday, that
he was prepared to carry on the
fight for payment this session.
It is the only plan yet proposed
to help in the present situation, he
said. I will do what I can to Sc
cure it's approval.
I am opposed to any marches on
Washington this winter.
I was opposed to the bonus army
coming here last spring. While
these people have a perfect right to
come, they should understand that
it only hurts their cause. This is
Just as true of hunger marchers
as bonus marchers.
e To forstall threatened reductions
in allowance to former soldiers of
all wars, the American Legion is
undertaking a counter-attack to
gain new benefits for World war
veterans in the coming congress.
The, plan as described at Legion
headquarters, involves four major
points-includingt the bonus-which
would cost upward of $4,000, 900, 90
in 10 years.
The legion, said officials, is pro-
ceeding on the theory that the
justice of the things they think are
needed should decide the fate of
legislation rather than any need
for economy.
AS outlined, the program calls
for:
Immediate cash payment of the
adjusted compensation certificates,
requiring around $4,000, 100000.
Pensions for widows and or
phans of World War veterans.
which the veterans administration
estimte would cost $13,531, 900 the
first year and $454 ,060,0 the first
10 years.
Amendment of existing law to
permit the presumption that vet.
Grams asking for disqualification OF
other benefits for some constitu.
tional diseases contracted those
ailments while in the service. This
would cost near $12,000,0 900 the first
10 years, it is estimated.

Trunk Highway System
Cut Many Miles
Distance Savings of Many Miles
Accomplished by Route Changes
Survey Shows

"hSA thc SldIc IIuIlh highway
system was created by the legisla-
ture in 1921, and the county seats
designated as points from and to
which it should run, the length of
the system was quite generally
stated as 1000 miles. Survey re-
cords, and the addition of trunk
highway No. u by the state legis-
lature in 1923 on account of the
formation of Lake of the Woods
county, disclose the exact length
to have been 1884 miles. But the
length of the state trunk highway
system has been reduced, a recent
highway bulletin reports, until to-
day the official length is but &c.
749.6 miles.
Cutting off many adverse miles
accounts for much of the reduc-
ton. Adverse miles, the bulletin
explains, are the miles travelled in
a roundabout way to reach a
point that is shorter distance
away in direct line.
The rounding out of hundreds of
sharp turns, which has been done
primarily for safety purposes, has
made many cuts which, while
amounting to perhaps only tenth
of a mile or less in each change,
total a considerable number of
miles in the aggregate.
New bridges erected in locations
which permitted the lessening of
hills and Strengthening out of curv-
ed approaches; and putting high
ways straight across small swamps
instead of skirting around them;
have contributed to the mileage
cutting.
In some instances, however,
trunk highway routes have been
actually heightened. Trunk high
way No. 63, the bulletin points out,
was increased S.3 miles in length
through carrying it northward to
connect with trunk highway No. 1
at Forest Lake instead of at Hugo.
Trunk highway No. 16 was increas-
ed in length two tenths of a mile.
Other increases have ranged be-
tween these two, and total 24.9
miles.
The length of the state trunk
highway as represented by the COM
bination of. the mile-lengths of the
different routes, and the length as
represented by the number of
miles maintained by the state high
way department, differ, however,
the bulletin states, by more than
100 miles. This is because of two
or more routes being combined ov-
er certain distances. The route
mileage" continues for each route
over such duplicated sections, but
the maintenance mileage" of
course does not. The reconstruc-
ton of trunk highways has reduced
these combinations by some AZ
miles, which, in turn, has served to
increase the number of mainten-
ance miles to some degree.
AS more definite indication of
the travel miles which the i'm
provements to the trunk highways
have afforded during the eleven
years, the bulletin lists some of the
trunk highways and the reduce
tons made, as follows:
