Dual Tires on Trucks
Ruin Frost Boil TrOughs.

A difference in weather conditions at
this time as compared with a year ago
is responsible for much more difficulty
in keeping highways in good condition
for motor travel, a highway depart
ment bulletin points out. Frost boils
are more numerous and in many in
stances are much more troublesome
than in any former years. Every eff
fort is being made by the highway de-
partment to keep the bad spots pass
able, but new element of trouble has
shown up, the bulletin states, in the
dual tires on trucks.
In places where the frost boils were
large enough to break up the entire
surface of the roadway it has been the
practice to lay down metal troughs,
curved up at the sides to prevent the
wheels from going off into the mud
These troughs, purchased some years
ago, are joined together by cross braces
to hold them in line and were intended
for use by single tired vehicles, but the
dual tires extend over the edge Of the
trough and have been picking them
up and bending them, as well as the
cross-braces into useless tangles of
metal.
1t is being found necessary. the bull
letin announces, to restrict vehicles
with dual tires from driving over the
metal troughs although trucks with
dual tires are not as hard on ordinary
graveled roads that are softened by the
weather as are single tires and can
often get through bad spots without
the use Of troughs where other vehicles
could not

BANKERS ENDORSE NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING

The Minnesota Bankers association believes
that the local newspapers are the most logical,
effective and economical medium at hand with
which to advertise banks, and to build confidence
in both the banks and the communities served by
the banks
The public expression of this firm conviction
by statewide group of hard-headed, long headed
and level-headed bankers should knock into
cooked hat the foolish notion entertained by tmid
business men that dollars expended in home town
newspaper advertising to bring their names and
their business messages before receptive audience
of their friends and neighbors each week. are just
so many dollars tossed to the four winds.
Bankers as all of us who have had experience
borrowing money know only too WE'LL are not ac-
customed to hurting money out of the window so
to speak. When an average banker puts out
money, he aims to get that money back, with
interest. We have no quarrel with this formula.
Indeed these hard-headed tactics on the part of
your banker is what makes your money safe in the
bank We cite the fact only to point out that when
the average banker puts money into the cash box
of the home town newspaper for newspaper adj
vertising, he does so knowing that he will get that
money, also, back with interest.
The business man who hopes to keep up with
the swift parade of modern days without adver-
tising-without eternally shouting to the folks of
his community the news that he is here, on earth
and ready to serve them we'll and often-will never
reach the goal which he should, considering his op-
portunities 1t is true that many business men
who never advertise remain in business, pay their
bills, eat we'll and keep warm and are able to buy
gasoline for their automobiles. These men would
go farther, in trade volume and net profits, they
would be far more successful, if they wisely and
consistently hewed to the advertising line, driving
the story of their businesses home to the readers
of their local newspaper consistently and persis-
tently, week in and week out throughout the year.

Radio phones Tested
For Forest Uses.

Though 1t is not contemplated that
use will be made of new portable radio
equipment in fire control in the Lake
States Region during the present year,
Regional Forester Tinker of Milwaukee,
states that portable radio sets have been
developed recently by the U. s. Forest
Service and are to be tried out for the
first time under actual field conditions
this summer on the Chelan and Ump-
qua National Forests on the West
Coast.
Present plans call for the use of
some IL semi-portable radiophones or
voice sets, each weighing about 3
pounds, and some portable code sets,
each weighing less than 10 pounds,
complete. The semi-portable radio
phone sets will be established on look
outs or at fire camps. The portable
code set will be carried by firemen to
fires or used by small improvement
crews who may be working without
telephone communication.
The radiophone set transmits both
voice and code with a rated trans
hitting range of ten miles voice and
20 miles code. The portable set trans
mits code only but receives both code
and voice. The transmitting range is
rated at 20 miles. According to the
announcement the sets have stood up
under a diversity of local tests and
their use this summer is intended as
final large scale demonstration of their
suitability for forest communication,
particularly in connection with the fire
control It is said that they are not
intended to replace the existing tele-
phone communication system, but are
expected to be of special value to Forest
Rangers away from the regular lines of
communication. The Forest Service
anticipates that this new communica-
ton method will be of most value in
establishing immediate communication
with Forest Guards who have been
sent out to attack new fires, and for
fire camps in isolated regions where
telephone lines are not available. The
new instruments are said to be sturdy,
practical, and to require minimum of
technical knowledge to operate.

Next week has been designated as
Conservation Week and will be OBJ
served by the Minnesota Conservation
Commission with addresses in which
speakers will explain the plans as out
lined by the Commission composed of
VIM. E. McEwen, chairman; John r.
Foley, secretary; Richard r. Bailey,
Ernest Reiff, James T. Williams and
VIM. T. Cox, commissioner.
The conservation program has been
divided into four divisions with Grover
NJ Comet as director of forestry; VIM.
D. Stewart, director of game and fish;
E. v. Willard, director of drainage and
waters and Frank A. Wildes, acting
director of lands and minerals.
Speakers during the week will stress
the Importance of the several divisions
and will utilize the following facts in
their talks:
Forests, game and fish, lands and
waters are the renewable or comfortable
natural resources. With proper plans
for administration and utilization the
citizens of the state could have for
ever the opportunity of using and bene-
fitting from the products which can
be secured. The stock of trees, Of
game and fish, water and the fertility
of the land which would be present
under natural conditions may be hkened
to a capital investment of money. The
annual increase or growth may be
likened to the interest on an invest
ment of money. Everyone knows that
if the capital is diminished or destroyed
there can be no interest or annual in
crease.
The proper administration, then,
must protect and preserve the capital
stock and only the annual increase or
growth taken. In a stand of trees the
annual growth can easily be figured
and it is only this amount which
should be out. 1t is little more diff
cult to arrive at figure which could
be used as the annual increase for
game and fish, but by trial and ex-
perience it can be done. Artificial re-
stocking or planting by man is an adj
ditional aid to nature to keep the
supply large enough for the demand of
the annual hunting and fishing.
Conservation means not only the pro-
lection of the resources we have and
the restoration of what has been un-
necessarily destroyed, but also the
greatest use of all natural resources
for the greatest number of people.
The forests are fundamental in the
production of game and fish and in
the regulation and control of our water
supplies The growth of trees on land
helps to store part of the rains that
fall and the SHOWS that melt, pre-
venting a rapid run-off. In this way
floods are prevented or reduced. Dur
ing the dryer months of the summer
and fall the water which has been
stored in the ground is gradually re-
leased to replenish the streams and
lakes to keep them at the normal level
What this means in the production OF
fish can be easily seen, as there must
be water of constant levels, clean and
cool, free from pollution. Each species
of game bird and animal must have
the right food, shelter, protection and
such, called habitat or home. With
out either food or protection no game
can survive.
The state has set aside from time
co time considerable acreage Of state
owned land as State Forests. There

Has Interesting Meet.

A most interesting meeting of the
Parent Teacher Association was held
Thursday evening, April IA, at 8 o'clock
In room LOG of the Memorial High

Mahan presiding.
Mrs. McMahan reported that dis

the group in general should prove in
teresting as well as helpful to the COM
mittee
At the close of the business meeting
Mr.. Englund gave very interesting
talk on the movement of the Parent
Teacher organization from the view
point of school man. He said that
his topic simply means child welfare
or in other words, education. In quot
ing from the Parent-Teacher magazine
he said there are four factors which
enter into child welfare: the home; the
school; the church, and the community.
Discussing each factor separately, he
said the home is mechanically sound
and spiritually inspiring; the school
should establish sound health pro-
gram, give the child tools with which
to acquire an education, guide him to-
ward good citizenship, and the develop
ment of dependable character.
After Mr.. Englund's talk, Miss Mary
Hutar sang two numbers which were
