STATE TO SOON
TAKE NEW ROADS
Lack of Funds Will Cause Work to
be Confined to Snow Removal
During Coming Winter.

Some Pine county roads will go into
the trunk highway system on October
Is when the State Highway Depart
ment will start taking over more than
1000 miles of new routes added to the
trunk system by the last legislature.
In Pine county the roads which will
be made trunk routes include Trunk
Highway No. 1873 from T. H. No. 5
near Braham, east through Royalton
and Rock Creek townships to the Wis
consin line; T. H. No. 1874 from T. H.
No. 5 near Grasston, north through
Henriette to T. H. No. % near Brook
Park; which route is mostly on the
boundary line between Pine and Kan
abec counties; T. H. No. 1872 from T..
H. No. 1 at Hinckley, eastward to the
Wisconsin line; T. H. No. 1876 from
Highway No. 1 in Sandstone, north
eaSterly through AskOv, Bruno, Ker-
rick, Duquette, Nickerson and on up
through Carlton county to Duluth;
T. H. No. 1856 from Askov, west
through Finlayson, around Pine lake
and on westward to Isle.
Until next year the highway de-
partment will limit it's work on the
new routes almost entirely to snow re-
moval, it was said by N. w. Elsberg,
highway commissioner, in announcing
the program. All county boards have
been asked by the highway depart
ment to put their portions of the
routes in proper condition for winter
and to erect necessary snow fences.
Next year the state will take over
the entire maintenance of the new
routes, relieving the counties of all
expense" Mr.. Elsberg said. This
would have been done this year, but
the shortage of funds in the highw ay
department resulting from the cut in
automobile license fees made it i'm
possible.
1.-THE highway department will dc
all in it's power to keep the new
routes open this winter. However, we
must have the cooperation of the
county boards in getting the prelimi-
nary fall work done and snow fences
in place, as we have no funds to un.
dertake more than the snow blowing
operations until next year. Even the
funds for this purpose are extremely
limited so the department can only
promise to do its best with what
money is available.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Last Monday, in a European atmos
phere charged with political electri-
city, the fourteenth annual general
assembly of the League of Nations
opened at Geneva, Switzerland, where
number of premiers and foreign
ministers were outstanding delegates.
1t must have been discouraging for
the League and its friends to admit
that last year the thirteenth assem-
bly, was as unproductive of actual re-
suits as the present session is likely
to be; nor is the record of the year
passed since the last meeting one of
inspirations: In spite of noble and
energetic efforts the League was un-
able to stop the (unofficiaD war be-
tween Japan and China, the bloody
conflict raging between Paraguay and
Bolivia, and the less sanguinary war
fare developing between Peru and
Colombia; what was expected to be
the browning glory of the Leagues
work, viz, disarmament, came to
naught, and the economic world con-
ference, held under the auspices OF
the League last June and July, proved
a colossal failure.
Disarmament Again.
Despite the sore disappointments OF
the past year the League seems to
feel that it is worth while continu-
ing its efforts along the disarmament
lines, and it seems quite likely that
the coming resumption of the interna-
tional disarmament conference will
form the chief topic of discussion at
the assembly now in progress. Only,
the public must not expect any de-
tailed account of the progress of such
discussion, for it will be carried on In
the profound depths of diplomatic
secrecy. Little hints will be given
now and then, just to satisfy inter-
national curiosity, but the important

HOW TO GET GAME
BIRDS WITHOUT GUN

Fish stories are not uncommon but
when it comes to a real fowl story.
County Commissioner John Ettel of
Rock Creek township, has the goods.
1t seems that Mr.. Ettel was riding
along in an auto with friend dur
ing chicken hunting season, the friend
being at the wheel. Two chickens
flew UP alongside of the car when Mr..
Ettel reached out with his hand and
grabbed one of the chickens by the
tail and pulled it into the car. The
county commissioner was asked if he
let the bird fly again. ooh, no." he
said, al had a license to hunt and
the chicken went on the frying pam"
Now the question is: Why spend
money on a gun and shells if game
birds can be caught by hand?

Strikingly contrasted are the characters of Flagg and Quirt in Hot Pepper new Fox film pro duction depicting the latest ad- ventures of the immortal Marines as portrayed by Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen. In this hi- larious comedy which comes to the Capitol tonight, Lowe appears as the suave, urbane and smooth talking chiseler, while McLaglen is excitable, savage and rough.
 Their activities in Hot Pepper find them out of uniform and in civilian dress-fashion plates with silk hats. Though in an entirely new atmosphere as spe akeasy owners, they are still the fighting Flagg and Quirt, the characters originated by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson.
 They battle principally for the affections of Pepper" brown legged little firebrand discovered slowed away on one of Flagg's rum boats. The role is portrayed by the flaming Lupe Velez.
 Fl Brendel, the Swedish dia- lect comedian, also plays a fea- tured role and others prominent in the cast are Lillian Bond, Boothe Howard and Gloria Roy.
 The night club scenes are bright ened by the introduction of sever al singing and dancing numbers. Miss Velez appears in one of them in which she is assisted by a chorous. and bevy of "can can" dancers.
 Dudley Nichols wrote the story around the famous team and the picture was directed by John C.. B1ystone.
