Road Projects Give :
Many Hours of Labor
Highway Department Provides
Work for $4,000 With
u. S. Funds.

More than seven million man.
hours of labor on Minnesota High
ways have been provided by the
$10,000,000 emergency employment
allotment given the State Highway
Department by the federal govern
ment in the past year, according to
N. w. Elsberg, Highway Commits
sioner.
The construction program fl
nanced by this appropriation is now
nearing completion. It was begun
in the fall of 1888 and was spread
through practically all the counties
in the state.
The seven million man-hours of
road labor is equivalent to % weeks
or nearly six months of continuous
work for 10000 men. Government
records indicate that for every two
men given employment directly on
road construction, three are pro-
vided with jobs in related indus
tries, principally producing and
transporting materials and equip
ment. This would bring the en-
ployment figure for the Minnesota
program to $4,000 men.
Highway labor for the $4,000, 900
program was supplied through the
U. S. Employment Service, a fed
eral agency picking men according
to government regulations. Local
labor was favored in all cases.
In addition to providing wages
for thousands of men throughout
the state, Mr.. Elsberg said the
funds give Minnesota the following
highway improvements:
Grading, 1877 miles, cost So, sos 900;
subgrade treatment, 25 miles, $751;
900; grayeling, 672 miles, LAO, 900;
bituminous surfacing, 1872 miles,
$780, waterbound macadam, 81
miles, $685. 900; asphalt paving of
40-foot minimum width, Is miles,
1871 900; concrete paving and
shouldering, At miles q miles of
40-foot width and balance 20-foot
width, $3.50, 900; 80 grade sep
aration bridges, 81 ,044,969; Is
river bridges, $500, 900; special curb
and gutter work $780,. railroad
crossing signals, $2,1O0.
These figures are revised estim-
ates which will be very close to the
lnal detailed accounting after
all jobs have been completed, Mr..
Elsberg said.
Beginning next July /, Minnesota
will return to the old system of fed
eral aid on a matching basis, all
emergency highway appropriations
coming to an end. After that date
the state must put up money, dol
lar for dollar, with the federal gov
eminent, and can receive maxi
mum of about 100000 a year
If it can be matched.

No Desirable Homestead Land
Available In State

Although there are thousands Of
acres of federal lands scattered
through many Minnesota counties
still open for demonstrating, most
of this land is not suitable for
farming, according to F. A. Wildes,
Director of the Division of Lands
and Minerals, Minnesota Depart
ment of Conservation.
There seems to be general i'm
preston that there are many valu-
able tracts of government land in
Minnesota available for homestead
entry Mr.. Wildes said, "This land
is practically all marginal or sub
marginal, rocky or swampy, and is
not fit for agricultural use."
Persons seeking information reg
garding government land should ap-
ply to the U. s. Land Office, Wash
ington, D. c., as no government
land office is maintained in Mime
sofa.

Independent Bankers Association
Low Bidder on Rural
Credit Bonds

T. H. Arens, Conservation of the
Rural Credit Department, effected
savings of over $4,000 to his de-
partment when $845,000 in certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness were pur-
chased by the Independent Bank
ers' Association atzthe low interest
rate of 1.6 per cent.
Previously the Rural Credit
Department was obliged to pay an
interest on it's certificates of in
debtedness of 4.01 per cent. The
Independent Bankers Association,
an organization of small Mime
sofa banks, were low on the bid,
which is considered by financial
authorities as an all-time low for
interest rates on short time in
vestments.
These certificates of indebted
ness were floated by the Rural
Credit Department for the purpose
of meeting an outstanding issue of
certificates which mature Septem-

School Patrol Has
Public Safety Value
Cities With Patrol Show Better
Safety Record Than
Those Without

The most promising aspect of to-
days public safety problem is that
it is possible to teach safety to
children. This is the viewpoint of
Col. Frank w. Matson, member of
the state railroad and warehouse
commission. AS a member of the
Minnesota Safety Council, he also
acts in an advisory capacity to the
safety division of the state emer-
gency relief administration.
In bulletin, issued by the
safety division ERA, the results
of some studies made by Col Mat
son as to progress being made to-
ward safeguarding children from
traffic hazards on streets and
highways are presented.
A child on its way to or from
school is III less danger than any
where else, according to informa-
from the National Safety Council,
School patrols come into the lime
light here, Col. Matson argues. He
quotes a statement made recently
by Captain David G. Broderick,
president of the Minnesota state
police association, to the effect
that not one accident has happened
at a school where there is a school
patrol.
Minneapolis and st. Paul have
school patrols under the supervision
of the police departments. In
many towns of the state, American
Legion posts have organized the
school patrols. Children are safer
in cities which have school patrols
than in cities which do not offer
this protection to children on their
way to and from school.
Not only during the school year,
when school patrols offer safe con-
duct through traffic for pupils,
does the safety training which is
knit up with the school patrol
system, operate for the protection
Of children, but Col. Matson sug-
gests the school patrol has an all
year round safety value.
The commissioner cites fatality
records in the office of the safety
division SERA two cities in Mime
sofa which, in the period from Jan.
to July 1, 1884 and two fatalities
among children of school age,
each. One city, with a school pop
ulation of nearly 100000, has a

Among the relics and unique ar
ticles on display at the Brooten
fair this week, is an iron shoe used
in the olden days on oxen. Unlike
a horse shoe, this article was made
in two pieces rather than one.
The article was picked up on the
Frank Smith farm, east and south
of Brooten, by Jake Blonigan.
The Smith farm was formerly
the home of John Swenson Of this
village. The iatter's parents home
steaded the place, and resided
there for many years.
While oxen were more or less
generally used here in the early
days, few farmers had their ami
mails shod- The story is told, how
ever, that a man passing thru this
section on his way from the timber
country further north to his home
in the southern part Of the state
about 48 years ago, stopped over
night at the Swenson place. One
Of his oxen was so footsore that it
was next to impossible for the
gentleman to go on. A deal was
made with the Swensons whereby
the OK was traded for horse. The

Hagen, Crookston, vice president of
the Minnesota Division of the Izaak
Walton League, when advised that
actual physical improvement on the
Mud Lake wild migratory bird
resting ground and refuge in north
western Minnesota is to be started
this fall. Federal funds will be
used to acquire land and perform
necessary construction work with
the U. S. Bureau of Biological Sur
vey in charge.
Rapid progress has been made in
acquiring lands to be included in
the 5000 restoration project be-
cause of perfect cooperation by
the state department of conserva-
tion," according to J. N. Darling,
Bureau Chief.
Mr.. Darling said that zone of the
best angles of the Mud Lake Pro
iect is the way Commissioner e.
V. Willard and members of the
Game and Fish Division have tied
in with perfect cooperation"
Initial work in the western part
of the area, effecting about 10000
acres will include the two Olson
lakes and Kuriko. Whiskey, Mud,
Greenstump and Elm Lakes where
most of the development structures
are needed.

splendid demonstration of unself-
ish aid as have had from Com

ing Swenson of the Game and Fish
Division"
To Rush Fish Rescue In
Shallow Waters
The Minnesota Conservation
Commission through the Division of
Game and Fish is directing its at
tention to inland lakes of the state
where water levels are abnornally
low. Every effort is being made to
rescue fish life from such waters
before winter freezing weather
sets in.
A survey of lakes that are I'M
usually shallow at the present has
been conducted for some time past
by order of Director Erling Sven
SON. George Weaver, in. charge of
rough fish removal, has personal
ly conducted the survey.
. "Most of the work in fish salvag-
ing is being done in lakes located
in the southern, western and cen
trail parts Of the state" Mr.. Weav-
er said. Rough fish removed are
sold with the market showing a
trend upward. Game fishes are
transferred to nearby lakes where
water conditions are satisfactory
and where fish life will not be de-
stroyed by smothering out"

PROBE REPLIES
To HOOVER
By International News Service


In an apparent effort to reply
to former President Hoover, the
Senate munitions committee today
revealed that there was no evil
dence at all in the State Depart
ment's files to indicate who in
spired the Hoover munitions con-
ference in 1925.
The former President, in a
public statement, declared he
called this conference at the in,
stance of the State Department.
He also said a complete record OF
it would be found in the State De
partment's files.
Prober a Witness
Stephen Raushenbush, the com
mittee's chief investigator, testl
fled there was no evidence at all
in the State Department files
about the Hoover conference. This
testimony was placed in the rec
ord without comment.
The munitions conference in
1925 resulted in the League of
Nations arms control treaty being
modified to suit American gun
makers.
Senator Clark (DD of Missouri,
who questioned Mr.. RauShenbuSh,
clashed with Irenee du Pont, one
of the heads of E. I. du Pont De
Nemours and Company, when
Senator Clark said he did not be.
lieve powder had any value. Mr.
du Pont declared:
CLASH OVER PROFITS
"YOu didn't think that dur
ing the war. Powder protected
you then"
Said Mr.. Clark:
'It only protected munitions
makers profits. We went into
the war to protect the profits of
the munitions makers on sales
they made before we entered
the war"
Mr.. du Pont countered:
do you mean that President
Wilson was dragged into the
war by the heels at the insist
ence of the munitions makerS?"
II do not. l mean you set
in motion a series of events that
led us into the war;
Mr.. Du Pont began another pro
test and Mr.. Clark interrupted
him to say:
"NOw, Mr.. Du POnt, as gently
as I can, let me disabuse your
mind that you are running this
investigation. We will conduct
this inquiry as the committee
sees fit"
Mr.. Clark then developed thai
the Du Pont company made ont
sale of munitions that was ship
ped into China in violation of the
Chinese arms embargo. The firm
sent the shipment to Holland
but allegedly knew it was destined
to be reshipped from there tc
the Nationalist army in China.
