The oldest inhabitant interviewed
by the Herald editor did not recall
who erected the studio building or
when it was built. The brick
structure was built by l.. s. Bishop,
father Of Howard and Roy Bishop.
He occupied the first floor with a
grocery store, the family living up
stairs. About so years ago the Odd
Fellows purchased the property and
converted it into a lodge hall.
The plans and specifications for
the new building were furnished by
Albin & Olson, Minneapolis archi-
tects. Roy Boyer, a member OF
Sank Centre lodge, has the contract
for construction. It is expected the
new structure will be completed
Oct. 1, 1884. The Improvement will
cost about $1,000.

Those who have not been vacci-

in view of this increase, especially,
to attend to it now. Small pox vic

ed, nowadays, from among those
who have neglected this simple, pre-
cautionary measure.
Small pox was terrible
scourge in England three hundred
years ago. says the bulletin.
Men abandoned thir homes or
burnt them. Some tackled signs

Vaccination has spared us the
terrible epidemics of the Pox' and
we are growing careless and for
getful. So long as there are I'M
vaccinated persons about, small pox
is not dead among us. It may raise
its head tragically any day.
Good medical opinion advises
vaccination of all children before
the end of the first year of life.
This is the time, also to immunize

Regarded as the greatest human
itarian project ever sponsored by a
veteran organization, the V. F. w.
National Home, at Eaton Rapids,
Mich, created in 1925, as haven
for the children and widows of
deceased veterans, has become one
Of the primary motives for exis-
tence for the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars of the u. s. and its ladies
auxiliary. )
The chief purpose Of the v. f.
w. National home from the start
was to provide an ideal home and
living conditions for the children of
former comrades. To date, approx
imately 100 youngsters are being
maintained at the Home, fed, cloth
ed, educated and equipped with vo-
cations at the expense Of the or
ganization until they are able to
make their own way in the world
at large. Present educational IA
cilities are provided by the city Of
Eaton Rapids with its modern
schools, thoroughly equipped along
vocational lines for both boys and
girls. Eventually, the v. F. w. Ma
tional Home will erect its own
schools to be operated and super
vised by the educational authori-
ties Of the state of Michigan.
The National Home, located on
the outskirts of Eaton Rapids, COW
ers more than 600 acres Of farm
land which is plated and in the
course of development as a town.

State Road Construction
Likely to Be Cut One-Haf
Shutdown of Highway Building
Threatened for 1886 In Mime
sofa Next Season

There will be just one-half as
much state highway construction
in Minnesota next season as there
has been this year, according to a
bulletin from the highway depart
ment.
This will be the effect of the
highway aid bill passed by congress
last week. AFTER 1885, under the
terms of the bill, it may be impos-
sible for Minnesota to obtain any
substantial federal aid, which
would mean virtually abandon
ment of state road construction &C
tivities in Minnesota.
"For the current fiscal year."
said N. w. Elsberg, highway COM
missioner, Minnesota had $10,600,-
600 of Federal road funds for con-
struction. Under the new highway
act, this will be cut to about S.
100000 for the coming year, a re-
duction of so per cent.
In 1886 the bill provides about 49,
OOO,O of Federal aid for Minneso-
ia provided we can match it with
an equal amount of state funds for
construction purposes. The same
provision lis made for 1887. How
ever, it now appears that it will be
impossible for Minnesota to match
the Federal funds in either 1896 or
1887, owing to the IS per cent in
crease in trunk mileage and the AZ
per cent decrease in automobile Ii
cense fees made by the 1888 legis-
lature. Practically all state reve-
nues at present are required to
meet the increased maintenance ex-
pense, bond charges and other nee
essary items.

a portion of the buddy poppy sale
proceeds contribute to the constant
development Of the Home.
President Woodside in his appeal
to the organization at large, sounds
the keynote for the future Of the
Home in it's urgent request for
continued support.
"It must not be forgotten" de-
clares Comrade Woodside, "that
we have attempted to take the
place, in so far as the rearing OF
children is concerned, of our Com
rades who have gone before. 1t
must not be forgotten that in so
doing we have obligated ourselves
to a trust not only to the living,
but to the dead. It must not be
forgotten that we have gone SO
far that we cannot turn back. 1t
must not be forgotten that we can
only go ahead with the usual v. f.
w. spirit and complete the task
which we have assumed as our bur-
den. .~'~
Mindful of the future, and with
these conditions at our doorstep,
the board Of trustees of the Nation
al Home desires to awaken new in
terest and quicken old interest in
this project to the end that we can
faithfully say to ourselves when we
think Of the work we have done

amused the gathering. He also
proved his poetical ability by COM
