GIVE Estimates ON
O|L|NG CITY Street

Scott P. Hart, state highway engi-
neer, was in the city Monday. Mr..
Hart was here to make a survey OF
the proposed oiling project on Plen-
tywood's main street.
The engineer advised that the
proposed oiling would he delayed
until the time when the contract is
let for the oiling of the Plentywood-
Culbertson highway which is expect
ed to be completed next summer. BY
completing the oiling here at that
time the cost would be reduced in
view of the fact that complete equiv
ment would be available for the
work.
Mr.. Hart further advised that In
order to give a satisfactory oiling
job dirt must he taken off the street
and a coat of gravel put on and then
oiled.
An oil surface put on the street In
its present condition would not be
practical. The estimated cost fol-
the oiling is approximately 800 for
each 25-foot lot on Main street.
1t has been learned here that the
proposed oiling project on the high
way through the city will be delayed
until workmen have cut the highway
down. 1t is too high at present &C
cording to engineers. 1t is expected
that relief labor will be used by the
highway department in this work.

WILL MISS 1t, IF GONE
(OliVia TimeS)

Much feeling has been aroused
along the line of the Minneapolis and
ST. Louis railroad over the proposal to
discontinue railway service ON por-
tions of that road. The proposal will
mean the loss of employment to some
thing like 1900 workers and it will
mean the loss of service to people liv-
ing along that line that is incalcul-
able. Mass meetings are being held
protesting against the carrying out of
the proposal and steps are being
taken to secure, if possible, federal aid
to enable the M. & ST. L. to carry on.
To the ordinary person it is not I'M
derstandable why railroad company
running through a rich and fertile
section of the country should have
to pass into the hands of receiver,
unless it be that highly watered stock
and high-paid officials absorb more
than the profits.

ALL is HONKEY.DORY

The excitement which ran high at
the time of the MinnesOta-Iowa foot
ball game Saturday. due to a remark
alleged to have been made by Gov
ernor Clyde Herring of Iowa, was all
wiped out in fun and laughter yes
terday when the governor from the
Hawkeye state delivered prize hog
to Governor Floyd B. Olson of Mime
sofa.
Sports are sometimes taken very
seriously. in fact there are times
when the fans get all wrought up and
fighting mad" Minnesota football
players were credited with having
been rough against the lOwanS last
year, SO when they were to do battle
again Saturday, Governor Herring is
supposed to have said that if the of
ticials of the game cannot take care
of the Minnesota boys the crowd
will"
Excitement ran high, but Governor
Olson assured the Minnesota fans
that the Iowa governor was a good
fellow-not dangerous ne was
gopher players and fans. and on top
of that Olson made wager with
Herring that Minnesota would win.
The bet was paid when the hog.
Floyd of Rosedale." was delivered
to the Minnesota capitol amid short
talks. hand shaking. taking of pic
lures and general good fellowship.
Governor Herring said that Floyd
of Rosedale was good Iowa Demo-
crat but would not mind what polit-
zeal trough he was to eat from so
henceforth would be FarmerLabor-
lite.
Thus Governor Olson again demon
strated that he has an excellent sense
of humor. turning tense situation
with thousands of excited fans into
one of fun and good spirit. Minnesota
won the football game and Olson sale
that the Gophers would continue tt
instruct the corn huskers to pla,
better game.

THE ADJUTANT SPEAKS

Two important points were empha-
sized and we'll presented by State
American Legion Adjutant c. A..
Zwiener in his speech at Askov on
Armistice day.
He stated that the privilege of citi-
zenship carries responsibility and
added that there is altogether too
much of criticism and ranting around
with loose ideas.
The other important point brought
out by the prominent legionnaire was
that the American Legion as body
is not concerned about the type of
government they have in Russia,
Italy, or Germany. He added that if
they have chosen the government
they like and it suits them, their
needs and requirements. all we'll and
good for them. He said we have our
form of government here in America
and that the governments of the above
named countries are not suited to
American tastes and ideals.

ANOTHER DIGEST POLL
(Springfield Advance-PreSS)


The Literary Digest is at it again.
Another nationwide poll is being con-
Quoted to learn how the people stand
now on the Roosevelt New Deal. The
question people are asked to vote on
is do you NOW approve the acts and
policies of the Roosevelt New Deal
to date?" A yes OF no answer is
asked.
While the result of this poll will
throw considerable light ON the sub
ject, great many are going to be
unable to give yes or no answer for
the reason that many approve of some
and disapprove of other New Deal
prove of the AAA but disapprove of
the CCC or the IVA. Most people
will approve of the bank guarantee
law but disagree on the devaluatiOn
of the dollar. Some will approve Of
old age pensions and unemployment
insurance but balk at the AAA.
Most voters are going to reserve
their decision until they see what the
Republicans are going to do about a
candidate and platform. Will the
party go conservative or liberal?
The Digest polls have been fairly
indicative of national sentiment, al
though they do not reach the people
in the poverty class. and in the COM
ing election this class is going to
play an important role. 1t isn't like
ly that the result of the Digest poll
will meet with the general acceptance
that has marked previous polls.
