Half of Minnesota Cars
Haze Illegal Headlights.

Half of the motor vehicles operating
on Minnesota's streets and highways
have defective and illegal headlights
and 10 per cent have defective brakes.
This is the finding of the Minnesota
Highway patrol in a report to N. w.
Elsberg, state highway commissioner,
after conducting 16 testing stations in
various parts Of the state last week.
Between 400 and 500 vehicles were
tested at each station.
AS result, statewide order to take
motor vehicles with illegal headlights
or brakes off the highways has gone
out to highway patrolmen in general
drive. The April report of the patrol
just completed shows 253 drivers ar
rested for illegal equipment so far this
year and 3,239 tagged for various in
| fractions of the traffic code on lights
The 16 testing stations will continue
to operate, according to patrol officers
and from 5000 to 5000 motor vehicles
both pleasure cars and trucks, will be
stopped and tested weekly, the stations
being moved frequently.

Water Being Pumped
From Alaska Shaft.

Many in this city will recall the
Alaska shaft at the Soudan mine which
is now being unwatered. The shaft has
been idle since 1903 and the water IS
being pumped therefrom by reason of
the development of the mine in another
part of the property, the development
being of greater depth and to be carried
in close proximity to the old shaft.
The ASaska has an incline opening
with vertical depth of about 725 feet
1t was sunk previous to the year 1900
and was abandoned in 1903 when the
now permanent shaft was made avail

The Soudan mine owns the dis
tinction of being the first in the iron
mining history of Minnesota and has
been constant shipper since 1884.

road petitioners has given it out that
the opposition to the road was knock
ing me out of thousands of dollars by
the prevention of property sales"
Retaliatory measures have begun on
both sides to try and make the op-
position see the light. How far this
goes we are at loss to say. Listening
to both sides of the argument will make
one jittery.
The first real retaliatory measure
taken is one by the road proponents
who have formed themselves into a
transportation group to cut the heart
out of fares to and from Eastwood lake.
The group proposes to transport people
from Winton to Eastwood and return
rs per cent less than is now being
asked.
This will furnish transportation over
Fall lake for 25 cents and another Is
cents over the portage, making dollar
for the round trip with the Eastwood
lake fare to be figured. But it is
stated that the saving in fares posi-
lively will be rs per cent.
Three motor boats will ply Fall Lake
with three trucks on the portage with
regular trips scheduled. Two boats are
on the Eastwood lake end at the dis
posal of the transportation group and
more are expected to be added on the
run as occasion demands, it was stated
by Leo ChoSa, one of the group.
He also stated that the fare for the
round trip would be 81 and that 9
family of five would be transported fol
$3.50. Mr.. ChoSa stated that the rOune
trip fare for family of five under TIT
present arrangement was $4,000.
The transportation company a
formed is composed of Leo and Henri,
Chosa and William Wenstrom. Other
also have signified their intention o
joining the group in case they ar
needed it is said In discussing tn
subject, Mr.. Chosa stated that MI
Wenstrom would be in charge of tn
transportation.

Wheaton Has First
Oil Found in State

Wheaton-Since oil was struck at a
depth of 1854 feet six miles southwest Of
Wheaton, Minnesota has an oil field,
and hundreds of people have visited
the well which is being dug by Robert
Lent. The fact that oil rose in the
pipe 655 feet in IS minutes proved that
a large vein had been struck. Six
barrels of the dark green fluid which
by some visitors has been designated as
crude oil of the finest paraffin base
commanding a premium on the market
were pumped from the pipe one after
noon with the level continuing to rise.

Early Name of Cincinnati

The name Losantiville became
Cincinnati at the word of Gen. Ar
thur St. Clair, first governor OF
the Northwest territory. On visit
there in January of 1870, the rough

like of what he called an effeminate-
sounding name by ordering that the
town be known as Cincinnati. This
latter name was in honor of the
Order of Cincinnatus, a society of

BY HELEN ROWLAND

U1EIEN a wealthy widow mar
w ries q man half her age,
it merely means that she has
added one more to her collec.
ton Of expensive pets.
A small boy can't see the use
of washing the back Of his neck
and no grown man can see
the use Of keeping his con-
science clean on more than one
side at q time.
Concrete takes twenty one
days to harden; but it takes
longer than that for q mans
love to get firm and solid
enough to hold up under the
thought Of tying himself for
life to just one woman.
If you are q man, never
waste your time trying to fig
ure a woman out; just keep
quiet and wait-and she'll soon
spill over and tell you all about
herself, or burst.
It's the plain, undecorative
man, like the plain. substantial
kitchen clock, that can usually
be most depended on. The orna-
mental, drawing-room variety
are always either fast, unreli-
able or running down.
*& Il
Until the day when she re-
nounceS her last hope Of seeing
some mans eye light UP at the
sight Of her, the average woman
will always do SOMETHING to
her hair.
The old fashioned girl used
tears as a weapon when she
wanted to get her way: but a
girl would hardly be able to
soften q mans heart today, with
streaks Of mascara running
down her cheeks.

cannot be Economically faithful
to one woman all his life. No
body can say that, until some

1t is too early to say this def.

But there is a sturdy SIM
plicity that asks no odds of any
other flowers-and a great,
joyous outpouring Of color.
No flower on earth has such
an ecstasy Of color. I am looking
at some Of them out Of my
cabin window as I write-a riot
GUS tangle in a spaded bit Of
clearing, flaming against the
mosS-grown, gray rocks, the
wine-dark shadows of the forest.
Straight blue-green stalks,
thick heads Of bloom salmon
and crimson, apricot, violet and
magenta, rose, copper and burnt
orange, bursting from the rich
black soil, tumbling over the
stone walls, spilling across the
path in their eager abundance.
I look. I drink in their color.
I fill myself with their fierce
virility. And q rush Of glad
ness sweeps through me. Hot,
animal pleasure. They are as
compelling as that .as salts
flying. Like hunger and thirst
:. strong natural laughter and
love good food, a cracking
fire, a gypsy song
Yes, I like zinniaS. They are
harsh, but it is a healthy harsh
ness. Like cleanness and hon.
esty-like all natural things
which are still unperverted.
They have no fragrance, but
there is a good pungency to
them.
It reminds me of the soap we
used to make-stout, home
made yellow soap, not alluring,
but deeply cleansing.
I like the habits of zinnias,
too-their outdoor personality.
You cannot imagine them in
swank hotel Hobbies or at select
bridge tables (puffy, pallid faces
fostering with greed or in those
gilded rat-holes where Silken
Susies and their pick,me-ups get

Zinnias have no place in all
