or two years even if the funds were
available.
Estimates of his department. placed
the entire cost of the paving job at
quarters of a million dollars, he
said. The department could not justify
this expenditure in short period of
time even if the money were available,
he wrote, which means that any work
that might be done on the road will
cover a considerable period of years.
Relocation of No. in Tower-Soudan
will be started early next year, he said,
and added that condemnation pro-
ceedings to secure right were
being pushed.
Also receiving considerable attention
from club members was the slippery
condition of the road between here and
Tower which followed the recent oiling
of the stretch. A communication from
c. M. Matthies, Virginia, district main
tenance engineer, said that "this Office
come of tbs repair work. and he
blamed the glossy surface developed by
the bituminous material used.
During 21-day period in August, it
was reported, one Ely garage pulled rs
cars out of the ditch between here and
Tower. The state department has been
working on the road for several weeks
to correct this condition.

August Traffic Toll
In State Scars to 81.

August was month of death and
destruction not only in the war-torn
cities of Europe, but also on Minnesota S
streets and highways, according to
traffic fatality figures released today
by the Traffic and Safety division of
the Minnesota Department of High
ways.
A total of Ga people met their deaths
during the month as a result of motor
vehicle accidents, an increase of %
over the July toll and a jump of 19
over August of last year. Last months
death toll brought the total number of
MinneSota'S peace-time traffic casual
ties for the first months of this year
to 1874, or an increase of "a over the
toll for the same period of 1889.
The greatest increase in traffic IA
talities this year is in the pedestrian

increase is in the age group IS and
over. Last year at this time, "a mem

SCOUTS FORM
SAFETY CORPS
To Lay Out Program of Action
for Headwaters Area at
Grand Rapids Meet.

The nations 1,429,622 Boy Scouts,
Cubs, Senior Scouts and adult leaders
are now embarking on an intensive pro-
gram in an effort "to make as SUBJ
stantial contribution as is humanity
possible to further strengthen and in
vigorate our democracy"
A detailed program of action" re-
leased by DR.. James E. West, chief
Scout executive of the Boy Scouts of
America, has been received by the
Headwaters Area Council which has
Jurisdiction for the Scout movement in
northern st. Louis, Itasca Koochiching
Lake of the Woods, Beltrami, Clear
water, Hubbard and Cass counties 1t
will be considered and activities to be
carried out selected at an area executive
board meeting in Grand Rapids, Mon
day.
The program, according to John P
Raattama, Nashwauk, president, and
A. Mattiloi, Hibbing, Scout executive OF
the Headwaters area council, involves
the strengthening of every individual
troop, cub pack and senior scouting unit
in preparation for whatever service OPP
portunities lie ahead. New groups will
be organized, enabling more boys to
become Scouts and thus increasing the
number of those trained for service
Test surveys through the years, Scout
officials point out, have shown that
three out of every four boys of Scout
age intensely desire to become Scouts
The number of existing Troops has
never been large enough to meet this
membership need.
Troops are being urged to recruit to
full strength of 80 Scouts if the avail
able leadership is adequate to the re-
sponsibility. In some cases this will
mean the addition of one or two trained
adult leaders.
While Scout training has always been
aimed at preparing Scouts to be par
ticipating citizens, equipped for effective
service to ther home community anC
the nation, whatever the occasion may
be, new emphasis is being placed on
the emergency safety corps.

FORESTERS now
Are PROTECTED
New Order Protects Forest
Officers While Enforcing
Game, Fish Laws.

More protection for U. S. Forest Of
ficers while enforcing fish and game
laws on the national forests was an
nounced at Duluth yesterday at the
headquarters of the Superior National
Forest.
Forest Supervisor Hendee said that
it is now a federal offenSe to kill a
forest officer while he is engaged in
the performance of his official duties
Hendee explained that the new order
recently signed by the Acting Secre-
tary of Agriculture, designates officers
of the U. S. Forest Service as law en-
forcement officers concerning any act
of Congress dealing with the protection
preservation or restoration of game and
other wild birds and animals on the
national forests The effect of this
order is ito bring forest officers within
the scope of certain sections of the
Federal Criminal Code which among
other things also makes it a federal
offenSe to forcibly resist an officer or
employee of the Department of Agri-
culture.
This change in the law, Supervisor
Hendee said, will in no way effect the
present cooperation between the Forest
Service and the state agencies 1t was
brought out, however, that the forest
officer now has the benefit of additional
protection while cooperating with state
agencies in the enforcement of state
fish and game laws on the national
forests. One of the early acts of Con-
gress relating to wildlife on the ma
tional forests provides that the officials
of the Forest Service shall aid state
authorities in the enforcement of state
fish and game laws.

Colorado Safety Record

Supervisor Joseph Marsh Of the
Colorado highway courtesy patrol
believes there is no excuse for a
serious automobile accident if a
driver knows how to drive and stays
sober. Marsh cited statistics which
showed that the 81 automobiles Of
the patrol have been driven a total
of 10000, 900 miles since 1935-with-
out a serious accident. "No one
has been killed and no one injured
more than slightly since the patrol
was organized" he said. "And that
despite the fact that my men drive
day and night over all kinds of roads
and in all kinds of weather and
frequently have to travel at ter
rifle clip to catch speeders or take
dying people to hospitals"

sumner, that someone won't take ad-
vantage of me and overcharge me
in this bold way?
My only assurance is the adver-
Using which / read in the newspa-
per. That is my market and my
buyers guide. 1t tells me the prices
I must expect to pay. Let the seller
who tries to charge me more be-
ware.
1t also tells me what quality
may expect. Let the seller who
tries to give me poorer substitute
beware.
So you see that advertising stabi-
Lies prices and enables me, no mat
ter how inexperienced I am in bust
ness, to buy with the same expert
ness and assurance of professional
buyer who spends his life buying for
large concern.
No one objects to paying the es-
tablished price for something he
wants. But all of us hate to be
robbed by an INSCRIPTIONS man
who, taking advantage of our ig-
norance, "soaks us good and plen-
ty."
The way to avoid being soaked"
in this complete way is to buy ad-
vertised goods from merchants who
advertise.
There was time in America
when there were no set prices. Each
merchant charged what he thought
"the traffic would bear" Advertis-
ing came to the rescue of the con-
sumner. 1t led the way to the estab-
ished prices you pay when you buy
anything today = except, perhaps,

A dozen Texas horned frogs have

they have horned heads and backs and
long horned tails. Webb obtained them
from an animal dealer friend at New
Braunfels, Texas.
Spending most of their time buried
in the sand, they can out-run mouse
when placed on the floor. They feed on
flies and insects, Webb says, and once
a month are placed in pan of warm
sugar water, which they absorb through
their skins.
