End Of Rails

Modern concrete highways and
buses and trucks with their more
economic operation are sounding the
death knen Of the Indiana Railroad
interurban system, once the largest
In the United States.
Soon the company will have left
only about 200 miles Of operating
traction lines, where once existed
5000 miles of track.
The situation today is far cry
from conditions at the turn of the
century when the Indiana and 9TH
er interurban Lines started to op-
crate. There were practically no
hard roads then, no automobiles, no
trucks or buses. Electric lines bios
somed like dandelions all over the
Midwest.
When the last interurban rolled
over recently abandoned line, 10
modern, 23-passenger buses and an
equal number of tractor trailer type
truck units made their appearance
on an almost parallel route.
Company officials pledge that
modern buses and motor truck serv-
ice will be offered as operators make
the final barn only" run and quit
the controls. ;. .,ssr.t. -

agement in Washington, pointing
out that there is serious short
age of aluminium to meet defense
needs and urged that housewives
and business firms give the gov
eminent all the aluminium they can
spare without having to replace
1t. To make the task easier, Wal
ter w. Finke, chairman, Minneso-
Ia Welfare Defense Advisory Com
mittee, listed sources from which
aluminium may be obtained for con-
tribution. Here are a few:
All aluminium kitchen utensils,
tea kettles, pressure cookers, vac
uum cleaners, ice trays, picture
frames, ash trays, aluminium combs,
curler ends and similar articles.
Scrap aluminium from pistors,
hub caps. engine heads and other
parts Of wrecked or worn out auto
mobiles.
Outboard motors.
Unneeded aluminium utensils or
containers from restaurants, hotels,
institutions, stores and business
houses.
Scrap aluminium from industrial
plants using aluminium.
Aluminium collected in the cam
paign Is to be forwarded to half
dozen concentration points in the
state and from there trucking OPP
orators have volunteered to take
it to a central point for process
ing. Fully 5000 trucks will be re-
quired for movement Of the ma
terials, 1t Is expected. Mime
apolis alone hopes to gather enoug.,
aluminium for twenty airplanes.
One theater in that city has ar
ranged for an aluminium show, with
free admission to each boy or girl
bringing in an aluminium pot or
pan.

this year will be provided with a
birdseye view of the common
wealth's alluring outdoor play
ground, as well as of its other rich
natural resources, according to
Victor A. Johnston, director of the
state tourist bureau.
This will be afforded, in a large
measure, by the displays being ar
ranged by the bureau Jointly with
the other five divisions Of the
state conservation department.
These are housed in the Conserva-
ton building on the fair grounds
which for years has been one of
the major attractions of this, the
worlds largest, state fair.
The game and fish divisions ex-
hibits of live fish again will be on
hand, but larger and more varied
than ever. This showing Of Min
nesota wild game life will be ma
terially enhanced by numerous
specimens of mounted game birds
and other wild enimals figuring
prominently in the regions fauna
The tourist bureaus gorgeous

and industrial scenes will again tell
the story of Minnesota as an out
door playground in a most con-
vincing manner Displays and dem
onstrations by the departments
ofhor four diuicinnS-f forestry
lands and minerals, water and
drainage, and parks-will visualize
current development activities with
respect to all of the states major
natural resources and make it ap-
parent why the popularity of Min

Fritzie has a line of parts that
allow her to express to the fullest
her clever dramatic ability. All
members Of the cast are well suit

Stearns Ready
For Countrywide
Aluminium Drive
All Communities In
County Arrange For
Drive This Week

Stearns county was being mobil-
lied for it's scrap aluminium drive
Tuesday with at least a carload of
| aluminium ware from the county
the objective when the campaign
swings into full stride Thursday.
Sheriff McIntee, Stearns county
chairman, announced Tuesday
morning that the countrywide drive
,, will begin simultaneously with the
st. Cloud drive Thursday morn
ing. ..is iiE ST.
In the county the mayors of
towns and villages will act as chair
men in their communities, and
township supervisors will function
in the same capacity in township
collections. Youth groups, including
Boy Scouts and All clubs, will as
sist in the county solicitation.
All aluminium collected in the
county will be weighed at each col
lection. point and then forwarded
to st. Cloud which will act as a
concentration point.
From st. Cloud the aluminium
will be shipped directly to govern
mental headquarters.
Both the county and city COM
mittees stressed the fact today that
no money will be received by the
committee for the aluminium COL
lected, but all proceeds from the
final disposition of the aluminium
will be utilized in defense activities
in the state.
Preparations for the actual col
lection Of aluminium got underway

Donlin, head Of the ST. Cloud drive,
will contact the village and town
leaders in the county to make fin
al preparations for the campaign
Objective Of the nationwide
drive Is 100000 pounds of scrap
aluminium, or enough to build
fleet of 1000 U. S. warplanes for
defense purposes.

Washington: When Congress
some time ago increased the
amount which the government
would loan on wheat to IS per cent
of parity, it also changed the PEN
atty on wheat grown on acres in
excess of the individual farmers
allotment under marketing quotas
from Is cents per bushel to so per
cent of the loan value. Inasmuch
as wheat prices have increased to
where the loan value at IS per cent
Of parity is now around SO cents
per bushel, this makes the penalty
40 cents per bushel, a drastic in
crease which Congress did not
foresee.
Result has been a strong, and
justified protest from the wheat
belt. The AAA could not change
the law, but it has issued an order
which to a large extent will miti-
gate the hardship on farmers. The
order offers farmers who exceeded
their wheat acreage allotment last
spring or fall an opportunity to
carry over the wheat produced on
these acres and to obtain on 1t a
loan of go per cent Of the full
loan value or about SO cents a bus
hel. Then, next spring, if there
are no marketing quotas on wheat,
the farmer is released from the
penalty and .pay market the wheat.
If there are marketing quotas, the
farmer also may be released from
the penalty by keeping his wheat
acreage next year below his allot.
ment by an acreage equal to that
by which he exceeded his allotment
this year. Or, If the price Of wheat
should increase sufficiently to just
ify it, he may still pay the penalty
and sell his wheat.
The order, it seems to me, meets
the problem as well as it could be
met and offers the farmer a fair
chance to avoid the stiff penalty
payment.
More than any other individual
in the Administration, General
George c. Marshall, Army chief of
staff, has the confidence of men,
bers of Congress, Of all parties and
all shades of opinion on our de-
Tense and foreign policies. They
regard him as fine soldier, well
abreast of all modern developments
and having the confidence of the
army officers and men as few COM
manders have had it.
That Is why, when General Mar

DR.. and Mrs.

From Journey
Report america Is
Seeing It's Vast Self
This Season"

America is seeing its vast SELF
this season.
That's the report brought back
by DR.. and Mrs. M. G. Franta who
returned Friday from $500 mile
three weeks tour in the northwest
states and parts Of Canada.
They reported that in Glacier
National Park, Yellowstone, and
Banff, Lake Louise, in Canada. all
records for tourist travel are being
broken. Much of this great travel
they were told, Is because Of wal
conditions American travellers are
seeing the States and Canada this
season. On some of the mountain
roads, DR.. Franta said, where the
traffic Is one way, the steady line
of cars looked like "a funeral pro-
cession."
The defense effort Is a mark
ed note in the affairs of the
west, he said. Soldiers on the
highways, camps along the
way, flying fortresses are all
a part Of the scene today.
They'll bet ten to one In the
west that we'l be actively in
the war;" he said of their sent
iment.
In Havre, Montana, they visited
with DR.. Franta's brother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank J. Franta. In Spok-
ane, Washington, they We're the
guests of Lieutenant and Mrs Paul
Markson, who were married there
this spring. Lieutenant Markson
is at Fort Wright. They toured
the Bremen Navy yards in their
visit.
Impressing Mrs. Franta were the
well-kept lawns in the state of
Washington and the profusion of
roses and flowers. Thrilling too
was the ten thousand feet ascent
up Mount Washburn, in Yellow
stone, at which peak they could
look down on five laps of the road
on which they had come.
On the way out they had gone
the northerly route through Glac-
Ter, Banff and directly to Seattle
and Spokane. They returned by
way of Boise, Idaho, and Yellow
stone Park. DR.. Franta had re-
turned to his offices here this week

shall first announced his belief
that the nations defense made It
necessary to hold selectees, Nation
al Gnardsmen and reserve officers
over their one year of service, his
proposal won immediate serious
consideration in Congress. Indica-
tions now are that the period Of
service will be extended by Con-
gress without very many opposition
votes.
The chief rea,ons are two. Sc
lectees were irhltrated into regu-
lar army and National Guard units
to bring then to full strength, so
as to provide a nucleus of trained
soldiers and thereby train the units
more quickly to the point where
they could actually be used for
defense in event of an emergency.
From 40 to 10 per cent of the men
in nearly all of our 81 divisions are
selectees. Obviously, to release that
proportion of men from each unit
in the next three or four months
and replace them with raw recruits
would leave this nation with no
army worthy of the name, certain
ly with an army that would take
another three or four months of
training before it could be used
in an emergency. That is reason
number one.
Reason number two Is that a
substantial portion of our troops
now are on duty at garrisons in
Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal
Zone, Puerto Rico and similar out
posts very vital to our defense.
Like all our units, the troops at
these posts include a substantial
percentage of selectees and guards
men to say nothing Of reserve Of
ficers. Their period of service
would expire in a month or so and
the only troops available to replace
them contain large numbers of men
whose year would expire in anoth-
err two or three months. To release
all these men at the end Of their
year would necessitate an almost
shuttle service from the mainland
to these outposts, and we simply
do not have the available shipping
to do that job.
A third reason might also be
given, namely, that the army has
found that a year is hardly suf-
ficient item to train men for SER
vice in mechanical units. General
Marshall has announced that
wherever possible men will be re-
leased after their year and that
only where necessary will they be
retained beyond it. 3
In extending the period Of SER
vice, Congress and the government
are not breaking faith with draft
ees, because the Selective Service
act specifically provided in Section
8 (b) that the period of service
might be extended whenever Con-
gress declared the national secur-
ity demanded it.

In describing America to foreigners
say, "The streets In America are

Women there paved eight blocks
with silver coins to further a cam
paign Of the Royal Canadian air
force to raise $4,000 with which to
purchase training planes. The Ia
dies auxiliary Of the r. c. A. F.

ton will make people contribute to
the campaign.
While Boy Scout troops and air
force men were lined up along the
silver-laid blocks, no special precau-
ton was taken to safeguard the
coins.
