All teachers in the public schools will be given the same privileges as the soldiers, under the homestead laws, if an amendment recently of- fered by Congressman Steenerson becomes law, and it is said to be reasonably certain that it will. The only restriction is that the teaching must be done in the schools of the 8tate or territory in which the home- stead is located. Mr. Steenerson’s argument is that the teachers are entitled to special ¢onsideration because of their serv- lces to the nation, and because their time spent in teaching is of greater economic value to the nation than the same amount of time spent on a homestead. This bill will give practically every teacher a chance to become the owner of a piece of land if there is any governmnt land in their state. The Ninth district congressman also proposes that the expenditure of $2.50 per acre in clearing, improving or draining timber or swamp lands shall be sufficient to prove up on. regardless of the area under cultiva- tion. This fits the requirements more nearly to the mneeds of th timber eountry.—Warroad Pioneer, August 27th. Those Americans who have been playing checkers in Mexico will now Ye given a chance to “Move,” or take the consequences of being “jumped.” There’s a good referee on the job, too, so we needly worry about having any men stolen off the board, and we don’t believe that they’ll jump us un- less we are dreadfully in the way. After a trip over his state, the editor of the Springfield Advance re- turned home and burst forth with the following poetic praise of the beau- ties of Minnesota: “We have sun- kissed and moon-haunted lakes that are like the sea, and smaller lakes that gleam like diamonds on the ver- dant breast of the North Star State. You've sometimes got to g0 among &trangers to hear about home, and, strange to say, we had to go to some of our northern lakes to hear people from Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago &0 into poetic trances over Minne- Sota’s beauties.” Some boost for Min- nesota.—Exchange.

Missouri Did It. “"Show me” is the motto of Mis- sourd, but for once Missouri did bet-~ ter than’ its motto and showed. the rest of the country how to make a success of good roads day. i Under the inspiration of the gov- ernor several thousand able bodied men deserted their offices, their stores, their shops, and their farms and worked for two days “bettering their ways.” The earnest efforts of a hundred thousand or a half million men would do a great deal to im- prove the highway of any state and a valuable by product is the interest they will ever after take in this highway problem. They will all be boosters. Minnesota had a £ood roads day, but about the only place where it was :|practically observed was at Princer ton, the home of Hon. Bob. Dunn, the author of the best good roads legis- lation Minnesota ever had, and which provided for a good roads day. Mr. Dunn took an active interest in good roads day, and made it a great 10811 success. | But generally speaking Missouri is the first state that has made this day one of statewide success. Other states are to follow: > ‘We trust that next year Minneso- ta’s good road day will start a new epoch in road building in this state. At least Bro.

It is as wide as the nation, and the rougher the country, the more difficult the roads—the more firmly the K-R-I-T is established as the medium-priced car has made good. The chief of the reasons for this is, of course, the structural quality of the car. Back of this, and overshadowing in importance every other consideration, lies the fact that every part essential to smooth running, long life, econo- my and comfort, is produced by and within the K-R-I-T organization. : s ¢ : i In other wordfi, the K-k-in n, $900 is a manu- . factured car in a.sense as binding and literal as the term implies when applied to the $4,000 or $5,000 car. ? You see how this process of manufacturing, in- stead of buying parts ready-made and assembling them, saves money for the manufacturer. And the saving in this instance—in the shape of better materials, more careful workmanship, bet- ter operative qualities—goes into the K-R-I-T and makes it vastly bettér value than the average $900 ;l'llm hvla"lxe l;:;:g;uied in Afutnr_u m; you ex- pect in er cars—Appearance, Strength, Power, Comfort—and most lmgnrunt of all—con- tinuous, perfect Service. l Quick MOney}Making Opportunity o For Good Live.
