When a very amiable gentleman steps inte. his car or climbs into a buggy and takes a drive out into the country-and gets stuck in the mud of a bad road he immediately. calls down something besides blessings up- on the heads of the people responsi- ble for such conditions. It never enters his head that per- haps he himself is one of those peo- ple. But.he is. He is one of them because he has not done his part toward compelling our officials to see.that the roads are in proper condition. He has not raised his voice in behalf of better country roads, or if he has it has been so weak and half hearted that it has neither been heard nor heeded. It is the duty and it should be the pleasure of every citizen to talk and work for better country roads, for better roads mean more prosperous conditions generally. The man in town is just as much interested in the condition of roads as the farmer, for when roads are bad and the mar- keting of crops is difficult and ex- pensive the farmer is less prosper- ous, and this in turn is detrimental to the best interests of the man in town. This is an era or road building, and the time is opportune for us to rise to the occasion and look to the condition of our own roads. ‘We as a people are not paupers and there is no occasion for poor roads in this community. That such roads do exist is simply an evidence that we as citizens are not alive to our opportunities or our duty, and that so long as we sleep we may ex- pect our officials to share our slum- bers. ‘While we are simply jogging along others in other communities are building better roads and reaping the financial results. Boost for good roads and whoop up the boosting! WANTS INFORMATION Here’s,.chance for some of those live.wire Northern Minnesota boost- ers:. William,, Pape, . Raisin, Cal,, has written F. D, Sherman, state immi- gration commissioner, these ques- tions: “Does the sun in Northern Minne- sotashine.in winter.as well as sum- mer? Can one raise German prunes in that section of Minnesota and are the Northern Lights as beautiful as in Canada? . Are there nice sociable young, ladies there?” e Literature that Sherman sent tend- ed to, dissuade .Pape. that Northern} Minpesota is inhabited by Eskimos.or that_it is the land of the midnight sun. ., LONGEST BATTLE gutut «battlesy Of:ithe-worlds Verdun is the longesti 163 wenvm{_:m 186 East Bound Leaves. ‘Bound--Leaves:~ 187 West- \VeR. .. ou Freight-West The £0110WiRB.galy, 8 te 6 p. m.
