OFPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCERADINGS — ———————————— OUR SYSTEM OF ROADS IS BEST ‘(Rudolph Lee in The Long Prairie Leader) The report of Commissioner Babcock showing the results of the first year’s administration of the road system under the new Babcock law is indeed an interesting article. It is a report in which ev- ery citizen can well take pride. It indicates the successful way in which our state road system is administered and calls atten- tion once more to a circumstance authorities from .other states are coming to recgnize, and that is that Minnesota has the best state road system of any state in the Union. The work is efficiently and economically done, and hundreds of miles of good roads are being built in a permanent way. It will be only a question of three or four years at the outside when the great 7,000-mile road-build- ing program undertaken by the state will be com- pleted, after which the state road work will be largely a matter of maintenance and then the add- ing of other mileage to the system. It was never the intention to have the state im- mediately pave a big mileage of state roads. The plan was to grade and gravel the system so as to bring a good road to every section of the state, and then to pave on those sections in which travel was unusually excessive and of a character such that the ordinary gravel road would not stand up under it. It looks as if Minnesota had at last adopted the proper system and there is every reason to be- lieve that within ten or fifteen years so many miles of state road will have been completed, and so many additional miles added to the system, that Minnesota from one end of its area to the other will be a state of good roads. §—-5 Off-again-on-again,gone-again-Finnigan has noth- ing on the Genoa conference. §—13 Senator New is the first to go into ' the Newberryal grounds. There’ll be more to follow. TRUTH AND RESEARCH By Professor Daniel Starch B Graduate School of Business Administration, Harvard Unviersity. First, in my opinion, the most important devel- opment_in advertising during the past twenty years, has been the movement for Truth-in-Adver- tising. © The Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, acting through the national and local vigi- lance committees and the better business bureaus, have been the chief and guiding force. The work already accomplished represents probably the most important development in the entire history of ad- vertising. The second outstanding development is the one just now beginning, namely, the application of scientific research methods in making and carry- ing out advertising plans. Real research methods® are just beginning to be worked out and applied. Next to the truth movement, this will be the most potent factor in reducing waste and in making ad- vertising more effective. —3 . GIRLS WIN, AS USUAL Girls in the Bemidji high school have again won the class honors. It’s a habit the girls have. Every year and almost everywhere the girls are there with “their ears pinned back” when it comes to get- ting the high standings. They may not know so much about Babe Ruth, the new football rules or why they call him “Strangler” Lewis, but if you want to know what is on the other side of the Alps and why, or how to do goemetry, explain astron- omy, talk Latin, or the precise location of the Bay of Biscay, asks sis—she knows. If woman is man’s intellectual inferior, as certain solemn high-brows have opined, she sure is some cute little camou- flager when it comes to Commencement Day. But the biggest mystery of it all is that after a per- sonal acquaintance with the facts of all the text- books, so many of them (outside of Bemidji) don’t know any more about making a batch of biscuits than a wall-eyed pike does about the Genoa con- ference. 4 NOLAN FILES W. I Nolan, speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives at the last session, has once more filed as a candidate for the legislature. Mr. Nolan is one of the few city members of the state law-making body who has shown himself to have a state-wide vision. His home is in Minne- apolis, but as a public servant he has been able to place Minnesota above his own city. In his important capacity as speaker, Mr. Nolan was fair, just and business-like in directing and maintaining to a degree of surprising efficiency the work of the representatives. With these facts in mind, we can assure W. I that there will not be a voie cast against in Bemidji —and also that there would be many cast for him if he were running in this district. f—3 Public agitation has been started against young men driving automobiles with one arm while out with their sweethearts.

Little Bobbie Jones was told to write an essay on “Doors,” and the effort which he sent in was as follows:— “Most houses have all the doors that they need, and no house is com- plete without at least one. The two main differences between a door and a gate is, first, their opposite location; and, second, that people have much less respect for a gate, and would rather kick it than knock on it. “But a gate is more useful than a door because it does everything that a door can do, and, besides that, it can be climbed over, and often is. “The doorhandle is & small but im- portant part of the door which people never appreciate until it comes off. Most people never notice the door- handle unless it is brought to their notice on account of having jam spread all over it. “Doors are great things to give peo- ple privacy, and would give them still more if it wasn't for the keyholes.” AN AID TO BEAUTY is soudn, white, even, beau- tiful teeth.
