RECALLS THANKSGIVING HERE 26 TURKEYS AGO Thanksgiving being a time for reminisences and to check up the good things that have happened to one during the past year, brought to light the fact that 26 years ago at Thanksgiving time the weather was just as it is today—sun shining ang with very little snow, with Lake Be- midji still untouched by frost, which fact is vouched for by Fred Brink. man who at that time was traveling a new road that was being built from Graceland, which is_now Ferris, to Walker, Minn., on his- way to the future city of Bemidji which then contained few settlers and sohwed very little promise of becoming the “City of Enterprise” to serve a ter- ritory like Northern Minnesota. Speaking of the first Thanksgiving ‘day here, Mr. Brinkman stated that #%“there was one fellow here who had a big white turkey and was the cent- er of attraction, paradihg around with it to remind the rest of the folks that it was Thanksgiving. This same man owned the land at the head of the lake now known as the Birchmont Beach and took me for a hoat ride up there to sell the whole parcel for $400, but needles to say I did not consider it worth money, at that time.” FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. GREICG THURSDAY Funeral services will be held Thursday morning at 10 o‘clock at the Lake Hattie town hall, for Cora Millis :Greigg, wite of George D. Greigg, who passed away at her home :near Ferhhill Monday morn- ing, following a two week’s illness. It is expected that Rev. G. F. Mor- ton of Lake Itasca, pastor of the Congregational church at Lake Hat- tie, will preach the funeral sermon. Interment will be made in the Be- cida cemetery. Mrs Greigg was the youngest danghter of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Millis of Lake Hattie, formerly of Minn., where her girl- hood was spent. After her mar- riage to Mr. Greigg they moved to GASOLINE SAVINGS WOULD PAVE ROADS (Continued from page 1) pavement over gravel roads. The weight of the average vehicle is placed at 1.36 tons. These basic fig- ures make it easy to tigure with far accuracy the gasoline savings pos- sible from improvement of any road on which is known the * number of motor vehicles using- it daily. Applied to 'the Minnesota ‘trunk highway system; the test figures in- dicate a fuel cost of motor vehicle operation, per ton mile/with 24.tent gasoline, of 66-hundredths of a cent less on a concrete Toad than on the average unpaved: road:in,the state. With traffice averages of 710 vchic- les and 966 tons a day on the Minne- sota trunk highways, the gasoline savings alone would be $2,325 a yecar plus $675 savings on a maintainance on paving, or a total of $3,000 a mile saved annually. Intcrest charges included, con- crete pavement in Minnesota costs $30,000 a mile. So the possible sav- ings on gasoline with hard-surfaced roads, with maintenance costs reduc- ed, would in ten years at the present price of gasoline, cover the gross cost of extending paving over all of the 7,000-mile state highway system. Babcock Makes Statement Commenting on the proposals to be made to the legislature, Commis- sioner Babcock said: “The highway department will re- commend first issues of state high- way bonds because it believes tue proposal just good business and what a good manager would urge upon stock-holders in a private enterprise under like conditions. The public as good roads stock-holders acting through the senators and representa- tives corresponding to the board of directors in a private business must decide wheyhdr :the proposition is timely. It will stand solely on its merits. “The succesfsul business man bor- rows funds when he finds he can use them to build economically and ad- vantageously. Minnesota with a credit of $20 per capita and only $8.14 of a debt or a net credit of nearly $12 per capita, is in better position to borrow money for needed highwayl improvements than many other states now going on with much larger highway funds and programs. Highway 'bonds and other recom- mendations to be used by the de- partment will not add one cent to taxes. Better roads already are re- turning to average car and truck owners more than they pay in motor vehicle taxes and since the state as- sumed the expense of building and maintaining the more expensive main roads, county, township and city-village levies for rtoad and bridge purposes are rapidly going down. Direct taxes for roads in Minnesota are being lowered for the first time in the history of the state. “Current trunk highway funds to date have totalled $5,000,000 less than was agreed to under Amend- ment No. 1 and reasonably expected.

To [their union ‘one child was born, a daugh- ter. Deceased also ‘leaves one sis- ter, two .brothers and her parents, all of whom are expected to be pres- ent at'the funeral services.

Highway demands are increasing as more and more people become con- vinced that good roads more than pay themselves by stopping gasoline tires, and other waste. Reasonable funds provided, the state will be able to speed up highway improvements and to the advantage of every pro- perty owner and citizen. It will be possible in all parts of the state to hasten results demanded now, where- as, otherwise more limited funds must be used to best serve the great- est number of highway users and projects in many localities will be unavoidably delayed.” Highway officials assert that so far the proposed program of high- way legislation has received unquali- fied approval when fully understood. uestions about any features, they add, will be answered promptly if addressed to the highway department No. 1246 University avenue, St. Paul LEGISLATIVE BLANK TO FARM BUREAU MEMBERS (Continued from page 1) moval of stockholders liability in co- operative associations, continuation of production studies, re-establish- ment of Minnesota wheat grades, branch banking, farmers credit or- ganizations, limiting tonnage on rur- al highways, better county agent law, more aid for demonstration work, state educational aid, preser- vation of natural resources, a state bank guarantee law, state hail in- surance law and improved free ém- ployment service.

DESERT GOLD “\ AN 4 SAuthor of __chonflnu-n‘ trom _laxt_{ssne) “Yaqui's called out another pard- ner,” said Jim Lash, laconically. Carbines began to crack. The re- ports were quick, light, like sharp spats without any ring. Gale made out round spots, dark against the background of red, and in front of them leaped out small tongues of fire. Ladd's .405 began to “spang” with its beautiful sound of power. Thorne was firing, somewhat wildly, Gale thought. Then Jim Lash pushed his ‘Winchester over the rim under a choya, and between shots Gale could | hear him singing: “Turn the lady, turn—turn the lady, turm! . . . Alaman left! Swing your pardners! .. Forward. an’ back! . Turn the lady, turn!” Gale got into the’ fight himself, not so sure: that he hit any of the round, bobbing objects he aimed at, but growing sure of him- self as actlon liberated something forced and congested within hie breast. Then over the position of the rang- ers came a hail of steel bullets. Those that struck the lava hissed away into the crater; those that came biting through the choyas made a sound which resembled a sharp ripping of silk. Bits of cactus stung Gale's face, and he dreaded the flying thorns more than he did the flying bullets. “Hold on, boys,” called Ladd, as he crouched down to reload his rifle. “Save your shells. The Greasers are spreadin’ on us, some goin’ down be- low Yaqui, others movin’ up for that high ridge. When they get up there I'm d—d if it won’t be hot for us. There ain’t room for us to hide here.” Ladd raised himself to peap over the rim. Shots were now scattering, and all appeared to come from below. A volley of shots from a different angle was followed by the quick ring of steel bullets striking the lava all around Gale. His first idea, as he heard the projectiles sing and hum and whine away into the air, was that they were coming from above him. He looked up to see a number of low, white and dark knobs upon the high point of lava. They had. mot been there before. Then he saw little, pale, leaping tongues of fire. As he dodged down he distinctly heard a bullet strike Ladd. At the same instant he seemed to hear Thorne cry out and fall, and Lash’s boots scrape rapidly away. Ladd fell backward still holding the .405. Gale dragged him into the shel- ter of his own position, and dreading to- look at him, took up the heavy weapon. It was with a kind of sav- age strength that he gripped the rifle; and it was with a cold and deadly in- tent that he aimed and fired. The first Greaser huddled low, let hig carbine go clattering down, and then crawled behind the rim. The second and third Jjerked back. The fourth seemed to flop up over the crest of lava. A dark arm reached for him, clutched s leg, tried to drag him up.. It wag in vain. Wildly grasping ‘at the alr:the bandit fell, slid down a steep shelf, rolled over the rim, to go hurtling down out of sight. ¢ “Shove—I'm d—n glad—them Greas- ‘ers * aln't “usin® = soft-nése . bullets,” drawled a calm volce.” " Swift as lightning Gale whirled. “Laddy! I thought you were done for,” cried Gale, with a break in his voice. The ranger’s blouse was open at the neck, and on his right shoulder under the collar bone was a small hole just beginning to bleed. “Sure it’s high, Laddy,” replied Gale, gladly. “Went clear through, clean as a whistle!” He tore a handkerchief into two parts, made wads, and pressing them close over the wounds he bound them there with Ladd’s scarf. “Laddy, I—I'm afraid Thorne’s done for,” whispered Gale. “He's lying over there in that crack. I can see part of him. He doesn't move.” “I was wonderin’ if I'd hawe to tell you that. Dick, he went' down hard hit, ‘fallin’, you know, limp an’ soggy Tt was a mortal cinch one of us would get It in this fight; but G—d! I'm sorry Thorne had to be the man.” “Laddy, maybe he’s not dead,” re- plied Gale. He called aloud to his friend. There was no answer. Ladd got up, and, after peering keenly at the hefght of lavs, be strode swiftly across the space. ‘It was only a dozen steps to! the crack in the lava where Thorne had fallen in head first. Ladd berc over, went to his knees, so thot Gale saw oniy his head. Then he appeared rising wilh =~ins round the ravalryman. He dragged him across the hole to the sheltered corner that alone afforded protection. He had scarcely, reached it when a car- bine crac’ed and a hullet struck the flinty lava, striking sparks, then sing- Ing into the nir, Thorne was either dead or uncon- scious, and Gale, with a contracting throat and numb,_heart, decided fof COPYRIGUT “TIC— ~ HARPER AND BROTHERS. ZANE GREY Riders of the Purple Sage. Wildfire, Etc. the former. Not so Ladd, who probed the bloody gash on Thorne’s temple, and then felt his breast. “He’s alive an’ not bad hurt. That bullet hit him glancin’. Shore them steel bullets are some lucky for us. Dick, you needn’t look so glum. I tell you he ain’t bad hurt. I felt his skull with my finger. There’s no hole in it. Wash him off an’ tie— Wow! did you get the wind of that ome? An’ mebbe it didn’t sing off the lava!” It was indeed a joy to Gale to find that Thorne had not received a wound necessarily fatal, though it was seri- ous enough. Gale bathed and bound it, and laid the cavalryman against the slant of the bank, his head high to lessen the probability of bleeding. As Gale straightened up Ladd myt- tered low and deep, and swung the heavy rifle afound to the left. Far along the slope a figure moved. Ladd began to work the lever of the Win- chester and to shoot. At every shot Gale saw the bullets strike the lava behind, beside, before the fleeing Mexican, sending up dull puffs of dust. On the sixth shot he plunged down out of sight, either hit or ffightened into seeking cover.

Ask your neighbor? Mrs. A. Breunig, 418 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, says: “It has been several years now since I have had occasion to use a kidney remedy, but before that time I was troubled greatly with my kidneys and a dull misery in my back.” Some days I could hardly get around to do my work. Even at night my back was in such a condi- tion that I got very little rest. Upon rising in the morning, I was so stiff and lame, I had little ambition to start anything. These pains, I knew, werq caused from the irregular ac- sion of my kidneys, so I lost little time in getting something. A mem- ber of my family suggested Doan’s| Cando, N.
