Women voters, as well as men, may read with Interest this brief explan ation of a vitally important subject that is taking much space in news* papers: ,. vV Rpad funds of $16,682,000 were spent lastj year by Minnesota counties, and towns. From 65 to 80 cents ofc every doll&r—probably more than $10,000,000 of the total—was used to maintain and -improve main highways. Not more than $7,000,000 and possibly nearer $5,000,000 was spent on the local or farmers' roads. Minnesota proposes to get more than $26,000,000 of road money next year and more each succeeding year, all without increasing taxes or issuing bonds. Here are the approximate figures: Tax receipts .$17,000,000 Automobile license fees ... 6,300,000 Federal aid 2,840,000 Total .$26,140,000 TH& state proposes next year to take over the main highways and with license funds and federal aid money to maintain and improve them as traf fic, availability of materials and other conditions demand. The fund provid ed will be ample, officials state, in view of the scarcity of labor and ma terials and because liberal appropria tions made by local authorities, some times at the expense of the other roads, have put many main roads in good condition. Counties and towns will be left $17, 000,000 of tax funds for upkeep and improvement of local roads, without main highway demands to take three fourths of it as before. They will con centrate all efforts and have far great er funds for the building of the best lateral roads. Every road will be a good road— everybody happy and nobody hurt, for automobile and truck owners who must pay the extra cost faVor the plan because of the big savings on car up keep, tires and gasoline that good roads make possible. But more than half the men and women voters must vote 'yes' on Amendment No. 1 on the pink ballot at the November 2 election to put the new plan into effect. Otherwise, Min nesota probably will stay stuck in the mud, and also, may be forced to raise road taxes and sell bonds to keep from becoming completely interred. NEW PAVING IN HADES A story is-* told of a Minnesota man who died "before he got to vote 'yes* for Good Roads Amendment No. 1. He was a good booster for good roads and wanted to pay the higher license fee to help build them in Minnesota. He took his car along, however, and while ferrying across the Styx, learn ed there were good roads down below. There he found the roads dry and smooth. "Good roads are what brought me here and I think I'll stay." he announced. "Where's the nearest filling station?" "We have no gas down here," the guard answered. "No gas?" "No, that's the hell of it." RELIEVED OF BIG BURDEN Counties and townships will be re lieved of the burden of improving and maintaining main highways which are taking from 60 to 85 cents of every road dollar. But they will continue to receive all state aid and tax funds —more than $15,000,000 a year—and spend every cent on the other roads. All provided, of course, that Minnesota voters adopt proposed Good Roads Amendment No. 1. FACTS OR MERE RUMORS The Legislature of 1919 representing all parties and sections went on record almost unanimously as being convinc ed that Amendment No. 1 offers the best plan for good roads. A decision based on careful study and investiga tion is to be preferred to rumor or hearsay. That means to vote 'yes' on Amendment No. 1 on the pink ballot Nov. 2. SAVE $1,500,000 EVERY YEAR Enough 'yes' vote for Good Roads Amendment No. 1 will mean that Min nesota will get its full allotment of $2,840,000 a year in federal aid. Too few votes will mean that more than half will go to other states with mod ern road plans. And $1,500,000 or more is worth saving. MUD, MUD, MUD! Mud, mud, mud! Pull Minnesota out of it! Be sure to vote 'yes' for Good Roads Amendment No. 1. That means all roads will be good roads. The extra cost will be met with sav ings on automobile upkeep,: tires and gasoline. LET'S LET'EM Let automobile and truck.owners pay. for good main highways with savrj ings on car.upkeep, tires and gasolift(%, and feiye the counties and.towns t^rge., times .as1 much to improve loca,i. jcq^dp. Just y$e''yes* .on Good Rqads Arnflgd ment No. 1 on the pink ballot Nov. 2. COUNTIES AND TOWNS GAIN All additional funds needed are pro vided for state trunk highways by Amendment No. 1 and that leaves counties and towns three times as much for use on local roads. Votes yes' will "make every road a good road." STICK TILL YOU'RE RIGHT Keep on inquiring about Good Roads Amendment No. 1 until you make up your mind to vote 'yes' and then only will you have the propose* right, ••"VOfV fih".. in .- A', COURTLAND. *T* & Mr.| and Mrs. Herman Schapekahm of New Uvbn, visited at,,ithe M.

THE SUCCESSFUL »i|\ To Help" Shorten Those Long M^inter Evenings Last winter was a long one. From all indications this winter will be another long one. A cozy comfortable living room will b? a real pleasure will help to shorten those long evenings. Wouldn't an upholstered living room suit be a big improvement in your home? Beauty and Comfort Combined Every member of your family would be delighted with such an at tractive suite in the living room. And when your friends come in vou would be more than proud. These suites are not necessarily expensive. We have a number of good looking, serviceable suites and single chairs and rockers at moderate prices. Davenports $55 and up.

The selling price of Buick cars is made up from the items of cost and not from what we think the public will pay. In order to assure the most doubtful, the Buick Mo tor Company advise that present prices are guaran teed to all purchasers to May 1st, 1921, therefore, there is no reason why those who figured on a Buick closed car this fall should not place their orders at once. The Pence Automobile Company, the whole sale distributors, advise that closed cars are allotted as fast as they reach Minneapolis, consequently it is important that we get our orders on file without delay. The 1921 Buicks are the finest cars the factory has ever produced and we are confident that before the year is out Buick popularity will be greater than ever. P. H.
