MEET
At tlu* regular monthly session of the County Commissioners held Tuesday very little business was transacted on account Of
the absence of County Auditor
Butler who was in attendance
at the session of the supreme
court at St. Paul.
The contract for cleaning- the
courthouse lawn was awarded
to Anton Kirch for 04.50.
Too Busy to Attend
The conditions were not favorable for a successful market
day last Saturday as the farmers were in the midst of seeding*
consequently the attendance
was rather small. However
the merchants all report a brisk
business on that day.
Another Fire in Buckman
Last Sunday forenoon the
dwelling* house of Nick Mueller,
one mile east of the village of
Buckman, was completely destroyed by fire. Most of the
household effects were saved.
The house was insured for

Let's Keep It
It is reported that Mr. Faust
contemplates discontinuing the
moving picture show on account
of the increase of insurance
rates and the cost of building a
booth and the show next Sunday will probably be the last
unless the attendance increases
sufficiently to encourage its continuance.
Why not patronize this show*
liberally and keep it here. It
affords a pleasant,cheap and often instructive evening's entertainment each week and is a
home industry. The small a-
motmt paid out for this innocent
amusement remains in the town.
Traveling shows that
here and charge a higher price
for admission are usually well
patronized and the money is
carried away. Let us encourage home, industry of all kinds
and build up our town.

Conservation has been adopted as a
permanent policy for Minnesota's future—conservation in a definite, progressive sense—as a result of the first
Minnesota Conservation and Agricultural Development congress, which waa
ln session four days in the St. Paul
Auditorium. The meeting set a standard for future legislation and state
policy. It crystallized ideas for progress in many lines. It awakened interest anew in farm and ir-lustrial education. It pledged the state as a
whole to a good roads campaign, to
more liberal treatment of state lands
and to rational apportionment of legislative districts.
• This result was taken part in by
8,038 delegates who registered with
the secretary and by several hundred
more who overlooked that formality.
There were sixteen meetings in the
Auditorium, each addressed by specialists and by bie men with messages
to give.
The delegates, who represented every county in the state, gave much
attention to the exhibit feature, collected, which also had their educational value. They formed a permanent organization. County conservation clubs will be organized, with
printed volumes of the congress proceedings to guide their work and a
second state m.etiiy; will be held next
Winter in Minneapolis.
EBERHART WELL  PLEASED.
Governor A. O. Kberhart, who issued the call for the congress and
rapped for order on the opening day,
is elated over the success of the gathering.
"This is only a starter," he said.
"The various counties are to le. organized for the movement, in county conservation clubs, by our vice presidents
and committeemen. Between now and
next year the ideas given us by experts in each line will be absorbed and
used by local organisations. The delegates to the next congress will come
well informed and ready for another
step in progress.
"It will be proper for the subjects
passed upon at this congress to be
called to the attention of the next legislature in the governor's message.
The next congress will probably convene while the next legislature is meeting and can endorse the ideas still
further. Recommendations coming
from such a large body of representative citizens are bound to have great
•weight.
"I must emphasize that this is a
non-partisan movement, with no clique
of men using it to grind their axes.
When it came to appointing delegates
I used names given by the county auditors, who were asked to find two good
men in each township who would be
likely to attend. I also named delegates on recommendation of local commercial clubs. Politics did not enter
into the meeting in any way and that
is one reaso,n there has been such a
fine spirit of co-operation and unanimity. That is one thing we have
been needing in Minnesota, to find ourselves and eacn other, and to work
more in unison for results."
partment that, you earnestly
request patrons of rural delivery out ot your office to paint
their boxes and the posts to
which they are attached a
pure white colo*-. This
course, if pursued, will not
only result in benefit to the
patron in serving to protect
his box from damage by the
weather, but will give all boxes a uniform color and serve
to fix their identitv in all
parts of the country as United Sta'es mail boxes, and will
give them a much neater and
sightlier appearance than they
now possess. It is also desired that patrons be induced to
imprint their names and b x
numbers in black block letters
about two inches high.
It is also desired that vou
endeavor lo induce road officials to paint upon the posts of
boxe-. which are located at
crossroads (but not attach
signs thereto) the names of
the towns or villages to which
the crossroads lead, with an
indicator showing tiie direc-
t i o n.
Posts to which 1 oxes should
be attached shall be set in an
easilv accessible position at
the ,-ide of the 10 id and boxes
securely fastened to a projecting arm of wood, as shown in
cut; or to a bracket of band i-
ron about three-sixteenths of
an inch thick, or, if preferred,
an automatic est-ntion arm
mav be used.
You are directed  to   inform
yourself with te:erence to the
condition of n ads and bridges
on the    rural    routes   out   of
vour office, and if vou find ihat
thev require improvement you
should present the matter    in
the strongest and   most   positive wav to   the    patrons   and
road officials, informing   them
that   improvements    must   lie
made as soon as practical.    If
after a r< asonab'e time has   e-
lapsed, the improvements have
iv t   been    made   or   started,
vou will    report   the   fact   to
this office in order that act:on
may betaken   looking   to   the
discontinuance of the service.
The department is not   immediate lv concerned in elabor-
ate road improvements, but in
the interest of ihe best service
to the largest number ot    patrons it must insist upon roads
being kept in good repair,  the
lack of which  is   usually   due
to improper drainage, and unsuitable {-.fading  and   surface
work, which can be easily and
cheaply accomplished by time-
lv work and the regular use of
the split-h g* drag   or   similar
device."
