coln last Wednesday, taking a load
of chickens to the market and bring

Stromer. who had some fifteen poles
on his telephone lne blown down.
Lee Coatraan, of Elmwood. was a
visitor in Alvo on last Wednesday,
and was impressed into service by

Hal Skiniw-r has juFt completed
the man uf;n ture of a littice partition
in the Hit kerson .tore. w hich has
added much to the appearance of the
place. The changing of the two
stores of Alvo has made s6me of the
neatest and be-t arranged places of
business that we have seen anywhere
in the country.
Someone who told of the ball game
between th Alvo team and the Rock
Island nine gave us the dope that the
Rock Island team had won over the
Alvo boys, when in fact the Alvo
team were the winners. When you
tell again about the game, get the
facts, for we are not there and do
not know but for what you say. How
ever, we are pleased that the home
team won.
William Stewart- has been making
some repairs to the roof of his build
ing and as it is his practice to keep
all his property in the best of con
dition, he always goes after the re
pairs before they are really needed,
in order to keep the property in the
best of condition. Like many other?,
he believes a step to prevent deterioa
tion is much better than to cure it
afterwards.

WELL DISTRIBUTED
Le Suer Center Leader: The St.
Peter Herald Ftates that citizens of
some localities up north are yelling
their heads off at the ptte highway
department, claiming that all the
road?; being built in sournern Minne
sota, which the Herald classes mlg'nty
poor judgment. On the other hand
last Friday the Leader editor met i1
man in town along No. 7 in the
southeastern part, of the" state, whe
war dead sure' all the road fundr
were being spent in the northern part
of the state. And we have met many
similarily minded in this section.
Likely the truth is that there are
several talking in both instancer
who do not know what they are talk
ing about. If you want to find out
what becomes of the trunk hgihway
funds. just take your old boat some
fine afternoon and start out to drive
over the 7. BOO mile j-ystem of the
ftate. and keep it up until you have
fin-shed, and you'll likely find that
improvements are rather equally dis
trib'.ited as to population and traffic
rnd also further realize the fact that
nil the roads candot be built in on'
reason, two. five or ten, even if al
most unlimited funds were available
to do it.

Buick for 1928 gets away in
traffic like an arrow from a bow I
Watch the Buicks next time you
drive downtown. See how easily
they step out in front when the
signal changes. And note how
they give other cars the slip in
the friendly rivalry of traffic.
Truly amazing performance! But
amazing only in comparison with
other cars. For in every phase of
performance Buick for 1928 is
equally adept in the ease with
which it attains, and maintains,
