Promise of Five Borough Sys-
tenn Brings Queens and Rich
mond Into Campaign.
LIVELY IN BROOKLYN.
Old Manhattan Operators See
Big Chances for Profit in
Outside Districts.

Progress in subway rapid transit
plans started a strong wave Of home
expansion this week.
Many .Manhattan families bought
houses in Brooklyn. Old owners in that
borough bought property nearer the
lines of the projected roads. Operators
in Queens and Staten Island bid higher
figures for favorably located acreage
and building tracts.
In several parts OF Brooklyn. such as
the B~ensonhurst and Bay Ridge sec
lions. dealers In all classes OF proper
tie. were the l~iveliest OF the year.
Builders OF private dwellings found a
particularly active market. Investors
bought a large number Of fiat houses,
showing especial preference for build
ings with stores.
Rental brokers reported the heaviest
demand on record In most OF the sub
urban districts to be opened by new
rapid transit lines. The increasing flow
of population into those sections is
forming a solid foundation for q wide
building campaign. In all Of the more
available localities new building opera
tons are mainly of the fla house type.
the four-story structure being the
favorite.
PROMISE OF PETERBOROUGH
SUBWAY STARTS BOOM.
Assurance OF prompt construction Of
the projected huge subway system was
the chief reason for the weeks spirited
revival. Its wide scope was due to the
announcement a construction would
embrace all Ave %boroughs.
Persistent pressure Is being directed
by friends OF both Queens and staten
Island to get a fair share OF the subway
outlay. Extension OF the Brooklyn
Fourth avenue tubes to Richmond under
the Narrows would cost only $4,000 900.
and It Is understood that Staten Island
will be included in tho immediate con-
structional programme. The Queens
system to open that borough for the
Manhattan overflow would not involve
more than 81, 900, 900. The g lines
would bring large tracts Of cheap land
| within the reach of homeseekers who
are employed in Manhattan.
Both the Queens and staten Island
branches of the projected subway sys-
tenn would tend to reduce rents for the
average family. As Manhattan build
ers are putting up practically no fats
of the cheap and middle-class type. the
poorer families are being crowded out
and wide areas o. low-prlced suburban
land are needed to make sites for their
homes. Nearly 90 per cent. OF the In
crease in population Is among the
masses who cannot pay as much as $50
a month for family living quarters. and
all OF It must be housed In the suburbs
| because the volume OF such cheap quar-
ters in Manhattan, as well as in CEN
trail parts OF Brooklyn, is being dimin-
ished steadily as a result OF business
EXPANSION and the destruction of old
buildings to make sites for costly ones.

The mother Of the long mourncd and

several strong reasons for her denial.
IL has been stated that Mrs. Kimmel

AS TO SPRINKLING
4 Few Facts Relative to the Al
IeQed Service The Herald is
Receiving

The Herald, as we'll as other local
business concerns, pays IS cents a
week for street sprinkling service.
This week, during unusually hot and
dry weather, the sprinkler has run in
front of The Herald office as follows:

M; one trip at 3 p. m.
Wednesday, June 21-One trip at
9 q. m.
Thursday, June 22-One trip at 2
p. M, with the horses driven on the
trot.
This gives a trifie more moisture
than is found on the desert of Sahara.
The bills for the service is present
ed and collected promptly and regu,
larly every Tuesday.

Sam Ingram and party of friends

The inmates of the Minnesota Home
School for Girls enjoyed a picnic at
Caseys last week Thursday. The big
launch took them there and back.
Thoeny Austin gave ''house party
at 'The Chapel last week. The
guests were Mrs. O. Fl. Doolittle,
Chas. Doolittle, Misses Mary and Re-
becca Doelittle and Percy Hansen.
A kimona party was given last
week Wednesday afternoonby Mrs. F.
HI. Whiteman. Cards were played
and lunch served. The ladies Of the
Park and Mrs. Merryman were the
guests.
| f. Fl. Whiteman spent few days

which is located in the Palmer cot
tage for the summer. He left on
Tuesday for his duties son the road, .
having enjoyed every miuute at the
Park.
| Mr.. Whiteman's arrival in camp

DATE IS CHANGED
Special Shoot Election is NeCeS-
SariIy Postponed
OCCURS JULY SEVENTH
Date Is Put Two Weeks Later In AC-
CordanCe with Ruling of the
Attorney General

Owing to the fact that the notices
for the special election, called by the
Board of Education for the purpose of
voting on the proposition to bond the
district for s3O,OO01 did not correspond
with a recent ruling of the attorney
general of the State of Minnesota, the
election has been postponed two weeks
1t will now occur on Friday, July l.
The defect in the notices was that
they did not name the hours between
which the voting should take place.
The amended official call appears in
another column of this issue. In ac-
cordance with this notice the polls
for the election will open at p. M.
and will close at 4 p. m. The election
will occur in the Woodbury. building
on the school grounds.
The argument for a new school
building, prepared and signed by the
Board of Education and printed in the
last issue of The Herald, set forth in
good form, valid reasons why the
bonds should be voted. The total
yearly balance in favor of the new
building. according to these figures, is
81, 900. Owing to typographical err
ror this appeared in the article men
toned as $4,000. At this rate of
progress, the new building would pay
for itself in thirty years. Those who
read the article in question recognized
the validity of the reasons set forth
why new building should be erected.
The sentiment in favor of voting the
bonds appears to be groking and indi-
cations point to the proposition to
vote the bonds carrying at the special
election.

Monday evening Mr.. Atwood will

Frederick S. Atwood is notable

and has made his mark on the lee
ture platform where he goes by the
name of ''The Blind Optimist. His
lecture on ''Happiness" is really re-
markable production. In the pulpit
Mr.. Atwood is as eloquent as he is
on the platform. He is we'll worth

Amount of Rubbish

Mrs. Tom Brown, with sixteen boys
and girls i'm her civic division, assisted
by Miss Clara Carr and Mrs. Benner,
had an afternoon last week for street
cleaning. They went to the length
of four blocks gathering together six
teen little express wagon loads of rub
bish. Everything, from pair OF cast
off oyeral!s to a sardine can, was scat
tered over the streets on these four
blocks. Why can't people put their
rubbish in a barrel on their own prem
ises, thus saving the disgrace OF un-
tidy streets?
Mrs. Barto's division of boys and
girls. assisted by Miss Percy Lambert,
gathered ten loads of rubbish on four
blocks of street.
Mrs. Tobey's division Of four boys
gathered seven loads of rubbish on
two blocks, and these two blocks each
have a church on them, where people

best, and looking very pious.
The leaders of the divisions lunched
their young helpers at the close of
their work. The boys and girls
worked like Trojans.

There too much partisanship
and not enough patriotism in
America. There is much wrong
done owing to disrespect for the
law. The laws may be sufficient,
but they are not efficient. The
greatest thing in our own coun-
try is law, and it is the greatest
thing in the universe. Law has
been and ever will be. In our
country the law is made for the
benefit of the people-t0 protect
the poor. to enable the work
man to collect his wages and to
maintain him in the enjoyment
of his rights under the constitu-
ton. Disrespect for the law by
public servants and corporations
drags the respect of the law in
the dust.-John A. Johnson.

1 do not believe in the doctrine
that if you want to make your
wife happy all you have to do
is to give her plenty of money.
do not believe that possession
OF money and happiness are
synonymous. Women want love
first of all if they are provided
with the right instincts. The
great problem of today is the
making of money. 1t is unques-

cages the minds of the vast ma

Speaking of parks, the Great Nor
them Railway Company is deserving
of commentator for what it has done
for Sank Centre. On the opposite
side of the tracks at the station is
one of the handsomest parks any
where to be found, and it is only in
its infancy. But it is a beauty spot
just the same, and ten years more
will work wonders for it. This park
is kept in the neatest manner posi-
Bile by Louis Nelson, who devotes his
entire time and attention to it. Louis
Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway, passed through Sank Centre
last week and while here remarked
that the park was the finest one on
the line. He also complimented Mr..
Nelson on his intelligent care for the
beauty spot. This park gives good
first impression of Sank Centre, while
the others simply deepen that impress
sion. All of which is the best kind
of advertising for one of the finest
little cities in the North Star state.
