A FAVORED LAND

One has but to read the col
umns of the daily press to be-
come convinced that central Min
nesota' is indeed q favored re
gion, a land of promises, a
modern Utopia.
From all parts of the United
States come reports of crops rid
died by hail, burned up with
heat or swept away by floods,
but in this part of the world
everything is normal. Crops OF
every kind are above the aver
age, they are now safely harvest
ed and a wonderful prosperity
prevails.
Considering the manifold adj
vantages this region presents to
the farmer and home seeker the
price of lands remain remark
ably cheap. The Herald is
thoroughly convinced that if the
residents of other states who are
contemplating removal would in
vestigate this part of the state
before investing we would have
such an influx of new settlers as
would astonish even the most OPP
tOmiStic.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

There is nothing that so be-
speaks the agrressiveness. pub
lie spirit and up-to- dateiveness
of municipality as the charac-
ter of their public schools.
There is no city in the state Of
similar size that can boast of
schools of the same character
and excellence as Sank Centre,
Our High School under its
present efficient management Of
fers opportunities to the yonng
men and women that are super
ior to most of the colleges of
twenty-five and thirty years ago.
The High School building is
thoroughly up to date and finely
equipped. Besides the regular
High School course there is Of
fered a normal course, al agri-
cultural course, a manual train
ing course. The manual train
ing department is exceptionally
well equipped having in connec-
ton blacksmith shop and turn
ing lathe.
All these different departments
are under capable management
and are we'll patrOnized.
Three rural districts are con-
solidated with the Sank Centre
district and the children are con
veyed to the school from their
homes in covered buses. 1t is
an inspiring sight to witness the
bright eyed youngsters as they
come in from their country homes
each morning.
Sank Centre is justly proud of
her schools and many are the

Ignoring the emphatic warnings OF
Representatives Walters, of Psnnsyl-

word pictures Of the District, after the
enactment Of the George bill in its pres
ent form, being saddled with political
henchmen and job hunters, the House
District Committee yesterday informally
put its seal Of approval upon the pro-
posed new method OF taxation and as
sessment in the District Of Columbia.
While the bill was not reported, its
chief features were adopted and the
measure is now practically in shape to
be reported.
Desperate efforts on the part Of RED
resentatives Walters and Igoe to get
through certain amendments which they
claimed were absolutely necessary lest
the bill prove to be infinitely harmful
to the District. were overridden by the
steam roller opposition Of Representa-
ttves George and johnson and swiftly

of Two BuiIdin1s.

In stead Of using the s, $4,000 appro-
priated for the erection Of a Central
High School. for one building. the Dis
trict OF Columbia will have two schools
for the same amount. II q bill introduced
In the Senate yesterday by Senator Lane,
Of Oregon, authorizing the division OF
the appropriation, 10 passed.
On the ground that X would be better
to have two different institutions than to
house 50 many pupils in one building.
the author Of the bill suggests that $50
900 shall go to the erection of the new
Central High School at Eleventh and
Clifton streets northwest, and the remain
ing $4,000 be expended for q new Central
High School somewhere in the Eastern
section Of Washington.
The District Commissioners are in
favor Of his plan. asserts Senator Lane.
His bill was referred to the committee
on the District of Columbia.
Senator Smith, of Georgia, supported
Senator Lanes measure. Senator Calling
er, former chairman of the District
Committee, while admitting that the
sum appropriated was unusually large
for its purpose, pointed out that II was
appropriated with the idea Of looking
after the needs OF the future. Senator
Lane urged quick action on the matter.

WALL STREET BANKS ASK
CURRENCY BILL CHANGES

New York, Dec 1a-Heads of several
Wall Street banks have made an appeal
by telegraph to Senator Owen that Sec
ton "a in his currency measure be
amended so that the New York Clearing
house may continue to conduct examina-
tons Of its member institutions. Un-
der the construction placed by the bank
ers on Section "a they believe that ex-
aminations by the Clearing house As
sociation would not be permissible unless
approved by the government board, ex-
aminations being limited to government
officers.
Local bankers also are desirous that
the owen bill be modified so that a MEM
Der bank may do business with an insti-
tuition that is a non-member without
written consent Of the Federal reserve
board.
The names Of several Wall Street men
are being whispered about the financial
district as likely to be named for places
on the Federal reserve board.
