st. Paul, Sept. accompanying re-
ports from other cities with condi-
tions in St. Paul, the financial situa-
ton in this city probably is better
than anywhere else in the world, and
at least the best in the United States.
During the past week. ST. Paul
banks lent to Minneapolis grain firms
more than s 1000, 900. Deposits are
increasing rapidly and the banks are
lending to customers to the last dol
lar allowed by law.
The statement credited to Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo that banks
are boarding cash and not lending to
their full power, does not apply to
this city. Evidence to this is found
in the fact that although the rules of
safeguarding cash and otherwise pre-
venting unduly alarmed persons from
causing trouble are still in force, st.
Paul banks are not adhering to this
rule.

Despite the fact that members Of

to keep their plans for the Old Home

facts have leaked out that lend color

something worth while

in the city was held last night at
headquarters, No. 100 West Eighth

the parade were completed.
While nothing is known definitely
concerning the various features that
will mark this part of the parade,
IL is thought there will be several
elaborately-deco floats. and that
a large number OF members and their
friends will take part in Il. 1t is
thought, too, that children will be

All the Unions of the city will be
represented in the parade which will
