New York Professor Tells of Recog-

Der of Universities.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 1S.-The Asso-
citation of Urban Universities at it's
annual convention here heard Profes-
sor Charles A. Beard, supervisor Of
the New York Training School for
Public Service, and professor of poll
tics in Columbia university, discuss
Training for Public Service" Pro
fessor Beard declared the need for
public service training was increasing
far faster than the need was being
met. Since the establishment of the
New York Training School for Pub
lie Service, through the initiative of
Mrs. e. H. Hartman, in 1911, there
had been a widespread recognition
of the movement by number of uni
versities.

STOCK BUYERS ALLEGE FRAUD
File Four Suits to Recover Money and
Notes From Farmers Terminal
Packing Company.

st. Paul. - Four suits to recover
money and notes paid for stock in the
Farmers Terminal Packing company
OF st. Paul, have been filed in the
Ramsey county district court.
The plaintiffs are: Peter Olson,
Cumberland, Wis; John Carlson, Com
stock, Wis; e. P. Erlandson, Holding
ford, Mimi, and John Nelson, Upsala,
Mimi.
Olson and Carlson are suing to re-
cover money paid for stock and Err
landson and Nelson to recover notes
given in payment for stock. The
PLAINTIFFS charge Misrepresentation on
the part of the defendants.
Peter Olson, in his complaint, says
that the defendant, by false represen-
tations, induced him to give his note
for $100 in payment for one share OF
stock.
The company, Mr.. Olson charges,
does not own the 164 acres near St.
Paul intended for a site and the land,
instead of 5000 an acre, as represent
ed, is not worth more than S75. The
plant when completed will not have
the capacity represented, it is charged,
and not more than 100000 worth of
stock had been sold when it was stat
ed that $250,000 worth had been sold.
The company was paying promoters
70 per cent instead of Is per cent, as
represented, he says, and if all the
stock was sold the company would
not have over $50O,OOO, after paying
expenses, whereas more than $4,000
600 would be required to build and
equip the plant, and more than $780,
600 in ready cash would be required
for operation until returns could be
obtained.
Instead of holding the money for
the erection of a plant, as represent
ed, it is charged, the company has
been paying it over to the promoters,
and no arrangements have been made
to handle the live stock of subscrib-
ers, as promised, nor has it arranged
for any business whatever
The other complaints are similar to
that of Mr. Olson

The proclamation follows:
The people of Minnesota have
special reason to give thanks to
God for His blessings through and
by which they have peace, cona,nt-
ment and the material things nee
essary for their welfare and whole
some enjoyment. The riches of the
state, due to the fertility of it's
soil, the mineral deposits, the for
ests, the fish, the game and much
else, supplemented by industry and
frugality, are ample for the needs
and reasonable desires of all who
dwell in it. Unfortunately some
who possess more of the worlds
goods than they need give too little
heed to others, who, through mis-
fortune or other cause, have less
than actual necessities demand, and
so suffer. Will not the prosper
Gus at this time look for those who
are in want, relieve the distressed,
help the fallen to rise and bring
hope and cheer to the disconsolate
for the sake of Him who has given
to us so bountifully? There are no
unusual disturbances; tranquility
prevails, and there is little of the
bitterness and strife, leaving neigh
Dor to suspect neighbor of evil de-
signs or section to oppose section
But, greatest of all, our nation is at
peace. In the midst of the great
est war the world has known, ac-
companied with the most awful loss
of life and destruction of property
and attended by all the grief mis-
cry and woe that so terrific struS-

Our hearts bleed with sympathy for
the stricken ones. We pray that the
terrible conflict may end. We are
thankful that we have been spared
from the catastrophe that has come
upon so many of the great nations
of the world So it is especially fit
ting that we should set apart a day
for Thanksgiving, and | do hereby,
as governor of the state of Mime

do most earnestly call upon the peo-
pie of our commonwealth on that

NO SHORTAGE OF COAL SEEN
Receipts Of Bituminous at Head of
Lakes Less Because of Amount
Of Stock Left Over.

Duluth. Reports of receipts of
coal at the head of the lakes, the dis
tributing point of the northwest, for
October, show falling off from those
of last year. Bituminous was short
during the month by 2O9.144 tons, and
for the season to Nov. 1, 1,735,6S7
tons. Anthracite is slightly ahead of
last year, October showing 26,493
tons more and the season to Nov. 1,
1920 tons excess.
The fact that a much larger per-
centage of soft coal was left over from
last season, when navigation opened
in the spring, than in any other year
in the history of this port, is the chief
factor in explanation of the shortage
of receipts this year. Last winter
was the dullest season in coal in many
years. No shortage of coal for the
coming winter is, looked for. The
total receipts to Nov. this year and
last were as follows:
Anthracite Bituminous Total
