OLD CITY COUNCIL DIES
HELD LAST MEETING MONDAY
, NIGHT-AI.LOWS BILLS AND
GRANTS PERMITS

The old city council held its last reg.
ular meeting at the city hall Monday
evening, with Aldermen Hall, Moeg-
lein, Blake, Brown, Falk, Peterson, La
Fond and Farrow present.
A. Setterstrom was granted a plumb
ers' license and his bonds with F. A..
Nelson and Jos. Masog as sureties,
were approved. :
The Realty Improvement company
was granted a permit to remodel the
building formerly occupied by Arm
strong's billiard parlorsi
"A transfer Of billiard and pool H.
cense of j. J. Berkin to Richard Hamm
and also of the cigarette license, was
granted.
City Clerk Schallern called the coun-
cn's attention to the. fact that the
county 8 share of the cost Of repairing
the bridge had not yet been collected.
The amount was $579.48. The city
attorney stated that he would look the
matter up and report at the next meet
ing so that the bill could be presented.
Alderman N. J. Peterson brought up
the matter or a pavilion at the Pine
Pine Cove Park. He exhibited draw
ing Of the proposed navilion, as SUBJ
mitted to the Commercial club, and ex-
planned that the bidder made prices
on several different sizes, but that only
two sizes were considered by the club
members, one for 4Ox60 pavilion, at
$815, and the other for 5Ox72 pa
vilion for $1O5O. The first named
would seat about 400 people and the
latter 800 to 7GO. This price was for
pavilion with shingle roof, concrete
floor, and with 9-foot posts, platform,
one row Of benches, etc., in fact every
thing except the electric wiring.
sChas. Sylvester spoke in favor Of
getting the larger size, at $1050. He
said that the sentiment among the peo-
pie for park improvements is contin-
ually increasing and now they are
heartily in favor of the various things
planned. He said he hoped the coun-
Gil would give at. least half Of the mon
ey for the construction Of the pavilion
and he said he believed the rest Of the
money could be raised by popular sub
scription, as the lodges and other So
cieties would be willing to help pay
for it.
The sentiment of the council men,
bers seemed to be in favor of build
ing the pavilion and the council pay
ing at least $500 toward it, bAt as it
was necessary to appoint a committee
On, it, and as the old council would
last only a few hours longer, it was
tleemed best to lay the matter over un-
the meeting of the new council, the
following evening, and this was done.
Frank Kiewel brought up the matter
Of an appropriation for the band for
summer concerts, but this matter was
also finally laid over until the next
night. The council indicated that it
was willing to appropriate $3.50, the
amount necessary to get the band, but
as there was some misunderstanding
as to exactly how long the contract
should run, no action was taken.

"Green Fancy,"

Fancy. like type and paper and the
other necessities of books, has almost
become one of the requirements in a
George Barr McCutcheon novel. And
so, when he names his new book
Green Fancy the reader may well
De prepared for the usual fast action
Graustark novel. No, the new Christ
mas McCutcheon book is not a ro-
nance of Graustark. The doings of
the Princess Yetive and the others so
familiar to the hundreds and thous-
ands of Graustark readers are forgot
ten in the new book and, perhaps be-
cause the author is at loss as to
what to say regarding the possibility
that Graustark is now at war. he has
removed his favOrite scene of action
TO New England. International af-
fairs is the timely subject of the new
McCutcheon book and into a tangled
bit Of a story in which a countess
is involved and incidentally the crown
jewels of royal house, there comes
a New York engineer and clubman
who with the customary ease of the
typical McCutcheOn Yankee defeats
the schemes of adventurers and 9th
ers whose motives are not the best.
The McCutcheOn story is up to the
standard.

COAL SUPPLY NOT POSITIVE.
Supply at University Won't Justify
Opening Buildings at Night.

The coal supply at the University is
still too precariOus to justify the
opening of buildings at night
The supply seems assured but not
positive. The ten carloads obtained
from the Big Muddy Coal Company
will only last ten days in cold
snap.
Eight boilers are going now to heat
the East and West campuses and the
buildings on the State Farm. At
Read Hall, Rothwell Gymnasium and
the Home Economics Building sepa-
rate furnaces are maintained.
The dairy power plant, which heats
the farm buildings, has enough coal
to last most of the winter, but is on
ly running two boilers as an economy
measure. The plant west of Academic
Hall uses six boilers and sends heat
through various tunnels to the build
ings.

THE NEW BOOKS
"Why Not Narry~


To those contemplating and abl,
to marry, Anne Steese Richardson.
why Not Marry" will strongly urge
them to take the plunge; but in the
minds of those who hold any doubt
it will stimulate thought and stud,
before the dutiful step, as the author
lnterprets ii, is taken. This book is
written for both classes of younp
men.
The wife's side of the partnership
as Anne Richardson terms a success
full marriage, is also presented, for
clDly, promptingly. instructively and
pleadingly. setting forth her duties
and explaining her rewards thus
coming from faithful comradeship
with her husband.
The authors work is not one-sided.
The young husband and father is
given his due lectures on unselfish
ness, consideration and devotion to
his wife, who by virtue of her nature
demands demonstration of his love.
Why the husband is so often indiffer-
ent. the cause and remedy-all such
problems that confront the married
couple are treated according to their
relative values.
On the whole this book is very
helpful, interesting. entertaining and
thought ht-provOking.

Cotton is the most important of oul
agricultural exports.
The market value of crops thi.
/ year will be 20 per cent in excess Of
the value last year, it is estimated
and the market value of live stock
so per cent greater.
There are now more than 900, ,000,-
900 acres devoted to farming, valued
in excess of $4,000. 100000. There
were 3O0,00OOOO acres used i'm 1850
Even with this tremendous acreage
In cultivation, there are still some
SOC, 100000 acres of land in the arid
zone of the West and Southwest that
can be reclaimed and made available
for agriculture.
The United States produces in cCm-
mercial quantity every mineral
known in art and industry Coal IS
one of the most important. In the
year ending September /, 1917. the
! production tOtaled more than 10000
600 tons. We produce more than 62
per cent of the worlds copper We
| produced 100000 tons during the year
ending September l. 1917. During
| this same period our production CT
iron. next in Importance to coal. to-
tailed more than 75,OO0.OOO tons. Our
annual production of gold amounts
to slightly Jess than $lOO.0O0000 a
year at present. In 1916 the prOdu>
ton of silver amounted to $50, ,000. 900.
Owing to the war, the mining indus
try is now enjoying the greatest pros
perity of its history.
The forests of the United States
cover 550.000.000 acres, One-fOurth
the area of the whole country. Four
ffths of this is privately owned. The
present rate of cutting, however, is
three times the rate of growth, and
unless renewed vigor is directed to
the elimination of waste, the next de- !
cade will witness a scarcity of native1
timber.
There are today more than 100000 |
manufacturing establishments in the I
United States with total capitaliza-
ton exceeding $4,000 900, 900 and

1t is estimated that our present
known stores of coal, which is the
basis of practically all our indus
tries, and iron ore and copper will be
exhausted by the end of the century =
at the present rate of mining The
waste in coal mining exceeds 80 per
cent and is great in the other min
erals.
In the fiscal year ending June 80.
1917, we exported merchandise to a 4,

while our imports amounted to 81 ,
