STATE CONFERENCES ON
RECREATION TO BE HELD
Meetings in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth in May, Schedu!ed-Na-
tional Leaders Are to Speak.

st. Paul. Three recreation con,
ferences, said to be the first OF their
kind, are to be held in Minnesota. In
st. Paul, May Is; in Minneapolis.

gates from so or more towns and
cities of Minnesota are expected to
discuss practicable means for the con,
servation of citizenship through con-
servation OF leisure hours.
An afternoon session in each of the
three cities, from 1:30 to 5 p. M, will
be devoted to fve-minuto reports from
Is to 20 Minnesota communities.
These will be followed by discussions
of recreation problems and possibili-
especially in the smaller COM
munities of the state.
An evening banquet at the leading
club in each city will give Minnesota
people an opportunity to hear national
leaders in recreation.
"Community Building" or "Conser-
walton of Minnesota's Human Re-
sources" is the theme OF these three
conferences. Their purpose is to
break over the prevailing provincial
ism-which makes each community
care only for it's immediate interests,
and to develop statewide vision and
spirit, a Minnesota movement-which
will make experiences of each COM
mupity to give encouragement and
guidance to all the Others

Rats and Fires.

At time when everyone Is COM
planning of the high cost Of living it
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than million dollars
worth of food each year, At that rate;
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $100,000,000 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
tonship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded of
I'll diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, 346. Of this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S30O,000,0OO per year is saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.
