against 156,137 farms In 1910, a
gain of 22,451 farms in ten years, or
14.4 per cent.
The fact that Minnesota has gain
ed many more in number of farms
than all adjoining states combined
is an indication Of the new settlers
judgment Of the opportunities Of
fered here agriculturally.
The absolutely dependable soil and
climate the progressive school sys-

In the opinion Of the committee
this avenue has made the most i'm
provement in their street during the
GUNNER. This decision should not
be taken to mean that this street was
kept the clehnest and neatest but 1t
was considered that more work had
been done on the lawns, gyirdens and
street than any other street. There
are still several bad spots on this
avenue, according to the committee,
and very little evidence was shown
during the season Of any effort made
to clean up these spots.
Blocks seventeen and twenty have
still very bad eye sores and in the
rear of the buildings there are some
very bad spots which show little evil
dence Of any attempt to clean up.
The trophy will be awarded by the
Women's Civic and Community club
to the residents of Irvine avenue as
soon as they effect an organization
to which the trophy may be present.

(By United Press.)

This article was written by Will H.
Hays in response to request made
to the United Press by chairmen of
both republican ana democratic ma
tional committees.
(By Will H. Hays, written for the
United Press.)
New York, Oct. 30.-"At the close
of every campaign the country hears
of political drifts. Some times they
are real and more often mythical.
The close of the 1920 campaign,
however, reveals drifts 50 monu-
mental and overwhelming that there
is no mistake in it's portent. It is a
drift toward America and American
ism and is extending from coast to
coast, from gulf to lake. It is con-
fined to no state or section.
1T means that the nation will
speak on next Tuesday as it has sell
dom if ever spoken before in all its
political history. It means sweep
ing condemnation and political re-
Duke of the democratic party for its
misdeeds and mal-administration
these past eight years, and the re-
storation to power of the republican
party by large and in many states
unprecedented majorities.
81 believe all this and I believe
it implicitly because l have 100 per
cent confidence in the discernment
and common sense of the American
people and because I have 100 per
cent evidence that this mass of in
telligence and intuition will not mis-
carry fat the polls"
