WHAT 1T COSTS TO LIVE.


EDITH KELLY GOULD married
FRANK j. GOULD in 1910, but
Gould got a Paris divorce from her.
She doesn't recognize this Paris d.
vorce and in New York Is suing him
for $4,000 for money spent since
their separation.
Mrs. Gould says II costs her S45,-
900 a year to uve-clothing, under
wear and shoes alone costing $18.-
900. Her dancing and music lessons
are $4,000 per year; her apartment
$1,000, and so on.
II Mrs. Gould win come to Wash

thousand fine girls who get along
contentedly on 81. 200 or less year;
who are attractive and beautiful.
We could find many thousands more
whose income is far less than that
and who manage to make good APP
pearances.
OF course they could spend more,
and doubtless would II they had the
income, because II Is natural for
girls to Hike beautiful clothes and
pretty things Of all kinds.
The point. though, Is that the vast
majority OF American girls live hap

sary for her annual maintenance.

Gravel Beach
VOLUNTEER WORKERS Do
SHOVELING. EXPENSE BORN
BY CITY AND LEGION BOYS.

Last Thursday and Friday repre-
sentatives of the Commercial Club
and the boys of Melvin Daskam Post
of the American Legion turned out
and loaded some two hundred loads of
gravel from the city pit on the west
side of the lake for graveling the
bathing beach of Lake Redwood. The
expense of opening the pit was paid
by the City of Redwood Falls and the
expense of the teams hauling the
gravel was paid by the American
Legion.
The great need now at the beach is
for an adequate bath house. Just
how this is to be obtained is not
known as the Council hesitates at
this time and under existing condi-
tions to put this expense on the tax
payers. On the other hand some of
the taxpayers are of the opinion that
this is a legitimate city expense and
should be paid from city funds.
Whether a new building is erected or
not it is the consensus of opinion that
the present one should be torn down
as conditions in and about it are very
bad.

Cost Is Little
Says F. f. Balmer
COUNTY AGENT COSTS LESS
THAN ONE-HALF CENT
PER ACRE.

The cost of the county agent SER
vice to counties of the state of Min
nesota amounts to less than one half
of a cent an acre on the basis of a
total acreage in farms, according to
Frank E. Balmer, state leader of
county agents. This, he explained is
on the basis Of data obtained from
the federal census of 1920 and the
Minnesota tax commissioners report
for 1920 and takes into consideration
the proportion Of taxes paid by towns
or rural property only. Asserting
that the gain from the service great
ly exceeds the cost, he declares that
the cost per acre of total land in
farms for the total general taxes pay
able in 1921 amounted to $1.32 an
acre. One half of cent out of $1.32
an acre doesn't add very materially
to the cost of government, he says
County agents as well as others
connected with the work are glad to
have the value of the service ques-
toned, for it must be worth more
than it's cost, else it is not worth
maintaining" Mr.. Balmer says. ssNa-
turally the record of achievement in
each county must answer that ques-
ton. For the state at large it can
be quickly proved that the gain from
the service greatly exceeds the cost. "
