INSTRUCTIVE TALK
ON CITY PLANNING
GIVEN HERE BY q. M. HERROID
OF ST. PAUL. DESCRIBED
WORK IN ST. PAUL.

Members of the Little Falls city
council, city planning commission and
number Of others were given a very
good idea of what city planning1s and
what can be accomplished through it
by George H. Herrold, chairman of the
city planning board Of the city of St.
Paul, who gave a talk on that subject
at council meeting here Monday eve
! ming. Mr.. Herrold came here at the
invitation of Mayor Bergheim and the
| mayor introduced the speaker after
making a few remarks in regard to
the purpose Of a planning commission
such as he recently appointed here.
"City planning is not a new science
or art said Mr.. Herrold, lit has sim.
ply been re-discovered. History tells
us of many plans for cities from the
earliest days, Wien Egyptians built a
city according to plan to house the
Pyramid Builders to the time when
L'Enfant laid down the plan for our
own city of Washington.
"The world. fair, Chicago, in 1893
possibly had much to do with calling
the attention of citizens of the United
States to the possibility of city plani

dreams did the cause much damage,

business man could not see where
such plans could be made to pay divi-

repute for number Of years until

and economist, who, working togethe~,

"And why should we not plan cities

the requirement of our family. First
we plan the necessities, kitchen, n

our family requires them and we can
finance them we add a library, a re.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE FOR
EX-SERVICE MEN

The Government offers ex-service
men, through it's insurance policies, an
opportunity to provide protection for
themselves in the event of total per
mancnt disability, and for their de-
pendcnts in the event of death, at the
lowest possible cost.
The U. S. Veterans Bureau is
charged with the responsibility of con-
Quoting this service. Due to the lack
of personnel, it is impossible to COM
municate personally with everyone of
the three and one half million persons
whose government insurance has lap.
sed. 1t is only possible, therefore, to
reach them through the public spirited
newspapers and individuals.
The right to carry government insur'
ance is one benefit conferred upon the
Veterans of the World War. Lapsed
term insurance can be reinstated by
filing out only one blank, which in
cludes a medical examination, and the
payment of two monthly premiums
one for the month of grace after the
policy lapsed, and one for the current
month. This amounts to only $1.4C
for one thousand dollars for man
thirty-one years Of age, and slightly
less for those younger, and slightly
more fop those older.
The U. S. Veterans Bureau, Keith
Plaza Bldg, Minneapolis, Minnesota
will gladly give full and complete in
formation, if the men entitled to this
insurance will only write them regard
ing it. as ~..~s,

COAL PRICES HIT BY MILD
AUTUMN

Chicago, Nov. 22:-Expectation that
some coal operators would recoup
their losses in the recent coal strike
through increased prices-a belief Civ
en- wide publicity at the end of the
strike when one or two operators were
quoted to that effect, has failed to
materialize, according to survey Of
fuel conditions based on statements
of state fuel and railroad commission
officials and coal operators in middle
western states.
The wide publicity combined with
an unusually warm autumn, discour-
aged buying by domestic consumers
to such an extent that there has been
a noticeable drop in prices in many
states. This is particularly noted in
those coal producing areas where
freight rates for short hauls are not
a major factor in setting the retail
price.
Typical Of the general trend, ac-
cording to Robert Medill, state fuel
administrator of Illinois, are prices at
the central Illinois mines. Immediate
ly after the strike the operators quot
ed screening, their lowest grade coal,
at from 1926 to 1915 at the pit
mouth. Last week central Illinois
screenings were offered as low as $3.50
and in spite Of the reduction the mines
are unable to book enough orders to
average 50 per cent production.
Similar price reductions are report
ed from several states. In Kansas
dealers are selling coal at $1.0O to So
under last years prices. Indiana
Missouri and other states report low
er prices. 81 .l' x -. -.

BOYS PET SHEER
BRINGS s. POUND
PRICE RECORDS SMASHED AT
" 1922 MINNESOTA JUNIOR
LIVESTOCK SHOW

More kids! More and better ami
mails! Higher prices! This, in a few
words, is the story of the Fifth Junior
Livestock Show, held last week at
South st. Paul. In every department
it was greater than its predecessors.
Probably the most outstanding feature
was the record breaking prices paid by
bidders for the average animal, as
well as for the prize winners.
A grade Hereford, with which Joe
lsaksen of Springfield won the grand
championship in the calf class, sold to
st. Paul store for IS cents a pound.
Last year, the champion sold for so
cents. Taking into consideration his
prize money, Joe will realize nearly
$500 on his calf.
The champion lamb, entered by Ray
mond Sullivan, New Prague, sold for
So a pound. The champion pig, fed by
Terrance L. Hagen of Belview, brought
~ cents a pound.
The 2l0 calves sold for an average
price of l4.5 cents pound. The aver
age price brought by the 81 pigs was
1913 cents a pound; 80 lambs aver
aged 1886 cents pound.
Boys and girls from 20 counties in
the state who entered animals in the
show had the worth of "stick-to-it-
tiveness' we'll demonstrated in the
judging ring, when Joe Isaksen's ami
NAL was finally declared the grand
champion. Joe had entries in two
previous shows. Two years ago, he
was in seventh place and last year in
seventeenth, but came back this year
to win with a better calf and better
understanding of. the work, due to his
previous defeats. ct m gonna do like
Joe did, was the slogan of every
youngster when the show closed.
