 Helps Others
 "An outstanding feature of its sue cess in addition to helping charitable orpunizations, is the help it gives tt other worthy causes that are dependen on public subscriptions to function thereby eliminating so many drives ant campaigns. The beneficiaries under thl' plan are selected by a group ot mef whose honesty and integrity IS unques toned"

June 80, 1928, amounted to S43,-
12,306, or S17.32 per capita. OF

The total revenue receipts of Min

for 1917. The increase in the
amount of property and special

BOYS AND GIRLS LIVESTOCK
SHOW A WORLD BEATER.

Several world records were
thrown into the discard at the 1924
Minnesota Junior Livestock Show
held November II, II. and ID at
South ST. Paul. No Ely exhibitors
were noted but it is expected that
next year there will be entries from
this district.
For one thing, the show itself is
the largest in the world, of its kind.
For another, the highest level of
prices known was paid for the live
stock exhibited by the juniors.
Yet another, what is said to be the
highest price ever paid for live
mutton was paid for the grand
champion fat barrow.
George Teller, 10-year-old boy
of Pennington, exhibited the grand
champion baby beef, a purebred
Shorthorn, which weighed 997
pounds and was sold at auction to
the First National Bank of St.
Paul for 80 cents a pound. This
was record price except that the
winning baby beef last year
br ught an even dollar a pound.
The reserve champion steer, an
Angus exhibited by William Scan
Ian of Belview, sold for 43 cents a
pound.
A Shropshire lamb exhibited by
little Marie Sullivan of New Prague
won the grand championship and
was bid in by Wits Market House
of Minneapolis at 81 pound. 1t
weighed 112 pounds. The previous
top price of 50 pound was paid
George Sullivan, a brother of Marie,
who exhibited the grand champion
lamb at the 1922 show. Raymond,
another boy in the Sullivan family,
captured the grand championship
last year when his lamb was bid
in for S1.60 a pound.
Jay Seymour of Eyota was the
club Junior paid the record price of
81 a pound for his pig, Chester
white barrow, which won the grand
championship. The pig was bid in
by the st. Paul Dispatch. Last
years grand champion pig brought
IS cents a pound
A pen of young Buff Orpingtons,
raised and fitted by Jean Middleton
of Marshall, won the grand cham
/ pionship for cockerels and was
knocked down to McHugh brothers
of Pennington for 46 cents pound
The, pen prize turkeys exhibited by
Raymond Hershberger f Bagley
was sold to Powers meat market fol
80 cents a pound. The prize pen OF
ducks was exhibited by Alfred Hoal
of Monticello and sold for 50 cents

Falls exhibited the pride pen of fat
young geese, with Gladys Lun ot

Also, it should be borne in mind
that Minnesota motor vehicle taxes
are far below those in the average
state. Wisconsin, for example. col

on top of that some S7,000,00O of

= Building

Ugliness is becoming the rule in
many of the extreme aspects of modern
town life, the Literary Digest COM
ments sadly. The suaye writer calls
IL Indifference Of the greater public"

amenities of towns and rural areas.
The beauty of the past is sacrificed to
make way for modern improvements.
says the Christian Science Monitor
voiclng a plea for concerted effort at
town-beautifying:
ut is when things get bad. when
they seem at their worst. that endur-
ance reaches its limit. Already in
parts of America something has been
done toward the suppression of bill
boards that bade fair to conceal the
country as completely as the smoke
screen in a battle at sea shields the
fleet, and without the same reason or
necessity. The preservation of the
American amenities If too local for
the art commission in Washington is
left largely TO womans clubs. The Eng
fish would take more thorough meas
ures. Architects, reused to a realiza-
ton of the sadness of a land from
which beauty has flown, and eager to
stay its flight, suggest the formation
of advisory art committees in towns
and country both. Their function
would be much the same. though on
more restricted scale, as that of the
English art commission modelled after
the pattern of the American. The com
mittees would advise and interfere in
their own diStrlctS-interfere when
some ayoidable piece Of vandalism

They would have no power but. the
hope is, would exercise an influence
gradually growing irresistible as the
public consciousness should awaken to
a sense of the part beauty plays in
life Such, in a few words, is the
scheme suggested by the Royal Insti-
tute of British Architects for the guar.
dianship of beauty in England"
