GREATEST IMPROVEMENT MADE ON IRVINE AVENUE Commiittee of Community Club Makes Inspection of All Streets in City 4 The final instpection of the com- mittee appointed Dby the Woman's Civic and Community club, consisting of M. W. Deputy, G. W. Harnwell and Mrs. J. C. Parker, to inspect the streets and lawns of tue city dur- ing the summer season and decide which street or avenue showed the greatest amount of improvement, yes- terday”awarded their decision to Ir vine avenue. In the opinion of the committee this avenue has made the most im- provement in their street during the cummer. This decision® should not be taken to mean that this street was kept the clehnest and neatest but it way considered that more work had been done on the lawns, girdens 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 rearsof the buildings there are some very bad spots which show little*evi- 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- ed In the meantime it will be held by the club.

SHOWS DRIFT, HE SAYS - States That Tuesday’s Vote WEII Show Condemnation “of Democrats (By United Press.) This article was written by Will H. Hays in response to a request made to the United Press by chairmen of both republican and democratic na< 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 so monu- mental and overwhelming that there is no mistake in its 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. “It means that the nation will speak on next Tuesday as it has sel- dom if ever spoken before in all its political history. It means a sweep- ing condemnation and political re- buke 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 a large and in many states unprecedented majorities. “I believe all this and I believe it implicitly because I have 100 per cent confidence in the discernment and common sense of the American people and ‘because I have 100 per cent eyidence that this mass of in- telligence and intuition will not mis- carry‘at the polls.” INCREASE IN NUMBER OF FARMS CAUSE FOR PRIDE The splendid increase in the num- ber of farms made by Minnesota in the last ten years is very gratifying to everyone who is interested in the development of the state. According to the director of the census, Minne-~ sota now has 178,688 farms, as against 166,137 farms in 1910, a galn of 22,461 farms in tén 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 settler's judgment of the opportunities of- fered here agriculturally. The absolutely dependable soil and climate ,the progressive school sys- tem, the improvement of road, the unequaled development of coopera- tive marketing, the beautiful lakes * and trees; the sure crops and the pro- gressive character of-our people jus- tify the settler’s conclusions that Minnesota offers not only good pros- pects of profitable farming but also attractive living conditions.—A. D. Wilson, director of agricultural ex- tension, Minesota College of Agricul- ture, PARENT-TEACHER ASSN. HOLDS FINE PROGRAM Interesting Entertainment Is Enjoyed by Small Audience Friday Evening - The meeting of the Parent-Yeach- ers association held last evening in the Junior assembly room of the high school, although not largely at- tended, was full of interest through- out. Papers prepared and read by Mrs. J. C. McGhee and Mrs. J. T. Tuomy and addresses by L. P. War- ford and G. H. Zentz pointed out the great need today of co-operation be- tween parents and teachers with spe- cial reference to the choice of a life work hy the student. The Junfor department of the high school has started a movement to draw to the attention of the stu- dents of that department the many different vocations in life and is en- deavoring to start the students thinking of the future calling or pro- fession they will select. The number at the meeting last night was the smallest of any held so far in this organization and the opinion was-expressed that if the in- terest in the children is to be meas- ured by the attendance of the par- ents it does not exhibit the co-opera- tion that is generally expected to ex- ist between the parents and the in< structors in the schools,
