DEBATE NOT PLAN
OF TOWNLEY MEET

Numerous inquiries have come to
The Herald whether the Townley
meeting at the auditorium tomorrow
will be a joint debate or merely a
meeting addressed by Townley and
his aides.
So far as The Herald has been able
to learn there will be no speakers ex-
cept the Townley organization.
1t is hoped there will be no effort
to embarrass Mr.. Townley with heck
ling questions. No doubt he will fol-
low his usual custom of having his
own followers in the audience ask
the questions he desires to discuss and
any outsiders would submit them
selves to sarcasm and abuse for their
trouble in asking questions.
1t is more than likely Mr.. Townley
will be accommodated If he desires
to enter into a debate at a meeting
arranged by a committee which would
see that both sides were given equal
time and fair treatment, but this is
Townley's meeting and he should
have all the time without molestation,
as the arrangements have been made
by his personal representatives.
Three sessions will be held, one be-
ginning at 10 a. m., q second at %,
m., and a third at 1880 in the even
ing.
Aside from Mr.. Townley, addresses
will be given by DIR. Bohn, a New
York newspaper and magazine writ
er; A. e. Bowen, one Of the "bie
five," and w. E. Quigley, Of this city.

$25,00O SCHOOL
BONDS RETIRED
Secretary F. F. Burchard Acting
Under Boards Instructions
Cuts Indebtedness.

Acting under the instruction Of the
board of education, Secretary F. F.
Burchard today paid out $4,000 for
bonds due April 1, retiring the last
issue Of paper drawing 6 per cent in
terest from the Grand Forks school
district.
The board of education has now
reduced its bonded Indebtedness from
$175,000 to $115,00O. Last April it
retired $4,000 worth of per cent
bonds.
All other bonds held at present
against the Grand Forks school dis
trict are drawing only 4 per cent in

The board also instructed the Sec
retary to pay up all of the special
improvement assessments for paving,
water and sewer, the bonds for which
bearing interest at per cent and
amounting to $4,000 were also retir-
ed today.
The board Of education is cleaning
up on the bonded indebtedness of the
school district, retiring all bonds that
bear interest greater than 4 per cent
because 1t can secure money at a
cheaper rate.

WOMEN WEAR YELLOW
RIBBONS TO AID NAVY

the Words. ''Join the Navy

wonder if women are being ac-
cepted as recruits in the navy?"
Several male frequenters Of the
postoftice have been pondering on
that question, since observing the ac-
tivities of the fair sex at the naval
recruiting station during the past two
days.
The reason for this activity seems
quite clear. when it becomes known
that V. w. Hopkins and ]. r. Clas-
son, local recruiting officers, have
been distributing some nifty yellow
silk ribbons bearing the words,
Join the Navy Now" among the
patriotic members of the fair sex in
Grand Forks.
Miss Irene Fee claims the honor of
being the first girl in Grand Forks
to don the yellow ribbon, which in
spite Of its color demonstrates a true
spirit of genuine Americanism.
Grand Forks is emulating Minne-
apolis. where the wearing Of similar
ribbons to encourage enIistments in
the navy has proven very popular.
The ribbons are said to be literally
going like hot cakes and any person
wanting one is urged to hurry with
out delay to the top floor Of the post
office building, where the navy re-.
crutting Office is maintained.

application to Mr.. Brooks for hundreds
OF barrels.
