campaign was intense and at first the
democratic cast it upon the issue Of
the league of nations as submitted to
the senate without reservation or
change. They also employed the old
race prejudice that grew out of the
civil war.
"While the republicans on the face
Of the returns have lost the election,
the result is a distinctive republican
vistory. After the hardest fight ever
put up in an Alabama district on the
part of the democratic organization,
only four years after the redistrict-
ing of the state, it won by a mere
scratch. 1t is an augury of what will
be done later. The campaign of the
republican residents cannot be too
highly commended. 1t was high class.
The result demonstrates the fallacy of
the claim that the south is permanent
ly democratic. AS before the civil war
parts of that section were stronghoids
of the Wings, so now they still hold
to republican policies and will in time
minimize the power of prejudice.

SOME CONTRAST WITH
YEAR 1919 IN MONTANA

Rainfall at a certain place in the
Hawaiian islands is said to be heav-
Ter than at any other spot in the world.
For a half century, according to the
Monthly Weather Review, the worlds
record for rainfall has been attributed
to the town of Cherapunji in India.
This is in the foothills of the Himi-
laya mountains, about 400 feet above
sea level. The moist monsoons have
condensed rapidly on being forced up
the mountain sides and the rainfall at
Cherapunji has averaged 426 inches
a year. Now come those who dig into
such things to find that on the sum-
init of Mount Waialeale, 5000 feet
above the sea, the rainfall averages
476 inches, and that during 1914 and
1918 it jumped to 600 inches, which is,
of course, nearly two inches a day.
And the interesting thing to the lay
mar in all this is not that two inches
of rain falls, but that two inches of

rain is equivalent to POP tons of wat

A most striking picture is "The Spir.
it of America" by Howard Chandler
Chrlsty, who declares this drawing his
masterpiece. The official "Third Roll
Call" poster was contributed by Has
kell Coffin, the well-known artist, and
is a wonderful creation in pastel of

gram OF the Red Cross, and has as
the background the "Greatest Moth

When the American Red Cross asked
the artists of the nation for two post
ers to be used in the third roll call,
it was supposed that one of the post
ers might be a figure other than of a
woman. 1t was quickly apparent, how
ever, that the Red Cross could not be
represented without using the figure

$4,000 COST OF One
N. DAKOTA BOND DEAL
Townley Sells Bonds in Chicago and
New York, But Puts Up Big De-
post of Taxpayers Money.

New York, Oct. 15.-News dispatch
es from Bismarck, N. Oak, that New
York and Chicago bankers had bought
the first $4,000, 900 of North Dakota
bonds sold to finance the new Nonpar.
tisan league enterprises in that state,
caused some little interest in finan-
cial circles here as to who really pur-
chased the bonds and on what terms
they were taken by eastern bankers,
who it was not thought a month ago,
could be induced to buy the North Da-
kota securities at any price.
The William S. Compton Investment
company of New York, Chicago and
St. Louis, and the Halsey Stewart
company of New York, Chicago and
st. Louis, were the purchasers.
These companies took $500 900 of
the bonds Of North Dakota issued to
furnish the new Bank of North Dako-
ia with capital, and agreed to buy
100000 Of the bonds of North Da-
kota "Real Estate series" before Jan
uary l, 1920. The bonds issued to fl
nance the bank as we'll as those of
the "Real Estate series" were pur-
chased at par and bear 5 per cent in
terest from July 1, 1919. The bank
bonds mature $75O,OOO in 20 years;
$75O,O 600 in rs years and $780, 900 in
20 years. The real estate bonds ma
ture in 20 years.
One Of the remarkable conditions of
the deal is said to be the agreement
of North Dakota officials and man.
ayers of the Bank of North Dakota,
to keep on deposit at all times in New
York and Chicago banks to be desig-
mated by the purchasers of the bonds,
a sum of money equal to the face val
ue of the bonds.
Thus the state of North Dakota will
deposit through the Bank of North
Dakota, in eastern banks, $4,000, 900
and keep it there where it is prac-
under the control of the finan-
cial houses buying the bonds, that they
may attach it should financial mis-
fortune with the new socialistic enter
prises of North Dakota place the state
in such a position that it could not
meet the interest or principal on the
bonds bought by Compton and Halsey,
Stewart.
For the use of this $4,000, 900 /of
money the state of North Da-
kota is to receive the usual two per
cent paid on such balances.
1t is said that only by making such
a deposit and keeping the money in
eastern banks, were the North Dako-
Ia officials enabled to sell the bonds,
which are still to be passed on by at
designated by the purchasers.
The transaction costs the people of
Dakota 100000 per annum more
chan they receive for the use of the
S3,OO0,0 900 deposited as an earnest or
available fund out of which to retire
bonds with eastern banks. The
Bank of North Dakota guarantees the,
payment of the interest one month be-
fore it is due besides making the de-
oosits sufficient to cover the par val
]e of the bonds.
