Cable advices from Cherbourg,
France, yesterday brought news that
the Philadelphia carried from that
port $3,2o0,0o0 in gold. 9 No official
news of that gold shipment had been
received by international bankers last
night, but most of them expressed
the belief that the gold was not from
France but from England, and was
taken aboard the vessel before she
touched the French port. 1t is the
belief of international bankers thai
under the present condition of in
flated currency France cannot afford
to export actual gold, but will make
other arrangements to take care OF

SHIPPING MARKET
IN JAPAN TAKES
TERRIFIC SLUMP

Toxic, July "a feature of the
economic depression in Japan is the
weakness of the steamship charter
market. About fifteen large ocean
going ships are tied up at Kobe and
Osaka and about SO other ships will
soon be released from old charter
contracts. Owners will have great
difficulty in finding new contracts on
account of the slump in the sea-
carrying trade.
With the accentuated depression in
the shipping market, the price of
ships las declined, the present stand
ard quotation being equivalent to
$135, to S140 ton. In spite of the
decline, there have been no buyers at
home for some time past, but some
vessels are being sold to Dutch con-
/ Germs.

KICKS AGAINST

HEBREW BUYERS

New Haven, July ga circular
embracing a QUESTIONABLE, was sent
by the Sharon Chamber of Com
merce about four months ago to all
property holders In that village ask
ing that they refrain from selling
their property to Jews, according to
Joseph H. U1lman of this city, who
declared tonight that, with Colonel
Isaac M. Ullman of New Haven and
Charles H. Shapiro Of Bridgeport, as
a committee Of the Independent Or
der of B'nai Birth, he had written to
George B. Chandler. executive secre-
tary of the Connecticut Chamber of
Commerce, Of which the Sharon
chamber is a member, asking the state
chamber to call a meeting Of its ex-
ecutive committee in an effort to
preclude the sending out of any such
circulars by any member of the
state chamber in the future.
Mr.. Ullman said that, when he
wrote the letter, he did not know that
Mr.. Chandler was in Europe and
that. if no reply came within few
days, he would take the matter up
with the president of the state cham
Der.

and QUESTIONABLE was nothing for
any member of the Connection:

things like that stopped. We be-
lieve we have cause for court action
but we don't want to go to court

The idea of marketing a stock
through bond salesman is something
new but was done recently by the
American Chicle company through
Hornb1ower and Weeks, Low, Dixon
and Co., and White, Weld and Co. of
New York. There were $4,000 shares
sold at $40 each. The proceeds of
the sale will be used for the COM
pany's additional working capital and
to pay for the new factory recently
erected by the company in Long Is
land City.
The Columbia Graphophone COM
pany, it was learned yesterday, has
sold to a banking group $7,500,000
of five year per cent. notes, which
are expected to be offered shortly at
par and accrued interest. The new
notes are to be convertible into stock.
The bankers interested in that f1nanc-

PRINT PAPER PRICES

The public is used to reading from
time to time of the conditions govern
ing the print paper supply. It is
generally known that a congressional
investigation is under way to deter
mine the cost of productions, the sup
ply available, etc.
In 1914, the Record was buying print
paper at 2h cents per pound in ton
lots. We were then charging 81. so
per year for subscription. Today, we
are getting $500 per year, an increase
of 33 1-3 per cent. Our print paper
has increased to 10h cents per pound,
or more than 400 per cent. And that
is not all. While we purchased half
ton of print paper at 1OA cents, the
market price is now 12A cents, and
Che heads Of the paper houses assure
US that we will pay from 20 to 80
cents per pound within a year, and
will be thankful to get sufficient sup
ply to keep us going at any price.
Similar conditions prevail in the
prices of job stock. Letter heads, en-
velopes, ETC., cost more now than we
charged for completed job five years
ago.
The Record has always been chary
about increasing prices for job stock,

LEGION MEETING TONIGHT

The regular monthly meeting of the
local post of the American Legion will
be held in their club rooms under the
First National Bank tonight. All
members are urged to be present, and
non-member service men are requested
to be present and sign up.
Final arrangements will be made for
provising the Decoration Day services
this year, and the various Legion com.
mittees will be appointed. DR.. c..
o. Smith has offered the srvics of
the band for the occasion, and it is
planned to secure an outside speaker
for that day. Appropriate exercises
will also be held at the cemetery
where several veterans are buried.
1t is hoped that the service men
can be out in uniform on Decoration
Day, and that rifles can be secured
in time for use by firing squad in
connection with the exercises at tie
graves.

advertising, and the like. We have
always wanted to keep our trade sat-
isfied, and we have hated to, have some
patrons class US with the profiteers.
However, we have reached the point
where we are doing a total business
of from 5000 to $500 month, and are
hardly clearing enough on that amount
of business to pay our grocery bills.
We are taking steps to inaugurate
an entire cost system in the Record
office. Within a month, we will be
in position to know just where we
are at on every job. Our rates are
going to be higher, but we will have
the data to convince any man that we
are only charging a living price for
our wares.
We have known for months that we
were up against it on our job business,
but have been much surprised to dis
cover that we have been doing Job
work far cheaper than any of the big
houses in the cities will do it.
From now on, we ask our trade not
to be surprised if they find our prices
are higher than for their last order.
They should remember that the for
mer order was priced far lower than
actual value, instead of considering
the new prices too high.

LIGHT PLANT NEARLY READY

T Present prospects indicate that Lin
Ton will have real light plant in op-
eration' within the next thirty days.
The building, located just south of the
Thompson Yards! is fast nearing com,
pletion. The machinery for the plant
is here and is being installed while
work on the building is still in pro-
gress.
The wiring Throughout the town is
being gone over and put in shipshape
order. It will be necessary to replace
all meters and motors for the new
plant. The alternating system will
be used. However, the Record under
stands that the motors now in use can
be traded in for other kind. The
power will be entirely steam, so that
we will no longer be dependent upon
the whims of John D. Rockefeller on
that score.
When the new plant opens for bus
mess, it will be equipped to handle
all the juice needed in Linton, and can
take on Strasburg and Hazelton as
we'll. Strasburg expects to hook up
with US, Hazelton may do SO, but is
hesitating because of the high cost
of a feed wire between the two towns.
The light company is sort of COM
munity affair. While a few of the
stockholders have invested fairly
heavy, most of the stock has been SUBJ
scribed in small amounts by the people
of the town.
We are hoping that our light and
power troubles will be a thing of the
past within a month.

.posits and four sper cent on sinking
funds.
Before the Bank of North Dakota
came irto existence, most Of the banks
in this section Of the state. at least
were paying four and s;1. The
banks that receive any Of tks, funds
from, the Bank of North Dakota pay
those rates yet TO- the Bank Of No tn
Dakota. But the cities, village, town
ships, counties and school districts are
losing the difference. They are being
given another financial swat on a small
scale by having to pay even for bank
checks. Thousands of dollars are
thus being taken from the counties
and districts in interest.
And what is being done with this
money the Lord only knows. The
Bank of North Dakota does not loan
on chattel mortgage. Practically
their only loans are on farm mort
cages.

funds to the state and its legal sub

Think it over, Mr.. Farmer, if you
are a property-owner. Remember
that for years we had the machinery
to make farm loans from the school
fund at 5 per cent, and no massive,
expensive, political bank was neces-
sary. The Board of University and
School Lands could make loans
on real estate, but they couldn't con-
troll for political purpoes all the pub
lie funds in the state.
And that's what we want now.
If the editor of this newspaper
should be elected member of the next
legislature, he will do what he can
to get rid of the Bank of North Da.
kota as it stands because corrupt pol
iticians could easily rob the state
blind, and because they could easily
force large part of the banking in
terests to do their bidding politically
in order to get any public funds. But
he will work for measure to allow
the making Of farm loans through ma
chinery similar to the old school-loan
system.
The latter idea will give all the
benefits of the Bank of North Dakota
to ths farmers, and it will eliminate
the dangers of graft and political
usurpation by political machine.

even after such loans.
These loans average about $4,000
each. The total funds, to Jess than
1900 applicants, amount to 81 ,2O3 BE-
so. Out Of more than twenty-eight
millions of funds, Just about two mil
lions have been loaned to farmers, and
twenty six millions remain. And the
bank has been in operation since the
2sth day Of July, 1919.
It is q mighty fine thing politically
to have control of twenty-eight mill
ions as patronage. But, from a bus
mess point of view, just how much
benefit is it to us? Thousands of
dollars in interest have been sacri-
feed to furnish 1900 farmers with
loans costing between six and seven
per cent.
| Any private bank will gladly make
first-farm loans at seven, and were
doing SO long before the Bank of North
Dakota was established. So where
is this Bank Of North Dakota such a
wonderful thing?
True, it is a fine thing for an army
of high-salaried office-holders like
Cathro, Waters, and the rest. True.
it gives Townley's side-kickers control
of some thirty-millions of funds that
all bankers would like to have. True;
Cathro can draw our funds out 3f
our local banks and deposit maeia
Townley-controlled banks. True,
Townley can then borrow from such
private banks. This was done in large
figures in the Scandinavian Bank deal,
md would no doubt have been a much
larger proposition had not their game
been nipped in the bud by the banking
board.
What is to prevent Townley from
continually borrowing from the banks
he has established, the banks replen-
