But two people guessed the nama of the person represented by the sill houetto in last evenings paper cor rectly, and ono other had the right idca." evidently knowing who 1t was but not spelling the name correctly. Louis Brandt. of s7 Austin street, had the correct answer In first. and John Purney. Jr.. was the other correct guesser. To MT. Brandt goes the dollar. The silhouette represented Fl. F.. Erwin of the New Britain Machine company. also chairman of the Re publican Town committee. Fifteen New Britain people were mentioned in the guesses submitted.
 We received 76 correct answers to the silhouette contest in Thursday evenings paper. and but two last evening. Some of the pictures arc readily recognizable we grant you. others are not so much so. They are all by the same artist, however, and each is as faithful a reproduction of the profile as he is able to cut out. Hc does not draw them but cuts them out free-hand with a small scissors. It Is a real test of your powers of ob- servation and your memory for faces to pick the real person represented.
 Above is a silhouette that we think Is moderately easy. Of course VIC know who it represents but it appears very characteristic of him. Guess who 1t is? The Herald gives one dol lar to the first person who guesses correctly and hands in the slip with the name of the man whom the sill houCtte represents at The Herald office. Place your name and address on tho slip also. We will accept no phone call guesses. Tn tho event of two guesscs being received at the same time we shall draw the winner. Know the man above? Guess.

debate last evening on the immi,

even draw, each institution having
won a unanimous decision on the
home floor. The question was
Resolved, That the United States
should prohibit immigration from

The negative team on the home
floor presented a well outlined
case, basing their arguments on
the qualities of the percentage
basis and regulation OF immigra-
tion to this country rather than
the prohibition of all immigration
from that section of Europe. Tie
speakers told Of the terrible cond,-
tions under which these people
come to this country and the af-
tirmative undertook to show that
these people are a menace 10 the
United States.
The debate last evening con-
eludes one of the most successful
seasons which the university has
ever had. Debates have been held
with several institutions in Oregon
and also with the Morningside
college at Sioux City. Iowa. one Of

Flax Men
Plant AT
Own Risk
Olcott Warns Growers
State Cannot Pay for
Crop Until Product
Is Marketed

Marion county flax growers
who sometime ago contracted acre
age to the state. Friday afternoon
were informed by Governor Olcott
that IL they proceeded and har-
vested this product for the state
for the year 1921 they would do 50
on their own responsibility.
Governor olcott, speaking at the
meeting attended by about so OF
the growers. said il had been nee
essary to issue the warning for the
reason that the state would not
have sufficient funds Il. pay for
the flax upon its arrival at the
prison plant. Assurance upon the
part of the officials that il the
flax was delivered to the state ev-
cry effort would be made to wipe
out the obligation dollar for dol
lar appeared TO satisfy the grow
ers. and a majority OF them ex-
pressed a willingness to put in this
years crop
At the outset of the meeting the
governor issued the following
statement:
The flax industry is on a basis
upon which no private business
could survive. There is no appro-
priation giving it liquid assets
through which the handling Of the
crop may be financed. While it
has assets in the way Of plant and
fixtures, il cannot hypothecate
these as securities to obtain mon
ey TO float its current business.
While il has officers, they have no
authority or legal status giving
them power to contract indebted
ness to meet obligations on its flax
contracts. We have power to enter
into these flax contracts bun moi
way in which to pay the farmer
save through working up the un-
finished product into the finished
product. Obviously that takes
time. In the meantime the farmer
must wait for his money. I wish
to be perfectly frank with you and
make plain by cold. hard facts the
situation which confronts all OF
us. We wish to see this industry
succeed and SC do you We are
held down BY limitations not in
posed upon a private business We
must face the facts as We findt
them and meet aad oyercoms the
difficulties the best We may.
We wish your co-0perat1on and

it can be done. How soon that
will be cannot say, but it will be
as quickly as possible.
The flax industry has been un-
fortunate In that when the market
price was at its peak through war
and other conditions we had little
flax to sell because the immediate
preceding years had been marked
by small crops. Had 1t been other
wise there would undoubtedly
have been a better financial situa-
tion for US today"
