FERGUSON AT IDEAL.

No fewer than thirty-nine gowns are worn by Miss Elsie Ferguson, who takes the part of an American girl, impersonating a Russian actress in "Footlights," Paramount picture which comes to the Ideal theatre next Friday. Dainty morning dresses, lux uriant gowns for afternoon and even- ing, filmy negligees and daring sports costumes constitute her wardrobe in this splendid production.
 Miss Ferguson, who has been term ed the most beautifully dressed wom- an on the screen, considers this one of the most delightful roles of her career. "The gowns have helped me in my interpretation, Miss Fergu- son said, "just as they helped Lizzie Parsons to lose her identity in Lisa Parsinova. My only regret is that the audiences will not have an oppor- tunity to see the exquisite coloring of the gowns"

FINAL WATER BOND
 PAID BY DISTRICT

Completing all payments on the bond issue of $68,O00 by Water Dis trict No. I, dating from 1911, the commissioners this week paid to the holders $6,200 principal and $1s6 in terest, and there is now remaining to it's credit $28.64. Besides meeting all bond payments as they fell due, the district waived the collection of all benefits against property last year, has advanced $2,300 to the board of District No. 2, and has given to the city $1,350 for extensions on the water system. Jo Frauenthal is chairman of the commissioners, and the financing has been largely in his hands.
 When it became apparent more than a year ago that the district would have, without collecting the financial benefits assessed, enough money to meet it's obligations, application was made to the holders of the bonds for permission to retire the final install ment one year ahead of time. This could not be done, however. At the request of the commissioners, Sena- tor George F. Hartje then introduced in the legislature bill which permit ted the board to turn over to the commissioners of he new district such funds as were left after all ob- ligations had ben retired.

In order to escape the humiliation of borrowing from northern uncle, whose politics l did not approve, 1 went with my watch to an uncle who had no poli- tics at all and got $50 on it. Along with two blanket-mates, who were as poor as myself, I started, or rather revived, publication of an old sus- pended newspaper at Nashville, Nothing could withstand energy and ardor which we three threw into the enterprise. We were working for bread and had to have it. When we began there were nine daily papers struggling for footing in the little Tennessee capital. At the end of the year there were but two, and of these ours had two-thirds of the business. After two years I was called to Lou isville to take an editorial position on the old Louisville Journal, the pa- per of George D. Prentice. Six months later Walter N Haldeman, who owned Courier joined with me in combining the Journal and Courier. Incidentally this led to the purchase of the old Louisville Democrat, this
