That night Harry said something
rather ugly to Ruth to the effect
that she was the most conspicuous

collie gown and her bobbed, henna-

Just at that moment Walter Burke

Village May
Have Electricity

Fessenden, N. D., Sept. 24.-Sykes-
ton village may soon have electric
light service, if present plans of II.
C. Whitcomb, proprietor of the Fes
sender Light & Power, are carried
out. The state railroad commission
at a recent meeting approved plans
and specifications and the route for
the proposed transmission line from
this city, it is believed that work
will be started on the building of tho
line as soon as necessary arrange
ments can be completed.
The local light company now oper-
ates an electric transmission line to
Cathay, and the extension Of the pro-
ject to Sykeston would necessitatc
the building Of only six miles of
line.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Chatter, clatter, clattcr! Clip.
petty, clip! Clippety, clip!
1t was Nancy and Nick and Mis-
ter Gallop on their ponies after
Piggy Badger.
Piggy had bad habit, very bad
habit, of eating his neighbors, which
was not only impolite, but unkind
as we'll. He had long, rooty snout
that could dig up most anything!
And an appetite that could enjoy
eating most anything! And sto-
mach that could hold most any,
thing!
So no wonder the plains folk and
mountain folk up and told on him.
Mister Gallop had clicked his tom
que on his teeth and said how awful
it was and that he'd attend to
Piggy at once. And as soon as the
committee had gone, the three of
them started of. And now you know
all about it.
Pretty soon they came to the plain
where Piggy lived. No one was posi-

i known that he had his home under

A CAMPAIGN ISSUE

W. c. Taylor of the La Moure Chronicle diagnoses
accurately the significance of the action taken recently by
the Commissioners of Slope county who have retained
William LANCER to draw up constitutional amendment
raising the states bonded debt limit sufficiently to meet all
claims upon the state guaranty fund.
He correctly in this movement what may prove
very perplexing issue in the 1924 campaign Every de-
posor of closed banks naturally will be for such amend
ent; his friends and his creditors probably moved by self
interest would add to the supporters.
AS the months go the Association Of Depositors OF
Closed Banks will doubtless until the membership
becomes very active body clamorng for 100 cents the
dollar for every depostor in every nsovent bank.
Iis not exravagant to suppose that some politician can
be secured to platform such this: Put Every
Dollar In Every Depositors Pocket Just count the
number of electors who would take off their coats and work
the cosumation of such campaign pledge The term
na elevator shrnks proportions beside such
and even the flour mill vote batter could be as
appealing.
The Tribune discussing here the merits but merely
the possibility of such issue However, the present stu
alton should be warning to tighten banking restrictions

the future for the protection of depositors
Everyone will watch with interest the activity of unpaid
dpostors under the guaranty act in the next campaign
