dent. Fred H. Klawon. here today.
Delinquency in amortization INSTALL
ment payments decreased 8 per cent
compared with the previous year. and
the amount Of taxes which the bank
had to advance decreased 81 per cent.
Sale Of farms acquired by the bank
and the local national farm loan as
sociations has proved more gratifying.
During the year farms and sheriff's
certificates amounting to 300 were
sold for $1,265,178, or at an average
Of $4,2l7 each. Taking into consider
alton interest and expense involved,
the loss on these farms amounted to
$751; ,346 or an average Of $644. The
number Of farms undergoing FORE
closure at the end of the year was
483. involving $2,37O,10O.
During the year the bank, through
the local national farm loan associa-
tions and agencies. made 1886 new
loans in an amount aggregating
$7.457 900. bringing the total amount
Of loans In force to $125.551 O23. This
represents loans to 35,282 farmers in
the four states, of which 9.28l are in
North Dakota. 1858 in Minnesota,

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 27-Black Harlem
has slang lingo all its own-even
as has Broadway, or the underworld.
1t is partly out of the midtown ar
got factory and partly of negro de-
scent.
Thus what passes as ''high-hat". or
"arty" around Times Square, be-
comes "dicty" by the time it passes
125th Street. A "snooty" person is
"hincty"-possibly a negro variation
on 'hoity-toity." "Goofer dust" is
the magic voodoo powder peddled by
the wrinkled mammies and a "mon-
key chaser" is a negro from the
West Indies.
The expression "two.time," mean
ing to double cross" came from
Harlem. So did "sweet man." sweet
ie," "big sugar." oily livered,"
"pickled," "mess around" and many
more.
Some recent additions to the
Broadway dictionary include: "mak-
ing boom-boom," which is the same
as making whoopee"; "look and
listen show" meaning a "talkie";
a "yawn" is person who makes
you weary a glass of milk is
shelter juice" a.. A butter-and-
egg-man is now "ripe olive" !.
And nickels are called "slot food"
The latter, am told, originated
in the automats where nickels are
dropped in slots for pie, potatoes and
coffee.

COALITION MAY
PASS TARIFF
Republicans And Demos Get
Together In Spite of
Hoover's Wishes
BY FRANCIS NJ. STEPHENSON
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, May 9.-fRl-
Senate administration leaders were
wondering today whether the
democratic republican independent
combination which yesterday upset
the apparently stalwart republican
majority In the first test of strength
on the farm bill would stand to-
gether and write the tariff mea-
sure.
Despite a margin OF Is votes on
paper. the forces Of Herbert Hoover
IN the senate were shy three times
yesterday on the export debenture
roll call which the president and
party leaders had made an admin
~istration issue.
The vote was one OF the largest
recorded in senate history, only
four OF the 95 members not an
swering the roll call. OF the four
not voting. all were on record.
however. The lineup showed Is
republicans, all but four OF the 30
democrats, and the lone farmer
labor senator standing together for
a majority.
ootn democratic and republican
independent leaders declared today
the farm relief vote yesterday did
not represent a coalition but. that
lt was merely voluntary combina-
ton In which the republican in
surgents voted their convictions"
and the democrats did likewise.
There was no understanding
whatever" said Sen. Norris of Ne
braska. one Of the republican lead
ers. The republicans who voted
Tor the export debenure were
merely voting their convictions"
Norris said 1t was too early 10
look ahead to the tariff. Sen.
Robinson. Of Arkansas, the demo-
cratic leader. said his party was
working independently in its prep
aration for the tariff contest.
Republican leaders are already
beginning to look ahead to re-
shaping their ranks, but it Is adj
nitted that the intenseness Of the
export debenture contest may leave
some wounds which can not be
quickly healed.
