|HETT|NGER VOTING
! ON bond PROPOSAL
Plan to Raise Bond Issue to
Eight Per Cent Proportion
Before Voters

Hettinger, N. D., Sept. 3.-Taxpay-
ers In Hettinger today were voting
on the question Of increasing the bond
issue Of the city to . total approxi-
mating eight per cent Of the total
valuation Of the taxable property
within the city. To authorize the
city council to issue bonds to this
amount, two-thirds Of the voters vot-
ing must be in favor Of the measure.
At the present time the bond Issue
Of the city approxmates five per cent
Of the taxable property within the
city. A state law permits any In
corporated city to increase Its bonded
indebtedness to q maximum equal to
three per cent additional Of the tax
able property providing two-thirds Of
the voters Of the municipality az
fected voice, favorable action through
the ballot.
II the voters Of the city vote to
issue the additional bonds the greater
part Of the money realized from their
sale will be used to retire warrants
issued to build the present water
works system In the city, all Of which
are due now.
According to Mayor J. o. Wigen
and the Hettinger dity council the
bonds, II issued, viii be offered to the
state Of North Dakota at q five per
cent interest rate. At the present
time the warrants carry an interest
rate Of six per cent. It Is estimated
that this transfer Of the indebtedness
will. save the taxpayers Of the city q
large sum Of money during the 40
years In which the bonds will mature.
A mass meeting vas held at the
Strand theatre In the city Wednes-
day evening to discuss the question.

ASSOCIATION Will
GRANT GRAIN LOANS.
Northwest Organization Will
Advance 70 Per Cent Of
Local Value Of Product

Instructions for obtaining advances
upon elevator-stored grain by mem
bers Of the Northwes. Grain associ-
alton were announced today by w. J.
Kuhrt. general manager Of The federal
farm board regional cooperative or
ganizatto3 In Minneapolis and de-
tailed instructions regarding the max
ing Of these loans have been mailed
to all managers Of the member ele-
vator association in the Northwest
states.
While the Northwest Grain assoct-
alton will make loans to growers
through other than member eleva-
tors, Kuhrt points out that the In
structions announced today are ap-
plicable only to local member eleva-
tors Of the association and are to be
used only in the cas- Of elevator
stored grain. He stated that details
of the making Of advance loans to
shippers who do not belong to the
organization will be announced at q
later date together with instructions
for the making Of loans on farm
stored grain In states where q
farm storage ac- is In force.
According to the announcement. the
Northwest Grain association will adj
vance up to 70 per cent Of the local
value Of all grain, including flax.
based on the local card price, ex-
elusive Of premium values. Advances
on flax may not exceed a maximum
OF $1.25 per bushel. This schedule
will apply equally In the case Of ordi-
nary stored grain and in the cAse Of
grain which the member wishes to
pool. The interest rate on these adj
vances will be 5h per cent.
To obtain these advances, accord
ing to the instructions. the grower
need only sign the producer MEM
bership agreement OF the Northwest
Grain association and endorse his
storage tickets over to the association.
The proceeds Of the advance will be
paid by the local elevator manager
Immediately upon delivery OF the
grain.
In the case OF ordinary stored"
grain, that is, grain not pooled, Kuhrt
points out that the grower retains full
right to determine the time Of sale
Of his grain, except In 3 case where
the market price falls to q point so
as to jeopardize the safety Of the loan.
However, where the producer elects
to have his grain handled In q pool,
he must pass over to the local ele-
vator, which in turn passes over to
the Northwest Grain association, the
right Of determining the time Of sale.
In all cases according to the an
nouncemert, the grain must be sold
and final settlement made to the pro-
Queer on o. before July 1, 1881.

o the Editor Of The Tribune:

To the Editor Of The Tribune:
The voters have been playing
more saucy tricks with the Literary
Digest's famous ,wet-dry poll. This
time it was down in Texas. The
Digest poll reported that the Texas
drys could scare up only 68,824 votes
out Of q total Of 133.062. So basing
their conclusions on the poll, plus
their own hopes, the wet press
picked Frank Putnam, wet candi-
date for governor a. q likely winner.
But out Of q total Of 663,2S7 the wet
favorite tailed only 1850 votes!
Senator Sheppard. the veteran dry
leader Of the upper House was too
busy in Washington to 20 home to
make. . campaign. So Lieutenant
Governor Robert Henry, his wet OPP
ponent, had it all his own way while
he conducted . very vigorous cam
paign. Everything was lovely for
him until election day. Then the
veteran dry leader romped off with
q three-to-one landslide.
So the drys down in Texas aren't
so wet after all!

Hollywood, Calf, Sept. 3.-Of all
the malformed and evil-looking crea-
lures with which Lon CLANCY led
movie-goers through a series OF de-
lectable nightmares, perhaps his
greatest role was that of Quasimodo,
the hairy one-eyed dwarf in THE
Hunchback Of Notre Dame"
II covered my face with a. new
one, blanked out an eye with q shell
that I painted over, got a mouthful
Of false teeth and was strapped in a

planning how he made up for the
part. II actually had nothing Of my
own but M eye to play the part
with. Hurt? OF course, 1t hurt-but
it's all a part Of the game"
But Lon Chaney's art lay not in
makeup alone. Victor Hugo, in the
novel, made Quasimodo the demon
Of the Middle Ages; CLANCY, by his
powerful Interpretation of the little
hunchback, gave him a soul.
OF course, you remember the pic

tured gargoyles. feared by those who
didn't revile him, half man and half
devil, savior Of the girl to whom he
gave sanctuary in the church and
nemesis, of the mephitic priest who
threatened her.
AS repulsive In appearance as the
master genius Of makeup could de-
wise, audiences nevertheless found
something to pity in this misshapen
lump that might have been a man
had the fates been kinder. That
something was put there by
CLANCY.
