OF LOCAL
POST0FF|CE GAINED
$4,612DURINc 1881
Increase Attributed to General
Business by Assistant Post
master Larson

Receipts of the Bismarck postoffice
were $4,6l2.67 greater in 1881 than for
the preceding year. it was announced
Tuesday morning by Harry Larson,
assistant postmaster.
He expressed belief that the local
office was one Of the few If not the
only postoffice in North Dakota to
show a gain In receipts last year over
the preceding year.
Receipts in 1891 totaled $205, 1876
compared with $500, 5000 for 1880.
The record year for receipts at the
local postoffice was 1929, when $213,-
283.91 was taken In.
Due to General Business
Larson attributed the increase last
year to general business.
Receipts for the first quarter of 1881
showed q considerable increase over
receipts for the same period in 1880,
probably due to the fact that the leg
islature was in session here, Larson
said. Receipts for the first quarter
during the record year, 1929, which
also was legislative year, were ST.
049.29, or $6,549.33 greater than the
ASAOV 4AesA va ACVCAPVc AL 1901
Receipts during the last three quar-
tiers Of the record year were only ST.
SCOTS greater than for the same Pc
Rod last year.
Capitol Fire Helped 1880
Receipts for 1880 were given a con-
siderable boost, the assistant postmas-
ter pointed out, due to the capitol fire
Dec. %, 1880. The fire necessitated
the purchase by state departments of
a great amount of postage on Dec. %,
1880, to take care Of necessary BUSH
ness over the year-end. This cut
down the gain In receipts during 1881,
Larson said.
A comparison Of quarterly, receipts
for 1891 and 1880 was given as fol-
lows:

|SAL0ON FOUGHT

Ask Guarantee From Roose'
Welt and Request Hoover
to Oppose Repeal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, December 10.-The
General Council of the Presbyterian
Church in the u. S. A. yesterday made
public communications urging President
Hoover to oppose repeal OF the Volstead
act and asking President-elect Roose-
velt whether he will guarantee there
shall be no return of the saloon.
The action of the council, made pub
lie by its secretary. DR.. Lewis Seymour
Nudge, was adopted at an executive
session in Chicago. November Is. and
public announcement withheld until the
letters were transmitted to the Presi-
dent and President-elect.
Communication Sent Hoover.
Stating that the council is mindful
of the limitations which the Presby-
terian Church imposes with regard to
political action, the communication to
President Hoover asks him ito make
every effort to oppose the repeal of the
Volstead act and the return of the
saloon and the inevitable consequences
of the legalization of the sale of in
toxicating liquor"
The communication to the President
elect asks three questions:
will you fulfill the guarantee that
has been given that there shall be no
return of the saloon? How will you
recommend that this can be effected If
the control of the liquor question Is left
to the individual States? How will you
protect dry States in their efforts to
remain dry?"
Letter to Roosevelt.
The letter to Mr.. Roosevelt also in
cludes the following:
The General Council would also
call attention to assurances given re-
peatedly during the recent political
campaign by the advocates of repeal as
follows:
That the repeal of the Volstead act
and the eighteenth amendment would
diminish unemployment.
THAT 1t would lessen taxation by
transferring it to the liquor traffic.
THAT it would do away with the
speakeasy, bootlegging and the Illegal
sale of liquor.
THAT it would diminish crime and
racketeering and law violation.
The General Council asks the pub
lie conscience to watch the effects of
the possible return of the liquor traffic
and to require of those who have ad-
vocated it the fulfillment of these as
surances."

"Goona Goona" Offered
At the Metropolitan.

IF any one believes the lure of
pristine romance has ceased to
sway the hearts of the American
male. a glimpse at the audience OF
"Goona Goona" in the Metropolitan
Theater will dispel that horrid illu-
sion. There seems to be something
about a simple, tropical tale of
Balinese life which fascinates the
most sophisticated of modern men
as Tarzan (nee Weissmuller) is said
to excite the ladies. From busi-
ness man to Office boy, they f1ocked
to THE Isle of Paradise" and now
to "Goona Goona," outnumbering
the women 10 to at any per-
formance, and plainly keen to par
ticipate in an immediate revival
at least in imagination-of the late
beloved cave-man days.
Heartening though this Is to all
who had despaired for the corpuscles
of the pink-biooded, holloW-chested
man of today, there are some VINO
insist the great reawakening OF
biceps and hair on the chest cannot
alone account for the box office
appeal of South Sea sagas. A few
suggest it may be the sea pictures
and the pretty boating scenes. the
native orchestras or the tribal
architecture which brings the Gus
toners rolling in. Yet another school
has observed the Balinese manner
unaffected, unadorned-possesses
fatal charm.
Whatever the secret, if you go
down to the Metropolitan this week,
YOU will watch the easy, mobile
mimicry Of native Thespians all
tangled up in story about a tan
skinned boy and girl who love each
other very much but get nothing for
it except a rough deal, because the
prince of their tribe also loves the
girl. The goona goona dove drug
to you) is what the prince gives the
heroine, and it leads to a lot OF
trouble. The heroine's coolie lover
finds out all about it. He kills the
prince, and the princes father kills
him, and that will give you an idea
of the quiet pastoral life in Bali.
One of the best things that can be
said about "Goona Goona" (the pic
ture), is that it has nothing to do
with gangsters, politics, skyscrapers
or airmail. The photography Is
fair, the native music full of quar-
ter-tones unfortunately omitted in
our scale. and the actors do not
heave, swirl or talk nonsense.

Demarest, and C. news reel complete
