then, represents the whole pie, or the
100 per cent appeal. The eyes, the lips,
the figure may range anywhere from 5
to so per cent of the principal.
To cast picture scientifically, the
director sees how much "it' an actress
has In any of her characteristics, and
then compares her various ratings with
the requirements he has in mind.
Miriam Hopkins, Jeanette Macdonald,
Claudette Colbert, Kay Francis, Mar
lene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn and
Carole Lombard, in the order named,
are the majority of directors choice
Some of the finest performers in the
approximation OF sex appeal. Because
their performances do not contain sex
lure to any extent
Miriam Hopkins is rated by directors
as containing more allurement in her
voice and her laughter than any one of
her other characteristics. This vocal
combination Is rated as 25 per cent of
the whole. The figure is next, 20 per
cent. Then come the eyes, Is per cent.
Stance is rated at Is per cent, tears S
per cent. This actress is most perfectly
divided in sex appeal, and that is why
SO many directors clamor for her.
Jeanette Macdonald has the advan-
tage of most actresses on the matter of
height. Tall and slender, her figure is
rated at 40 per cent Of her charm, her
voice gets 20 per cent, her eyes Is per
cent, her hair Is per cent, stance 10
per cent. But she is also listed as too
tall for weeping" And that Is some
thing to think over.
The delicately voluptuous figure of
Claudette Colbert stands her at 80 per
cent rating. General contour of her
face, which may at once be brooding
or Saucy," wins her Is per cent Limbs
are 20 per cent, hands Is per cent, hair
twhen dressed with bangs) 10 per cent.
When the coiffure doesn't include bangs,
Colbert can always switch on an addi-
tional 10 per cent to make up the def
| cheney by turning on the tears She is
rated as "one actress who can cry for

Care Urged In Making
Feed Loan Applications

The county committee in charge
OF receiving and forwarding appli-
cations for feed loans has asked
that attention OF farmers be called
to the procedure which should be
followed in making such appIica-
tions.
These loans are being handled by
the same setup which took care of
the seed loans last spring. and all
applications should go through the
same channels. Sending applica-
tons direct to the district office In
Minneapolis only serves to- delay
their consideration, as they would
all be returned to the local COM
mittee for inspection and approval.
This has already been done i'm the
case of several applications sent
direct TO Minneapolis
H. ID. Morck, chairman of the
now has a large supply
application blanks on hand and
will be glad to give assistance ito
seeking loans. Farmers may
secure up to $3.50 for the purchase
of feed for female livestock during
he winter.

TAX RELIEF URGED BY COMMISSIONERS
AK Statements Mailed
Out First of Week

The force at the county treasur.
ers office finished mailing out
statements for 1898 real estate
taxes the first of this week. Taxes
are now due. and the first half OF
the years payment becomes delin-
qnent December first.
Although county treasurer. Paul
hurtz, feels it Is quite probIematic-
al as TO how payments will be
made this year, he feels confident
that, with many Federal loans as
sured OF coming through. and with
farmers receiving Allotment pay
ments near the close of December.
a substantial increase over receipts
last year will be noticed.
Records in the treasurer's office
revealed that tax payments had
been decreasing each year since
1880. OF the 1890 taxes, 80 per
Of the total had been paid.
Approximately so per cent of the
1887 taxes were still delinquent.
while payments on last years
up to the first OF this month
showed that only As per cent had
been paid.

COUNCIL PASS 5
B 0ND ORDINANCE
FOR WATERWORKS
Work Is Rushed to Get
Application Completed For
Government Loan

The city moved rapidly this weel
towards completion Of Its appIica
Ilon for funds from the Publ,
Works board with which to rebuild
Its water system.
A. g. Erickson, city attorney
submitted al ordinance to the coun.
Gil at Its regular meeting Monday
night, authorizing the issuance OF
bonds to cover that portion of the
money which will be obtained from
the government in the form Of .
loan. BY setting aside rules Of
procedure and giving consideration
to the proposed ordinance as an
emergency measure, 1t was passed
unanimously by the council on all
three readings and declared reg1l-
larly enacted.
Although 1t was believed for q
time that 1t would be impossible to
secure the amount originally in
tended, $4,000, on account of the
taxable value of city property hav-
Ing been reduced from s279.940 in
1882 to $258,504 for 1893. citv
treasurer, H. Q. Stenehiem pointed
out that sufficient funds which had
accumulated in the water works
fund, sewer fund and other depart
ments, could be transferred to the
sinking fund, thereby increasing
the cash reserve to a figure which
would make 1t possible to bond for
the full $1,000.
This Is the amount approved bv
tne electors In last months special
election, and will make it possible
70 secure the total sum of $4,000
to compete the project, it being re-
membered that $4,000 Tor thirty
per cent? of this amount comes
from the Public Works as an out
right gift, and the balance. $1,000
IN the form OF a loan which tha
city will be required to nav hack

ow interest rate Of AZ per cent.

new CONTRACT FOR
CARE OF NEEDY

The county commissioners Wed.
nesday entered into a G con
tract with doctors C.. NJ. Hall and
J. c. Storkan to serve as county
health officers during the coming
year. A ten per cent increase In
their compensation was granted to
provide for the discount of county
warrants which has been necessary
through the pastgtwo years. 1t is
vel. known that the duties of the
county health officers have been
greatly increased during the past
year or two due to the excessive
number of poor cases coming to
the local hospital for operations
and medical care. Both physicians
have given u%ntiringly of their ser
vices, and the board felt the terms
of the new contract were very fair.
Under the revised contract. coun-
ty health officers will be required
give medical care and perform
operations only in cases where It IL
absolutely necessary. and not mere
Iy at the discretion of those who
seek entrance to the hospital. III Is
believed that this will also serve as
| protection to the county in in
unnecessary expense or
for the care of those who
nay be able to pay their own way
