ton. both OF Fargo, by District Judge
r. G. Mcfarland. The case. which
took three weeks to try, attracted
considerable attention in western
North Dakota.
The Agricultural Credit Corpora
ton and the Guaranty Corporation.
In the opinion Of the court, were
practically the same corporation,
having the same officers and using
the same offices.
The Agricultural Credit corpora
tion loaned the plaintiffs money for
which they took promissory notes for
. certain amount, the notes to draw
interest at the rate OF from 6A to 9
per cent. The corporation loaned
the court said, only 80 per cent Of
the face Of the notes and deducted
the interest for the time the notes
were to run. The defendants agreed
that plaintiffs were to pay only 90
per cent Of the notes when due, but
the defendants demanded the full
payment Of the notes, including The
interest, the payment being made
under compulston contrary to the
contract.
Facts Not Disputed

The major defense, II any, they have

The court ruled that the defend

NUDlSTS EYE TROPIC ISLE

Having been stirred to action by the
lack of sympathy with their cause
certain group of nudists have decided
to go where they will not be so perse-
cuted and harrased by the various re-
strainfng laws regarding the exposure of
the body while in public. Choosing
part of the world where clothing is not
considered as such an Indispensable part
of mans equipment they are casting CO.
vetOus chances on certain island in
the South Seas. The island is owned by
young prince who is disposed TO turn
it into cash.
All the plans have been laid. The only
thing holding up the affair now is the
lack of money with which to purchase
the island and transportation 10 it. In
order to raise the money they are charg.
ing an entrance fee of 81. 900 per per.
son. Plans for the running and the gov
erning Of the island have been given
the careful attention of the leaders.
Because of the plentiful supply of wild
fruits and nuts on the iiland the amount
of work required of each nude will be
very small. 1t is thought that about
four hours day will be all that any
person will have to work. A controlling
committee of three will be elected by
the members of the colony to administer
justice to wrongdoers. grant divorces.
