FAMOUS ELECTION PROPHET
PREDICTS REELECTION OF
ARTHUR r. MOOT TO BOARD
(Ry Prophet Jim McNultxl

/ predict that Arthur F. Moot will
be reelected by over 5000 majority
and perhaps 5000. His record for
the past four years will show the
citizens who live in the 18th district
that he has been an honest, faithful
servant to our country, and it is the
duty for every loyal American citi-
zen who lives in the fourth district
to vote him in again for the second
term.
Mr.. Moot was elected four years
ago-and in two years the other
four members of the board made him
president. He isn't a rich man, he
IS poor mans son and I will take
my hat off any time for a poor mans
son who can work his way up in life
in his prime to hold the highest office
in Hennepin county, president of the
board. Mr.. Moot is loyal Ameri-
can citizen who stands first and last
and all the time for good govern
ment-honesty IN offlce and obedl-
ent to laws, the man who stands for
these principles is patriot, whether
he is holding the highest or the low
est office.
It matters not what his situation
in this land of the free and the home
Of the brave is measured by the same
standards and that. standard is not
what his ancestors have been. BY
what his position he may hold-not
by the extent Of his bank account,
but by his own words and deeds-I
will say Mr.. Moot stands for all Of
these principles and he is the right
man in the right place. I am sure
the morning after the election, Ar
thur will be coming home with the
bacon"

Be Staged Ia City
October 24.29

Four rodeos now being staged in
western cities will be brought to
Minneapolis and combined into one
composite rodeo and horseshow at
the municipal auditorium, October
"a to 20, according to information
received by Clyde S. Miller, veteran
rodeo producers from Tucumar1,
Arizona.
"The show in Minneapolis will in
reality be 'the last roundup" when
all the cowboys and cowgirls, wild
horses and steers, high school mounts,
trained mules, and others making up
these four rroupes will close the
1884 season OF activity" Mr.. Miller
said.
Blue prints of the chutes, catch
pens, wire fences and the seating ar
rangement at the auditorium were
laid out this week by the auditorium
staff. Plans were also underway for
the housing of the horses and cattle
in the lower floor of the auditorium
and the construction of a special
runway from the lower floor to the
main arena for the presentation of
the indoor rodeo.

PROGRESSIVE L EACUE NE.
GRoES SHOULD TAKE ADvAN.
TACE OF GOVERNMENT LOANS

Harry G. Benton, in an address
before the Minneapolis Civic and
Progressive League at it's education
al meeting Friday night, urged Min
neapolis Colored home owners to take
advantage of the government offer to
loan money on their homes for needy
repairs.
Mr.. Benton stated that in doing so
they would be creating a job for
some man and in doing so workmen
of your Gown race should be con-
sidered as their opportunity is lin
tied"
He also praised the fine spirit
among Minneapolis Negroes for
their wanting to become home own
ers and that in cities of like popula-
ton the homes of Minneapolis Ne
groes are il better condition than
those Of other cities of both races.
He also pointed out that during the
last 80 days he has as secretary of
the Minneapolis Real Estate Board
succeeded in having 35 volunteer ap-
praisers appointed to assist the
Hole. This move proved helpful in
facilitating loans as more than $10,-
100000 in certificates for bonds
were rushed through government red
tape.
It also started flow of money
into the county treasurer's office at
the rate of $4,000 per day, two
thirds of this sum went for delin-
quent taxes.
Mr.. Benton in closing stated that
In his many years of service as sec
rotary of the Minneapolis Real Es-
tate Board he has always made spe-
eial effort to advise and assist Min
neapolis Colored home owners in the
home building problems, and stood
willing in the future to give the same
service.
He Just entered politics this year
and at the June primaries was the
successful nominee for register of
deeds to which office he now aspires.

Cotton futures n@rked time today

were extremely light on the call
and continued SO through the
morning. with contracts making
no appreciable headway on either
side of the market.
Purchases during the forenoon
came from Liverpool and the
domestic trade, but were offset by,
continued cooperative selling and
moderate hedge selling from the
South. Hedge sales, however, are
not as large as they usually are
around this time of the season.
Late in the morning Wall Street
and commission houses came into
the ring for small amounts Of
cotton.

cotton made slight Improvement

Plants are making some new fruit
which may mature with a long
favorable season, but most of the
improvement consists of reduc-
ton in premature opening and
filling out of bolls already set.
Around midday futures were 2

BY SAUL LEHRER

NEW YORK, Sept. IA UN.S0.
A somewhat easier tone in the
United States Government bond
list continued to unsettle the
bond market as a whole today.
While the selling of the Gov
ernments during the initial deal
ings was not very aggressive, a
renewal Of pressure on the Home
Owners Loan and the Federal
Mortgage obligations indicated
that some profit-taking following
yesterdays run-up was almost
inevitable.
Home owners Loan IS opened
unchanged but quickly declined.
The Home Loan As were similarly
affected.
Liberty Loan issues were firm
and stronger, while the Treasury
3As of 1946, which are being Of
fered in exchange for the matur-
ing Liberty fourth 4As called,
dropped small fraction. Treas
ury IS of 1948 and Treasury IS
of 1855 we're barely steady around
yesterdays closing prices.
Other sections of the domestic
list were nervous with the second
grade rails barely steady.
High grade investments were
quiet and sluggish. Medium priced
obligations did little.

Near mid-Session wheat was

The low visible supply as of

The expected small cotton
