THIRD LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST $3,858,260.50 This Amount to Be Distributed on Holdings in Ninth Re- serve District The treasury department will pay residents of the ninth federal reserve district $3,858,260.50 on September 15, as semi-annual interest on the third liberty loan. It is half of the annual $7,716.521, yielded at four and a quarter percent by the $181,565,200, worth of the third Liberty issue. pur- chased in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and the parts of Michigan and Wis- consin which are in the ninth district. M. E. Harrison, war savings director for the district, called attention today to the fact that post offices as well as banks, have arranged to accept either coupons or the treasury’cliecks for in- terest on registered bonds in payment for war savings. stamps and treasury savings certificates. Reinvestment of J.iberty bond interest, he pointed - out, is a compounding of loan interest, The yield of the bonds, which otherwise would be spent, is, at once turned, to, productive use if invested in stamps und increases constantly at the rate of four percent compounded quarterly. “Besides the advantage to the indi- didual.” said Mr, Harrison, “reinvest- ment in war stamps of Liberty bond interest is a tremendous help to the government which has to pay out $177,501,966.12 each year in_ interest on the third Liberty loan. Half of this, or $88,750,983.06, falls due September 15. The entire sale of ‘the third issue in all districts reached $4,176,516,850. National expenditures are now on a huge Scale and there is a general cry tor reduction, Reloan of bond interest by stamp purchases simplifies the goy- ernment’s problem just that much,” September prices of war savings stamps and treasury savings certifi- cates are as follows: $5 stamps, $4.2 $100 certificates, $84.00; $1,000 certifi- cates, $840.00.

YOUNGSTER FLIES OVER CITY SUNDAY Lee Hughes Has Wonderful Time and Fools Teacher With Aid of Birdman The fulfillment of boyish ambition! was achieved when Lee Hugnes, son of; Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Hughes took a ride with. Lieut. J. C. Cameron in his airplane Sunday afternoon. Lee has been greatly excited over! Lieut. Cameron’s exploits during the past week and had begged his parents so insistently to be allowed to visit the skies that they at last consented. In fact it was so bad, so his school- mates say, that Lee had a little dif- ficulty in school over the subject. Lee failed to ask the teacher's permission to look out of the window one atfter-! noon when Lieut. Cameron swooped | low over the city and for leaving his seat and being inquisitive, was kept in after school. - After the class had been dismissed his teacher said, “Now Lee seeing that you were so anxious to look out of; the window without permission this afternoon,” you can look out of the window for several minutes now and} watch for the airplane.’ Lee, somewhat abashed, did as he was told. He had no sooner reached; the window to prepare for his lonely vigil when he turned to his instructor with a yell of delight and said, “Oh look, there goes Cameron now.” And iby some trick of fate, Lieut. Cameron! appeared just a short distance above the school in full view of the excited boy, thus mitigating Lee’s punish- ment somewhat. Lieut. Cameron, having heard of the episode, thought he would give the youngster a good thrill, did a couple of spirals before bringing the machine and the happy Lee back to earth. “Oh, father, it was great,’ said Lee as he climbed out of the airplane's seat. “Siamese Twins” Are in Holyoke, Mass.

They returned to the field and landed safely after making an exceptionally steep nose dive and glide to earth. “My most wonderful experience,” was Miss Conner's comment as she alighted from the ship. “Now I know why the birds always appear to be happy.’ Nothing I know of compares with the thrills a person gets when riding in an airplane doing stunts.” REPORTERS ~ ON STRIKE IN NEW HAVEN ‘New Haven, Conn., Sept. 15—Three afternoon newspapers today prepared to issue editions under unusual con- ditons.

GRAND FORKS POOL IS BATHERS’ MECCA DURING HOT SEASON Benefits of a Swimming Place for Bismarck’s People Shown Conclusively Grand Forks $5,000 swimming pool has proven one of the most attract- ive spots in that city during the months just past. This is the report received here by those interested in Bismarck’s proj- ected $10,000 swimming pool which} will probably be built next spring in} Custer park by the city commission- ers. The pool at Grand Forks is smaller| than the one proopsed for this city, being 150 feet by 50 feet, a little more than one-half the size of Bismarck’s pool. According to the Grand Forks Commercial club, which has written the local Commercial club about their pool, an average attendance of 400) bathers and sometimes as high as 600 People take advantage of the cooling waters. , i The pool is open from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. and one day in the week is called “family day’ at which time boys and girls, men and women can use the pool at the same time. An attendant and a life guard are pres- ent all the time and since the pool ‘has been open not one life has. been lost. The money was raised by popular subscription to defray the cost of con- struction, the city donating $500 for the purpose. School children obtained a large amount of the subscriptions raised and the balance was contribut- ed by the business men of the city. VALUES TOO HIGH SAYS MANUFACTURER New York.—“Present values are ex- aggerated and abnormal, resulting; from and influenced by war condi-| tions,” declares Michael Doyle, presi- dent of International Pulp Co. “The vital things for the nation is to in- crease the production of food prod- ucts and living necessities at the ear- liest date possible. Higher wage stand- ards will intensify the situation, per- mitting a larger expenditure ond pro- ducing a greater demand for the pres- ent limited and scanty supplies, re- sulting inevitably in higher prices. The cure for the high cost of living is in expanding the output of farms and mills.” : “a mendments and several reservations. PPO Attacking the majority report of Chairman Lodge, Senator McCumber denounced most of the majority amendments as “selfish, immoral and dishonorable’ and charged that they seek to “isolate the United ‘States from the rest of the world and aban- don our allies.” To the substahces of some of the proposed reservations Senator Mc- Cumber’s report declares, “there can be no serious objection. But against the manner in which they are asserted I do hope earnestly protest. They are couched in a defiant, discourteous and overbearing manner and seemed in- tended to express a jingoistic spirit that ought to be eliminated from American statesmanshtip,” Scoring the committee’s reserva- tions to article 10 of the League of Nations covenant Senator McCumber said it really is an amendment “pure and simple” and designed to make the United States entirely out of the league. Special Opposition Special oposition was expressed by Senator ‘McCumber to the proposed amendments to the Shantung provi- sion. By this amendment he said Japan would be “kicked out” of the league by the United States and Shan- tung possibly left to China. Calling attention to what he term- ed the failure of the committee ma- jority to explain the purposes of the league Senator McCumber said: No Word As To Purpose “Not one word is said, not a single allusion read concerning either the great purpose of the league of nations or the method by which those pur- poses are to be accomplished. “Irony and sarcasm ‘have been sub- stituted for argument. It is regret- able that the animosity which centers almost wholly against the league should have been engendered against a subject so important to the world’s welfare. It is regretable that the con- , sideration of a matter so foreign to partsanship should be influenced by hostilities toward or subserviency to: the president.” Analyzing the committee amend- ment to give the United States equal vote in the league with England, the British colonies was “unnecessary.” The plan of giving each member nation one vote without regard to size or importance was the only possible plan the senator argued adding that to all intents and purposes the British colonies are independent. With his report Senator McCumber submitted six reservations he cham- pioned as substitutes for the commit- tee reservations. These recently were made public. Mike Gibbons Who Boxes at Mandan Fair Tomorrow Is Ready Famous World’s Middleweight Champion to Be Big Draw- ing Card at Fair Followers of the squared circle are greatly interested in the bout to- morrow night at (Mandan between Mike and Tom Gibbons which js be- ing put on by the Knights of Colum- bus as an entertainment for the hun- dreds'of soldiers and others who are expected to attend the fair there. The boxers, who are brothers, have been drawing big crowds wherever they appear. Mike, as all lovers of the fistic art know, is the holder of the world’s middleweight championship and is one of the speediest and clever- est boxers in the country. He has met all the best pugilists on both sides of the Atlantic and has built up a reputation that will also stand in ring annals as one of the best. The bout wil go four rounds which assures fight fans lots of action. Altho brothers, when they appear in the ring Tom and Mike start milling as if there were a championship title at stake. Having studied his brother closely for a long time, Tom can now make the champion extend himself to his utmost every minute he is in the ring. Mike Gibbons, during the war was athletic instructor at Camp Dodge where many local men who entered the service via that route had an op- portunity not only of seeing him in action but also glean a few inside points on the great national sport. Tom was also in the service in the same capacity in an eastern canton- ment. The bout is being staged by the “Casey” and all men in uniform will be admitted free of charge. The pro- ceeds of the bout will be turned over to the American Legion, the nation wide organization of former service men: The exhibition takes place in front of the grand stand at 7:30 p, m. sharp Tuesday.
