ANNE] a ATI SSSA ay 07 Min fh G Hi, ii 8 ake ag Me Article No. 32 By WM. E. McKENNEY (Secretary American Bridge League) The hostess of today is always looking for a new way of entertaining her guests. There is hardly a gath- ering where sooner or later bridge is not suggested. The following de- scribed game was designed to enter- tain groups of two tables or more at contract bridge. Kettle Bridge For Contract The hostess, or one in charge, shall mark four tallies for each table, let- tering them respectively N, 8, E and W. They may be assigned to the players or drawn for if desired. Upon receipt of the tally, the player shall take the seat designated and sign his name in the space provided. A score pad with scoring schedule shall be provided for each table. The hostess or one in charge shall give to each player an equal numbér of chips. At the start of each round, each player at every table shall de- posit one chip in a container (or ket- tle) that has been previously placed in @ convenient spot in the playing room. If @ pair bid for and make a grand slam, they go to the container (or kettle) and take out three chips each. If they bid for a grand slam and are defeated they shall each deposit three chips in the container (or kettle). If @ pair bid for and make a small slam they each withdraw two chips from the container (or kettle). If their bid of a small slam is defeated, they each deposit two chips in the container (or Any time a pair's contract is de- feated 400 points or more, they shall deposit one chip each in the contain- er (or kettle). No chips are taken out of the kettle for a successful contract other than a slam. Four hands are played at each table. If a deal is passed out, the deal passes to the left and the scorer shall give both sides zero on the score pad for that deal. At the end of the four deals (or round) the scores for both sides are totaled up at each table. The smaller score is subtract- ed from the larger score, The net result will be the plus score of one pair, and the minus score of the other pair. The pair who has the largest net plus score of any pair in the room shall receive 60 per cent of the chips in the container (or kettle). The pair with the second largest net plus seore in: the room shall receive 30 per cent of the chips, and the pair with the third largest net plus score shall receive 10 per cent of the chips. By mutual agreement, the chips may be divided in any other manner. For instance, 50 per cent, 30 per cent and 20 per cent, or 50 per cent, 30 per cent, 15 per cent and 5 per cent. After the chips have been divided at the end of the first round, players now change places and partners. Each player again deposits one chip in the kettle and the second round is under way. Tomorrow: Match play progressive bridge. kettle). Special Warrants Legal Investment Special improvement warrants is- sued by cities are “obligations” of such cities, and are legal investments for trust funds, to an opin- according jon issued by Attorney General James | x, consolidated with the} morris. The opinion was given at the re- quest of the First National bank of Grand Forks. Mr. Morris called attention to Chapter 250 of the Session Laws of 1929, under which trust funds may be invested, among other ,things, in the bonds or obligations of townships, school districts, cities, villages and counties within the state of North Dakota, which bonds or obligations have not been issued as a bonus for, or purchase of, or subscription to, any railroad or other private enterprise, and whole total bonded indebtedness does not exceed 5 per centum of the then assessed valuation thereof.” Chapter 171 of the Session Laws of 1929, requires @ city council or city commission to levy a tax to take care of any deficiency in special improve- ment warrants, the opinion stated. Under the latter law, Mr. Morris said, special improvement warrants issued by cities are obligations of such cities, and are legal investments for trust funds. _ Apple Creek 4-H Club Elects 1931 Officers was held at the home of George Koch at Bismarck, Octo- ber 18.

D., Oct. 23.—A procession reminiscent of days in which the buckboard, bustle and sod shanty were well known to northwest pio- neers will feature the annual North Dakota Agricultural college home- toming parade, October 25, college of- ficials have announced. All the modernism attributed to colleges will, for one day, at least, be changed to an atmosphere depicting the gay '90’s—when men were men and women blushed—as Bison organ- izations guide their floats down Far- go's main thoroughfare in an exhi- bition commemorating the 40th an- niversary of the institution. A crowd of 10,000 is expected. Far from the gay ’00s, however, is the alert mind of Casey Finnegan as ‘he prepares his Bison footballers for the northwest grid classic on that day with the University of North Dako- ta.
