U. S. AIDS in MOVING CROPS.
Banks Got $34,o00,0oo From Treasury,
Secretary McAdoo Announces.


Washington. - Preparations for dis
tribution of approximately $34.0OO,OOO
OF government funds to be deposited in
national banks throughout the country
to facilitate the marketing of crops and
TOR other Legitimate business pur-
poses," in accordance with Secretary
McAdoo's announcement, are being
made by treasury department officials.
While that sum has been decided upon.
Secretary McAdoo stated that he
stands ready to increase the amount to
any extent to meet the needs of the
country.
Decision to distribute government
funds again this fall was the result Of
replies from 5000 national banks to
recent treasury department circular
asking whether All unusual demand for
money was expected this fall and for
what purposes. The policy Of distri-
buting funds for crop moving purposes
was inauguated last year, when about
$35,OOOOOO of the 100000 Secretary
McAdo0 had decided upon was deposit
ed in the crop moving sections.
Wh1ie the principal demands for
funds has come from the south, certain
sections Of the southwest and west
have requested deposits. Secretary
NcAdoo announces that he is prepared
10 begin the distribution of funds as
soon as the banks comply with the
regulations and present the required
security.
Federal. state and municipal bonds
and prime commercial paper will be
accepted as security for the money,
upon which the banks will pay per
cent interest. Last year the secretary
required that 10 per cent of the de-
posits be secured by government bonds
That requirement. however, will be
waived this year.
Prospects for unusually large crops
and greatly improved business condi-
tons throughout the country were in
dicated, Secretary McAdoo says, by
the replies from the bankers to his
circular.

DAKOTANs FORTUNATE.

Grand Forks, Aug. l2.-NOrth Da-
kotans are proud of their home state
and always appreciate its advantages,
but at the present time they are es-
pecially impressed with the fact that
it is good to live in this state. Euro
pean countries are in the midst Of
what promises to be the greatest war
in the worlds history, and as conse-
quence business is demoralized, not
alone in foreign countries but in many
portions of the United States as we'll.
This condition, in so far as the United
States is concerned, is only temporary
for as soon as readjustments can be
made, this country will forge ahead
rapidly because Of the demand that
will come for her products. In North
Dakota, where foodstuffs are produced,
even the period Of REIMBURSEMENT nee
|essary in other sections of the coun-
try where manufacturing is more
prevalent, is not found so necessary.
This state has raised a good crop for
which, there will be a world demand
with consequent raise in price.
