The farmers OF the Northwsst are

statement, Mr.. Burke re-opened q
controversy he had with the officials
OF the Ninth district bank at Minne-
apolis several weeks ago.
Something for Farmer.
1T indeed would be strange IL there
were not something IN that law to aid
the farmer in getting credit when.
there Is so much agitation the coun-
try over for a rural credits law" the
former governor OF North Dakota
said. THE clause in the bill permit
ting the member banks to loan money
on commodity paper backed by ware
hpuse receipts is mot Of SO much
benefit to the farmer because In order
to take advantage Of that clause the
farmer must put his grain In an ele-
vator and the storage charge plus the
Is per cent interest might amount to
more than he could get the money for
from his local banker.
Short Time Loans.
There is another provision in the
reserve bank act which a Y that the
banks may loan money for six months
on notes, drafts and bills drawn for
agricultural purposes or for live stock
That is the clause which is of real
benefit to the farmers.
But the federal reserve bank at
Minneapolis has not carried out that
provision and why nota In my CORE
spondence with It's chairman, John H.
Rich, / asked him that question and
he has never answered my letter.
Called II "Ail Bunk
THE only answer / have seen to 1t

Here is a clause put in the bank

the farmers good. It is given precr

1t has q six months maturity whereas
other paper has only three, months
maturity. The purpose OF this was to
let the farmer get his money long
enough to finance his crop"
Urges Care In LaWrnaking.
Mr.. Burke warned the farmers to
see that in their efforts to get q
rural credits law they get a good one.
Hs said they have been a 9 in
foreign countries.
He reiterated his opinion that the
reserve bank at Minneapolis is plac-
ing a narrow construction on the law
when it contends that it could loan

OLD LAWSUIT o
Case Long Upon Court Calendars Of
Dawson County Ends.

Mitchell, s. D.-A decision In ia
vor OF Frank Weller was rendered in
the case which has been in the courts
against Minnie Boyton over the settle
ment of property involved in adjust
ment OF affairs Of the Commercial
State bank OF Plankinton. of which
Albert Boyton was cashier.
The case involved the ownership OF
a business lot in Wagner valued at
about $1,000. Under the decision Mr..
Weller is given possession OF the
property.
AS d result or embarrassing fnanc-
|ialrcondition In the Commercial State
bank in 1910 Mr.. Weller, as evidence
showed, agreed to assume all the
debts OF the institution, giving a bond
Of $50, 900 to the state banking de.
partment. Albert Boyton for many
years well known here, In return
turned over all his property to Mr.,
Weller, which included q deed to 9
lot in Wagner. It was agreed at NAT
time that Mr.. Boynton should have an
option on the purchase Of this lot for
$4,000, for a certain period Of time
The case arose over the fact that
Mr.. Boynton placed on record a dee
conveying the lot to his mother, which
|antedated the deed to MI. Weller \
thus appeared to be an attempt to &c.
fraud Mr.. Weller of his title. Judge
r. B. Trip, before whom the case
was tried at Yankton. decided that
there was no evidence showing the
delivery Of the deed to Mrs. Boynton
and hence Mr.. Weller was entitled to
full possession of the property.
