This is to certify that | attended
the revival services held in this city
under the leadership of Rev. W. L.
Head, in January and February OF
this year. The meeting was a great
one, full of spiriturl fervor and pow
er. Mr.. Head isn't all head; In him
Is big heart. He is surely religious,
a man who not only believes in, but
who has experienced change OF
heart, new birth. The whole Head
loves God, and the whole Head be-
lieves absolutely in Jesus Christ as a
personal Savior, and in His power To
save. In his manner and method
Mr.. Head isn't somebody else, but
strictly himself. He breaches the
old-time religion, I'm the old-fashioned
way. He is sound in doctrine and
faithful in its presentation He does
not please everybody, nor does he try
to; but he does study to show himself
approved unto God. He is a worth.

"HoNEST JOHN" BURKE EXPLAINS
Government OFFER OF AID TO
FARMERS OF the NORTHWEST

Treasurer John Burke's letter
to the editor of the Harvey Jour-
nal and the editors comment is
herewith published as follows:
ANY farmer who does not want
to sell his grain at the present
low market price, but who needs
money to pay for harvesting and
other running expenses until such
time as the price advances, may
place his grain in local elevator,
take the storage ticket to his local
bank-if the bank is member Of
the federal reserve system and
borrow up to nearly the value of
the grain, for 90 days, on his per-
sonal note, at the rate of six per
cent per annum.
A sworn statement of the far
mer's financial standing is not
necessary.
The note can be renewed at
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1915-09-30

maturity, if the farmer desires.
The grain does not necessarily
have to be in terminal" ware
huse; a local elevator is satisfac-
tory, or even the farmers own
granary, according to Mr.. Burke.
The idea of the Federal Reserve
Banking board is to render all the
help possible to the farmer, with
out red tape or restrictions of any
kind. If the farmer has any diff
Guilty in obtaining the loan, the
fault must lie with his local bank
er.
If the farmers of the Northwest
will take advantage of this assist
ance, and hold their grain, the
price will go up, and the grain
trust will be beaten at its own
game.
1t might be mentioned that the
First National Bank of Harvey is

is worth exactly the market price
on the day it is placed in storage,
with a small deduction to cover
possible fluctuations in the mar
ket, and to take care of the ele-
vator charges. However, no far
mcr would want to borrow every
cent the grain worth. All he wants
is enough money to enable him to
hold his gain for rise in prices.
The amount to be loaned would
rest with the local banker, but
about three-quarters of the val
uation would be reasonable
limit.
Mr.. Burke's letter is as follows
Treasury Department, Wash
ington, ID. c., Sept. lS, 1915.
My dear Mr.. Richards:
have your letter of Sept. II.
together with your letter to the
Federal Reserve Bank of Mime
apolis, making inquiry with ref
erence to loans through the Fed
"ral Reserve system, and in reply
will say that so far as the Reserve
Board is concerned and the Re-
serve System is concerned. every
effort is being made to make such
loans as simply as possible.
TO your first question, "Must
the grain be covered by terminal
warehouse receipts?" the answer
is. no. In the statement of regu-
lations sent out there was a mis-
take by the stenographer in leav-
ing out the word 'or'' after ware
house, so that it is made to read
warehouse terminal receipts. .
when it should be warehouse or
terminal receipts" The Minneap-
oils Reserve Bank is the only
Bank which has placed the narrow
construction on the language and
the Federal Reserve Board has
just promised me to take this mat
ter up with the Reserve Bank at
Minneapolis at once and inform
them of the mistake made in the
regulations. Even without the
word 'or'' the regulation should
not receive the construction plac-
ed on it by the Reserve Bank at
Minneapolis, for with the word
"or'' left out, it reads warehouse
terminal receipts or shipping doc
uments covering approved and
readily marketable, non-perish-
able staples properly insured"
and warehouse receipt is ship
ping document covering approved
and readily marketable, non-per-
ishable staples. l have written in
the word "or" in the regulations
where the membe.s of the Board
say that it should be, SO that you
will see there is question about
the right to loan money on local
warehouse receipts. 10 require
terminal elevator receipts, Mr..
Harding, Of the Federal Reserve
Board, has just said would defeat
the purpose Of the law and the
regulations made by the Reserve
Board. The local warehouse re-

the only bank in Harvey territory
that is a member of the reserve
system.
The resources of the federal
government are at the disposal OF
the farmers. If they have any
trouble in obtaining accommo-
dation, they are asked to write to
the Editor Of the Harvey Journal
and the complaints will he refer
red to the proper authorities.
Mr.. Burke's letter is in reply to
one sent him a week ago, in which
copy of the letter written 20
the Federal Reserve bank at Min
|neapolis was enclosed. The letter
of the Minneapolis bank, publish
ed last week, was evasive and did
not answer any of the questions
at issue. Note the difference in
Mr.. Burke's letter, which is frank
and explanatory, and covers every
point fully.
That something is radically
wrong with the Federal Reserve
Bank at Minneapolis would APP
pear from the letter from Hon.
John Burke, treasurer of the
United States, which is printed
herewith. The letter from the
governor Of the Minneapolis bank
which was published in last week
issue Of the Journal, has been
forwarded to Mr.. Burke, but the
letter herewith presented was
written before that evasive COM
munication reached him.
A peculiar feature is that the
Devils Lake Journal is the only
daily paper in the state which
has printed a word about this
money being placed at the dispos-
al of the farmers of the North
west. The Fargo Forum, the Cour
ier-News, the Bismarck Tribune
the Grand Forks Herald, and the
Minot-Optic Reporter have re-
manned suspiciously silent.
If the news had been given wide
publicity so that farmers could
take advantage of the offer, the
price of grain would Immediate
ly go up. That is perhaps the rea-
son why the trust controlled news
papers haye not published the
facts.
Although no definite charges
have been made, there is strong
suspicion that the Minneapolis
Federal Reserve bank is dominat-
ed by the Chamber of Commerce
Of that city, or its allied interests.
The enormous drop in the wheat
market during the last few weeks
is directly traceable to the grain
trust, which hoped to take advan-
tage Of the farmer who was COM
PEELED to dispose of his grain in
order to meet his obligations.
Every objection offered has
been swept away, and there is no
reason why the farmer should not
take advantage of the opportun-
ity to hold his grain.
Mr.. Burke says that the grain

CUSTOM NOT AN OLD ONE
Practice Of Numbering Houses Ma,
Be Said to Have Originated In
the Year 1918.

The almost universal custom Of Civ.
ing street numbers to private houses
so that they can be easily identified
Is comparatively young. II was In the
year 1913 that this idea struck the
fancy OF a Partisan architect. but II
was not until nearly three centuries
later that the system became general.
In Berlin an eccentric method Of
numbering houses was first adopted.
They were numbered without any ref.
ercnce whatever to the name Of the
street. A tenants address would be
described merely as 1000 Berlin" In
Peirograd an excellent way OF display.
