UNCLE SAM CAN'T REACH
FRAUDS IN farm LOAN
Promoters Of Joint Stock Banks who
Are Tricky Do not Come Under
the Federal Laws.

Washington, Oct. 21-Promoters Of
fraudulent schemes for organizing
Joint stock banks In the new rural
credits system cannot be prosecuted
under federal fraud and conspiracy
laws. according to an opinion given
the farm loan board today by Attor-
ney General Gregory. He then replied
by ruling that the alleged frauds ap-
parently fell within the scope Of
state laws.
The post office department now is
being consulted in an effort to deter
mine whether prosecution can be
brought under the postal laws. The
board has received many complaints
tice that no charter would be issued
for any bank whose, organization pro-
motion expenses were paid.
In order to correct widespread
impression that farmers can borrow
on second mortgages under the new
farm loan system, Herbert Quick. q
member Of the board. issued state
expressly prohibits acceptance Of Sec
ond mortgages. 'T ~
Under the law" he said. mo mort
cages can be accepted except first
mortgages. 1t is the opinion. however.
of many bankers and real estate men
over the country that where nrSt
mortgages are given with low interest

vate investors will become a very
much more attractive form of securi-
ty than under the present system. The
opinion is quite general that the sec

that the system in this way will con-

BORDER GUARDS
DISCONNECTED
Letter from Member of Da-
kota Scores Government
and Officials.

The enthusiasm Of the members of
the National Guard to return to their
homes is shown in a letter received
by a prominent business man Of this
city from a friend stationed at the
border with the North Dakota regi-
ment. The following indicates the
spirit, rs shown in the letter:
Il don't think very much of soldier
ing on the border. If 1 wanted to
make soldering my lifework I would
have joined the regular army long
ago, but when I joined the National
Guard, I thought 1 was doing a pa
trtotic stunt and would be called up
on only in time of actual need. I
have learned to my sorrow that it is
not to be so. In my opinion the whole
thing is the most colossal blunder Of
the age.
Personally, 1 have been set back
year already. and if this thing goes
on, God only knows how much worse
off I will be. | am ready and willing
to sacrifice my all for a cause, but
my blood hoils when 1 stop and think
that I must be part and parcel to
stupid dress parades, grueling
marches and military maneuvers for
the pleasure and edification of such
persons as General Funston and Sec
retary of War Baker. ct al, who are
toying with the army
They are doing a far more serious
thing than they realize. They are
toying with the patriotism of thou
sands of loyal. red-blooded Ameri-
cans. who are chafng under the cruel
restraint on the border. You have
no idea what feeling of discomfort
prevails here. All these men came
down here because they We're going
to fight Mexicans and they came
willingly and gladly. They didn't
think they We're coming down here
to loaf and build roads and do other
things that 1 haven't time nor space
to mention.
II might mention the 'slum gull
lion they hand to us periodically. and
also that lot of us have come down
with malaria, dengue fever and para
typhoid.
''And what is all this for? Pre-
paredness they tell US. Rot! We
were in better shape two months aft
er we were called out than right now.

ANGRY GIRL DRANK
LYSOL; LIFE SAVED

Friends to Immediately Summon
Physician for Hurt Shoulder.

Angered because physician was
not Immediately summoned to minis

lin. aged II. cashier at the Dacotah
hotel. drank lysol. Prompt medical
aid was summoned and the girl will
survive. though her mouth and chin
were badly burned.
According to employees Of the hotel.
the young lady had been with man
friend the evening previously. In
volved in an alteration, the friend
became mixed in a fight, and Miss
FRANKLIN was knocked down in the
scrimmage and had her shoulder in
jured. After returning to the hotel,
she urged fellow employees to sum

Immediately do, thinking the hurt
was not serious. Angered, she swal-
lowed small quantity of the poison.
The young lady's whereabouts is not
known. and she Is believed to have
left the city,.
Grand Forks herald., 1916-10-21

We had ambition and patriotism
then: we drilled with some pep but
now we are rusty and stale and have
lost interest. All that any of us think
about Is going home and trying to
make up what we have lost.
II am SO glad to hear that the Sol
diers' Aid is planning to give the boys
treats on Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. However, we would gladly fore
go such kindness if we could only
get back home.
II don't know any more about
when we are going home than you
do. The latest rumor is that we are
going home on the 18th. However.
don't take much stock in any of
these rumors. In my opinion it will
be a long time after the 18th when
we pull out.
To-day and yesterday we received
much better eats than we have been
receiving since on outpost and 1 feel
more optimistic and better all around.
Believe me. it makes some differ
ence! think l could whip a few
Mexicans now and get a lot of this
bad blood out of my system. How
ever, it is not so bad but what it
might be worse"
