SPEAKS TO SAMMY and
FINDS OLD.TThE FRIEND
Arne Lee Reaches Liverpool and
First Yankee He Meets Is
Pete Miller Of Fargo.

Quite a coincidence that the
first Sammy / should strike up a
conversation with should be from
the old home town." writes Arne
Lee, who enlisted with a Canadian
contingent, in writing to his broth
er, Torger Lee, OF Fargo, we'll known
in labor circles of the city.
Lee sailed recently from Halifax
and passed through the storm just
after the Halifax disaster. He says
that hundreds on board were made
sick, and that he didn't care whether
the submarine got him or not.
We begin to feel that we are in
1t up to our necks now" says Lee.
Not only is there some form Of
discipline, which is on an sides, but
the enemy is only across the chan
mel and the report Of gun fire is
heard frequently when the weather
is favorable.
Il saw Peter Miller of Fargo at
Liverpool. He was with the North
western Telephone company for four
and one-half years. Captain Bunce
also was in the telephone battery.
Quite a coincidence that the first
Sammy I should strike up a con-
versation with should be from the
old town. There were six or seven
others from Fargo, but / could not
see them"

M'LEAN THINKS
FUND ASSURED

Fred Mclean, formerly Of Fargo,
registrar of the federal farm land
bank at st. Paul, was in Fargo
last week en- route home from Lang
don, where he spent Christmas. Mr..
Mclean, while here, stated that the
federal land bank of st. Paul had
been receiving an enormous list Of
applications for farm loans.
Loan associations are now organ
ICED in nearly all Of the counties of
North Dakota and the applications
are pouring in at this time. The fed
eral loan is proving very popular
with the farmers. The question Of
funds to meet these applications is
proving the most serious, and unless
the government authorizes more
money for this business, the bank
win be unable to accommodate all
of its customers. The revolving fund
proposed would very satisfactorily
adjust the matter and Mr.. Mclean
said that he expected ample pro-
vision for funds would be made.
