BAER SHOWS NEED
FOR FARMERS AID
Advantage of Farmer Legislature
Brought Out In Congressional
Investigation.

When Congressman Baer Of North
Dakota first introduced in congress
his resolution providing an appropri-
alton of $5O,000,0OO to buy feed and
seed for farmers who had suffered
crop failures in the past two years,
so that a big acreage of spring wheat
can be planted this season, most all
Of his colleagues merely smiled. They
thought it q joke, to ask the House
and Senate to really come to the aid
Of farmers in an emergency, even
though helping the farmer would
save the country from famine.
Hoover Appeared at Hearing.
When the House committee on Agri.
culture gave an all-day hearing to
Baef's resolution, and then called up
on Herbert Hoover and Secretary
McAdoo for advice a. to how to deal
with it, the other congressman woke
up. Indeed, some of them woke up
sufficiently to come to the hearing,
and take part in the demand for &C
ton. Rep. Evans Of Montana and
Rep. Norton Of North Dakota testi-
fed at considerable length, on the
necessity for immediate Government
Aid fol livestock and seed wheat for
planting.
Rep. Rankin also spoke on tho tron.
bles Of $4,000 homesteaders on the
new wheat lands Of Eastern Monta-
ma. As these homesteaders have no
title to their land, they cannot Dor.
row through the farm loan associa-
lions.
Farmer Legislature Helped.
One Of the points brought Duh most
clearly was the fact that North Da.
kota, having q farmer legislature
elected by the Nonpartisan League,
had acted on It's own account, and
had provided for loans to its farmers
for this year. Montana. and Oklato-
ma and Texas, having the type Of
%gang-ridden legislature,1 had been un.
able to protect their farmers.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Gorder and fam
lily attended services in Bottineau last
Sunday evening.
A very interesting game of base
ball was played here last Saturday
between Carbury school team and the
Souris school team. The game was
decidedly in favor of the home team
for the first five innings, when the
Souris team saw the need of some
strong throwing and put their best
pitcher in the box. At the end of the
ninth inning the game stood II to II.
The tie was finally broken in the 18th
inning when the visiting team scored
8 more runs. The game was very
good from start to finish and showed
clearly that they are under a very able
coach. W. hope the boys will ap-
preciate this fact and make the most
of their opportunity while they have
Prof. Schultz with them. q

He did not say anything in this cable

For example, his latest regulation

one pound per week per person, this
pound including the bone and other
waste parts in the meat as bought In

very short-France had less than half

It Is being done, but can only continue
to be done by the help and full co.

To supply the wheat necessary until
