1898 Young Men Register
in n. D., Says Crowder

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. ,23.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder estimates
that 1908 young men who have at
tanned the age of.21 since June s. will
register in North Dakota next Satur-
day. Adjutant General Fraser re-
CARDS this estimate a trifle high be-
cause Of the large number Of young
North Dakotans who have enlisted in
the army and navy, and his guess is
between $50 and 1000 men,.
General Fraser intimates that these
registrants will not have to wait long
to get into service. 1t is anticipated
that an early call will come for them,
and they may begin training before
the end Of September.

OVER HALF OF
LAND BANKS
LOANSMN. D.
St. Paul's Federal Land
Bank Ranks Second in
United States.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 23.-With
1883 loans to farmers in four states.
a%ggregatihg $~16.884,000, in fifteen
months, to August 1, st. Paul's Fed
eral Land Bank ranks second in the
United States in the number Of loans
and the amount disbursed to the
farmers in any one land bank divis-
today from the Federal Loan board at
Washington. /. -,f
Spokane ranks first among the
banks. with. 1851 loans. amounting
to $1s, 5000, although it is stated at
the bank here that st. Paul had led
Spokane last month. Omaha comes
third in the list, falling almost So
600, 900 below the st. Paul bank, with
1856 loans. amounting to $~13,922,000.
Half to North Dakota.
, More than so per cent Of the loans
In the St. Paul district were made to
farmers Of. North Dakota, according
to a statement given out at the bank
here today. The other so per cent
is divided between the farmers Of
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The bank here had expected to
achieve first place, but the officials
are we'll satisfied with the showing
that has been made.
Nonparty Hurt Record.
One Of the handicaps imposed on
the st. Paul bank was brought about
by a temporary check to North Da-
kota loans through a ruling Of the
Federal Farm Loan Board that re-
strictive laws passed by the Nonpart-
tisan league legislature made It i'm
possible to continue. business in the
state. The matter, however, was ad-
justed and business resumed.
$117,249,O 900 Loaned.
More than $117,249,00O has been
put out in farm loans since the in
auguration Of the farm loan system
fifteen months ago. In July alone
1858 farmers obtained $~7,S53,0O0 in
loans. The heavy demand for loans
in the past month was brought about
by the urgent necessity for speedy
handling OF war crops. s.
Only about half of the loans ap-
piled for at the st. Paul bank have
been closed, and this same ratio ap-
plies to all Of the seventeen Federal
Land banks.

the ground and the one in the tree

the ground and the one in the tree
above me spoke occasionally-just
as if every little while one of those
on the ground would ask the one in
the tree if he was certain there were
no enemies in sight, and the crow in
the tree would say that everything
was all right, and for the gang to
go ahead with it's business. A Jay
bird alighted in a neighboring tree,
and the sentinel crow spoke several
times rather excitedly to his fellows
on the ground, and they shouted
back to him, but presently the jay
bird went his way and the conver-
sation grew less animated.
Then l moved a little and the
crow in the top of the tree saw the
movement, but he could not make
out what it was. He said something
to the crows on the ground, and
everyone of them stopped picking
in the stubble and held his head
erect as if about to fly. The crow in
the tree top kept talking as if he
were telling his brothers there was
something he did not understand,
but that he would investigate, and
for the whole flock to be ready to
depart instantly. All the while he
was craning his neck to get a better
view of me, and hoped to another
limb, where he had a better view.
The moment he saw me he let out
a scream and every crow on the
ground took fight, along with the

BIRDS HAVE A LANGUAGE.

The following article, by George
F. Burba, sounds like l.. Roy Ferris
of Mexico in some of his Wood
craft Stories, which we used to run
in The Message, which, we are told,
are soon to appear in book form:
The birds and animals do not use
a great many words, or sounds, but
they can certainly understand each
other. That is, they are able to con-
verse with each other to some ex-
tent. There isn't any doubt about
it. They have their alarms of dan
ger; they have their distress calls;
they have their softer tones of af-
fection.
The other day l was sitting be-
meath some heavily foliaged trees
in the edge of a piece of woods, con-
cealed from a wheat field that came
up to the forest. When 1 took my
seat there, there were no crows in
sight. Finally a crow alighted in
the top Of the tree above me, after
having circled around a few times
N maka ailre fhara uoro mn apa,,;ae
lurking in the woods. 1t did not
see me, and it sent out a cry-sev-
eral caws, caws, caws-uttered at
the top of it's voice. Presently the
air was full of crows, and they a
lighted in the stubble a hundred
yards from the edge of the woods.
There were some occasional re-
marks from some of the crows on

up in the tree. After an hour or so
1 left the shade OF the woods and 1
had not gotten far away when I
heard a crow talking from the top
of a tree across the valley, and all
of the flock again alighted in the
stubble.

largest rats in our trenches that

the boys up the line have a trot-

Altho, with very few exceptions,
the rural teachers of Audrain
county closed their respective
schools without any Junior Red
Cross organization, thru my contin-
ued efforts and the diligent and very
kind aid of the Senior Red Cross
chairman, 1 am able to report that
the Juniors under my jurisdiction
have completed 100 refugee gar
ments, 400 shot bags, and 1000
gun wipers.
Burnham Auxiliary alone, with
Miss Ida Waggener as deputy
chairman, completed Al of these

The following schools are now Or

Those either partially organized
or working temporarily: Molino,
Fisher, Friendship, Hazel, Liberty,
Pine, Sims and Daniel.
Others have made movements,
when word came that sewing must
stop. very few schools have war
gardens. 1 would advise that all
clubs do all they can toward" can

and vegetables. The following bull
letins may be obtained: Farmers

1 take this opportunity of person
ally expressing my gratitude to each

the appointment with satisfactory
and commendable interest and dill
gence; also each senior chairman,
who so promptly and gladly did all
that was asked. Especially will l
mention Mrs. G. Waggener, Of

much help in some half dozen dis
