loan associations in these af-
.fected areas to be very careful
in our work.
We must pay the interest on
the bonds semi-annually, on the
day the interest is due. In or
der to do this, the farmers must
pay their interest semi-annually,
promptly when it is due. To as
sure this, a farmer must be in
such condition that he can pro-
duce enough from his farm to
support his family and make his
amortization payments, interest
and taxes, together with other
incidental expenses that he has.
The repeated crop failures in
the state OF. North Dakota have
demonstrated the, fact that the
only way a farmer can assure
himself an income sufficient to
meet these requirements is to
practice crop rotation and the
growing of livestock. "
There are, many grasses and
feed crops of various kinds that
will grow in the state of North
Dakota which can be depended
upon in periods Of drought as
we'll as in normal years. Farm
ers must turn their attention to
the raising Of livestock and
keeping mich COWS on the farm,

dependable income. They can
then also raise some grain in
their regular crop rotation and
assure themselves a grain crop
practically every year. Such
crops as wheat and oats, follow
ing corn, will do very well even
in q dry year.
What the farmers must get
away from is the one crop sys-
tenn of farming, namely the
raising. of wheat. Western
North Dakota, especially, is in a
semi-arid district and is not
suitable to wheat farming except
under very favorable conditions.
Much of the land should be SOW
ed to hay and feed crops and
various grasses for pasture, thus
reducing the number Of horses
kept on the farm.
Hereafter you will pay strict
attention to this, as we will on
ly entertain applications from
farmers who have shown by
their farming operations in, the
past that they have a depend
able income, and they must have
livestock and dairy cows to as
sure this for the future. We are
not only interested in securing
absolutely safe loans for the
bank alone, but we wish to pro-
tect the farm loan associations
SO that every loan in a given as
ISOLATION will be good and that
none will become a burden upon
the association, as such. In
this every member of the farm
loan association is interested
with us and they must not,
hereafter, approve a loan and
recommend it to us unless the
man has cattle, especially mich
cows on the farm and centers
his farming operations around
the industry Of livestock grow
ing. All loans that do not COM
ply with these requirements
will be rejected by us because
we do not consider them safe
loans.
We would kindly ask you to
Immediately notify every men,
Der of your farm loan associa-
tion of the contents of this let
ter so that they may be informed
of the attitude which this bank
will take with respect to loans
in their association hereafter.
This information should also be
made general by the members of
the farm loan associations SO
that prospective applicants may
understand our position and
your position in this matter and
they will therefore be able to
comply with these requirements
before making application For a
loan from this institution.
You will understand that this
ruling is not only to protect us
and. the farm loan association,
but it is for the best interests Of
the farmers themselves, for in
this manner they will make their
operations a safe and
dependable enterprise, thus pro-,
viding. the necessities and cum
forts for their families and as.
surfing themselves of the steady
progress of development to-
wards financial Independence.
This matter is of great import
ance and we desire that you give
it immediate attention.
Very truly yours,
b.. G. Quamme, President.

ALL HAND SIGNALS UNIFORM
Whatever Traffic Regulations May Be,
Principal Thing Is to Be Fair
to Other Fellow.

In driving through the country it is
little puzzling to know how to act
sometimes, for the traffic ordinances
vary in different towns. Might it
not be well to consider that certain
principles should be uniform? For ex-
ample, the hand signals. The hand
held out on either side of the car
should indicate that turn is to be
made to that side, or that the car
is to be stopped. A rotary motion Of
the hand would indicate a turn to the
opposite side, In turning corners to
the right, keep as close to the curb
as possible, while in turning to the
left go out around the center of the
street intersection. Do not draw up
to the curb except with the curb to
the right side of the car.
But whatever the regulations may
be, the principal thing is to be fair
to the other follow and always. give
him his half, says Dakota Farmer. If
all Of us kept this in mind and acted
accordingly, there would be no road
pigs and fewer accidents.

below will be found the answer to
the question which has been SO m
sistently asked In the caption above.
1t Is great pleasure to know from
timss to time just what Is being accom-
pished by the American Red Cross.
The largest American Red Cross
hospital farm in England is at Sails
bury, Southampton, where consider
able part Of the 186-acre estate Is un-
der cultivation.
One thousand wounded and GONZALES
cent American soldiers played hosts
to King George, Queen Mary and Prin-
cess Mary at big military hospital in
hartford. just outside London, recent
ly. The royal visitors inspected Amer
lean Red Cross activities at the hos
pital. A good time was had by all.
Santa Claus, Christmas and the Red
Cross roll call come but once year.
The roll call takes place during the
week of December 16. Speak up
and dig down-when your name is
called.
One Of Christopher J. Kringles first
stops on Christmas eve will be the
American hospitals in France. In
every ward of every hospital he will
ind a Christmas tree and Red Cross
workers waiting to help him fill sol
der socks.
The Belgian commission Of the
American Red Cross has established
fund known as the Queens Purse"
for war victims. Queen Elizabeth Of
Belgium goes about to hospitals con-
stantly supplying little extra COM
forts to patients. She has spent large
sums of her own for this purpose, and
In addition the American Red Cross
provides a purse Of $1,000 for this
purpose.
