TRAIL OF MISSING.
GOAT IS WARMER
Policeman Martinson Re
ceived It and Gave It To
; Travelling Man

The latest development in the mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of Katsers
Goat No. 1 completely exonerates the
taxi driver from all blame and proves
his story Of having passed the goat
10 a policeman to be true,
The policeman in question is Gill
bert Martinson, who curiousiy es-
capped the QUESTIONABLE put out to
the force by the chief at the time Of
the goats disappearance. Marttnson
admits having been given the goat
as alleged by the taxi man, but says
he gave IL to a travelling man in front
OF the Metropole hotel, that he does
not know the name Of this man but
knows him well by sight, and that
he will make It his business to To-
cate him and in this way further
track Of the missing stamp seller
may be secured,
Now, II the travelling man who was
given the goat on the morning Of
March IL will kindly come across
with further information, the noted
stamp seller may be recovered. I'm
recorded pledges to buy 5000 or 5000
worth Of war savings stamps to help
the government win the war are on
the missing goat, and IL it is not re-
covered It will mean just that amount
Of loss to the boys over there"
Hence the anxiety Of the committee
to locate 1t.
Goat No. 2 did not travel very fast
in the last twelve hours, but wound
up on time at noon with a total Of
&1,s70.5O pledged for the purchase OF
war savings stamps per month. To-
day A. ]. Gulach has the honor Of
being the Grand Goat. Those having
the goat since last report are: J. w.

WOULD PERMIT
FEDERAL LOANS
DESPITE GRAIN
and FEED LIENS

p. ID. Norton, member Of congress
from North Dakota, has introduced
q. bill in the house Of representatives
at washington to amend the federal
farm loan act to permit federal farm
loans to be made in states where FEED
and seed liens are given priority 40
cording to a telegram received py
The Forum today.
Such an amendment would nave
particular relation to North Dakota
IN which such q condition exists, and
as a result Of which the federal farm
loan bank in ST. Paul has refused to
accept applications for loans, ana is
holding up $4,000, 600 in loans which
have already been approved.
Mr.. Norton's telegram, in full, fol-
lows:
farm loan board held that federal
farm loans could be made in North
Dakota Notwithstanding conflict Of
state feed and seed bonding act with
FEDERAL farm loan act. the board on
last Saturday revised its position and
now refuses to authorize the making
OF loans in North Dakota until OBJ
5ectionable provisions of feed and
seed bonding act are passed on by
North Dakota supreme court, or are
repealed. Realizing from many tele-
grams and letters which are reaching
me the serious condition that will be
created in the state by holding UP Of
the six million dollars OF farm loans
which have already been approved by
me st. Paul Land bank. I have been
IN close consultation the last three
DAYS with Secretary McAdoo and
other members of the farm loan
board in an effort to get the tangle
htraightened out.
Have introduced bill to amend
federal farm loan act to permit fed
kral farm loans to be made in states
where feed and seed liens are given
priority. Judge Amidon Of Fargo has
been called into consultation with
the st. Paul Land bank on the mat
ter of conflict of state and federal
haws. kilograms, and letters which
should be sent to Secretary McAdoo
may result in getting more liberal
construction placed on law by the
federal farm loan board"

TO BACK LADD
REGULATIONS
Complaints To Be Heard
and Investigations To
Be Conducted

DR.. E. F. Ladd, food administrator
for North Dakota, announced to The
Associated Press today he had re-
ceived assurances from Federal Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover, at
that he would receive the
vigorous backing OF the food admin
istration in the enforcement Of the
regulations on the selling price of
wheat mill feeds, which went into eff
feet Friday throughout North Dal5o-
Ia upon order Of DR.. Lsadd, and which
is one Of the most far-reachtnR Or
ders to be issued by the State Food
Administrator, since that office was
inaugurated.
DR.. Ladd also announced Food Ad-
Hoover had instructed
him to receive complaints on this
matter and promptly investigate all
cases. The state food administrator
was also advised that any manipulat-
ing Of the price or unwarranted mix
ing Of wheat mill feeds will be con-
sidered by the food administration as
an evasion or violation of the food
regulations and will
be subject to penalties for violation
OF the rules.
Following is the telegram received
by DR.. Ladd:
Machinery for the vigorous en-
forcement Of the regulations on the
selling price of wheat mill feeds has
been set up and you will receive COM
plants in this matter and promptly
investigate all cases"
"(Signed) Herbert Hoover"
Accompanying the telegram, DR..
Ladd said, was an announcement Of
a general reduction in the margins
allowed to iobbers Of mill feeds, which
is in line with the special regulations
put into effect by DR.. Ladd Friday,
March 18th.
Evidently the United States Food
Administration has found that the
consumers OF mill feeds need special
protection in other states, as we have
found IL necessary in North Dakota"
DR.. Ladd declared. we are now as
sured of special support in putting
the feed regulations in effect in this
state"
Another telegram received by DR..
Ladd from Washington declared that
millers should be warned that the
manufacture of an undue proportion
of any one grade Of mill feeds, not
normally produced by that mill, will
be construed as prima facte evidence
OF an attempted evasion Of the rules.
Needless to say. DR.. Ladd assert
ed, these special orders regarding
the regulation Of the sale of mill
feeds will be vigorously enforced in
North Dakota"

CORN WEAKER ON.
EMBARGO ORDER
Only Cars Available For
Shipments East Are
Those of Eastern Lines

Chicago, March 20.-Corn prices
weakened today owing in considerable
degree to q drastic embargo against
the reloading Of western cars with
grain for shipment east. The only
way left for shipments east is in
equipment furnished by eastern lines.
Recently eastern lines have handled a
large number OF western cars loaded
with kiln-dried corn for export Open
ing prices, which ranged from a shade
to Ac lower, with March S1.27A ana
May $1.26H, were followed by moder-
ate further declines.
Oats. like corn, were dominated by
the bearish influence OF the eastern
embargo. Fine weather for seeding
tended also TO depress the market.
with May SO to S61h, prices underwent
an additional sag before beginning to
react.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
strength to provisions. Lard led the
