Barnes county, was crowded with pa
triotic, enthusiastic people yesterday

son in town belongs to the Red Cross"

PARTING OF THE WAYS"
ADVANTAGE TO STUDENTS

That the students of the State Nor
NAL school have some unusual oppor-
tunities because Of the location Of the
institution has been manifested this
week. Three notable speakers, pass
ing back and forth over the country,
have stopped within a few days and
have given virile chapel addresses.
On Wednesday morning DR.. A. E.
Winship, of Boston, was the speaker;
on Thursday, Hon. Richard E. Wenzel,
states attorney Of Pierce county, ad-
dressed the students; and on Friday
morning, no less prominent educator
than President H. H. Seerley, of Iowa
State Teachers college, spoke. So it
is all through the year.
Being located on two transconti-
mental railways, Valley City is at the
parting of the ways, so to speak, and
students of the State Normal school
here receive the benefit in more
ways than one. Did you ever think
of that?

Mill Wheat Receipts
100000 Bushels

Washington, March 23.-Wheat re-
ceipts at mills have fallen from 8,000,-
900 bushels to 100000 bushels a
week within the last month, according
to figures received BY government
agencies. The decline is ascribed to
the desire to hold wheat for higher
prices which would be obtained if con-
gress passes the price Of wheat to
$3.50 a bushel.
Corn growers have written the food
administration threatening to aban-
don the planting of corn for sowing of
wheat, unless the corn price also is
raised and fixed. Food administration
officials regard the situation as SER
i ious since a great decline in the corn
acreage possibly might result in a
tremendous decrease in hogs and 9th
er meat animals. ".t

NORTON WOULD AMEND
FARM LOAN MEASURE

Washington, March 2O.-Congress-
man P. D. Norton of the third district
in North Dakota thinks there is a
possibility of so amending the federal
farm loan act as to make the loans
made to farmers in that state legal
in spite of the action of the board in
declaring that $6,000,000 Of proposed
loans are now null and void.
Mr.. Norton said to a newspaper
representative today:
while two weeks ago the federal
farm loans could be made in North
Dakota Notwithstanding conflict of
the state feed and seed bonding act
with the federal farm loan act, the
board on last Saturday revised it's
position and now refuses to authorize
the making of loans in North Dakota
until Objectionable provisions of feed
and seed bonding act are passed on
by the North Dakota supreme court
or are repealed.
"Realizing from many kilograms
and letters which are reaching me the
serious condition that will be created
in the state by holding up of the
Sc 100000 Of farm loans which have
already been approved by the St. Pau
Land bank l have been in close con-
sultation the last three days with Sec.
! rotary McAdoo and other members Of
the farm loan board in an effort tt
get the tangle Strengthened out.
have introduced a bill to amend the
federal farm loan act to permit fed.
eral farm loans to be made in states
where feed and seed liens are giver
priority. Judge Amidon of Fargo has
! been called into consultation with the
St. Paul Land bank on the matter Of
conflict of state and federal laws
kilograms and letters which SHOULD
be sent to Secretary McAdoo may re-
suit in getting a more liberal con
struction placed on law by the fedora
/ farm loan board.'
