Set ASIDE FUND
TO AID FARMERS
President Places Five
Million at Disposal of
Agricultural Bureau
to Loan to Needy.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-To aid
wheat growers of the west, who have
suffered severe losses thru winter
killing of their crops and thru
drought, President Wilson has placed
100000 at the disposal of the
treasury and agriculture depart
ments, it was announced July 80.
The sum will be issued in loans to
farmers in the affected sections gem
orally thru the federal land banks.
To Help Needy Farmers
THE primary object of the fund"
says statement issued by the de-
partment of agriculture Monday
night, lis not to stimulate the plant
ing of an increased fall acreage of
wheat or rye in the severely drought
affected areas, or even necessarily to
secure the planting of normal acre
age, but rather to assist in tiding
the farmers under all conditions with
a view to increasing the food supply
of the nation and to add to the ma
tional security and defense"
Loan Small Amounts
The loans, the department an
probably will not be made
for more than three dollars an acre,
with maximums of 100 or $50 acres.
1t is stated that it is not intended
that the fund should be used as
loans to farmers who have banking
collateral and can otherwise secure
loans.

Lower Bids Wanted

E. M. Kennedy, the chairman of
the committee designated to secure
bids for school wagons next year,
says there seems to be lack of COM
munity cooperation ON the part of
school wagon drivers for this dis
trict. They do not seem to realize
the benefit it is to their boys and
girls and their neighbours boys and
girls to have the privilege of having
placed at their disposal a comfort
able school wagon to transport their
children to and from school on cold,
snowy days, on hot, dusty days and
on wet, muddy days, thus saving
much time on the part of the child
rem walking to and from school or
on the part of the parents by having
to drop whatever task they might
be engaged in, or have a man lay off
for that period to hitch up a team
and take the children to school,
drive back, unhitch the team and get
started at the unfinished task and
suffer the same delay again in he
evening when time comes to bring
the little ones home again.
The matter of driving a school
wagon does not mean many hours
a day to the driver and in looking
over the bids for school wagon driv-
ers the board have about concluded
that they are all somewhat high and
when driver asks
from $500 to $4,000 a month for
the performance of this task.
Any person who possess the right
spirit Of cooperation and realizes
the benefit to the community by hav-
Ing these school wagons in operation
will place his bid low enough for
The board announces that unless |
bids within treason are received for
school wagon drivers they will be
entirely.

FIRE DESTROYS UTAH ,WOOLEN
MILLS ENGAGED IN ARMY WORK

PROVO, Utah-Two of the largest
buildings of t he Provo Wooden mills,
the largest mandatory in this Sec
ton, and engaged on government
contracts, were Tuesday destroyed by
fire. Loss is estimated at 100000.
Cause of the fire is unknown.
The fire attacked four buildings,
destroying two of the largest of the
plant. 1t was hoped late Tuesday
that two would be partially saved.
Insurance to the amount of 5000, 900
was carried, mostly on wool, which
was stored on the premises and
which is said to be total loss. The
fire originated in the wool-drying
plant of the company. Altho the
theory of company officials is that
it was due to spontaneous combus-
