looking for a woman known as Mrs.

LEAGUE CONGRESSMAN
AIDS DROUTH VICTIMS
J. I'll. Sinclair Fathers Bill Provid-
ing Federal Seed and Feed Loans.

Washington, D. C.-J. Fl. Sinclair,
Nonpartisan league congressman
from North Dakota, has introduced
a bill providing federal aid for farm
ers in the drouth areas Of Montana
and neighboring states.
Thousands of farmers in the rain
less territory have lost not only their
grain but will lose their stock unless
aid is forthcoming, for their own
regular bank credit has been exhaust
ed by the calamity.
Representative Sinclair, who is a
North Dakota farmer getting his en-
tire living until elected to congress
from the soil, knows better than most
congressman what drouth conditions
would mean to the farmer, and he
advocates federal aid to the amour:
of S5,00O,000 in the form Of seed
grain and feed for stock.
A LIMIT OF $500
Advances up to $500 to any one
farmer should take the form of loans
with the next crop as security. Sim
clair would thus have the govern
ment take some of the risk which
the farmers are unable to bear alone
and for which they are in no way re-
sponsible.
A part of North Dakota is expert
encing drouth, but the problem there
is not so acute because of the county
bonding act to aid drouth farmers
and because the new state bank Will
be able to make unusual credit avail.
able to the drouth sections. Farm
ers in Montana, Wyoming and South
Dakota, which do not have this pro
gressive legislation, must look to the
federal government for any relief.
TEXT OF THE BILL
The full text of the Sinclair bill
reads as follows:
'Be 1t enacted ~ the senate an
house of representatives of TIT
United States of America, in con
gress assembled, that the secretar!

president of the college exceeds that
of any other president of Montana
state institution, now becomes dean
of men in the college, and profess
sor of economics, a subject which he
has taught for many years, both at
the State College here and at the
State University in Missoula where
he was vice president before he was
called to Bozeman.
President Atkinson comes to his
work at the college with a thorough
acquaintance with Montana educa-
tional conditions, with a technical
knowledge in agriculture which has
made him a nationwide authority in
his special field, with large expert
ence in administration, especially re-
Gently as food administrator during
the war for the State of Montana,
and with a popular personality and
an extensive acquaintanceship among
the men with whom he will have to
deal in Montana and the neighboring
states.
President Hamilton lays down his
work as president after a distinguish
ed career, during which the college
and it's work have grown many fold
during the years of the rapid de-
velopment of the state. During his
administration the college has en-
joyed uninterrupted growth and pros
perity, he has been an educational
leader in the state at large, and a
powerful influence for better things
everywhere.
Under the circumstances the
change in administration is made
with the minimum of loss as presi-
dent Hamiltons long experience, well
known devotion to the state and
wide knowledge are still at the SER
vice of the college and Mr.. Atkin-
sons long connection with Montana
affairs has prepared him to take hold
of his talks with a sure hand.
