N0CHEAP MONEY
FOR LEAGUE MEN
Regain Farmers Disappointed
When They Discover Non
partiSanS Killed Bills

William 'Hert and Andres Hoch-
halter, well known league farmers OF
the Regan neighborhoOd came to Bis.
marck yesterday to borrow cheap
money to finance their spring farm
ing operations. They had been told
that the league had decapitated the
niquitious law placed on the statute
books by Big Business, and that the
legal rate of interest had been re-
duced from ten per cent to six per-
cent. They expected to get the mon
ey at six and to return home prais-
ing the league and the wisdom which
prompted them to join it. They did
neither. They discovered that House
Bill 154, reducing the legal rate from
10 to 8, and Senate Bill 16. reducing
the legal rate from 10 to 6, had both
for some unknown reason quietly re-
ceived the axe. Much ado was made
over the introduction of these bills.
but the league organs failed to men
ton their death or the manner OF
their going. Messrs. Hert and Hoch-
halter went to the capitol for further
assurance. which they received. One
state officer was even unkind enough
to intimate that President ToWnley's
banking operations might have
changed his attitude toward this type
Of legislation.

GREAT FALLS
FRIEND GIVES
CLUB A BOOST
Feels That Bismarck Should Do
Something for Soldiers
and Sailors

Writing from Great Falls, Mont, on
the stationery of the Soldiers and
Sailors club of Cascade county, Il Bis
marck subscriber endorses the pro-
posal made several days ago that the
capital city provide club facilities for
it,, returned fighting men. In part he
says:
"Gentlemen: In your issue of March
|15, I was very much interested in the
article regarding the need for a club
for young men, especially returned SOL
diers and sailors. I lived in Bismarck
for number of years, leaving there
last June, and l believe l know the
situation.
"The Soldiers and Sailors club in
this city meets this need very success
fully, and feel if you could put some
one in touch with the local secretary OF
.his organization they would be very
glad to assist and advise in any way
possible to help make such an organi-
zation a success in Bismarck. The
club here is financially indebted to the
local Red Cross for it's initial funds to
start the work. 1t operates an en-
ployment department for S. & S. men
only, at no charge whatever to the
men,. The secretary of this depart
ment is a returned soldier. All trains
are met by two soldiers, and returning
men are encouraged to register with
the club.
"The club is run by responsible re-
turned soldiers and is a success. They
provide sleeping quarters free OF
charge for men out of work or passing
through the city on the way back to
their homes. The club rooms are open
all day and until late at night, and
pool tables, a photograph, reading
rooms, etc, provide a welcome place
for the men to find the barracks COM
radeship' which was the best part of
army life. Occasionally feeds are put
on to get the boys better acquainted
Two dances have been held.
II merely outline this as a sugges.
ton. 1t seems to me that the Co. A
armory could be made very good all
around headquarters and club room
for such an organization. The local
organization here has now affiliated
itself with the World War Veterans
of Montana Association which is a
state organization. l am not an Off
Ger of this club, l am merely mem
Der, and l certainly enjoy the privi-
leges offered to all the boys. 1t is
such a success and the boys here arc
so enthusiastic about it that when
read your article couldn't help but
sit down and pass the good word along,
II write you only in the hopes that
it may get into good hands and the
boys coming back to Bismarck may
possibly have the opportunity Of en-
;oying such club as we have in Great
Falls. After the initial funds are Sc
cured, the organization can be self
supporting. the same as any lodge.
This is real welcome for the boys.

Movement Started

men of Bismarck, and the young
