A FOUR FLUSHER
GETS WELL CALLED

We note that credit is being claim
ed for Carl Riddick on account of
the seed money disbursed by the
Federal government in 1918 to the
dry land farmers of this section who
had neither cash nor credit to pur-
chase seed after a total crop failure.
This money came out of the humid
red million dollar fund voted by con-
gress to the president to be spent at
his discretion for war purposes where
no appropriation existed to owe the
expense. Congressman Carl Riddick
had nothing to do with it. A dispatch
under date of October 13 from Sena-
tor Walsh fully explains the matter.
The dispatch follows:
Chicago, Oct. IS, 1920.

before Riddick went to Washington.
No money for seed was secured after
he came. No loans were cancelled.
