Farmers Get
State Hail Warrants
But Cash Is Scarce

Devils Lake. N. D.. Jan. 2s.-
State Hail Commissioner Olsness
writes of Ramsey county to Treasur-
er Powell, that the hail warrants for
the county r being sent out and
that in due time all the farmers who
suffered hail losses will receive their
warrants.
Farmers from Minnewaukan and
Fancher townships report that they
have received these warrants. How
ever, as tho hail fund will not be
available until 1919 taxes are paid it
looks as though the farmers who suf-
fered hail losses will not be able to
get their money for some months yet.
The proposal. that the Bank Of
North Dakota take up these war
rants. and give the farmers their
money, was taken up by a local
bank. but there was, ''nothin' doin'."
Although the state bank has all the
public funds Of the state within its
control, and reports cash on hand Of
millions Of dollars. they don't pro-
pose to let the needy farmer have
the benefit Of any Of 1t by taking up
the warrants. Evidently they expect
local banks to loan the farmers
money on these warrants.
