$4,000 RECEIVED
FOR SEED LOANS
Money Being Used in Buying Seed
from More Successful Local
Farmers.

Returns to the amount of $4,000
have been received by County Agent
Stebbins, from the congressional ap-
preparation to finance drought strick-
en- farmers for the spring planting.
The number of loans applied for up
to Wednesday morning was 900, the
total amount requested is $150,666.
The money as received is immedi-
ately turned over to the applicants
who are using it for purchasing seed.
Among local men who are selling
seed of their own raising last year
are Pete Peterson, jim Aiken and H.
l.. Osterberg of Glasgow and Chas.
Reed of Vandalia.. That the govern
ment should be sending money for
the purchase of seed into a district
where home grown seed is for sale
is somewhat paradoXical, but is ex-
plained by Mr.. Stebbins in the state
ment that those who raised grain
last year did so on strictly first-class
summer fallow This does not change
the .act that many others were drouth
stricken.

"JONSEY" LEAVES
GLASGOW SUNDAY

l.. E. Jones, who has been secretary
of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
for five years, leaves Sunday to ac-
cept a similar position, for which he
has been appointed by the Great Falls
Chamber.
There is not business man, per-
haps not person in Glasgow,
who does not regret to have Mr..
Jones leave. From the standpoint of
success and efficiency, his record has
been one of continual achievement,
and constitutes the history of the city
during the five last eventful years.
To reprint what the Chamber has
done during his administration of the
secretary's office would take a vol
ume, and it would show that he has
been doing something every minute
for the city's good. Socially, both
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will be missed by
large circle.
The Courier is not perfunctory, but
deeply sincere in adding to that of
others, the wish that "Jonsey" will
meet with a large measure of pleas
ure and success, in the wider field for
his activities, which the new position
offers him.

Twenty-eight of the Shriner elect

cation of the magnificent structure.

lists favor is valuable commercial
asset. The financing of the Roose-
velt highway at this stage of develop
ment is the most difficult task of the
directors and an appreciation of the
real benefit that each town on the
road will receive from it, is something
that will be endeavored by demon
stration this year.
One of the most important tasks be-
fore the meeting was the election of
a secretary to succeed l.. E. Jones,
whose other engagements have oblig-
ed him to resign. This matter will
be decided within a few days. AS the
books and records of the association
are all in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms the directors accepted the in
vitation of the Glasgow Chamber to
use the rooms for headquarters,
which seems wise as this is a central
point and the interest here in the
movement is great now and is con-
stantly increasing. The new secre-
tary will probably make his home
here.
Arrangements were also completed
Sunday for the immediate publication
of booklet which will be for tour
lists use and will show in an inviting
way, the picturesque and other ad-
vantages of the northern route
through Montana. 1t is intended to
have the publication ready for deliv-
cry within 30 days. Opportunities are
offered to advertise in this book
which should be widely embraced.
In addition to a membership drive
which will take place the early part
of May, an assessment has been lev
led against each County for addition
al funds. A budget was prepared and
the apportionment was made, per
capita population.
The membership of the association is
divided as follows: Individual, sus-
tanning, life and community. 1nIivid-
ual membership viii be $500 per
wear, sustaining memberships, $500
per year, life membership $100 and
community memberships as provided
for by the County Directors.

Germany Held Responsible
Must Make Reparations"

Washington, April 4.-Formal state
ment of the attitude of the United
States as to German reparations is
contained in an exchange of commun-
ications with German government of
ficials made public today by the state
department. They are in the form
of memoranda transmitted through
Loring Dresel, American high COM
missioner at Berlin.
The German communication, dated
March 23, was written by DR.. Walter
Simons foreign minister, and asserted
it was entirely clear both to the
government and people that Germany
must make PREPARATIONS to limit of
her ability to pay" but sought tex
animation by unbiased experts" to de-
termine the extent of her ability.
In his reply, dated March 30, Sec
retary Hughes expressed pleasure at
Germany's ''unequivocal expression"
of its desire to pay to the limit of
ability and declared the United States
islands with the governments of the
Allies in holding Germany RESPONSE
BILE for the war and therefore NOR
ally bound to make reparation, so far
as may be possible.

BALL LEAGUE
IS ORGANIZED
Tentative Plans By Legion Will Like
ly Result in Some Lively Spring
Sport.

At the Legion meeting Monday ev-
enlng tentative arrangements were
made for the formation of a Legion
baseball league.
Messrs Berry and Burgess, from
the Malta, Chinook legions, respective
ly, were present with the Glasgow
representatives, and the work of or
ganization was proceeded with as far
as possible. 1t was decided to have
no salaried players but to use home
talent and Legion men only in the diff
ferent teams. The home team will be
required to pay the expenses of the
different games, but if possible a sill
yer cup will be procured by the league,
and presented as trophy to the team
winning in the series of games to be
played.
1t is estimated that Glasgow,
Chinook, Malta, Culbertson and Wolf
Point will all have teams, and proba-
bly, Saco and Harlem Each of these
towns has been invited to suggest a
schedule, from which the official
schedule will be compiled and sub
mitted
1t is considered safe to predict that
there will be some good amateur ball
games to give life to the towns in
this part of the state during the ap-
preaching season.

ARTESIAN WATER
VALUABLE ASSET
Montana Resource Is Now Utilized
BY Oil Men in Some New
Districts.

Plenty of Artisan water is again
proving a valuable Montana asset. Oil
operators in the Cat Creek fields are
quick to realize the fact and by the
establishment of an arteSian water
supply, will save large sums expend-
ed for water, according to the esti-
mate of d. A. Mcdonald of the Nc
Donald oil syndicate, who is in Bill
ings. The system already is in par
tial operation he said, and the end of
this week will see all of the wells in
the field connected with it, The i'm
mediate effect will be drop in the
price of water from 81 and $l.25 per
barrel to % cents.
Cat Creek operators estimate that
their water supply has cost them an
average of $4,000 per well.
Twenty-eight producing wells will
be connected with the water mains
this week, in addition to those in the
hands of the drilling crews, and others
will be hooked on as they are spudded
in. Two storage tanks, with an ag-
gregate capacity of 1000 gallons of
water, have been placed on an emf
nence overlooking the field The water
will be pumped from the artesian
wells to these tanks, and then will be
by gravity among the con-
sumers. Another 12,OO0-g gallon tank
has been ordered, and will be installed
as soon as the steel arrives at the
field.
The development of artesan wells
is receiving attention generally and
the turning Of this great resource in
to a reliable aid to agriculture is only
a matter Of time.

Bushels.

Washington, April "A winter
wheat crop, fourth largest in the
country's history, was forecast Thurs
day by the department Of agriculture
with a total production of 621 100000
bushels. This is 44,000,000 bushels
more than harvested last year
The condition of the crop improved
81 per cent from last December /,
the April l condition being 81 per
cent of a normal. The crop of 1919
was the largest of winter wheat ever
grown, with 729 million bushels.

OPTIONAL POOL
FAVORED PLAN
Twelve of Committee of Seventeen
Against Four Who Want Pool
Compulsory.

Chicago, April IA poll of the
committee of seventeen on the pool
ing proposition taken this afternoon
showed twelve for optional pooling,
four for compulsory pooling and one,
a government employe. not voting, ac-
cording to Chairman Gustafson.
The fight over compulsory pooling of
farmers grain, which began yester-
day on presentation of the committee
of seventeen's report on national
cooperative grain marketing system.
broke out Immediately TODAY on re-
convening of the farmers ratification
conference.
The attack on optional pooling was
opened by L. p. Bailey, chairman of
the Kansas organization committee of
the Wheat Growers association of
America, which stands for 100 per
cent pooling but is willing to compro-
mise on SO 1-3 per cent He declared
that effective regulation of wheat sup
plies could not be accomplished with
out pool.
The committee of seventeen made
its first answer through William
Hirth, member from Columbia, Mo.
compulsory pooling would mean
absolute defeat of this proposition be-
fore it got started he said. "Ad.
vocates of compulsory pooling urge
it TO get a better price for their
grain. That is what we are all after
"But lately we have had the great
est pool in the history of the United
States. Expecting higher prices. the
farmer has so thoroughly withheld his
wheat that it only triclked into the
market. It was shut off before-and
vet he has not been able to get a de-
cent nrice for his wheat"
Both sides of the pooling question
We're hopeful of victory when today's
first session adjourned. Efforts to
set an early hour for voting were de-
feated.
