SEED LOAN
MONEY DISTRIBUTED

, Up to last Tuesday morning 40
checks were mailed to Burke coun-'
ty farmers to as many appli-
cants for federal aid with which
to purchase seed grain, and the ag-
gregate amount of these checks
was S7,485.O0, according to re-
rt issued from the Fargo Office.
At the same time farmers in Di-
vide county were issued fO2 checks
aggregating s77,79O.OO, Bottineau
county was sent $51,254.OO, Nc
Kenzie county s57,33S.O0, and Rem
Vile county S31.21925, these coun-
ties having received the largest
amounts from the Fargo office. Di-
vide county received more than any
other county in this state. Close
to half of the applications sent in
from Burke county were returned
for various reasons, and some are Of
the opinion that this county is be-
ing discrir'inated against, for the
reason that it is furnishing county
aid for seed and feed purposes.
Renville and some of the other
counties are unable to issue bones
for seed and feed for the reason
that they have already reached
their debt limit. Many of the APP
plications returned are accompanied
by a notation that the applicant
raised enough wheat last season
for seeding purposes this year, and
should have held it TOR this pur-
pose. Many others are returned
for the reason that the applicant
failed to sign the receipt for the
chattel mort rage. In the latter
case the money will be Forthcoming
as soon as this receipt is signed.
Many farmers who had their appli-
cations returned because the re-
ceipt was not signed are procuring
money to purchase seed from other
sources, preferring not to take any
more chances on the federal loan
Office, as this seed is wanted now,
and would not do any good in a
month or two from now. Up to
this time one-third of the amount
allotted to North Dakota for this
purpose has already been distribut-
ed.

SINCLAIR ON HOUSE s-,,s.
u AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE

On April 9th the Republicans OF
the House OF Representatives., Wash
ington, D. c., held a caucus meeting
to ratify the assignment Of their
members to the various commit
toes. All western North Dakota
will be interested in the announce
nlent that Congressman J. H. Sin
clair was chosen to serve on the
Committee on Agriculture during
the next Congress. This. committee
Is one OF the major, or important,
committees of the. House., and COM
petition for a place upon it !, was
very keen. The selection of the
Congressman from the third dis
trict' is fitting recognition Of the
splendid service he has already Civ
en- in the cause of agriculture, and
will place him where he will be
more influential in dealing with
the important problems that con-:
front our nation today. It is be-
ginning to be realized in official
circles in Washington that the bus
mess Of farming is in a very pre-
carious condition, due to lack OF
credit to farmers, and to faulty
marketing conditions. Secretary
Wallace has stated that he; is dis
posed to lend sympa:netic aid to-
ward remedya policy in strik-
ing contrast to, thas of the last ad-
lninistration. II the secretary car
ries out his advance promises, there
should be. some relief for the farm
nrs of North Dakota, as we'll as
those Of other states, from tho dis
pressing conditions unuer which
they have been struggling. In as
;sisting to this end, agriculture will
have 9 sincere and able representa-
tive in Mr.. Sinclair, whose know

Corp. Sidney Ernest Manning Is the third and youngest of a family of six children, three sons and three daughters. He was born on a farm at Shackerville. near Butler Springs in Butler county, July IT. 1891: his father being MT. Bine$ Manning. and his mother, before her marriage, was Miss Lizzie Vickery.
 About the time of Sidney's birth, MT. Biney Manning moved his fam fly from Butler to Escambia county and settled upon a farm few miles from Flomaton, where he still re- sides. Sidney is himself a farmer, and since his return from overseas has contracted for a farm near Flo maton. Indeed, Sidneys ancestors have all been farmers, possessing the same sturdy, moral qualities which have ever characterized the southern white farmers.
 When the United States made its call for men to help put down the Germans. Sidney Manniny volunteered for service, June IT. 1917, and leaving behind a young wife, and a baby daughter less than a year old. he went into training at Camp Mills, N r., beig a member of the One Hun dred and Sixty-seventh infantry of the Rainbow division. On November 5, following he sailed with his divi- sion overseas. landing at Liverpool Within months time he was in the trenches at the Lorraine front. Re- maining at the Lorraine front 16C days. he went from there to the Champagne front. Briefly some of the other places at which he fought besides the two mentioned. were Chateau Thierry. Argonne woods. and on the Marne. He was gassed twice and was wounded nine times.@
 Besides all that, he underwent as as soldier In one of the hardest fighting divisions that went from the United States overseas, he was called upon to suffer greatly or account of many deep sorrows, which took place al his home.
 Once he did not hear from his home people for six months. Having been transferred to Camp U. s. Troops A. P. 0. 741. the senior chaplain John H.
