NO RED TAPE IN
OBTAINING LOAN

Grand Forks, N. D., April 12.-Red
tape has been thrown into the waste
basket at the federal seed loan office
here in charge of C. w. Warburton.
The office is speeding up the job of
of placing hundreds of drought
stricken farmers in position to plant
a new crop this year. Wiz.
Numerous essential details must be
carefully handled if the loans are to
reach the applicants who are in the
greatest need. For this reason every
effort is being made to single out
those who have been the heaviest
drought suffers for special considera-
tion.
The legal requirements for making
a seed loan are now comparatively
simple.A crop mortgage in North Da-
akota and seed lien in Montant are re-
quired by the government as security
for the money advanced. The appli-
cant must furnish a note for the
amount advanced, bearing interest at
per cent.
The main difference between the
transaction with the government and
that with an ordinary bank is that
the farmer with no credit with bank
is the one most favored by the gov
ernment. Preference is also given tc
married applicants over bachelors.
The method which has been adopt.
ed of handling applications through
county agents has hepled materially
in speeding up the work, and checks
are going out every day in increasin!

Judge Allows Sentenced
Men To Care For Crops

Williston, N. D., April 12.-District
Judge John c. Lowe has perhaps
established a new precedent in re-
leasing five convicted prisoners re-
Gently committed to the county Jail,
with the provision that all return on
Nov. l to complete their sentences.
The reason for Judge loves action
is that all of the released men are
farmers, and if compelled to serve
their entire sentences now it would
result in the loss of their crops and
probably their farms. Before permit
ting their relesae, the judge required
the court costs assessed against each
to be paid in cash.

Why Eddie Reilly
 Quit League Ball

Eddie Reilly, of local sport fame, has not been requested to verify this yarn, recently related by a sport fan who is noted for his conservatism:
 Reilly in his younger days was a fast and heady ball player of promise. He attracted the at tention of Jim O'Rourke who in- duced him to give up a SIP clerkship in a local drug store.
 'What'S the use of working all day and night in a store when I'll give you the same money Tor playing ball." said O'Rourl1e.
 The argument looked good to Eddie and he blossomed out as a member of the Bridgeport league team. He was gong good and was being heraIded as a coming big leagUer, when he ap- preached one of his close friends and advisors and told him he was going to quit league baseball.
 'EWhy? You're making a mistake. You'll be tossing away the chance of your 1ife," Eddie was informed. "Why?'' de- nlanded Eddie's friend
 Its like this," replied Eddie fSThe other players keep borrow ing money from me every day and I never have any of my SIP salary to myself
 So, that is why Eddie Reilly quit league ball.

President Tells
 Giants Captain
 Yanks Will Win

Washington, Sept. 29-The Yankees are going to win the Worlds Series hands down.
 That is the opinion of the First Fan of the Land.'
 President Harding told Captain Bancroft, of the Giants, who call- ed to pay his respects, that the Yankees have a better pitching staff, and, in his opinion, are al- most certain to win.
 ''I believe that only one even quality could keep the Yankees out of the worlds championship this year, and that is for Nehf and Barnes, of the Giants, to show the form they did last Fall,'' said President Harding. "Other- wise the American Leaguers, with their splendid pitching staff, are going to win."
 Captain Bancroft, however, didn't seem bit discouraged by the Presidents prediction.

Arnold Jackson, Greenwich. and Mrs. William A. Gavin, England's lone survivor in the tourney.
 While in both of their previous clashes this year at Buffalo and New London, Miss Cummings has come out victorious, the brilliant game which Miss Co1lett continued to put up yes terday in defeating Mrs. Fred c. Let's, IT,, Chicago, and 2, left few willing to risk a prediction as to how the tide of battle would run today. The JackSon-Gavin match brings to- gether two players thoroughly exper- fenced in tournament play, Mrs. Jack son having twice won the American championship in 1908 and 1914, while Mrs Gavin enters the match with all the confidence gained in her recent victory for the Canadian champion. ship.
 The English player won her way to the semi-final matches by defeat ing Miss AleXa Stirling of Atlanta, three times title holder, in a grim struggle decided on the 18th green yesterday, while Mrs. Jackson came out victor over Mrs. Quentin Feitner the South Shore star failing to con- ttnue the brilliant game which elim- mated Miss Marion Rollins. last year S title winner, in the first round.
 The match between Mrs. Gavin and Miss Stirling yesterday furnished the sensation of the day, the players reaching the 18th green all even and the latter losing the contest only when her ball was stymied IS inches from the hole.

RED SOx BALk
 FLAG "CINCHING" BY THE TANKS

Baked by the Red Sox in the first game of the series. largely because of the stellar play of three of their former teammates. the New York Tanks resumed their hunt today for the elusive mathematical certainty in the American League pennanI race.
 Needing but a single victory to clinch the championship, the Tanks failed yesterday in their attempt 10 settle the issue despite the fact that Joe Bush. premier American League twirler, was on the firing line. Busn did well. but could not match the brand of hurling uncorked by Rip" who piloted the Red Sox to a 5-1 decision. The hitting of Derrtn Pratt and Johnny Mitchell, also ~ank cast-offs, figured in all the Boston scoring.
 The St: Louis Browns. whose re- maining chance in the race rests on the possibility of tie, which would result if they win all of their remain ing three games while the Tanks 1osr the same number yet on their sched- ule, get into action today against the White Sox after a 1ay-off Of severa3 days A defeat for the Browns would automatically eliminate them from from the contest, regardless of how the Hugmen fare.
 Should the unexpected happen. however, and the Browns tie the Tanks for the pennant, the ruIes pro- vide that a play-off of three games would be necessary to decide the championship. These games would have to be played in neutral cities or the league. probably Chicago, Phila- deIplia and Boston. Such an eventu- ality also would necessrrates a post ponement in the opening of the world l series.
