Special Dispatch 10 TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.--Georges Clemen-
ceau, describing himself as dirt
farmer" talked to the farmers of
America to-day in the Tiger room of
the Sherman Hotel. His immediate
listeners were delegates to the an
nual convention of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. Through
them he hoped to reach the fedora
tion's 100000 members and all others
who work the soil.
Counting his trip back to New York
he staked 1000 miles of railroad travel
on this one address. He wanted to
get his message to the farmers be-
cause he had been told they were even
harder boiled than Clemenceau's cele-
brated eggs when it came to the ques-
ton of the United States intervening
again in Europe.
Leaves Issue to America.

you once more and to tell you that
whatever you decide, my heart, which

You are entitled to make mistakes
like other people, like every man, but
am sure that IL you ever discover you

and repair it. / only pray you to think
Of it--thnlS Of the cause before IL may
be too late"
Throughout nis rambles in American
ZOOS and museums, Clemenceau has
cagily avoided tigers. but he was sur
feited with them to-day. The hotel room
in which he appeared Is den of tigers.
The walls were decorated by Josef
Urban in all the colors Of the jungle
and mystic Xanadu.

and helmet. bent two tigers crouchant
to her divine will.
This was the first Clemenceau meet
ing in America to be opened with a
prayer. the first at which "America"
was sung (and how we'll the farmers
sang it) and the first at which movie
men tried to shoot Clemenceau in ac-
tion. Three calcimine spotlights We're
turned on him when he got up to speak.
With hand over eyes. he shrank back.
"Ah. l can't speak with that flash in
my eyes, he said and was about to
take hts seat when the chairman. James
X. Howard, president Of the Federation,
bade the photographers desist.
"Afterward. IL you like" said Glenn
enceau. but. if you please. not now"
The spotlights were turned off and the
whole roomful OF men clapped loudly.
Clemenceau. introduced by the chair
man as "a man loved by all nations be-
cause of his deep love for his own ma
tion," received splendid greeting. He
got. his audience by saying of himself !:

what bankers call the moral risk.
Heretofore, the country banks and
merchants have furnished this sort OF
credit. But, mind you. we are now en-
deavoring to give the farmer as free
access to the credit markets Of the
world as other producers enjoy.
THE Raiffheisen banks in Germany
and the Credit Agricile in France have
as their basis ~the sound principle OF
mutual individual Endorsement. But
can see there are very grave difficult
ties in the way of that in this country.
These could be overcome by the forma-
ton of financial associations or corpo-
rations in localities so desiring, whose
purpose would be to provide the neces-
sary guarantees to the note OF the
farmer who wants and Is entitled to
obtain credit for the purchase Of ma
chinery or fertilizer. or for anything
necessary to the productivity of his
farm.
Local AssOciations.
"These associations or corporations
would be somewhat analogous to the
Farm Loan Associations Of our Federal
Land Banks. They would be controlled
by the farmers and others by whom the
capital would be subscribed. Notes for
productive purposes would be required
to have the Endorsement of the local
organization. which would have the
right to indorse and forward to a re-
gional institution for sale an amount OF
notes equal to ten times the locals cap
ital.
THE procedure under this plan would
be somewhat as follows:

NEW FARM FINANCE

Central Organization Proposed

Speaks i'm Chicago.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Bernard M.
Baruch of New York, in an address at
the convention Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation to-day, recommended
a new finance system to help farmers.
He explained that the production and
distribution of farm products were out
OF line with the rest Of the American
economic structure TO the disadvantage
Of agriculture. Federal statistics showed
that this disparity has reached 36 points
since 1918. This situation, he said, was
due to the better organization OF other
industries. Mr.. Baruch said:
"I have the following recommended
tions to make. regardless of whether you
market comparatively or as individuals--
although I do not hesitate to say that
am unqualifedly in favor of cooperative
marketing.
"a new finance system should be set
up to increase the volume OF three
classes of rural credits (1) Credit for
the more orderly marketing of crops.
(2) Credit for the purpose of raising
and marketing cattle. (3) Credit for the
productive purposes"

Pioneer Back for Visit Fails to
Locate House Which He Owns

Mr.. and Mrs. P. P. Lee and daugh-
ter, Miss Alyce Lee arrived fEsnl Bel
lingham, Wash, and are visiting with
old friends in this oity.
1t has been five years since Mr.
Lee visited Minot and altho he was
one Of the pioneers Of the city, he is
having just little difficulty in finding
his way about the city. For Instance,
he was looking Wednesday for house
which he owns.
"Do you know l have been unable
to locate that house as yet. | used to
know just where it stood, but that
part of the city has changed 50 much
that | have not found the hoaee. yet"
he said. The Independent ts9exs that
Mr. Lee will be able to locate Is house
before leaving the city.
Mr.. Lee was one of the pioneer mer-
chants of Minot, coming to this city in
the SOS. he started in busifess in
a small way and became very success
full. When he left Ninot more than
ten years ago, he had built up one of
the very best department stores in
North Dakota, disposing of his store
to julius Fauchald Of the New York
Store when he left for the west. He
has been at the head of the Lee Gro
Gerry Co., importers and wholesale gro
GERS at Bellingham, Wash, and has
built up a very extensive business.
Mr.. Lee still owns considerable val
liable property in Minot, Including
the fine block occupied by Frosaker
Bres., auto dealers.
Mr.. Lee is interested with L. \.
jacobson in a large number OF resi-
dence lots in Parkland Addition, which
are to be auctioned off on Wednesday,
June 21. He will remain here until
after that time.

FARMERS LET ONE
Rain A WEEK ESCAPE

DR.. !. Fl. Worst, OF the state immi-
graticn department., was in the city
Wednesday eEroute to Stanley where
he addressed big farmers picnic.
An airplane fight was one Of the
features OF the Stanley affair.
Mr.. Worst called at the Independent
office and stated that he was pleased
the way the people o. the Northwest
are boosting for this section of the
state. Everywhere he is urging our
residents to secure one more settler
each, whether it be this year or ten
years from now.
II have unbounded faith in North
Dakota" he said, "and know that this
is a, great farming state if it is farm
ed right, which is not so very often
done. ~
Farmers have been praying for
rain, when by improper methods they
are letting more >than one good rain
week escape from the soil. The
wheat fields are allowed to crack, per-
mitting the moisture to escape when
the farmers ought to go onto the
wheat fields with light harrows.."
Mr.. Worst stated that there isn't
enough moisture for both weeds and
crops. Our farming land is getting
older and there are varied weed prob
lens. Weeds sap a great deal of
moisture from the sod.
Mr.. Worst stated that while he was
President Of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college, an experiment was
made and it was found that the roots
of the wheat plant went down six feet
or more into the soA. It will not do
this with hard pan soil, but with a
soil like there is u the Red River
valley, this will be done. There is
an abundance Of moisture in the sub
soil, but the roots have not yet reach
ed it. Nj
North Dakota's average rainfall is
IL inches. Seven inches Of rainfall
will produce good crop Of wheat if
the moisture is not permitted to es-
cape. Mr.. Worst says he has exam
ined the wheat crop closely in north
western North Dakota and in his opin-
ion it has not suffered any damage
yet.

Band Day Melted Glenburn Band $500

Friday was band day at Glenburn
and notwithstanding the fact that a
rain fell all afternoon, the affair was
a big success.
Glenburn is proud Of her band and
she has full reason for being so. The
band consists of IS members, all good
musicians, and directed by Prof. Hugo
Toll, a very able band leader. The
Glenburn band was assisted Friday by
the Granville and Lansford bands,
making a As piece band. The Glen
burn band later will assist the bands
from those towns in similar man
nsr.
Rev. G. LIE Roy White of 'Minot
gave an address which was much alo-
preciated. Two ball games schedel-
ed for the afternoon could not be
played on account of the rain, fine
mist falling all afternoon, interfering
with the days events, but doing much
good for the crops. "A dance was
given in the evening. Some Of the
horse races scheduled for the after
noon were pulled off despite the fact
that the track was sippery. The band
received about $4,000 proceeds Of the
day.

STEADY rain IS
FALLING TO-DAY

A general rain started falling
shortly after seven o'clock this morn
ing and it looks good for an all day
rain, at least. The rain appears to be
general. Every drop is soaking into
the ground and this practically as
sures us bountiful crops thruout the
Northwest.
In this immediate vicinity, while
crops had not suffered, they were in
need Of moisture which has come in
plenty time. The rain is just right
for our immense crop of winter rye,
which is all headed out, and will soon
start filling. The wheat is making a
remarkable growth. The stand is un-
usually heavy and the color a bright
green.
