GOVERNMENT BEGINS COL
LECTION OF SEED LOANS

The Department of Agriculture to
which Congress has delegated the ad-
ministration of the Federal Seed
Loan Acts, is making preparations
for the collection of seed loans this
fall. A field office is maintained at
Grand Forks, N. D. and the collec-
tions will be handled from that point.
Field agents are at present canvas
sing the seed loan territory to ex-
plain the policy Of the Government
with reference to the collection of
these loans, and to receive payment
of loans. Lists of unpaid 1921 and
1922 Federal Seed Loans have been
sent to all grain dealers, banks and
county agents in the seed loan terri
tory with instructions for their guild
ance in handling these loans. Grain
elevators and banks which have not
received these lists should notify the
Grand Forks office without delay.
During the past two years, Con-
gress has appropriated moneys total
ing $500, 100000 for seed loan pur-
poses in regions where special need
was indicated. These seed loans have
been placed in the states of North
and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho
and Washington. Owing to the crop
failure last year the Department OF
Agriculture did not press the collec-

ton Of the 1921 loans, but in q great
many cases extended the time until
this fall. As a result there nov re-
mains for collection a large numbel
of 1921 loans as we'll as practically
all of the 1922 loans. Both farming
and business interests in the seed
loan territory has been materially
benefited by these loans, and in
view of the good crop yields which
obtain throughout most of this re-
gion, the position is taken that the
Government should now, in fairness
to all, be fully reimbursed.
AS security for these seed loans,
the Secretary of Agriculture holds
liens which are a first claim upon
the borrowers 1922 crops. The pro-
ceeds of the grain first sold by the
borrower must be used in paying his
Federal Seed Loan. Both sellers and
buyers of grain which is mortgaged
to the Government should not over
look their liability under these liens.
This applies with equal force to
mortgaged grain which is pooled and
shipped through the various grain
growers associations.
In cases where borrowers are stor-
ing their grain in local elevators in
anticipation of higher prices or for
other reasons, it is pointed out that
the Department will not ask for the
immediate sale of the grain provided

ANOTHER LIFE THROWN AWAY

"This very day." said a travelling
salesman, mot long after leaving Chi
cago our train struck and killed a
~middle-aged man at a crossing"
"The pool fellow was cut in two,
right across his body. The sight was
almost too much for me.
"He had just been talking to his
daughter, whom he left standing
about 20 feet from the crossing. A
witness stated that he walked right
in front Of our train without looking
to right or left, so he " knew
what hit him.
"When I went back and saw the
CHASTITY sight, I was reminded OF the
saying How slight is the dividing line
between life and DEATH
"Here was a man, just starting out
on a Monday morning, to attend to
his business-I know not what it was,
but it was important to his wife and
his family.
"Who knows what thoughts occu-
pied his mind at that moment? 1t was
evident that no idea of personal safe
ty was present; and yet here was a
great crisis in his life and just a
pause would have saved him.

or walking across railroad tracks, to

In spite of the weight Of apprehen-
sion that pressed upon the Silent City.
Polly's soul insisted on singing with
gladness. She found opportunity, even
in the midst of her busy hours. to live
over and over the adventures of that
evening ia the Robertson house. When
she remembered how Robert had held
her in his arms. her happiness made
her almost faint.
She allowed Jerry's Bingham blouse
to fall neglected in her lap. as In mag

her visit. She recalled the thrilling
tenderness in Roberts words, and her
face grew soft In delightful revery.
