RETURNS FROM VISIT
TO CALIFORNIA FRIENDS

j. B. Switzer returned Sunday from
a visit of several weeks with his par
ents, sister and other friends at Glen
dale, neal Los Angeles, California,
It was the first real vacation Mr..
Switzer had taken fyr several years
and h.: enjoyed the trip thoroughly.
California, at least southern Cali
fornia, says Mr.. Switzer, is so favor
ed in 50 many ways thai it Is cAper-
i~ncing a high degree of prosperity
right now when other parts of the
country are still waiting for it. Cali
fornia luck seems never to change.
The state produces so many valuable
commodities. When prohibition came
the grape growers thought they were
ruined but now, for some reason, the
price of grapes has doubled and the
demand keeps up. There are many
oil fields, some of them new and some
very old where seemingly ~inexhaust-
able wells pour out the liquid gold
from depths of 1000 feet.
Los Angeles is now claimed to rank
as the 9Th city in size in the United
states and the tenth in manufacture
ing.

RETURNS FROM SHELBY

Chris Sorenson has returned from
a trip to Shelby, Kelvin and Sunburst
where he looked the business situa-
ton over, but was not favorably i'm
pressed. Opportunities to invest in
property are plenty but he did not
improve any of them. There is plenty
of talk about the big Dempsey-Gib-
bons fight that is being promoted for
July 4th and the Shelby people are
sure it will come off. At Sunburst
Mr.. Sorenson saw Erwin Schrieber
who is running a lumber yard, and
at Shelby saw Frank Phillens. Chris
thinks Wolf Point is due for a much
more substantial development move
ment than the Toole county boom
represents.

PLAN OF THE new
FARM CREDITS ACT
Continued from Page One)

farmers notes which the banks have
taken. These may be sold to people
wishing a safe investment. They are
exempt from taxation, the same as
bonds issued by the federal loan
banks. Interest charged by credit
banks may not exceed more than one
per cent interest paid on debentures
issued, and the farmer who borrows
must not be charged an interest rate
over one and one-half per cent the
rate charged the intermediate credit
bank.
Secretary Wallace is of the opinion
that it will not be long until the
benefits will be apparent and the far
mer will find that he can brow needed
capital for a period of up to three
years without having to pay unduly
high interest rates, without having to
renew his notes every three or six
months, and without being n danger
of having to sacrifice his crops and
livestock because of a sudden fnan-
cial furry.
The second division of the act auth
orizes the organization, under a fed
eral charter, of national agricultural
credit corporations, by private capt.
tai. They will be under the supervi-
sion of the comptroller of the cur
rency, as are all national banking
institutions, and must have a capital
stock of at least $3.50, 900. They
may issue collateral trust debentures
up to 10 times their capital and sur
plus. 1t is expected that such corpor-
ations will be organized in large num-
bers in such states as Montana, where
the livestock industry plays a large
part in the business life of the com
munity, and where cattle companies
are in operation.
Previously the most that might be
loaned one person by the federal loan
banks has been $4,000. This has
been increased to $4,000. The pur-
pose for which mortgage loans may
be made has been broadened to in
clude the payment of any indebted
ness.
Secretary Wallace says the agri-
cultural credits act Of 1923 is one of
the most important acts passed by the
last congress. at marke an earnest
effort to provide the farmer with the
sort Of credit necessary to carry on
efficiently. 1t is not a class l~egisla-
ton. The results will be helpful to
business in general because the effect
will be to establish agricultural pro
duction and marketing"
The credits act as passed is the re-
of the fusion of the Anderson
Lenroot and the Capper bills. The
former, from which the idea of the
intermediate credit banks was taken.
was drawn after an exhaustive survey
of farm conditions made by a Joint
and house commission headed
by Congressman Anderson of Mime
sofa.

Helena-Poplar Game
Helena eliminated Poplar this a..
ternoon by defeating them ~ 70 {
in a rough game. The Indians from
the northern part of the state blew
up rather badly in the first half, CIV
ing Helena a lead of Fl points. lne
defense of the Poplar team was much
like a sieve, with the Helena team
taking advantage to go through ana
shoot. The Poplar team got but lew
shots at the basket and these were
long ones.
Poplar came back in the second
half and played Helena on practically
even terms. Hayne, for Poplar, was
able to locate the basket and scored
two of his famous ringers from the
of the floor.

STORM DEALS DEATH

WIDESPREAD LIFE AND PROP

WIND AND SNOW

The storm period of the early part
of the week brought nothing worse
than an overcast sky and furries of
snow to this section but the central
portion of the United States was Wis
led by disturbances seldom equaled
for sudden severity and ~far-reaching
destructiveness. Telegraphic reports
in daily newspapers say death, injury
and damage were the harvest of fur
ious storms which swept many sec
lions of the region between the Rocky
Mountains and the Appalachians.
Early reports with wire communi-
cations severely crippled showed near
~ 80 persons dead, many more in
jured and probably hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of damage in many
states.
South Hard Hit
Available reports before noon on
Monday indicated that a score of per-
sons, many of them negroes, were
killed in the storm which rushed
through Pinson, Tenn, wrecking dwell
lings and other buildings.
Three persons were killed in a cy-
clonic storm near Richmond, KY.
One boy was killed and five others
severely injured when a school build
ing was unroofed at South Ports
mouth, KY.
A man fell dead in Milwaukee, due,
it was believed, to exhaustion from
his physical battle with the elements
on his way to work.
Trains generally were hours late
in the storm-affected centers of IL
.linois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee.

The worst effects of the storm, a

by a high wind that reach

some localities, were felt in Pinson,
where the death toll was II
and the injured totalled between SO

Those little towns virtually were
demolished and Tuesday a contingent
Red Cross workers were on their
way there to relieve the suffering of
injured and homeless.
In Ohio two persons were reported
killed, one at Massilon and one at
Steubenville. Scores were injured.
Public utilities companies of Mich
lgan were reported to have suffered
damages to amount to about a million
and a half dollars. Wire companies
at Grand Rapids said the storm in the
western part of the state caused a
