BANKERS ASKING
| SPECIAL SESSION
Fargo Conference Joins in Plea
for Emergency Aid to
Grain Farmers.

Fargo-President Coolidge was
urged to call special session of Con-
gress for the purpose of establishing
governmental agency, with work
ing capital of SO million dollars, to
market the wheat crop by the confer
ence of bankers of the Ninth Federal
Reserve district here.
The demand is practically for a re-
viyal of the United States Grain cor
poration, although the bankers did not
specify that the same corporation be
revived.
More than 200 bankers and almost
an equal number of farmers and bust
ness men attended the conference.
The bankers also adopted plan to
provide storage for the farmers in or
der that they may withhold their
wheat from the market until the price
assures a fair return.
Two sets of resolutions were adopt
ed, the first dealing solely with the
special session of Congress and the
aid asked by the farmers, and the Sec
Ond dealing with diversified farming,
reduction of wheat acreage, tariff
schedules, and completion of the st.

LEGION SEEKS MISSING MAN
Mother Appeals to Organization to
Help Locate Her Son, Boyd
Martin Mcclure.

Diligent search is being made for
Boyd Martin Mcclure, a World war
veteran, who formerly served in the
One Hundred and Twenty eighth, One
Hundred and Thirtieth and Four Hun
dred and SEVENTEEN aero squadrons,
until December, 1918. To the efforts
of the various civil organizations, gov
services in the quest for the missing
man.
Mcclure, whose mother resides in
Mckenzie, Tenn, enlisted in the army
in Great Falls, Mont, in August, 1917.
Prior to that time he had been en-
ployed by the Great Northern railway
as a fireman. He reached England
while in the service, but was returned
and discharged, leaving for the West
According to reports made by investi-
gators, he worked for the Great North
ern after his return. He is said to
have lost his personal effects in fire
which destroyed a railroad hotel in
Fargo, n. D., among which was his
army discharge, which had previously
been sent to him by his mother.
In May, 1922, he made application
to the executive secretary of the Red
Cross in Billings, Mont, for a certifi-
cate of discharge in lieu of the lost
original. Further trace of the M
was found at the Salvation Army head
quarters in that city, where Mcclure
was guest about this time, but the
man disappeared in June, 1922. No
trace has been found since that time,
though it is believed that he may be at
work in the DakOtas or Montana.
McClure's mother is said to be in
need of help at her home in Tennessee
and seeks the assistance of the Ameri-
can Legion in locating her son, though
she fears he is dead or a patient in
some hospital, because of an illness
which followed an attack of influenza
while in service.
At the time of enlistment the man
was twenty-five years of age. He was
six feet in height, weighed about 146
pounds, had brown eyes, brown hair,
fair complexion, upper teeth slightly
protruding. Any member of the Legion
or other person in possession of infor-
nation concerning this man should adj
dress Mrs. U. G. Mcclure, Mckenzie,
