Student Loan
Funds Created
BY Many Clubs

Minot, N. D.. Oct. 1O.-A check
up of state declarations during the
past year reveals that only one
state has not some sort of student
loan help system, and in nine cases
out Of every 10 they follow much
the same plan as the North Da-
kota Federation of Women's clubs,
with exceptions that are worth
while considering, stated Mrs. E.
w. Cunningham of Devils Lake,
stae chairman of the Scholarship
Loan commission, in her report to
the convention this morning. The
commission has been aided the
past year by Mrs. w. A. Mcintyre
of Grand Forks, state treasurer;
Mrs. Lyman N. Cary, state pres
ident, and Mrs. f. O. Dickinson of
this city who has been recognized
by the federation as an expert on
student loan affairs.
The missionaries which were
sent to the various declarations re-
vealed that they were carrying loan
funds which amounted to at least
81 900 in every state and as high
at $4,000; that applicants must
sign note in nearly every case;
that these notes do not bear inter-
est until at least two years after
student has left school; that the
notes require endorsements; that
the funds are raised through vol
untary levy and gifts; that loans
are made for all gainful occupa-

Fine Cattle
Shipped Into
Nelson County

Lakota, N. D., Oct. 1O.-Thirty-
two purebred Holstein cattle, most.
ly young females, were delivered
to farmers in this vicinity here
through the initiative of the Agri-
cultural Credit corporation. The
herd is said to be one Of the finest
ever received in North Dakota, and
was purchased from the Hall Es-
tate at Mentor, Minnesota. Most
of the animals are granddaughters
and grandsons of sir Peter Orms-
by Mercedes, famous $65, 900 bull.
The trend toward Investigation
in Nelson county has received a
considerable impetus from the ef-
fcrts of the Agricultural Credit
Corporation this fall. Another
shipment of Holsteins, Jerseys, and
Guernseys from Wisconsin is ex-
pected in about two weeks, while
1000 sheep are being shipped in
from Montana, and are expected to
arrive late next week. A ship
ment of 60 milking Shorthorns has
also been ordered and will arrive

TRUTHFUL RADIO
AMATEURS TO BE
GIVEN HONORS

Chicago, Oct. 1O.-Another in
novation in the radio world will be
launched Oct. IA, when score of
the leading broadcasting stations
of the United States and Canada
will begin the issue Of engraved
stamps, each bearing the sur
charge of the individual STATEN, to
listeners who submit reasonable
proof they actually heard sta
Items program.
1t is planned to give radio fans
another sport in stamp collecting
as we'll as make bona fide the re-
ports OF long distance radio recep-
ton. The idea, conceived by
Towner X. Webster, brother of
the novelist, has been adopted by
stations in virtually all the larger
cities Of the country and later is
expected to be universally in
vogue.
The stamps bear upon their face
a picture OF an eagle standing be-
tween two aerial towers of a radio
casting station, the che emblematic
of the king Of the air and other
signifying the king of the ether.
Below the pictured design of the
two kings are the station call let
ters and in the corners are the
letters E X K O, selected to iden-
tify the stamps from spurious is
sues which might be put out.
An album has been prepared for
the stamps, with pages arranged
by states and provinces. For the
luckier fans is page for stamps
fer the more powerful foreign sta
tons which are occasionally heard
in America. The stations having
the greatest amount of power are
listed in the upper lefthand cor
ner, and those with lesser power
range to the right and on lines be-
low.
In addition to the regular sta
ton stamps it is also proposed that
commemorative stamps be issued
for special events which are broad
cast. such as the inaugural address

URGE CARE BY
AUTO OWNERS
Can Help in Fire Prevention.
Says A. of &. Bulletin

AS warning to motorists the
Bismarck, N. d., Association of
Commerce today issued state
ment reminding them that they can
best observe Fire Prevention Week
by keeping as far away from fires
as possible.
Curiosity" says the statement,
"impels may drivers to trail the
fire engines or, sometimes, to beat
them to the scene of the fire. This
is not only dangerous to the motor
lists but renders the tasks of the
firemen more difficult. In many
cities collisions have occurred be-
tween fire trucks and automobiles
whose drivers tried to get to the
fire first.
1.-THE firemen may be relied upon
to do their best to eXtinguish fire
as quickly as possible. Every sec
ond counts. Frequently many sec
onds are lost because of the cur
ious motorists crowd ing the
streets. The Insurance Depart
ment of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States has called our
attention to recent large fire in
Washington at which the Chief of
the Fire Department was forced to
leave his car three blocks from
the burning building because of
the people and automobiles that
blocked his way.
'The duty of motorists is OBJ
vious. When you hear the warn
ing from the fire trucks draw up
to the curb and let them pass.
Don't trail the trucks. Don't go
to the fire. Keep away from it
and give the firemen a clear field.
No one knows whether the fire
will be confined to one building or
cover the entire block. In either
case you will be in the way. In
many cases the extent of the loss
will depend largely upon your CO.
operation. And it might be your
building that is threatened or is
burning"
