CLAY COUNTY BANKS
STOP "ONE-CROP" LOANS

The banks in the western district Of
Clay county, following the lead Of
banks in many other sections of the
state, have adopted resolutions refus-
ing financial backing to the "one-crop"
farmer. Their declaration is as fol-
lows:
We want to help the farmer-if he
will try to help himself.
The sO-called One-crOp system pre-
vailing in this section, and to a large
extent throughout the Southland, has
proved disastrous failure to the farm
ers practicing it, and stands convicted
and condemned at the bar of public
opinion by the progressive leadership
of the agricultural interests; and the
practicing of such system has fostered
and encouraged the accumulation of
overlapping debts from year to year
and wrought financial bankruptcy to
large numbers Of our farmers and en-
barrassment and loss to the banks and
commercial institutions that have ad-
yanced credit for the production of
crops under such system.
We believe that emancipation from
bondage of the "One-crop" system is our
portion if we refuse to aid, support or
finance by extending credit to such
system.
1t is hereby declared by the officers
of this bank that it is and shall be the
policy Of this bank hencefOrth, after
the year 1926, to make no loans and
extend no credits upon crops to be pro-
duced in the future unless the farmers,
applying for such credit, shall have
produced and have on hand sufficient
feed and seed products with which to
make such crop
You have this year to adjust your
selves, and remember-If you do not
have your feed and seed for 1927 and
each year thereafter, do not ask us for
money to make a crop.
Start now to live at home and save
yourselves, as well as us, the embar-
rassment of refusing credit for 1927.
The resolution was signed by the
First National Bank and the Corning
Bank and Trust Co. of Corning; the
State Bank and the Bank of Success
at Success; the Bank of Datto; the
Peoples Bank at Peach Orchard and
the Bank of Knobel at Knobel.

OBITUARY
MRS. EMOGENE LECTRA

The Poplar Standard of last
week carried the following article
about the death of Mrs. Emogene
Lectra. Mrs. Lectra owned a
homestead 8 miles south of Wolf
Point and was we'll known among
the Southside residents, news of
her death coming as a great
shock to them.
at has been learned here,
through a letter from their
daughter to Mr.. and Mrs. H. c..
Walker, that Mrs. Emogene
Lectra, a former Poplar teacher,
died the latter part of October in
a Miles City hospital. Burial was
made in Miles City November ).
Mrs. Lectra taught here a num-
Der Of years ago, before the pres
ent school house had been built.
She was a member of the Eastern
Star and served one term as
Worthy Matron of the local lodge.
All of the earlier residents knew
her we'll and remember her as al
capable and admirable woman.
"After leaving Poplar Mrs.
Lectra went to Sidney, and later
was county superintendent of
schools in Richlamd county for
some years. At the time of her
death she was teaching near Miles
City. Death is understood to have
been the result of sickness caused
by exposure, the manner being
unknown.
"She leaves a son, Bailey
Mower. who also taught here at
the same time she did, and is now
near Miles City.
"Many local friends will deep
ly regret her passing"
