Libby Youth To
Be Entertained
BY Movie Star
Lamar Rowland Wins in National
Contest and Gets Trip to
Hollywood.

Lamar Rowland, popular Libby high
school junior and son of Senator and
Mrs. M D. Rowland, has been declared
winner in national poem writing con-
test. And thereby hangs quite a tale.
The prize Lamar wins by his ability
in poetry is trip to Hollywood, that
mecca of SO many young people, and
two weeks entertainment there with
all expenses paid. While there he will
be given Photographic tests and
possibly chance to play minor part
in some movie. While in Hollywood he
will be the guest of James Cagney,
well known movie actor.
Here is how it all happened. III
Some two months ago while Lamar
was confined to his home with illness,
he read an advertisement in maya
zine offering the free trip and enter
tainment to the one who would write
the best poem on Cagney, the actor.
Lamar wrote his poem, mailed it, and
then left the affair in the hands of the
gods.
Wednesday,, morning he received
telegram from Cagney stating he had
been declared winner in the national
contest and asked for an air mail let
ter telling if his parents would consent
to the trip. Lamar had the letter going
back by the first mail and is now wait
ing final instructions.

Heavy Batting
Features Game
With Boomers Ferry
Libby Victors After Wild Time o
Batting and Base Running
Score q to IL.

One of the widest games of base
ball played in Libby for long time
was that of last Sunday, when the local
team batted out 20 runs to Is for the
visitors from Boomers Ferry. And that
tells only half the story.
AT the end of the first two innings
it looked like the natives were going
to be slaughtered. Mccarthy, hurting
for Libby, could not fool the visitors
and they landed on him for eight runs
in the two frames, with blanks for Lib
by. However, shortly thereafter Patt
was substituted and held the visitors
to few hits and few runs up to the
eighth inning when he weakened, and
voluntarily retired in favor of Roberts,
who continued the good work.
Corbett, on the mound for Bonners,
held the locals with a brand Of pitch
ing that blanked them in the first no
innings and allowed them only one
score in the fourth inning. But in the
fifth inning he began to weaken, Lib
by's heavy field artillery moved into
action and the inning closed only af-
ter five Libby runners had crossed
home plate. After that it was an awful
slaughter for Libby. Bonners tried out
two other pitchers but they were easy
for the locals seven runs being gar
nered in the sixth inning, four runs in
the seventh, and two runs in the
eighth
The Libby team will travel to Bon
ners next Sunday for a return game.
Following is the score by innings:
Libby ..........0 0 / 3 S 7 4 Q O-22
Boomers Ferry % 0 3 / 0 0 / 0-13

Gives Data
As To Federal
Farm Loans
Full Information Given
Farmers Regarding Pro
cedure to Follow.
APPROPRIATES HUGE
SUM FOR LOANS

BOHEMIAN, May 29-Information as
to loans for the adjustment of Mon
tana farm mortgages can be obtained
from ]. A. Scotland, farm loan COM
missioner of the 18th Federal Land
Bank district at Spokane, Washington.
Mr.. Scotland is the official representa-
tive of this district of the Farm Credit
Administration which is the new or
ganization headed by its governor,
Henry Morgenthau, Jr. This national
organization came into being May 27
when all the various government farm
credit agencies were merged
AS explained by j. c. Taylor, direc-
tor Montana Extension Service. Gov
ernor Morgenthau has $2O0.O0O 900
which he can loan to farmers for re-
financing farm indebtedness, to pro-
vide working capital for farm opera
tons and to aid in the redemption of
foreclosed farms. The limit which any
one farmer may borrow is 5000. Con-
gress set this lint and also the kind
of collateral acceptable.
Because first mortgage needs will
largely be taken care of by existing
agencies like the Federal Lark Banks
insurance and mortgage companies, the
bulk of the $500, 100000 will be used
to refinance second mortgages and
other debts of the farmer which have
accrued in recent years
The amount loaned. added to the
sum of all prior mortgages or other
evidences of Indebtedness secured by
the farm property, can not exceed rs
percent OF the farms value as appraised
under the terms of the Federal Farm
Loan Act
Loans are secured by second mort
cages repayable over a series of years
and it IS required that the first mort
gage holder agree not to proceed /
against the farmer for default in pay
ment on the principal When the first
mortgage and the commissioner loan
do not exceed 5000 the holder Of the
first mortgage must agree that during
period of three years he will not
proceed against the farmer and the
mortgaged property for default in
payment of principal unless in the
meantime the commissioner consents
in writing. Where the loan and first
mortgage exceeds 5000 the first mort
gage holder must agree not to pro-
coed for five years unless given con-
sent by the commissioner.
Director Taylor suggests that farm
ers with second mortgages against their
farms, who desire to get aid from the
Farm Loan Commissioner, get in touch
with their creditors. If creditors will
curtail the amount due on
loans, forego interest payments for
period or decrease the rate. loans from
the commissioner will be obtained that
much easier. Farmers with conserva-
tive first mortgages on their property
should be in the best position to quail
fy for loans.

taxes go delinquent was proven Tues

received a check from the company
for the last half of its 1882 taxes. The
check was for S70,24441 That is a tidy

Is love OF country and it seems to me-
that reasonable and genuine patriot

and honor for all nations
The Rev. Crater was the speaker Of
the day at the Memorial exercises. In
his opening remarks he stressed the

stock OF matters that affect the ma

ready to sacrifice life itself in de-
Tense of the liberties we enioy TO-DAY
he regretted the need for national econ

the cutting down of compensation to
those veterans who need it most Hn
recalled the service these veterans had
performed in helping to crush nation

briefly the sufferings of the wounded

That the American Legion is an or
