MANY SEED loan
REQUESTS FILED
HERE This week
Preparing for Battle
with Elements, Activity
Shows

Signs of spring In a drouth-strick-
en- area are evident in Plentywood
this week with experienced clerks
making an effort to fll out seed and
fuel loan applications for farmers
who, within the next few weeks,
will be in the fields to wage another
gamble with nature.
At the Plentywood office of Ar
mold Horgan. field supervisor OF the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
section of the Farm Credit admin
istration and under which the loans
are being handled, it was stated
Monday that 40 applications were
handled that day.
At various Plentywood offices
where experienced hands in filling
out applications a be found, there
has been much activity this week.
Typewriters and application hand
lers are almost at a premium and an
effort is being made to expedite the
work as quickly as possible.
IlolH lhC hOou VI oPPiiSoeAoh0 ~
far received it is firmly established
that without the aid of loans Sheri-
dan county would have felt itself
wanting when seeding time arrived.
Checks are expected to arrive
quickly. and from present indica-
tons they should be in the hands
OF farmers in ample time before
seeding and farming operations get
under way.
Loans are limited to the farmers
immediate needs for growing his
1927 crop and cannot exceed $500.
Il Sheridan county's hardy lot OF
farmers next week will plunge to the
task of getting machinery in shape
and farms will buzz with general
preparatory activity. The next so
days will be busy ones on Sheridan
county farms.

tie and horse buyer of Sheridan
county charged with grand larceny,
has been granted by Judge c. B.
Dlwell of Havre, who heard the mat
ter argued by attorneys at a session
in Wolf Point early in February.

FridaQ.

brought against Marsh by a Roose-
welt county jury in December for
alleged implication In a horse theft.
The Roosevelt county jury brought
in wholesale verdicts of guilty
against all who were tried, with but
one exception, and the case against
that defendant was dropped.
Judge Elwell denied the right of
a new trial for Akers, against whom
a guilty verdict was rendered at the
Wolf Point court hearing which at
tracted. considerable attention in the
state of Montana.
Howard M. Lewis, attorney for
Marsh at the Wolf Point trial who
appeared for him before Judge Ell
well, entered the contention that the

part OF Marsr. Hugh s. Marion,
Wolf Point attorney, hired as spe-
cial prosecutor for the state at the

fore Ewell.

SCHOOL PUPILS
Season Has Arrived For Mo
torists To Use the Ut
most Care
CAREFUL AT CROSSINGS

On the eve of the Fall school
term motorists are urged by the
Delaware Automobile Association
to the movement for the protection
of school children. Linnaeus l..
Hopes, Executive Secretary of the
Association, points out that many
dangers confront children return-
ing to school after the summer va
cation, and emphasizes the respcn-
sibility of motorists in safeguard
ing the lives of pupils. "A factor
having important bearing on the
problem of child safety" he said,
"is the appearance on the streets
of thousands of youngsters attend
ing school for the first time. These
children have not had the benefit
of safety instruction in the class
rooms, and in their behalf we ap-
peal particularly to motorists. To
a very great extent, the safety of
first-year pupils will depend upon
the care with which motor vehic-
les are operated, not only in the
vicinity of schools, but on all
streets where children are walking
on their way to and from their
classrooms. All drivers are strong
ly urged to use the utmost caution
where children are crossing streets.
No one can foretel when child
is going to rush forward from a
group into the path of moving We
hicles. Because of this uncertain
ty the duty devolves upon the mo-
torists to have his car under such
control that he can stop at a NOM
ent's notice. Safe drivers never
take chances where children are
concerned"
