RED CROSS FUNDS
COME IN SLOWLY
Chairman YergeY Appeals
For Quick Action To
Rdise County Quota

The response to the Red Cross
appeal for funds for war relief
in Europe is disappointment
slow in Big Horn county, Stan
ley A. Yergey, local chairman
stated today.
While no reports have been
received from outlying districts,
only 1921 has been given in
Hardin and vicinity. This in
cludes contributions by mail.
The first quota was $3.50, so Big
Horn county's response to this
initial call resulted in about 80
per cent of the sum asked.
Because of the pressing need
of the many millions of suffer-
ers in war-torn Europe, the Am
erican Red Cross doubled quotas
of all chapters in the United
States, bringing Big Horn coun-
tvs minimum up to $500. and
that of the country at large to
twenty million dollars, instead
of the ten million originally re-
quested. This means that Big
Horn county has raised only 40
per cent Of its quota. -.
The need for relief cover
there" is so urgent and immed-
late that all over the nation the
Red Cross Is urging that the
increased total be reached as
quickly as possible, certainly by
June 80, Mr.. Yergey said. He
pointed out that every days de-
lay in sending help adds to the
horror of the situation and the
probable loss of life.
1T is unthinkable that the
people of Big Horn county will
not heed the call of these un-
fortunate ones and speedily
rush help to Them" Mr.. Yergey
declared, land I am confident
that our increased quota-and
much more-will be Immediate
ly raised. Certainly it will be if
everyone will realize that no
one IS calling on him personally
to solicit the contributions, but
that the money may be taken
or sent to the Red Cross office
or to the places designated.
"The time to help is now"
Chairman Yergey emphasized.
"Will you not take a moment
to compare your situation with
theirs? Surely that will be all
chat is necessary to cause you
to send your contribution at
once"
Depositories for war relief
funds are as follows:
Hardin - Red Cross office
(Mr. Yergey's office, First Ma
tional bank, Big Horn County
bank, Hardin Tribune-Herald,
Sibley Drug store.
Lodge Grass - Zimmerman,s
garage, Adams Drug store.
Wyola - Little Horn State
bank, Chapman'S store.
Crow Agency - Henry Small
store, Joseph Keeler store.
st. Xavier - Keough and
Lobdell store.
Kirby - Charles Foley store.
Released this week was the
List of names on the honor roll
for war relief. This includes
those who had sent in their con-
tributions up to Wednesday
night. Those who have given
to the fund include:
Fred Jacoby, w. E. Warren,
F. M. Lipp, Gracia Dillon, w. H.
Kelley, Irene Wolf, Gust Rein

Announce 1910
Wheat Loom Rutes

A wheat-loan program on the
1910 crop was announced re-
Gently by the Department of
Agriculture, and loan rates are
to the same as they were in
ma last year, according to
Miller, chairman of the
g Horn County Agricultural
Conservation committee.
The only adjustments" Mr..
Miller said, twill be due to
freight rate changes, if any,
and these will be available at
the county conservation office
as soon as they have been cal
culated."
MI. Miller added that the
loan announcement followed a
week of sharp decline in wheat
prices, and Department of Ag-
r1culture officials indicated that
the average farm loan rate
would be "a cents a bushel. BY
adding the 1910 conservation
and parity payments of 10 cents.
wheat farmers are assured of
an average return of at least
SO cents a bushel on their
wheat crop at the farm.
Loans, he continued, will be
made by the Commodity Credit
Corporation to wheat producers
who are in compliance with
their acreage allotments under
the 1910 AAA program. Pro-
ducers who are eligible for loans
will be certified by the county
committee. The committee will
have charge of the administra-
ton of the loan program.
The 1910 loan is the third Of
fered under the AAA as a part
of the program designed to pro-
vide an orderly, adequate and
balanced flow of wheat, Mr..
Miller said. BY enabling farm
ers to store their wheat at har-
vest time, wheat loans give
farmers great freedom in mar
keting.
This year." his statement
went on, "loans will be offered
on both farm-stored rye and
barley produced in 1910. Fur
ther details concerning these
loans may be obtained at thu
county conservation office"

Tries Election
Contest Case

The action of j. w. Carper VS..
Conrad Beck to contest the ell
ection of Beck to the office of
drain commissioner of the VAL
ley Center Drain district was
heard Thursday before District
Judge Ben HARDWOOD.

titled to hold the office.
Judge HARDWOOD took the mat
ter under advisement and will
render judgement at a later
date.
