HUNDREDS OF LOANS WILL BE AFFECTED Decision Awarding LaMoure Farmer $500 Ed Byrne Awarded Sum When Mortgage Is Foreclosed at Its Full Value Arguments in a case affecting loans in the United States will be heard by the North Dakota supreme court preme court by the Federal Land bank of St. Paul and the Nortonville Farm Loan association of Nortonville, N. D., who appealed from a decision given in Stutsman county district court by Judge Fred Jansonius, Bis- marck. Although the action involves but $500, it is in the nature of a test case which will affect thousands of loans foreclosed by land banks operating under the federal farm loan act. Ed Byrne of La Moure county brought the original action and sub- sequently a verdict in his favor was returned by Judge Jansonius last February. The district court held that on foreclosure of a mortgage and the bidding in of the land by the bank for the amount due as a full payment of the loan, the borrower 1s entitled to a refund of the amount subscribed by him for stock. Byrne secured a loan of $10,000 from the Federal Land bank of St. Paul through the Nortonville National Farm Loan association and secured the loan on a half section of land in La Moure county. He received $9,500 and $500 in stock in the Nortonville National Farm Loan association, and the association received an equal amount of stock in the Federal Land bank of St. Paul. This stock was kept by the Federal Land bank as ad- ditional security. Mortgage Is Forcclosed On default in the conditions of the BY COURT DECISION! Banks Oppose District Court: MIGHT GO TO U. S.

Byrne alleged the Federal Land bank cancelled his stock in the local association without refunding the money paid for the stock. Byrne contended he was entitled to a refund of the $500 paid for the stock, and when the land bank refused he brought suit. Judge Jansonius held that although the mortgage was sold at foreclosure and bid in for the full amount due on the mortgage, Byrne was in the same position as if he had paid the mortgage and was entitled to a re- turn of the money paid for stock. Demurrers were interposed by the Federal Land bank and the Norton- ville association on the ground that the complaint did not state facts suf- ficient to constitute a cause of ac- tion; that several causes of action have been improperly united; and that there was a misjoiner of parties defendant. Demurrers Overruled Judge Jansonius overruled the de- murters and judgment was entered for Byrne, and an apeal was taken by the defendants to the supreme court alleging error. I. P. Whitehead, Baltimore, repre- senting the 12 land banks in the country, will appear before the su- preme court as a friend of the court in the interests of the various land banks. The Federal Land bank of St. Paul will be represented separascly by counsel from Washington, while M. C. Freerks, Jamestown, is counsel for Byrne. ‘The case will be one of the most important to come before the state supreme court, because of the far- reaching effect of the final decision. Should the court sustain Judge Jan- sonius’ decision, indications are the land banks will appeal to the United States supreme court. Arguments before Judge Jansonius brought out that there has not been) any judicial construction of the sec-| tion of the federal farm loan act in- volved in the action. Byrne claimed he could recover his $500 stock under provisions of Sec- tion 4 of the action, which reads in Petzach borrower through such branch bank shall subscribe and pay for stock in the Federal Land bank with which it is connected in the sum of $5 for each $100 or fraction thereor eorrowed; such stock shall be held py such Federal Land bank as collateral security for the loan of the borzower; shall participate in all dividends; and upon full payment of the loan shall be cancelled at par and proceeds paid to borrower, or the borrower may ap- STICKERS } «Inthe abe sangeet of checks, ‘no more than two appear om any perpen- ‘dicular, horizontal or regular diagonal | was not paid, but it was sold at fore- back the value of the stock; and it! also is provided that only borrowers may be members or shareholders of a! National Farm Loan association. “My construction of the law is that @ person ceases to be a member of a loan association when he is no longer a borrower, and it seems to me there | can be no question but that a person paying his loan in cash is entitled to a return of the money for his stock. The law says it shall be paid off and retired on full payment of the mort- gage loan. “In the instant case the mortgage closure, and bid in for the full amount due on the mortgage. On the day the sheriff's deed was issued, plaintiff au- tomatically ceased to be a member of the Farm Loan association. The amount of tire stock was not necessar- ily to pay a deficiency as the land on the sale brought the full amount that was due on the mortgage, and it seems to me that the plaintiff was in the same position as if he had paid the mortgai The Federzl Land bank of St. Paul, in its brief filed with the supreme court, states that congress intended the stock of the bank owned by the association to stand as security for the general debts of the association and as a protective fund of the bond- holders. Deny Agency Exists “No agency exists,” the brief con- tinues, “between the land bank and the association and therefore al- though the plaintiff claims he has a cause of Action against the associa- tion he is not entitled to proceed against the Federal Land bank on the | theory that the bank is the principal | and the association the agent. “The fact that the association owns stock in the Federal Land bank, and the plaintiff owns stocks in the as- sociation Joes not make him a stock- | holder in the Federal Land bank, nor does it give him the rights of such a stockholder. A stockholder in a cor- Poration which owns all of the stock of another corporation is not a stock- holder in the latter.” Mr. Freerks in his briefs calls at- tenti¢n that the decision of the su- Preme court will have a far-reaching effect, in view of the fact that before the litigation was begun, the Federal Land bank, ir foreclosing mortgages, invariably bid in the property for the full amount of the mortgage. “Had they known what they know now,” he continued, “they undoubted- ly would have bid in the property for enough less sc that there would have been a deficiency in each case equal to the stockholdings of the borrower; and then the borrower could not have asserted any claim for his collateral. Thousands of Claims “As it now stands, there are thou- sands of tnese claims. This ought not, however, influence the decision in this case one bit, one way or the ler. “The cold proposition 1s: That on the face of this record, the plaintiff borrowed $10,000 from this bank, and secured his loan by a first mortgage upon 480 acres of well improved land, appraised at the time of the taking of the loan, by the officers and agen- cles of the federal loan system, as worth, at least, double the amount of this loan; the bank elected to pur- chase this property for the full amount of the claim. It had received its regular semi-annual payments for @ number of years, Under the law the plaintiff paid the bank 100 cents) on the dollar for the entire $10,000 and interest on that sum while he had it. Plaintiff however received only $9,500—the other $500 was used to pay. for the stock here in question.

If the next opponent passes, the original bidder is required to bid again. The original bidder is only required to keep the bidding open once. Remember this differs from all oth- er forcing bids that require the bid- ding to be kept open until game 1s ar- rived at. What you are really doing is this: Partner, we will say, bids one diamond and you overcall with one heart. You say to partner, “I have at least one and one-half quick tricks and a biddable heart suit. With four quick tricks in the two hands we should be able to make at least two odd, therefore keep the bidding open at least once and give me a more; complete picture of your hand.” The advantages of the One Over One are many, the most important of which are: 1—It allows you to arrive at larger Partial scores. 2—It quickly and safely gets you into successful no trump contracts. It is quite natural if the original bid- der opens with a suit bid of one that he has that suit well protected and Probably a second suit. When part- ner makes a One Over One, he an- nounces another suit well protected and in the majority of cases some aide strength, | Now it naturally follows that if partner has no support for the suit named by the original bidder and the original bidder has no support for the suit named by partner, that only one of two things is possible—either they should play the hand in the second suit which will be named by one or the other, or if their side strength is in different suits, then the proper declaration is no trump. 3—As the One Over Ona can be used with power house hands as safe- ly as it can with minimum hands, due to the fact that partner is forced to keep the bidding open, it is a tre- mendous weapon against the oppon- ents. Under the ordinary system of contract bidding, the original bidder might open with one club. If partner overcalled with one heart he would be announcing a weak hand—one not strong enough to jump to two hearts, but when the One Over One conven- tion is being used, a bid of one heart over one club might signify a mini- mum opposite a minimum, or it might be two power house hands. The left hand opponent of the play- er who has :nade the One Over One bid is afraid to step in with a fair hand for fear that he will be between these two power house hands. It ts not until the second round of bidding that he knows whether or not the two hands are ininimum, and then it is generally too late for him to bid as his partner will naturally take ‘his bid after a pass as a very weak one. 4—Doubtful slams will not be bid due to the fact that the full strength of the hand can be shown before the bidding gets too high. A jump shift bid may even be made on the second round and still not force the contract, into the slam zone.

D., June 1.—Three years of age is a bit early in life to establish one's self as a life saver. But Jimmy Moomaw, three-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs, Leroy Moo- maw at the Dickinson experiment sta- tion, can claim the distinction. For Jimiay saved his two-year-old brother Johnny from certain drown- ing when he pulled him from a wa- ter-filled evaporating tank into which he had fallen. In a manner peculiar only to small boys, Jimmy and Johnny succeeded in finding their way through a gate, always tightly locked, which leads to the forbidden vicinity of the tank. Playful, enjoying their adventure, the boys splashed the water. Johnny fell in and promptly sank, but before he could go down again Jimmy had a hold upon him and pulled him out. 150 Courses Offered At U Summer Session Grand Forks, N.
