MYwnoLt CRO P 1S WAITING QUT SI1DE AT YOUR DISPOSAL SORRY BuY 'y Arluw PLL NAVE YO PLACE A SMALL . TA% ON VOUR I NCOME Fargo, North Dakota, has come to the front again in the amateur cartoon . contest. This week Walter B. Adams, 724 Ninth street north, Fargo, takes the dollar for the best drawing. Walter writes that he is 14 years old and has ambitions to become a “regular” cartoonist when he grows up. * Well, he is making a good start, don’t you think? He pictures the farmer telling Uncle Sam that farmer’s whole crop is ready to help win the war. the American housewife telling Uncle Sam how she is economizing on the food Mr. Hoover wants to save. But finally— and this is the point—he shows that everybody is not co-operating in this way. In fact, the war profiteer is running away when Uncle Sam wants to put a fair price on his products and to collect a fair war profits tax. The Leader gives a dollar for every cartoon accepted in this contest. Car toons submitted must be on white, unlined paper, in black ink and drawn on a large scale. We will reduce them to proper size in reproducing them. Thou- sands of boys and girls are sending us drawings. We can not undertake to answer questions about the contest or return unused cartoons. It would be too big a job. But we promise to consider each offering carefully and to print one each week. Under the original plan, the contest was to have been dropped be- fore this, but interest is so great in it that we decided to continue the feature indefinitely. League Wires to U.

Townley, president, tele- graphed members of the Unit- ed States senate last week, urging the passage of the legislation wanted by the federal farm loan banks, in order to place the banks on a firm financial foundation. Due to the fact that the big bond selling corporations of the country have refused to sell the securities of the federal farm loan banks, farmers who have asked for nearly a hundred million dollars in loAns, are threatened with fore- closures, or will be forced back into ! the clutches of money lenders who charge, in some instances, twice the interest that the federal la.nd banks charge. .The Leader recently exposed the plot hatched against the federal farm loan banks, and, as a result, congress has been deluged with communications from farmers “and farmers’ organiza- tions, asking that the bills wanted by - the farm loan banks be passed. The lower house at Washington, D. C. passed the needed' legislation, but' the senate amended the bill to make it use- “less’ as’‘a measure of relief ‘to the farmers. The' senate listened to the arguments. of - the money - lenders, whose business the federal banks are taking away.... The senate. however, will have: to .our success in war. relief is.urgent, to the mation as well - ‘ag the ‘Western and Southern farmer.’ The tarmers are watching this bill. " : All they ask is a square deah We Te: | reconsider the matter, due to the pro- tests of the Nonpartisan league and other farmer organizations, and the last information available was to the effect that the senate would bow to the desires of the farmers and pass the bill, as it was passed in the house. The telegram sent by President Townley on behalf of the National Nonpartisan league was as follows: St, Paul, Minn,, January 8, 1918. Senator Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C. Bill ' appropriating $100, 000 ,000 for federal farm loan banks has passed hoyse. Will you not use your influence to bring it to an early roll call and vote for its passage? The hill-is not all it should be, but it offers some much needed aid to the farmers. And financial aid is imperative to relieve a serious sit- uation. Congress voted huge sums to help shipbuilders, munition-makers and others.. The farming industry cer- tainly . is entitled ‘to same considera- tion.
