Washington Bnrtan of The
Omaha Bet, 1311 G Streft.
Washington, March 26. (Special
Telegram.) Complaints have been
received recently, by Representatives
Sloan and Kinkaid, from constituents,
that Nebraska bankers where farm
ers are contemplating increasing the
spring acreage, find themselves handi
capped in not being able to dispose of
tractor paper held by them, through
the Reserve bank, the Reserve bank
having taken trie position that tractor
paper is in the nature of an invest
ment instead of being commercial
within the meaning of the Federal
Reserve law.
At the instance of C. W. Puggsley.
director of farm extension service of
the univerity of Nebraska, Congress
man Sloan conferred with the secrq
tary of the Federal Reserve board
today.
After being shown the need of
tractors to increase the acreage of
spring wheat as urged upon farmers
by the Department of Aericv.Uure
and the food administration and he
absence of man power on the farm,
Secretary H. Parker Willis, said there
was no objection to tractor paper if
it was within the six months' limit,
and was otherwise liquid under the
Reserve bank rules in Omaha.
Anderson Returns.
Captain Walter L. Anderson of
Lincoln, whese call to Washington
was veiled in some mystery, left for
Nebraska today, having" been called
to the capital by Ptorvost Marshal
General Crcwder, with representa
tives of other states to receive in
structions on the second draft.
After a conference in Washington
with Secretary of Agriculture Hous
ton and Food Administrator Hoover,
a small group of prominent agricul
tural speakers are carrying to farm
ers of the northern and western
states, the government's view of the
important part that American farm
ers can play this year in assuring
American victory in the war.
The speakers are explaining how
every farmer can adjust his opera
tions to fit ir.to the national plan; are
telling wliac the United States De
partment of Agriculture is doing to
assist farmers in war service all
good farming now being war service
and are explaining the plans of the
Departments of Agriculture and La
bor, and the War department's plan
not to call producing farmers and
farm laborers Into military service
until after the crop season.
Iowa Dean to Talk.
Dean C. F. Curtiss of the Iowa Ag
ricultural college is one of the speak
ers. His itinerary calls for the fol
lowing speeches in Nebraska: Nor
folk, March 28; Hastings, March 29;
Lincoln. March 30.
The federal farm loan board will
now make loans to homesteaders who
have fully complied with the home
stead requirements and made final
proof but who have not actually re
ceived patent according to statements
made to Congressman Mondell by the
commissioner of the general land
office.
Heretofore, even private loan agen
cies have been extremely reticent in
advancing money on such lands, and
Jt is thought the intention of the fed
eral board will encourage private
agencies to further extend their ac
tivities to lands of this class.

to Neihardt that he took an irter
preter to the railway station at Crow
Agency when the poet was lea-'ng
and announced that he wished to be
a brother to this white man for life.
Neihardt grasped the dusky hand.
The old Crow scout slipped a heavy
ring off his linger, a ring he wore in
the Custer fight, and placed it on the
white man's finger.
"Now we are brothers for life " he
said through his interpreter.
Neihardt quickly slipped from his
own finger a solid silver ring bv has
long worn, and placed it on one of
the Crow's fingers. They are tri til
ers, for they are wearing the tokens.
Mr. Neihardt is collecting material
for one volume of the epic eye ; of

Impossible to Miss Enemy
In Mass Formation Is Word
London, March 26 The Germans
swarmed over No Man's land in such
great numbers in their first attacks
that it was impossible for the British
gunners to miss them, telegraphs the
correspondent at British headquarters
in France of the Daily Express. Two
batteries at Epe'hy fired steadily with
open sights at 400 ycards for four
hours. Telling of the thrilling ex
ploit of Leicestershire troops, the cor
respondent says:
"Perzieres was held for a time by
two companies of Leicestershires as
sisted by two tanks. The enemy kept
pressing them back, however, and one
company was completely cut off. In
stead of surrendering, they held to the
village until only a few men were left.
Then, the surviving officer led then: in
a charge through two lines of Ger
mans and they fought their way Lack
to our main body."
British Destroyer Sunk.
London, March 26. A British de
stroyer was sunk on March 23, in a
collision, the admiralty announced
tonight. One officer and one of the
crew were drowned.
