Burdick said restrictions on lending from this fund, set up by the president when he vetoed the seed loan bill, are such that before getting a loan farmers have to convince the administration they are "financially all in, and unable to get help from anyone." Legislative action, he said, was likely to be slow. "If the wheat Is not in within the next two weeks in North Dakota," he said, "there is no use planting it.

HATTIESBURG, Apri 16 A wild duck came to the yard of the residence of Andre D. Katz of Hattiesburg, but remained to be fried. Surprised to see a wild duck come to rest in his yard, Mr. Katz, an attorney, parried the feathery bird into his home and watered and fed him. The duck then was ready to go, and de-onstrated it by flying against a screen on the porch and beating it with his wings.

But Mr. Katz had other plans. He wanted to clip the duck's wings and put him on the Elk's reservation near here. But, he was informed, that would be sure, death for the duck, so he abandoned that idea. The final idea was to have a duck supper.
