MANY FARMERS TO ATTEND MEETING.

Indianapolis, Ind., November 3. Chief interest among farmers for the coming week centers in the fall meeting of the board of directors and officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations to be held in this city on Tuesday. Problems of organization, proposed constitutional changes, and many other matters to be brought before the state convention of the federation, to be held in Indianapolis on November 18 and 19, are among the things to be discussed at the board meeting.

Walker, Montpelier; Oscar W. Larm, Oxford; F. P. Mullens, Alexandria; V. D. Sexson, Switz City; L. M. Volger, Hope; J. J. Brown, Rockport, and J. G. Klein, North Vernon, all district directors; John G. Brown, Monon, president; W. H. Hickman, Montpelier, vice-president; E. E. Reynolds, Lafayette, second vice-president; Lewis Taylor, Indianapolis, general secretary; C. E. Chester, Hobart, treasurer, and William Bosson, Indianapolis, special treasurer of the guaranty fund. Developments of the past week as shown at a number of the county meetings leads to the general prediction that at the coming state convention of the farmers a resolution will be passed favoring a ten-hour working day as opposed to the .six and dirht-hour working basis. rUffieers of the state organization maintain that the agriculturists are selling their products on a ten, twelve and fourteen-hour basis and buying things they need on an basis. Reports which have reached the headquarters of the farmers in this city are to the effect that aside from the official delegates fropi the sev-enty-five organized counties many of ithe members of the county associations expect to send large delegations to the state convention. It has been announced that all of the sessions will be open tfo the farmers of the state, regardless of their affiliation with the parent body. ■ 1 ““Capitarand labor arebne!” shouts an economist.
