FARMERS’ NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 10.—Officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations, the ten district directors, and many of the county organizations with special fepfesentatives, will attend the national convention of farmers to be held in Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The Chicago meeting has been called for the purpose of perfecting a national organization of the various state associations of farmers, which in turn are made up of the county and township units. It is understood that representatives from twenty-three state associations of farmers will be present at the national convention, but no state will have on hand a more enthusiastic delegation of boosters than the one which will represent the Indiana farmers. Seventy-seven of the ninety-two counties are fully organized and members of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations, all of which has been accomplished in seven months, is the wonderful record the Hoosier contingent will have to display at the national convention. With the state convention of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations scheduled for Indianapolis next week at the Masonic temple, a special committee is to report on the plans outlined at the Chicago gathering, and any action taken by the Indiana delegation will be subjectto the ■will of the delegates attending the Indiana convention. Aside from the seventy-seven accredited delegates to the state convention, there is every indication pointing to a .great attendance. i Many of the connty associations are, planning to send from twenty-five to fifty representatives to the meetings, all of which are to be open to ' the general public.

OHIO DRYS LEAP FINAL HURDLE

RETURNED WINNERS BY 1,480 IN THE ANTI-SALOON STEEPLECHASE. Ohio last Tuesday voted to sustain the action of its legislature in ratifying the federal prohibition amendment by a majority of 1,480, according to complete returns from all but two. precincts in the state and official returns from seventy-nine of the eighty-eight counties, tabulated Saturday night at the office of. the secretary of state. The vote stood: For ratification, 499,766; against, '498,276. Although returns on the other prohibition .questions voted upon had not been tabulated officially, < they indicated that the repeal of statewide prohibition was defeated by 30,000 or more majority, that the 2.75 per cent beer proposal was defeated by a majority of 15,000 or more, and that the wets succeeded in defeating the Crabbe prohibition enforcement act by a majority of 25,000 or more. ♦ Included in the nine counties from which the official vote has not been received upon the ratification referendum are Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) both of which returned large wet majorities. However, advices from those counsaid"that tn—Clevelandthe canvass of the vote had been completed without disclosing any large errors, and that in Cincinnati approximately sixteen wards had been canvassed 'without any big errors having been discovered. As the situation stood Saturday night, the drys conceded the defeat of the Crabbe enforcement act, while the wets conceded defeat of the prohibition repeal and 2.75 per icent beer proposals. < 1 Both wets and drys, however, continued to make claims of victory on the ratification referendum. Both contended that the official count would show them victorious. With a dry majority of 7,797 showing on the -face of . complete unofficial returns from ninety-nine of the 120 counties of the state, prohibitionists in Kentucky are jubilant over their apparent victory. They declared that when the remaining twenty-one counties are heard from, the dry majority would go beyond 10,000. “Wet” organizations did not deny this assertion, some conceding defeat of the amend<ment. " ' Attorney General A. C. Ritchie, democrat, was elected governor of Maryland at last Tuesday’s election by a plurality of 165 over Harry W. Nice, republican, according to the complete official returns, the canvass of which was finished Saturday. It was the closest gubernatorial election ever -held - in—Maryland.

M, ahd all of our boys who in any way participated in the late world war: We welcome you, our soldier lads, Back home this joyful day, Back to the dearest place on earth, Where peace and love hold sway. You return to ug, as conquerors, Come home the victors, now; We fain would place a laurel wreath Upon each heroic brow. Our hearts are filled with loving pride As you, our boys, march by, Not one afraid to fight for right, • Nor one afraid to die. You kept “Old Glory” floating high, Unstained through all the fight, Till justice triumphed over wrong And might gave way to right. Webowonrheadsihreverehtlove“ As we think of those who lie In a f oreign land where popies grow, \Beneath.a sunny sky. They fear no more the bursting shells • Or terrors of the deep; God’s love enfolds 6ach grassy mound As peacefully they sleep. We welcome you, the living; now, Though no less brave than they, Fought side 'by side to conquer wrong, Victorious in the fray. As we rejoice and feast,, we pray That all warfare may cease; That love and justice rule the world And there be eternal peace. —ANNABELLE BAIER.

MEN WHO FOUGHT LAST WILL FIGHT NEXT.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—Majority members of the house committee on military affairs are preparing an army reorganization bill lacking universal military training, but providing for a reserve army of about 1,000,000 men who had experience in the late war. These are the outstanding features: Regular army of 289,000 officers and enlisted men. Reserve of men who saw service or had training in the war with Germany, and also the national guard of the several states. Increased officers’ reserve corps. Independent military and commercial air services. Tank and chemical warfare branches. Transportation service separate from the quartermaster’s department Promotion of regular army officers by selection from single list Line officers as chiefs of the various arms of the service. General staff college, through which officers must pass before detail to the general staff. Sponsors of the ' bill say universal military training would be defeatedat this time. Only seven members of the committee, it is declared, are ready to vote for it now. Still, advocate of universal training are certain to urge it as an amendment if the bill comes from committee as now outlined. No final vote has been taken in committee. The reserve army plan, backed by Chairman Kahn of the committee, would make attractive enlistment in the United States army by organizing local units made up, as far as possible, in a way to retain war time associations; adding thereto government equipment, armories, commissary, and other privileges. The idea is to restrict membership to those who have received actual training, offering nominal pay of $24 a. year, but providing two weeks or more each year for mobilization, or inspection. Mr. Kahn figures this plan will cost about |50,000,000 a year for a reserve army’ of about 1,000,000 men. The army staff plan of a standing army of 578,000 men would cost close to $1,000,000,000 a year. The national guard would be preserved as a training agency from which men could go into the reserve army. Reasons for increased officers’ reserve corps are obvious.

PRIZE FIGHT TO BE ONE OF THE FEATURES.

A six-round bout between two Chicago pugs will be one of the features of the Armistice day celebration to be held here Tuesday. A ocal representative contracted the ;wa maulers Sunday and they will beh e morning. They have agreed that there will be no stalling and that there will be plenty of action from gong to gong in every one of the six rounds. C. A. Ross, at one time a clever mit wielder himself, will be the third man in the ring.
