HOOSIER FARMER ORGANIZATION GROWING STRONG

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 8. —An enthusiastic meeting of the board of directors and officers of the Indiana Federation* of Farmers associations was held at the headquarters of the organization in Indianapolis during the last week, and the sentiment was expressed that with the close co-operation of the various county associations the Hoosier farmers will present one of the strongest bodies of agriculturists in the middle west. One of the encouraging features of the meeting was the interest taken by all of the district directors who are regarded as important spokes in the administrative policy of -the organization. Shortly after the state federation was formed last March it was a difficult matter to get anything like a representative session together when a board meeting was called by the president of the organization. As it stands now, the ten district directors appear willing workers, and many times, even at the sacrifice of their own business interests, have expressed themselves as willing to do their part of the organization work. At the meeting held last week nine of the ten district directors attended, as well as all of the state officers. It was the first general meeting of the board since holding the state convention and was regarded as the best ever held by the federation. The two new state officers —Everett McClure and Maurice Douglass, first and second vice-presidents, respectively—have entered upon the duties of their positions with vigor and energy and promise to add strength to the executive force. Officers and directors are working in perfect harmony, which is a good omen for future success of the organization. _■ At the board meeting Wilnam Bosson, of Marion county, was selected to' serve as the new treasurer of the federation. For several months he has been serving as special treasurer of the guaranty fund. Lewis Taylor was re-elected as general secretary until November, 1920. W. H. Hickman, of Montpelier, was re-appointed editor in chief of the Hoosier Farmer Organized, the official publication of the organization. The new executive committee is composed of President John G. Brown, Maurice Douglass and William Bosson.

SUSPICION ATTACHED TO DEATH OF LAURA BABY.

Coroner W. J. Wright was called to Laura Sunday afternoon at the insistence of a Wheatfield physician who found circumstances surrounding the death of'i a baby, born at that place Sunday, not at all to his liking. The physician was called shortly after noon by the father of the girl, who stated that he wished him to serve in a childbirth case. However, the baby was born before the arrival of the physician, who found it dead upon hi? arrival. The parents -of the girl alleged that the baby was a stillborn one, but the physician was not satisfied the explanation and sent for Mr. Wright. . The child was an illegitimate one and was born to the daughter of a man named Cunningham. Coroner Wright returned to Laura today to continue the investigation, but is of the opinion that the little one was not the victim of foul play.
