MORE MONEY FOR FARMERS

Grain Concern Directors Vote to Increase Prices Paid. At a meeting of the directors of the Farmers’ Elevator company at the court house Saturday afternoon it was voted to increase the prices paid for both corn and oats and in the future to buy the grains on a more narrow margin. The price of corn was therefore made $1.05 per bushel, and the price of oats will be three cents below the Chicago market quotations. C. W. Postill, secretary of the company, was elected a delegate to the state convention of farmers’ elevator associations in session at Lafayette yesterday and today. The directors also ordered the installation of an electric light over their wagon scales.
