FARM FEDERATION ON DOOM

Jasper County Is Being Rapidly Organized, Saya Report. The much-talked-of organizing of ~ the farmers in Jasper county has become a reality on a big scale. C. S. Masterson, a farmer and president of the farmers’ federation of Hancock county, has been with us the past week, beginning with Monday evening, Sept. 13, and has very successfully organized five of our townships, namely, Marlon, Jordan, Carpenter, Hanging Grove and Milroy, into township units which will be united together with the other townships, which are being rapidly organized, into a strong county organization. Mr. Masterson is noted over the state as a whirlwind organizer and has the record of securing the most farm federation members of any other organizer in the state. He recently rolled up 300 members in one town. He is a very capable man for the job and thoroughly understands the many problems which are confronting the farmers at the present time. Any sound thinking man who has heard him talk will not refuse to become a member of the oncoming strong farmers’ federation in Jasper county. All the progressive trustees of the county have signed up and have been on the membership drives. No one should miss hearing Mr. Masterson. He is a gentleman dealing out the truth only. He has a big, warm spot in his heart tor the farmers and Is sacrificing the work on his own farm in order to organize the farmers here, so that they may be better fitted to meet the farm problems of today. **
