.| DEATH OF C-G. CONN Former Indiana Congressman and Founder of Band Instrument FacC- : tory Passes Away ..

Charles Gerard Conn 86 year old, who died at Los Angeles, Calif.,, Monday was the founder of the C. G. Conn' band instrument manufacturing company of Elkhart. The firm still retains his name although he has had no connections with it for several years. - A blow on the mouth was the foundation %i‘ Colonel Charles G. Conn's fame ant fortune. The blow was administered not long after the Civil war by Del Grampton now of Indianapolis and a former Elkhartan contemporary with Conn, who later became his fast friend. ; :

The blow injured Conn's lip and the disabilily hampered hig playing a cornet in the Elkhart town band. Conn, then a gro¢er and baker had a sideline om making rubber stamps and plating silverware. He set to work and invented an elastic mouthpiece for his cornet to conform with his. injured lip. 1t proved to fit normal lips so much - better than mouthpieces then in use that a demand developed for the article and Conn began 1 their ‘-manufacture on 2 lathe improvised from the discarded frame of an:j old sewing machine. This was in 1873. ' ’ j The little business grew and in 1877 Conn bought an idle factory building and launched the manufacture of band instruments. On his 30th birthday, this buildigg was destroyed by - fire. He built immediately a four-story siructure which also was burned on May 22, 1919, involving a loss of more then $lOO,OOO. Four months later all departments of the factory again were in operation under the: roof of a new factory. - In April, 1911 Conn and his wife executed a trust "deed for $200,000 covering all their possesion for the purpose of bonding the Conn indebtedness and securing working capital. In addition to the horn factory the deed included the Angldile Scale Co., the Elkhart Daily Truth, a newspaper Conn had founded in 1889 60 parcels of real estate some mortgages, stock in a motor company and personal prop erty. ; ’ oy A group of capitalists headed by Carl D. Greenleaf bought all Conn’s Elkhart holdings in 1916 and the horn company was reorganized as C. G. Conn Ltd. Conn went to California where he spent the remaining years of his life making one trip to Elkhart in 1925. :

Fall Colds By J. H. Bodwell

A stitch in time saves nine- is an | old adage. It is particularly applicable to the poultry keeper. Poultry diseases are more prevalent in these days of large flocks under confinement than heretofore when only small flocks were kept that wandered at will over large acres. : .Diseases at this time of year have put more poultrymen out of the game ‘than any other single thing. It is up to every poultryman to keep ahead of disease by using every possible means at his disposal. Such common diseases as fall colds, bronchitis, roup, canker and chicken pox can almost be avoided if proper precautions are taken at this season of the year. As it is at housing time or shortly after that these diseases get their start and after they are started production slows up or stops aft_ogether and the poultry keeper loses his profits for the year. v Ventilation is of great help in controlling or preventing these diseases. Where proper ventilation is maintained, drafts and wet floorg are parctically elimindted. Drafts and wet floors give any disease a chance to get started and develop rapidly. | -Next to ventilation constipation is of vital importance. The medical profegsion acknowledges the fact fthat humans if constipated catch colds and other diseases quicker than if the bowels are in good condition. The same reasoning should’be applied to poultry. Plenty of green feed will keep the hen in condition which helps eliminate many of the diseases. - Alfalfa cured in the sun fed alone or when mixed with molasses is probbably one of the green feeds many poultrymen have neblected but those that are using it find that the birds are getting more mineral matter and vitamines and the birds are in better condition to make more money for their owners. Be sure to see that your hen houses arq properly ventilated and that the birds are getting plenty of green feed durine this time of year.

AID TO INDIANA FARMERS

State Bureau Backs Credit Common Named by Governor Leslie and Plan Relief :

Financial relief plans for farmers of thes tate as being worked out by the Agricultural Finance Commission, recently appointed by Governor: Lesg lie, received endorsement of the directors of the Indiana Farm Bureau in their first quarterly sesion of the yvear held in Indianapolis January 2 and 3. Dan Glassbrenner, chairmahn, Idianapolis; Dean J. H. Skinner Lafayette and Samuel R. Guard of the ‘commission, met with the directors of the state farm bureau and explained their tentative program to relieve the de presed financial situation of the farmers. W. H. Seitle president of the farm bureau, and also a member of the commission, presided at the joint session. Ralph G. Sams of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Louisville Kentucky also attended the conference. :

Although .definite plans of the commission have not been completed, it was expected that a local credit corporation would be set up in each county, through which loans can be made available to farmers through the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank.

It is proposed that a local or county committee of three persons be selected to have charge of a survey regarding the needs for financial asistance. The loeal corporation in each instance will constitute a cooperative orgaization of farmers through which funds will be available from the Federal Intermediafe Credit Bank. . It was explained that farmers will be required to pay not more than 6% per cent tfor borrowed funds through this source and can secure it for nine months time with renewals, if advisable, to include a period of not more than three years. Loans can be secured for the purchase of livestock feed seed and fertilizer. Chattels are to be used to secure payment of loans. Advantages of the system in c¢lude both liberal time for repayment and a lower rate of interest than usually prevails through other credit institutions.

The directors also approved the report of the tax survey commitee of which. Lewis Taylor, vice-president is a member, : ~ Dry Organizdtion Elects.
