FARM ORGANIZATIONS OUTLINE PLANK FOR , CAMPAIGN PLATFORM " "Recognition for farmers -will be asked of the platform makers of each of the two great political parties at their June conventions by representaUves ofvthe various farm "organisations of tire country. This action was decided at' the closing of the two-day meeting of the national board of farm organizations at Chicago Wednesday. According to Charles A. Lyman, national secretary of the board, it was the general opinion of the delegates that the food producers never had received the attention of either the Republican or Democratic party to which they were entitled. It was their purpose, he said, to send representatives to the Chicago and the San Francisco conventions with demands that they be recognized in the formation of party platforms and to throw the weight of their support at the November election to that party, which gave the greatest consideration to the far mer In the party declaration of prin-1 ciples, : - The main points which farmers will insist on were outlined by R. D. Cooper of Little Falls. N. Y. They follow: Right of collective bargaining by agricultural interests, as Bet forth in the pending Capper-Herman bill. Forest Conservation. Conservation of forests with a view to keeping down the cost to consumers of print paper and lumber; Payment of the war debt through direct taxation on "those best able to pay," meaning corporations and persons who .acquired great wealth during the war. Reduction of the high cost of living through elimination of the middleman and provision for more direct dealing with the consumer. Appointment of a secretary of agriculture who knows practical farm conditions. . . Legislation against corporations and individuals acquiring great tracts of land, as a means of reducing farm tenancy. Equal rights to corporations and others in transportation facilities.

FARMERS GET IN MUCH ! WORK DURING WEEK : A summary of weather and crop conditions in Indiana for the week, by J. II. Armington, of the Indianapolis weather bureau, follows: Light showers fell on several days in the extreme southern part of the mi state. Elsewhere the week was most ; ly without rainfall except on Tuesday, i; Temperature continued a little below ; normal, but the readings were mostly moderate and sunshine was abundant Ac a result, vegetation made more rapid progress than in any previous week of the season, and farm work suffered no interruption except in the 'j-ecently flooded bottom lands of the sptrthwest, where the soil continued "jfeo wet to work well. In fact, in "host other parts of the state the ground dried out so rapidly as to be- ; come crusty and hard, and showers were beneficial. The Russian likes no sleeping place ", so well as the top of the big soap- ';: stone stove in the dwelling,, and, '...crawling out of this blistering bed in 'Zthe morning, he delights in taking a ?l plunge in a cold stream, even if he has to break the ice to do so.

Something More than Profits MOST men are in business for the purpose of making money ; you understand that; the profits are the objective. All right. The next question is How can we make our business pay the best profits ? And in the answer to that question lies the big difference between businesses. We figure that a small margin on a large volume of sales is more profitable than a large profit on each sale. We figure that if we serve our community by having the right goods ; and selling them at a fair price ; and giving each purchaser our assurance that he shall have satisfaction or money back, our profits take care of themselves. Service is more than profits; it's really the source of profit.

The Farm and By William R.

Howard Hockett, now In charge of the elevator at Fountain City, says that farmers are more Inclined to sell their hogs than to feed them, and that many feeders can be picked up. He eays that po corn is coming in, btrw a few; oats are Welng marketed at 11.10. He notes an improvement in wheat, but at best the crop will be short. Very little corn has been planted. Wednesday's heavy rain again putting back all farm work, which is already weeks late. "Ab to the elevator proposition," eaid he, "there is nothing new. No new price has been set Can't say Just what will be done about it. The farmers of New Garden and Franklin townships have raised considerable money for an elevator at this point, but no deal has been fixed up that I know anything about." Wheat 8mewhat Improved. Harley Billman, of the New Madison, O., elevator, says that wheat show3 some improvement over early promise and some of the late' sown is looking good. A lot of wheat land was drilled to oats, however, and some of it plowed up for corn, and with the best kind of luck wheat will be scarce. "While some farmers," said he, "are still short of help they have quit talking about it and have gone to work, doing the best they can to put In a crop. A very little corn has been planted around New Madison but the! oat acreage will be comparatively large, owing to what has happened to early Bown wheat. Am not an authority on tobacco, only, knbw that some have told me that they were going to cut out tobacco thiB year, owing to low price paid for last crop." Feeder Demand Falls Off. "Until last week," eald Clarence Addleman of Bethel, "we had quite a demand for feeder hogs. We have handled a lot. We sold D. R. Funk of Franklin township 140 head, for instance. As for myself, I am entirely out of hogs; made a cleanup some time ago. Have 1,000 bushels of corn in reserve to feed to something. Went out and looked at a lot of likely hogs today, thinking I might turn thom loose on this corn, but got cold feet. Was offered $1.80 per bushel for that corn by a Richmond man the other Hints for Beautifying Town or Country Place Most common annuals may be started out of doors now. Have soil well prepared. Sow thinly in drills. All summer flowering bulbs may be planted now. Plant twice as deep as diameter. Do not delay cutting lawn until grass is so long as to make raking necessary. Edges of walks, flower beds ana shrubbery borders should be trimmed neatly and cleanly. Tree trimming should be done now. All large wounds should be painted. Use asphalt urn. Remove all dead wood as well as all weak and diseased branches. Leaf beetles of various types are beginning to make appearance, especial ly grape flea beetle. Spray with arsen ate of lead, three pounds to 50 gallons water; small proportions, two tablespoonfuls to one gallon water. Fruit trees should be sprayed now with Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead. Formal hedges and evergreens should be clipped. After blooming period ceases prune Forsythias. Spiraea, lilacs, Deutzias, etc.; but not before. Cut out the old unproductive wood.

The Farmer Sanborn day, but may need It myself, so didn't sell." Wheat is looking better right along, Mr. Addleman says, but the early sown grain has been largely drilled to oats or plowed up for corn, the fly having mostly ruined it The oat acreage has been Increased some, mostly in wheat fields for feed. Farmers Losing Millions. R. P. Lindsey, of Cambridge City, says that the farmers have lost millions on hogs and cattle, and that in all his experience he has never seen the live stock industry so demoralized. Says he reads' all he can about conditions and when through he is just where he begun, uncertain as to the best course.7 He thinks that these live stock losses will cut farm auto 'buying. Says that there has hardly been a car of live stock shipped since last summer that did not net the farmer a loss of $100 up. Mr. Lindsey has 100 acres In wheat, some of wheat is looking like a crop, the balance thin and spotted. He also has 200 head of spring pigs which don't look, like a profit with hogs at 14 cents and corn at $2. He says his "pastures are pretty fair, which helps the hog problem a little."

It took Nature, the great alchemist, many years to make a single Diamond. The essence of the Diamond is carbon, but Nature heated and heated and heated this carbon, and put it under intense pressure in the earth before it finally came forth In the shape of a hard, although not particularly attractive, crystal.

Man then took hold of it, put a lot more time and science into it, cleaving it, pollBhlng it, rubbing It, measuring it and shaping It, until finally there was' created the sparkling, lustrous, scintillating gem which elicits the admiration of the world. Considering all the time and effort, therefore, required to produce a Diamond, and its investment value, a perfect gem is a most desirable purchase.

The scarcity of Diamonds is making the price higher, so that those who buy now make money.

WOOL MEN TO MEET SATURDAY EVENING

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Although new wool has been selling tn the west for six weeks not a fleece has been offered in Richmond, nor has any shearing been reported, owing to the wet cold spring. A report from Omaha states that the wool of 10,000 lambs, which was bought by speculators during the switchmen's strike, has been sold at from 61 cents to 66 cents per pound. The fleeces ranged at from five to eight pounds, and in extreme cases 10 pounds per lamb. There are shearing plants near the Omaha yards and the cost per Iamb Is about 20 cents. County Agent Murphy Is trying to Interest Wayne sheep growers in a wool pool, and the first general meeting for that purpose was held at the court house on Saturday evening. May 8. Another will be called for an early date. The idea Is to have the wool pooled at a central point, buyers notified of location and quantities and date of Bale. The wool will be sold for cash and to the highest bidder. To cut out the speculator manufacturers' agents will be notified and be given a chance to inspect the clip, this to be graded and divided Into merchantable lots, according to kinds and qualities. All Interested are- Invited to meet Mr. Murphy and talk the proposition over. Henry county has formed a pool, and other Indiana counties' pooled their wool last year, the result being very satisfactory. Selling on Its Merits. H. M. Mumford, of the Illinois Agricultural association, says: "According to the old methods, the firBt buyer collects only a few thousand pounds, which he turns over to a larger dealer and the system of buying and selling is carried through several hands which Increases the middleman's profits." "Although it involves a longer time for the grower to sell direct to the SULPHUR CLEARS ROUGH, RED SKIN Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made Smooth, Says Specialist. Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little MenthoSulphur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation begins at once to soothe irritated skin and heal eruptions such as rash, pimples and ring worm. It seldom fails to remove the torment and disfigurement, and you do not have to wait for relief from embarrassment. Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of MenthoSulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream. Advertisement. Than to Wish You Had' the Diamond

manufacturer, the market is steadied." , Iowa bankers have agreed to loan on wool stored in designated warehouses, so that it may be held as necessary, thus stabilising the market. It is not unlikely that this can be arranged for in Wayne county, and this would most likely insure considerably better prices to growers, in the county agent's view. TO ENTER ART CONTEST OF HERRON INSTITUTE Several members of the Richmond high school art class will enter a competitive examination in drawing, the winner of which will be granted a year scholarship in the John Herron institute at Indianapolis, providing an extension or time is granted. The con test is open to all counties of the state, one man or woman from each county to receive a scholarship. The contest closes Saturday and if the time extension is not granted, Richmond high Bchool will probably not enter.
