ILLINOIS FARMERS TUUL LIVE STOCK, GRAIN, MILK, WOOL (By. Associated Press) CHICAGP, Dec. 14. Co-operative marketing as an economic measure, securing a higher return for farm products, and working toward stabilized market conditions, is one of the most important problems now being worked oiu dv me Illinois Agricultural aSSOCfunctioning for grain, livestock, milk and wool and plans are now being worked out to extend these marketing methods to all sections of Illinois. Similar methods are also being followed in practically every other state of the middle west. The need of a system of marketing ; which would eliminate the hazard of extreme fluctuations in the grain marr- - ket caused a conference last July representing grain organizations from 13 r states in the middle west. It was called by the American Farm Bureau federation and resulted in appointment of a committee 6f 17 to outline a plan of organization. At a meeting today, sub-committees which have been . studying special phases of the problem, will report a plan outlined for submission to the organizations. "Contrary to popular opinion in the cities, farmers did not, as a class, make money out of the war period," says a statement issued by the committee., "Therefore, the farmer was in no particularly happy frame of mind when the recent raids on the grain market began. The farmer's costs are going up rather than down. The farmer asks for some kind of a square deal so freely vouchsafed to organized industry and labor. Consumers as well as producers are vitally interested in the development of a business system of marketing foods products that will help eliminate speculation and fluctuating markets. The committee of 17 will use every effort to devise and perfect such a system."

Here he works a period, say three weeks, and at the end of the period alternates with his partner, who during the period was in school while he was in the shop. That means three things: schooling, practical experience, and self-support." Loafers Not Wanted.

DRAMATIC SOPRANO 1 CHARMS AUDIENCE

Mme. Elsa Harthan Arendt, dramatic soprano, sang to a small but very appreciative audience last night at Earlham, and by her magnetic personality and charming manners, completely won her audience before she had sung a note. Those who braved the" weather were amply repaid, for the concert proved one of the finest heard in Richmond this year. The program opened with two big dramatic French numbers, followed by a group of smaller songs in English. A charming little encore song, the "Cuckoo Clock," by Grant Schaeffer, a Chicagoan. won favor, and the aria from the Messiah, "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," given as an extra number gave an insight , into the religious thovght and feeling of the singer. The last group, made up of lighter songs, brought Mme. Arendt closer to the audience until a climax was made in the song by Bucci Peccia, "When I Go Alone." Mme. Arendt was forced to acknowledge several times the applause and finally sang as an encore, the beautiful "Last Rose of Summer." The singing of this number by Mme. Arendt is one of the most unusual rieces of singing as regards quality of tone and control of breath one can imagine, and many of our public singI era would do well to make that kind : of singing a serious study. j Accompaniments were played by jn 1111a Aiae names, 01 umcago, than whom therre is none better. Just the right support was given the singer at all times and had much to do with the artistic success of the evening.
