"The purpose of the club house," said Sheik Dufhn, "is to provide a place for the club patrol team in which it can drill and where the entire club can meet for business and social occasions." So far as is known now, It is be lieved that the building will be of but one story and will provide ample snace for a reception room, dance hall, club meeting room, drill hall and cafeteria arrangements for dinners or Hvht refreshments. Sheik DUIIin bei lieves the building of such a structure will be but the start of a brilliant future for the club. Since the organization of this club of Shriners last August there have been similar clubs organized in many Darts of the state. The movement is said to be growing and has the sanction of the Imperial Council of Shrin ers. The Richmond club is now rorming a drum and bugle corps in connection with the drill team. Many local Shriners are expecting to attend the Murat tempie ceremonial to be held in Indianapolis April 2. The celebration will be for but one night, but Shriners from all parts of the state axe invited.

The f eld had been laid out in lands proportioned to the number of inches of furrow turned by the plows pulled by each tractor, so that all would do an equal amount of work in proportion to their sire. Tractors demonstrating were: the General Ordnance, Indiana, Heider, Titan, and I. H. C. 8-16, Fordeon, Case, Minneapolis, Twin City, and Samson. The lands had all been laid out in readiness, and a "starting line" or headland furrow plowed across the ends. At nine o'clock the tractors were lined up and started together to plow their allotment.". Those exhibit'ng showed great variety in design, though there were few of "the radical or freakMi machines so

Interesting Sidelights. Many interesting sidelights on the favored points of the tractors and arguments for and against tractor farming in Wayne county could be gleaned from the chance remarks overheard among the onlookers. "That's my son there by that machine," said one farmer. "I don't go much on tractors, but he likes machinery and doesn't like horses, so I got him one to keep him on the farm." "I don't like that direct belt drive." "I dont like bevel gears on a drive pulley." "Bevel gears are all right if they run in oil." "Direct drive for the pulley is the only thing," are indicative of the conflicting opinions and reasons for purchases of particular tractors. The Samson, Twin City and Fordson were the first tractors to finish their lands, but the first two had been put on the same land. All tractors were stopped before noon, plans being to plow the remainder of the field in the afternoon. At that time also, a disc and cultipacker were to be demonstrated and also a motor cultivator which had been left in the shed during the morning demonstration.. After all lands had been finished, it was planned for all tractors to plow in succession aromd the edge of the field, plowing the headlands, and "pass in review" before the spectators.

Several state that the circulators of the petition misrepresented the cost. ft Satires of 1920" Appears in Local Theatre Soon Manager E. W.

WAYNE TOWNSHIP FARMERS TO FORM CO-OPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSOCIATION

Decision to establish a farmers co-I operative elevator in Richmond and appointment of a committee to arrange for raising the necessary cap- . ital, were the principal features of a j meeting held in the Wayne county courthouse Friday evening. Farmers of Wayne township and vicinity who were interested in the formation of a co-operative elevator company and the erection or purchase of a co-operative elevator building, met Friday night to discuss the proposition, and listen to advice from E. G. McCullom, of Indianapolis, secretary of the state organization of co-operative elevators, and for several years an organizer of co-operative elevators in Indiana. Explaining that a co-operative business is owned by the producers, and is not goverened by the same economic laws as privately owned businesses, Mf. McCullom said: "Many experienced business men, merchants and bankers, have time and again predicted the speedy failure of co-operative companies, where they were established, because they do not follow the same procedure as corporations. They have been entirely sincere in such state ments, but they have always been mistaken. Overlooked Facts. "They have overlooked the fact that tne co-operative company is guaranteed in its business, that business of members will always come to it, while customers and patrons of the privately owned company will leave whenever it does not offer higher prices than other companies. There has never been a failure of a co-operative company when It was organized under the co-operative law, and in accordance with sound co-operative principles." Adequate capitalization is the first essential, according to McCullom. "The first, and the worst mistake that many co-operatives make is in trying to start with too small a capital," he said. "This mistake is made by 75 percent of the co-operatives organized. They have not enough money, they subscribe only enough for a bare start. The time comes when they must have more and they find it difficult or iav

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

There is a grade Holstein cow in Wayne county that, as two-year old, was adjudged the champion in her class at the Chicago International not a great while ago. She is one of the recently imported dairy herd out on the old Abraham Gaar farm, northeast of town. Should this interest you and you wish to see this class of stock more widely introduced in this section you will be glad to know an effort Is to be made in that direction. If you have a dairy herd, or wish to improve your milch stock, the fact that there is to be an initial sale of pure bred, registered Holsteins, and also a sale of a lot of choice grade animals at the Gaar place next Tuesday, will interest you. The scrub must finally go, and in many sections is already on its way. The hog breeders of this district have already done much in this direction; horse breeders are making some progress and there are now more registered cattle in Indiana than ever before. Mr. Hill's Selections. The herd on sale was recently imported from the Cheboygan, Wisconsin, district, by Joseph Hill and Clem Gaar, as previously stated in this paper. Their idea is to test out the farmers in this section with regard to the permanent betterment of their dairy or farm herds by the introduction of pure bred and fine grade animals. The coming sale will be a partial test of the sentiment in favor of fine milch cattle as against the scrub. The success of this sale will in a measure decide to what extent Hill and Gaar will continue to import fine dairy cattle of this breeding, for sale in the local radius. There has been quite a dairy herd on the Gaar farm for some time and it was while on a trip to secure one of the best bulls of the Holstein line It occurred to Mr. Hill that our milk producers might be interested in such a venture. There are a number of pure breds in the onenng but the bulk of it consists of choice grades, carefully bred for milk production. In the selection of the animals so recently imported Mr. Hill obtained the assistance of Prof. Oosterhuis, for years connected with the Wisconsin university at Madison, in the department of animal husbandry. The cattle FIRST M. E. REPORT FOR YEAR, PROMISING Both the Rev. R. W. Stoakes, pastor of the First Methodist church, and Dr. Somerville Light, district superintendent, were recalled to their respective positions, at the last quarterly meeting of the First church, held Friday night. Reports for the year were unusually promising. They showed that the income for the year from all sources, totaled 14,128. An indebtedness of only 1,800 still remains.

possible to get more, as usually a fan mer is satisfied simply to be on the in side, without subscribing any more than he has to, or any beyond his first subscription. Then when the hard times come, there is not enough capital to tide the company over, as sistance is asked, not given, and the company goes on .the rocks." Warns Against Competition. Another warning was given against trying to compete with other privately owned companies. "Usually at the first, the farmer cannot realize that the co-operative elevator Is doing him any good unless be gets a higher price at the wagon box than the other elevators 'will give. These other elevators usually are compelled to give more than they have before, but few farmers give the credit for that raise to the co-operative elevator. The ele vator at Wolcott saved the farmers two cents a bushel during the first three years by making Wolcott prices that much higher than at any other station near. This amounted to 182,000. paid to the farmers, which they would not have had if the co-operative elevator had not been there. But aside from higher prices, if the prices at the cooperative elevator are as low. or low-1 er than at other elevators, the man who trades there, if he is a member, will get more in the end, because all the profits the elevator makes on his business will be rebated to him at the end of the year. Therefore it is possible and wise for the co-operative elevator to charge a safe margin on the grain it handles, since if it makes more than it should on the farmer's business, it will pay the money back at the end of the year. Don't compete with the other companies in the prices you pay for grain. More failures of cooperatives are caused by that than by anything else." Decision was made to establish a cooperative elevator in Richmond, and the chairman appointed a committee to arrange for stock subscription solicitors, who will raise the capital necessary. After that Is done, the company will be organized and a plant established. were bought from a number of Hollanders, prosperous but not rich farmers and butter makers. Each of these cows was selected on its test record, made by the milk testing association. Every animal passed the tuberculin test before shipment, in accordance with the Wisconsin law. A Blueblooded Bull. Mr. Gaar states that the Wisconsin bull now at the head of their herd, is the son of Segis Matador Walker, the half brother of Segis Piertie Prospect, who has a record of 37,381 pounds of milk and of 1.448 pounds of butterfat in one year, which Mr. Gaar says made her "the champion cow of the world." This bull is a handsome animal with all the marks of fine breeding. It is worthy of remark that on the arrival of the shipment of Holsteins in Richmond, a little more than two weeks ago, there were three more head than had been purchased, the additional youngsters coming to light in transit In the car. Twelve of the cows are now "fresh." Indiana Herd Record. According to advices from Purdue, there are now 228 herds of cattle, 127 dairy and 101 of the beef breed, which are "accredited," which means are entirely free from tuberculosis. These herds are pure breds and high grade stock. Union County to Give Corn. In a conversation with Foster Campbell, agriculaural agent for Union county, he stated that the whole county is interested in making as liberal donation of corn as possible to the stricken people of China. There was a meeting of farmers of Center township at the Coliseum in Liberty on Thursday evening. It was the sense of the meeting that every farmer should give at least five bushels of corn to this charity and as many more as the goodness of his heart might prompt. Harrison township met at Hanna's Creek church on Friday night to take action in this matter. There was a large attendance and a liberal donation of corn from Harrison township is promised. Every township in Union county has already or will hold meetings during the coming week. It is not expected that any corn will leave Liberty until , the week of March 27 to April 2.

FARMERS APPROVE OF PROPOSED EMBARGO ON IMPORTED FOODS -Approvals of the proposed embargo, on Importations of farm products which compete with domestic products, was voiced by local farmers when asked their stand tag on the action asked of President Harding- by west em senators and representatives. "We especially need a tariff on wool." said Theodore Davis, president of the Wayne county farm bureau. "Australian wool is being dumped on us now through New York, and many of our low prices are due to competition of domestic products with foreira importations." Chinese eggs might have an embargo or a high tariff also." "I think all the fanners around here would be in. favor of an embargo cv imports." said R. E. Morrow, president of the Wayne township farmer's association. "I do not believe there is any question of their approval." "It is a question in my mind," said another farmer near Greens Fork whether the foreign countries might not retaliate by excluding our products. I do not know what their situation is. nor how our market with them it. but I think w should conSider that possibility also." Products on which an embareo was asked are wool, butter, hides, all keenly affected by foreign competition, and cotton seed oil, long staple cotton, and lemons. Announcement was made late Friday after a cabinet meeting on this subject, that the administration would take some steps officially to relieve the situation.- An emergency relief measure is favored however, rather than an embargo. FARMERS CONSIDER FERTILIZER PRICES Latest prices on fertilizer are $21.60 a ton for 16 per cent acid geods, according to the statement of E. G. McCullom and W. P. Boyle, who are managing the Federated Marketing Service, at the meeting held Friday night in the hourthouse by those interested in forming a co-operative elevator company in JJIchmond. According to other statements, contracts and orders are guaranteed against general pricdeclines, or declines of fertilizer prices of the company filling the order, being passed on to the farmer, not only until the car is shipped, but until the fertilizer is in the farmer's bands. Declines, after shipment is made, however, will have to be collected as a rebate from the company, as bills of lading, which are 6ent at the same time as shipment, must be satisfied at their face value. "In case farmers of any township think prices will go still lower." said McCullom, "they can and should send in their order, let us place it, and delay shipment until the price is satis factory. Then, when that is 60, and the fertilizer is desired, we can be notified, the order will be filled at the prevailing price, loaded and shipped within 24 hours. But orders should be compiled and sent to us now in order to avoid delay in handling later." "The fertilizer companies are com peting among themselves now," said W. P. Boyle, formerly of Union county. "They get together every week and try to fix a price, and before the next day, one will be in our office with a price lower than the agreement. They thought we wouldn't be able to hold out. We have, and now they are the ones who are breaking." GREEN'S FORK VOTES TO BUY FERTILIZER GREENS FORK. March 19. Derision to buy fertilizer through the Fed erated Marketing Service, confirma tion of orders already given, and ar rangements for sending in the order lor the iownship and for handling tb fertilizer, were the accomplishments of the meeting of the Clay township farmers association here Friday night. Price quotations were read, as wa the letter of the county fertilizer com mittee recommending that purchases be through the Federated Marketinz Service, and from companies which had submitted bids through that service. The action taken was in accordance with this letter. As orders given before were subject to confirmation after prices had been quoted, those who were present confirmed, and Theodore Davis with the assistance of Martin Nicholson, was appointed to handle the order for th township, the elevator being unable to do so, as was at first arranged. Asked for information as to analyses best suited to local requirements, the county agent stated that Wayne soil as a rule contains an abundance of all elements except nitrogen and phosphorus, having enough potassium for all crops. The latter element is there fore a needless and extravagant in elusion in fertilizer analyses for the usual Wayne soils. Experiment stations recommend the use of phosphate fertilizers.
