LAND-DILKS COMPANY ACTION FOR $5,000 DAMAGES IS OPENED Trial of the $5,000 suit for damages against the city of Richmond, brought by the Land-Dilks company because of a flood, said to have damaged stock in the basement of the factory, opened in circuit court Tuesday. Attorneys Johnson and Shlveley represented the Land-Dilks company. The city was represented by Attorneys Harlan and: Brown and City Attorney Will Kelley-I The opening statement of Henry U. Johnson showed that the company would ask damages on the grounds that the sewer established and maintained by the city for the drainage of th eterritory adjacent to the factory, was insufficient for the purpose and that because of the water backing up and running into the factory basement considerable damage was sustained by the company. Complains of Obstruction Refuse dumped at the mouth of a sewer had obstructed its flow, Mr. Johnson said the evidence would show. Attorney Will Kelley, In presenting his opening statement, said the defense would show that the natural drainage of the region was toward the point at which the Land-Dilks factory was located; that the ground near the factory had not been filled in to the street level, a precaution that should have been taken, and that if this had been done there would have been no occasion for the flood in the basement. "Contributory negligence" on the part of the company was the basis of the city's defense, according to his statement. FOUND NOT GUILTY Joe Elstro, farmer, living on the Cart Road, north of Richmond, was found not guilty when arraigned on an assault and battery charge in police court Tuesday. Elstro had been accused of throwing eggs at a party of motorists which stopped In front of his home Sunday evening. Elstro maintained that the lights had been turned out on the car. Witnesses for the defense said that the car was stopped because the battery was bad and they were attempting to, adjust it. VIOLATES AUTO LAW Harold Barnard, charged with driving past a street car while it was discharging passengers at North Ninth and E streets, June 6, pleaded not guilty Tuesday, but was convicted and fined $1 and costs.

Great Interest Shown In Historical Pageant Great interest is being shown in the historical pageant to be given by the Townsend branch of Community Service. The rehearsals give promise of a splendid musical treat aside from the educational and entertaining values. There are 17 principal characters with a large supporting cast. Two of the numbers which the choral will use are arranged by the eminent negro composers, Harry T. Burleigh and Nathan iel Dett. Because of his sympathetic understanding of the tragedy in the life of the slaves, Stephen Foster wrote many songs which are now regarded as folk songs. Several of these have been arranged for orchestration under the title, "Stephen Foster Gems" and will be played by the community orchestra during the pageant. Attention of the public is again called to the fact that the original date of June 15 has been changed to June 22, at the Coliseum. Because of the large seating capacity there will be no reserved seats. ACCEPTS PRESIDENCY OF WOMEN'S COLLEGE (By Associated Press.) PITTSBURG, June 13. Dr. Cora Helen Coolidge. of Fitchburg, Mass., former dean of the Pennsylvania college for women, in a telegram read last night at commencement exercises, accepted the office of acting president of the college until a permanent successor of Dr. John C. Acheson can be chosen. The post was offered to Dr. Coolidge after a meeting of the board of trustees last week. She was dean of the college for 11 years, and was icting president for one year during that period.

The display of lightening to the south all j evening indicated rain and the reports on Monday showed that showers had fallen in spots in the extreme south of Wayne, also in Union county and on south. Mr. Crowe got his rain on Tuesday morning. That is true of any number of Wayne fanners, who neded rain. Wheat receipts have been heavy during the past two weeks at all primary markets, in fact have ruled 50 per cent above the average at this season. Right now, at the lowest point in years, farmers in the winter wheat belt, with a new crop almost ready for the binder, are marketing their reserves of old wheat freely to make a cleanup and possibly to provide space to store the new crop. Farm Bureau Pageant

The first county-wide farmers' or-, be plowed in July or August. If it is ganization, from which the Illinois . intended to plant it to corn the folAgricultural association grew, and the j lowing spring. farm bureau long afterward emerged,! Disking in the spring, the applicawas formed at De Kalb, Illinois, in j tion of fertilizer, and the sowing of February, 1912. Henry H. Parke is sound seed are the chief preventive

accredited with the inception of the association, and with making the first move looking toward a practical farm organization in a speech made from a wagon to a group of harvesters and a thresher outfit, on his farm near noa, 111., some years earlier. It was after dinner and the men were resting in the shade. The men sat around a grain wagon out back of the Parke Vivn aa Vio ctftrv rlina viton ParlrP mT, tno woenn tnncniP or th

He warns the

anv other one thing Is to organize, to raise funds, and to found some sort of permanent organization." The first step was a club formed at Sycamore, followed by similar fanners' club in a few other counties. Mr. Parke did not think these were enough so he worked two or three years for a county wide farm organization, which came in 1912 when the leading business men met with the farmers at De Kalb and the plan was put over. A few other counties organized about the same time. The origi nal body was christened the De Kalb County Soil Improvement association and from this the movement spread in Illinois and to other states. After a time the Illinois counties nAia fnri ssyn t nrl n nH civ -o O rc n err I when there were more than twenty

counties organized, the Illinois agn-idy gram or putrid meat or with intescultural association was organized at'tinal worms. The best treatment is

Urbana. Now there are 95 orVizcd counties in the state. De Kalb to Celebrate While the De Kalb County Soil Im-

provement association is now known! the birds will be cured within twentyas a county farm bureau, the early be-! four hours. In case they are not bet-

ginnings of so many farm associations and co-operative bodies is to be celebrated at De Kalb on Friday, June 30. It will be some celebration, spon sored by the American farm bureau1 and by at least 65 counties in Illinois, which will be represented on the stage and in floats in the pageant. It is said that nearly 2,000 farm men, women and children from 13 north ern Illinois counties are to be actors In the pageant under the tutelage of Miss Nina Lamkin, of New York City. J. D. Billsborrow, of the Illinois U. says it will be the greatest gathering of farmers ever seen in Illinois. Mr. Parke will be the central figure of the program, and the leader of all ceremonies. He and his neighbors who began the farm uplift will be the principal characters in the cast. De Kalb is preparing to entertain the hosts who will make June 30 a gala day in their midst. The Illinois Agricultural association will glean a whole lot of glory and get considerable advertising, in all of which the American farm bureau will share, as the program is advertised as the decennial celebration of the farm bureau in the United States. It is expected that the big guns of the farm bureau, and the most widely known men in our co-operative circles, will grace the occasion by their presence; also that the movie camera men will be on hand to take pictures. It is well to state that at that February meeting in De Kalb funds were guaranteed to run the association for three years and that William G. Eckhardt, first treasurer of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., was employed as the first county advisor. F. M.

PLANS OF U, S. GRAIN GROWERS ARE AIRED BY CHICAGO WRITER

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Frank Ridgway, writing in the Chicago Tribune of June 13, lets in a little daylight on the plans of the United States Grain Growers, Inc., in their preparation to market grain. It seems that James K. Mason, the present vice-president and treasurer, has returned to Chicago from Washington, wher he and ex-Treasurer Eckhardt, of Illinois, had been summoned to appear before a sub-committee of the senate agricultural committee, with books and records, to show receipts, expenditures, etc., in connection with grain grower affairs. While in Washington Mr! Mason in formed the investigating committee

the senat.e that an ex-board of trade? O

operator. Burton F. Hales, of Chicago, had said he would be willing to advance a million dollars toward promoting the sales department of the Grain Growers. This information was given to the press, and appeared in The Palladium on Monday evening. The rest of the story follows as written by Mr. Ridgway: . Ridgeway on Grain Growers "Another stone In the farmers' road to co-operative marketing was turned over yesterday when Burton F. Hales, Chicago capitalist, admitted that he was the man who had said he would back the sales agency of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., the farmer owned grain marketing company. He said he was the "Chicago millionaire" referred to in Washington by James K. Mason, who testified before a committee of the United States senate that the grain growers' new marketing com pany had found a man who had pledgcu l" iumisu u.u V V IU ttiu liXl Ultra marketing their grain." Board Seat Sought "At the co-operative grain organization's offices late yesterday afternoon C. H. Gustafson. president, saii that, while no contract had been signed between Mr. Hales and the U. S. Grain Growers. Inc., the capitalist had promised to furnish $50,000 of the $1,000,000 as soon as the money was needed to start operating the co-operative machine. Negotiations are under way and the contract soon will be signed, he said. To clarify some cf the reports that Mr. Hales was a member of the Chicago Eoaid of Trade, the co-operative grain president said that he had not been a beard of trade operator tor many years, and that when Mr. i Hales v as on the board of trade here ue was a oaney ana malt man. "We do not need this $50,000 to market grain," Mr. Gustafson said, "but to meet membership requirements on the board of trade. We have other arrangements under way for financing the grain in transit. Everything indicates that he will be able to handle grain on the Chicago market bv July 1." Board's Hostility Overcome (i Application for membership of the nT.un..,n,e u- 0- ura'n rowers, inc. Mr. Hales was not certain what would be the outcome of his offer to aid the farmers' co-operative organ(vottnM T V. J 1 . J. A 1 "tt i V investment so far as I am concerned. ;orQf ? vl,". L ev alT ILZi asked specifically whether he decided to back the farmers' organization because he believed in co-operative marketing. It is understood that hi? nephew. G. W. Hales, first became interested in making this loan and was instrumental in his uncle giving a promise to aid the co-operative terminal sales agency. "When the press report came from Washington Saturday connecting thi capitalist with the Board of Trade, farm leaders In Chicago became skeptical, fearing ' that the man who offered to loan the money was not In sympathy with co-operative marketing of farm products. Mr. Hales' statement yesterday concerning his attitude toward co-operative marketing did not relieve the situation any, they say. Not Posted on Plan " 'Of course,' said Mr. Hales, 1 own some small farms and raise thoroughbred cattle as a hobby, and I'm somewhat of a farmer in that way myself. I couldn't express approval or disapproval of co-operative marketing, because I've never looked into it thoroughly.' "Mr. Hales, known in the financial district as a fighter, is active in his 60th year. He formerly represented the P. D. Armour grain concern on the Board of Trade. His firm today owns several elevators." The Women's club of Des Moines has commenced construction of a new club house to cost $150,000. FOR GOOD COAL Just Call J. H.
