TO PLAN CAMPAIGN A call for a meeting of county officials and directors to be held atl o'clock Wednesday , afternoon In the courthouse, was the first action of Everett Hunt, of Whitewater, after .Ills re-election as county farm bureau president, at the annual convention held in the high school auditorium Saturday evening. The Wednesday meeting will transact routine business and plan the annual membership campaign. . .. .

Addresses by Earl Crawford, state highway commission member and former district farm bureau director, and by L. A. Pittinger, present director and representative efoct from Delaware county, were fratures of the special meeting. Two motion picture films, secured from Purdue by the Community Service, were shown for entertainment. The meeting opened with a short concert by the Beeson trio, of Webster, following which Mr. Hunt took the chair and announcer! the appointment of nominating and resolution committees. The reporti of both committees were adopted without change In addition to Mr. Hunt, who was reelectad, new officers were recommended and elected as folfows: R. B. Morrow, secretary-treasurer (two offices combined by action of the convention) ; Warren Dennis,, Dalton, first vice president: Isaiah EMcker, Dublin, second vice president; Horatio King, Webster, third vice-president; Mrs. Clara Crowe, Boston, fourth vice president. Adopt Resolutions. Resolutions were adopted-urging appointment of township legislative committees to cooperate with.i the state k farm bureau legislative committees to co-operate with the state farm bureau J legislative committee, expressing appreciation of the city business men's aid of the county fair and the corn show, and pledging support , and approval of the accomplishmits of the ttate organization. The full text of the resolutions is as follows: "We urge the co-operatian of the

county and legislative cqmniittees

with the state commltte In consideration of legislation effecting education, roads, drainage and last but not least, taxation. "Whereas the two candidates for speaker In the house in the coming legislature are men of the farm bureau of this district, and whereas we know them to bewell qualified for this position, therefore we uprge the Hearty support of the farm bureau in their behalf. Appreciate C-ooperation. "We oppreciate the help and cooperation of of the business men of Richmond and various clubs who have aided and supported "us in having a county fair and corn show. "We are proud of the accomplishments of the state and national organization, and we pledge them our

..continual support."

- Need Civic center. A civic center in each rural community where farmers can gather, learn to play together and achieve an educa

tion in community interests and civic matters, was the remedy proposed by L. A. Pittenger, principal speaker ofj the evening,- for modern selfishness, which he said, is the principal curse of our present civilization. Greater co-operation, a sense of civic responsibility, a broad patriotism, which wil realize and accept citizenship duties, were ' the pleas of the speaker. Citing as an example his own experience when he consented to run for representative, "and had to canvass the whole county to get the voters to the primaries, and canvass it again to drag them to register, and finally a third time to get them to vote," Mr. Pittenger scored the laxness which makes not attempt to remedy conditions, yet complains if they are unsatisfactory." If people have not enough interest in their country to vote at elections, Mexico or Russia is good enough for them." After referring to evidences of selfishness in national life, in the monopolistic control and power for which

corporations are scheming the doml-' nance of the labor element, evidenced in the Adamson law, legislative privileges for which all classes ask, the avoidance of taxation through hidden poverty. Intangibles, non-taxables and declaring of stock dividends, Mr. Pittenger again dropped into the concrete with the observation, "After all no public official can rise, far above the level of the people who elect him, and our biggest job is to get busy at home, break, down - the walls between us and our neighbors, get together and talk things over, learn to think together, to play together and to act together. "In many communities the only center is the church. We need also a play for social.' gatherings for moral amusements, to hold our boys and girls. " Community Frolic. Much interest was shown by the audience in Mr. Pittenger's description

of his own community, early efforts at social intercourse and the difficulties

encountered, and the present condi

tion, with the whole community planning to entertain a large group of the poor children of Muncie at Christmas time, at a community, frolic, for which the manual training class of the school is making the stage properties and members of the community furn

ishing the talent

"Don't saw wood on the back Bid 3

"We have had enough experience with the organization now to prove it pays in dollars and cents alone, to say nothing of its other advantages. Our latest and biggest work Mas been the establishment of the co-operative commission firm at Indianapolis which last week marketed 80 carloads of stock while the next biggest business done by any firm was only 13 carloads. Since establishment of the farmers' firm, the price of stock at Indianapolis

has averaged 25 cents nearer the Buf

falo price, an advantage which the 'rider on a free ticket.' the farmer who

Is not a farm bureau member, enjoys! as well as the member. "When we have firms at all the markets and can sell direct to the packer, the unwarranted and excessive fluctuatios in price will be eliminated and the price stabilized.'' 4 A surplus of several hundred dollars in the treasury was reported by R. B. Morrow, treasurer, as contrasted with a deficit a year ago. An attendance of about 250 men women and children, from all parts of the county, attended the meeting, and remained to the very last to view th? comedy film with which the meeting ended.
