TO CORNER THE WHEAT.
Man Would Form Giant
Trust by Mail.

A man named A. J. Williams, of Wa
kita, Ok. who signs himself secretary
of the Farmers Cooperative Union of
America, is sending out circulars to
farm papers and farmers throughout
Oklahoma Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
North and South Dakota and Minneso-
ia, asking them to hold their wheat and
force the price uptc $1-00 bushel The
following is the circular:
The Farmers Cooperative Union OF
America has for its aims not only the
hetterment of the conditions of the
farmer, but all who on him depend
We full we'll realize that when the pro-
ducts of the farm sell for less than the
cost of production and interest on the
capital invested that farming is on the
retrograde and every Industry in the
United States is likewise affected.
1t is not the purpose of this orgaui-
cation to antagonize any other industry.
but to secure for themselves a price for
their products that will enable them to
put their business on paying basis
with other industries in the United
States. This is an era of organizat ton
on the part of capital and confederation
on the part of labor. 1 wish to state to
you in the language of Governor Fer
guson of Oklahoma, That if Crganiza-
ton is needed in any department. in any
interest it certainly is needed among the
farmers of the Mississippi valley The
object of the Farmers Cooperative
Union of America in issuing this bulls-
tin is TO ask every farmer in the United
States to hold their wheat until it Will
bring $1.OO per hushel on the Chicago
market We believe this will be equity
and justice to both producer and con-
sumner.
The wheat crops Of France, Germany
anG Russia are in poorer condition
than they have been for many years.
The wheat crop of the great wheat belt
of the United States is about 20 or 10
per cent of an average crop. The visi-
BILE supply is almost exhausted and the
demand is greater than ever before in
the history of the United States; in fact
all other classes are better paid than
the farmer. We do not believe this is
right and yet as a class we have no one
else to blame for this condition of af-
fairs but ourselves. We need to Coop
perate and stand together for price
for our products as other business
men,"

DAMAGE RUMOR CAN DO.
A Graphic Illustration and the Cost
to Refute It.

Between the incendiary who fires
his neighbor's barn in secret vengeance,
and the Worthy who starts a run" on
a Bank with malicious gossip, there is
only a technical difference.
Gossip with-a-purpose has too often
been used to stab the character and to
wreck fortunes.
A vivid Illustration of the gross in
justice -umor can do is seen in the
Force" Food Company's advertisement
of this date. wherein a reward of $1,000
is offered for the conviction of the par
ties who initiated the suggestion that
Force" was drugged.
A further offer of $1,000 for evidence
that single package of the fifty mil
lion sold contained anything except
Wheat, Barley and Table Salt is, of
course, complete refutation of the ru-
NOR. even if the State Supervision of
foods was not in itself ample protec-
ton.
People who love fair play in business,
as well as in other matter, will read
with Indignation that it has cost The
Force" Food Company over $4,000 to
publish a -refutation OF this 'rumor' in
the newspapers of the United States
and Canada. and possibly as much
more in loss of sales resulting from the
baseless gossip which did the harm.
The abSurdity of the rumOr is appar-
ent when it is known that the public
has consumed fifty million packages of
Force" without a single instance of
any ill effect upon anyone of the users.
The Force Co. are evidently suffer
ing the usual penalty of success.

Mr. Schell Ought to Belong to Horti-

Secretary Barnes of the State Horti-
cultural society returned Monday from
his vacation, and had a few things to
say about the controversy between him.

missioners.
Mr.. Barnes declares that Mr.. Schell of
Wichita, whom the fair commissioners
want to put at the head of the Kansas
fruit exhibit viii not be Endorsed by
majority of the trustees of the Horti-
have announced that unless Mr.. Schell
Is Endorsed by the Horticultural society,
he will not be appointed.
Since the secretary of the commits
sion has seen fit to make public the
personal letter which 1 wrote" says
Mr.. Barnes, I don't know that there
is any reason why | should withhold
any criticism care to make. AS far as
l am perfectly willing to stand by it.

letter which / would change, and that is
the one in which it might be taken that
l express desire for the appointment
L stated that the secretary of the HOrti-
cultural society should be in charge OF
pointment, but l did so intending it
should be taken as sort of a thiEd per-
son reference. / believe that the Horti-
cultural socity should be in charge of
the exhibit. I have not time to devote
to this exhibit. and even if 1 should be
appointed, as l do not expect to be, it
would have to be merely as head. l
have not time to spend in st. Louis do
ing the actual work.
Personally 1 consider Mr.. Sche1 a
fine man. and co not doubt he can get
plenty of endorsements. but he will not
get the endorsement of the majority of
the trustees of the horticultural society
because he is not member of the hor-
ticultural society. He is nursery man,
not hOrticulturist.
This commission was appointed by
Governor Stanley Mr.. Luling was
made secretary out of compliment to
Stanley because they are both from the
same town. Schell is also from the
same town. Governor Stanley is a
stakeholder in Schell's nursery. Is it
any wonder that the commissioners and
Mr.. LUlirg should try to get the job
for him2 He was a Wichita applicant,
and Mr. Luling and Mr.. Stanley win no
doubt both try to land him the job But
l have heard from several of the trus-
tees of the horticultural society. and
