Z. F. Armknecht OF Donnelison, Ia, presi'

tho adoption Of a price list. He spoke for
the organization of county associations

ing among the dealers that would do moTe
toward maintaining prices than a uniform
schedule He believed it would also
| strengthen interest In the state associa-
ton.
on Mr. Armknecht's suggestion 1t vas
decided TO delegate to the secretary the
task of developing a sentiment for county
organization.
The committee on constitution and by
laws recommended that these governing
instt1tions be made to conform with those
of the national federation. This comm

The Fall of the Rains.


II was during last August. at a
time when the rice is Towering that
disastrous rains began to food TIE
fields. AS a consequence the crop
rotted, and when harvest time came
it was founI that the yield was only
about u per cent of that output
which Is TO be expected under normal
conditions This yield of from =
to 10 per cent kept the people in
food for month or two. but when
the returning soldiers began TO make
their appearance the visible supply
dwindled rapidly. As result there
are not less than a million people
today who are in the direst need.
There exists Senera;:y a mistaken
Idea that the rice crop, which has
failed. means that a sufficient supply
Of food is not TO be haG in the Island
Kingdom As matter of fact the
rice. which is raised in these PROV
Inces. is not that which is eaten by
the natives for food. The Miyagi,
