FARMERS WOULD FIX PRICES
State Organization to Control and
Market All Produce.

SCate organization to COntrOl ana
Market All Produce.
Baraboo, Wis, May 24.-The Amer
lean Society of Equity, an organiza-
ton composed of farmers in WiscOn-
sin, convened in this city for a two
days session. Over 100 delegates
from all over the state were in at
tendance. The object of the meeting
is to control the supply Of all products
till the markets are ready for it and
in this way bring to the producers all
the benefits that are derived by others
from storing vegetables, fruits, eggs,
and the like at time of plenty and
low prices for a time of scarcity and
high prices. 1t is distinctly stated
that the new organization is not to
be trust, but it is proposed to elimin-
ate the individual as a marketer of his
products and market them through the
association, though they may reach
the consumer ultimately through the
same channel as now.
One Of the results Of the new sys-
TEN of marketing viii be the greater
uniformity of prices and an increased
consumption of all products comprised
in the class over which this proposed
association will have control. For in
stance, the producers themselves or
their association will control the sup
ply until the demand is ready for it.
Then there will be no 10 cent eggs in
the summer and 80 cents in the win
ter But only enough eggs will he
marketed during the harvest season to
supply the demand at a fair price
The balance will go into storage for
the producers account, or in store
houses owned by the producers. and
will come on the market in the winter
at about % cents a dozen The uni
form and moderate prices will induce
much larger consumption.
With apples it will be similar The
time when growers get S10O a barrel
in the fall and consumers pay IS 90
in the winter will be past, and so on
down the line on other products.

MONEY IN pARLoR ORGAN
Robbers Forced Secret from the De-
mented Son Neighbors are
Under Suspicion.

Alma, Wis, May 2S.-Not many new
developments have come out in the
robbery and attempted murder case at
Gilmanton. The victim, Ole Skakarum.
is so years old. He lives with a
demented son, one and one-half miles
from Gilranton in a secluded farm
house.
Early in the morning he was awak.
ened by pounding at the door and on
coming out was shot through the right
lung and struck on the head. The rob
bers then forced the son to tell where
the money was, which they found in
a parlor organ. After they left the
house the son went to a neighbor who
telephoned for the doctor and went to
render the injured man aid. The rob-
bers had handkerchiefs tied over their
faces and one of them wore a black
hat and the other a brown one.
Skaharum had recently inherited S4,-
600 from a son who died in Colorado
and the robbers were after that money
but got only $3.50.
The work bears the earmarlzs Of
amateurs and it is evident that the
robbers and would-be murderers were
we'll acquainted with the premises ana
the habits and circumstances of their
victim. Suspicion points to parties in
the neighborhOOd who are being
watched and arrests may follow soon.
The sheriff and undersheriff from this
place are on the ground and the local
authorities are aiding them in bring
ing the guilty to terms.
