MEAT PRODUCERS MEET.
Organization For Crawford County
Formed Here on Saturday.

The Corn Belt Meat Producers As
ISOLATION held their meeting Saturday
afternoon in the City Hall as adver-
tised. This meeting was not as large
ly attended as it should have been,
due largely we believe to the. fact
that farmers and feeders do not un-
derstand the work this association is
doing in their behalf. The meeting
was addressed by acting President and
State Organizer. A. Sykes of Ida
Grove. The speaker reviewed the
work done by the association the past
year. showing how it had assisted in
defeating the clause in the Rail Road
Rate Bill. which was intended to cut
off the return pass from the shipper
and make him pay his way home.
He also showed how this association
had succeeded in placing the cost Of
inspection Of meats and fine stock
upon the government instead of on
the producer. which meant saving
of 81. 1000. 900. 90 annually to the pro-
ducers. He spoke at some length on
the cooperative Live Stock Commits
sion Co. established by this associa-
ton, saying that for the month of
December they sold at Chicago 121
loads of stock thus saving to the
feeders of Iowa over 100000 in CON-
missions alone as this firm is selling
stock at $500 per. car less than the
old time firms and at the same time
giving the best of satisfaction to their
customers.
He explained how if member only
shipped 2 cars to this firm. he coule
pay his annual dues and have one dol
lar left. He also spoke of the work
the association is just taking up ir
regard to reduction in the freight
rate on live stock in Iowa. saying
that this association is filing a com.
plant and with it petition with the
Iowa Railroad commission and also
with the Interstate commission asking
for rate on live stock at least as
low as the state rates in Illinois anc
Missouri and showing that the rate ii
Iowa is from rs per cent to 40 pei
cent higher than the rates in these
states which would make difference
of from SIS. 90 to $l4.00 per car load.
This is sample of what this ascot.
alton is doing for the farmers of the
state and we believe every farmer
should join In and help it along. Ar
election of officers was held in which
Mr.. Thos. Meehan was elected Pres.
|iden. and Fritz Mundt Secretary and
the Crawford County Association was
thus organized.

On Wednesday noon blaze broke
out in the living room at Will Laub's
livery barn caused by defective flue.
The blaze was extinguished before
any considerable damage had been
done, but not until after the employees
had been given a great scare. They
tell us that Richard johnson went
better than 10 seconds as he sprinted
the hundred yards from the barn to
the opera house corner but he was
headed off before the fire alarm was
sounded so that few of our people
knew that the blaze had taken place.
