FARMERS ELEVATOR CONVENTION.

Eighteen elevator companies were
represented at the meeting called
for last Thursday at the court
house, by President Burr D. Al
ton of Martin county. This was not
as large a number as was expected,
but doubtless the rains of the early
morning and the evening previous
kept quite number from coming.
1t is probable that the farmers in
general did not look upon the meet
ing as intended for the benefit of any
others than the stockholders and Of
ficers of cooperative companies, but
those who attended heard statements
that concerned every one interested
in the cooperative handling of all
the products of the farm. Possibly
the two most Illuminating talks
were those given by E. G. Dunn Of
Mason City, Iowa, and by Hon.
Henry Feig of the state inspection
department.
Mr.. Dunn's story of difficulties
overcome in the fight of the farmers
Of Iowa for a fair competitive mar
ket was listened to with close at
tention throughout. Not only was
it necessary to fight it out with the
combine of line elevators, but at the
the beginning it was impossible to
get fair show for cars or for ware
house sites from the railroad COM
panies. Finally the way was opened
through the love of fair play shown
by General Manager Stickney of the
Great Western line, to whom Mr..
Dunn gave great credit in the pion-
eer work for q square deal. After
the independent shippers had

State Auditor Iverson made only
a brief talk, incidentally paying
very high compliment to the manner
in which Secretary of State ]. A.
Schmahl was attending to the duties
of his Office. He also made person
al reference to Mayor Philbrick as
former townsman of his, and told
story at his expense, under strict
injunctions of secrecy so far as his
audience was concerned. Mr.. Iver-
son stated that he was a stakeholder
in farmers elevator and was in
hearty accord with the cooperative
idea in their management.
As the writer did not hear all of
the other speakers, we will conclude
this reference to the convention
with the endorsement of the state
ment of Mr.. Howard, that if the
people of the town and country had
known of the interesting character
of the proceedings of the convention
the attendance would have been
much larger.

question involving the payment OF his
insurance policy, it looks as if the

with the county clerk. He finds the
doctor came to his death as the result
of an accidental fall down a stairway
at his home and the effects of the fall
on his circulatory system. The cor
oner finds also that the circulatory
apparatus of the deceased was not in
perfect condition.

TRUSTEES CONVENE
Or. Smith Makes Recommen-
dations for Easthaven
Today.
MUCH CROWDING EXPECTED

The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Eastern Indiana Insane hospit-
al was held today at Easthaven. DIR.
S. z. Smith, superintendent of the in
stitution, made no recommendations
to the trustees for increasing the num-
Der of buildings to be used for quar-
ters for the inmates.
He stated that the heating plant and
the electric lighting plants now in use
were too small to meet the present
requirements and that 1t would be use
less to provide more quarters for the
insane until the capacity of the two
plants had been greatly increased.
Although DIR. Smith made no state
ment to the effect. il is understood
that before next summer the Eastha-
ven insane hospital will be so crowded
that 1t will be absolutely impossible
TO admit new patients. but it will be
impossible to remedy the situation un-
til the heating and electric lighting
plants have been enlarged enough to
warrant the erection of new dormito-
ries for the patients.
The transfer of epileptic patients TO
the new epileptic village near New
Castle. IL was thought would remedy
the congested condition at the East
haven hospital. However. this appears
to have had but little effect on the in
stitution and IL is more crowded now
than any ither time in its history.
