CONSIDERED MONOPOLY
Members Of Company Selling Products

DEBORAH, Dec. Tn the district
court here Judge Hobson decided that
farmers cooperative companies can
not enforce especial requirements from
the membership, but must enter in the
open market for business. the same as
any other concern.
The DEBORAH Farmers COOPERATIVE
Society. organized in 1908. adopted by
laws requiring all members of the COM
pany selling hogs or produce to any
other individual or company to pay

cents per hundred weight. This in eff
feet compelled anyone else in the bust
ness in the territory to pay or 10
cents per hundred more than the farm
ers' company for stock.
Officers of the company went into
the open market and bid for hogs from
owners who were not members OF the
society. Henry Reeves, a buyer, COM
planned that it was combination in
restraint Of trade Judge Hobson per-
petually enjoined the society from con-
Quoting business in this manner.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton and the result will be of interest
thruout the state, as farmers cooper
alive organizations exist in almost
every community in the state. tho
probably few of them have the feature
objected to in this case.

Bodies Of Missing Boys Found.

Ottumwa, Dec. Victor and Elmer
Ekwall. aged 10 and TO- respectively,
who left their home here Sunday morn
ing at o'clock on an all-day hunting
trip, were found in the Des Moines
river at the lower edge Of the second
dam. Gene Shoemate, fellow en-
ploye Of Victor Ekwall at the Ottumwa
Box Car Loader, brought the white,
drawn form of the elder brother to sur
face and later found the body Of Elmer
short distance away.
Thus the convictions Of the search
ing party who secured the woods along
the river from Ottumwa to Chillicothe
were proven. Just how the tragedy oc-
Cured will perhaps never be known.
1t is thought that the two brothers met
death in the icy waters Of the river
within two hours after the time they
left their home, having fallen from the
dam while crossing It.

Besides Accrued Benefits.

Council Bluffs. Dec Great inter-
est is being taken by the farmers in
the vicinity of Treynor, the temporary
terminus of the Iowa & Omaha Short
Line. in the negotiations in progress
for the transfer of that promising rail-
road together with the Atlantic North
ern q Southern to a London syndicate,
OF Philadelphia.
The immediate cause Of the interest
is that practically all of the outstand-
ing bonds of the Short Line are held by
the farmers in the vicinity of Treynor.
who put up the money with which
Colonel Adams has built the road that
far. They wanted railroad over
which they might take their products
to market and Colonel Adams offered
the only known means Of securing 1t.
The money for its construction was
put up almost entirely by the owners
Of farm lands that would be benefited
by the construction Of the line.
The farmers are satisfied that, in a
way. they have secured the worth OF
their money in the construction OF the
line as far as Treynor. where 1t is now
in actual operat ton. Farm lands have
risen in value in that section from IS to
$40 per acre. and in some instances
even more, as the result of the con-
struction of the Short Line.
For my part" declared the owner
of a quarter section OF land between
Council Bluffs and Treynor, i wouldn't
let the line be taken away for all
have put in it and $4,000 additional
figure my land has increased in value
to that extent since the Short Line
was run thru my farm"
There are outstanding, 1t Is under

Short Line for the construction OF the
line. OF the total issue it is said tina,
$4,000 Of the bonds are held by the
farmers along the line and in and
about the town Of Treynor.
Under the arrangement that has
been made with Governor Shaw, these
old bonds are to be paid off, when the
deal has finally been contaminated, at
the rate OF 30 cents on the dollar. In
other words the old bond issue will be
taken up with $4,000 in cash, OF
which $4,000 will be distributed

PARCELS POST CONDEMNED.
Implement Dealers Also Score Far

implement Dealers Also Score Farm
Papers For Carrying Mail Order Ads.
Des Moines, Dec. Tn the parcels
post. farm journals and dishonest ad-
vertising. the Iowa implement dealers
see agencies which will in time kill
the small towns of the state and drive
all the small retail dealers out Of bust
ness. Resolutions condemning the
three were adopted at the convention
session held yesterday afternoon at
the Coliseum.
President W ]. Howard began the
crusade against the parcels post IN his
annual address delivered after calling
the association to order at 1: 30 O'Clock.
He was followed by W. j. Pilking1on,
of Des Moines. who is to appear next
Monday before the senate committee on
parcels post and will tell that COM
mittee Of the dangers the small dealers
face.
Certain farm papers have done a
great deal Of harm to the country
dealer" declared Mr.. Pilkington. who
said he read from the journals adver-
tisements Of catalog houses which. he
said. contained dishonest and mislead
ing katements.
Injury to Small Dealer.
These farm papers have been edu-
eating the farmers to the belief that
the dealers of the small towns have
been robbing them" he continued. by
advocating the parcels post. they have
lined I'D the farmers to demanding such
service. Should this ever be adopted,
it will take the business away from
the small dealer and concentrate 1t In
few large cities. This eventually
means bankruptcy for the small town
dealer When the business Of the small
town disappears, the towns themselves
will go backward and the values of
farm lands will depreciate. Farm lands
in the vicinity Of live towns are worth
from SIS to $50 an acre more than that
near poor cities. The farmer should
learn that by advocating something
which will eliminate the merchant, he
does himself an injury
The convention was addressed by a
large number of delegates discussing
the ten "demandments" of the dealers
and the complaints" of manufacturers
Resolutions were adopted asking every
dealer in Iowa to write to his con
gresham and ask him to oppose the
parcels post. Dishonest advertising was
also scored an da movement was start
ed TO ask manufa cturers who sell tC
dealers to withdraw advertising from
farm journals which print articles det-
rimental to the merchant of the small
town.
