Trainers COUNCIL
FARMERS OF THIRTY STATES
WILL HOLD CONVENTION AT
FORT WORTH, TEX.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 12.-When
the business farmers of thirty states
assemble in Fort Worth September l
for the annual convention of the
Farmers Educational and Copera-
tive Union of America, it will be a
council of war" that will have an
important bearing on the business
interests of the United States.
Unprogramed issues will come up
for first consideration through zee
sity. The financing of the farming
and ranching interests of the nation
through the possible stringency that
the European war may cause in
| America will be the prime object Of
the conference.
So far no set program has been an
nounced for the main body of the
convention, but Charles S. Barrett of
Union City, Ga, who was in Fort
Worth a few days ago, arranging for
the approaching convention, said the
European war and its effect on Amer
lean farming will be one of the most
important matters before the conven-
ton.
No less than 1000 farmers will at
tend this convention. An example of
the interest in the approaching meet
ing was seen at the recent state con-
vention of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of Texas in
Fort Worth, when county delegations
Wed with one another in assurances

ample was equalled in other states
where he has travelled recently and
his reports are encouraging from
coast to coast and from the lakes TO
the gulf.
There are t~wenty-six states that
have organized farmers unions. Ev-
cry one of these will have an official
delegation and an additional delega-
ton of visiting farmers.
Official delegations are governed
in their size by the amount of dues
paid by the various state unions in
to the national unions treasury.
Several states where there are no
organized state unions will have un-
official representatives at the nation
al convention in the persons of farm
ers affiliated with the national con
v~ention, and no doubt new charters
either will be granted or promised at
the approaching national meeting.
The organized states are Arkansas,
Alabama, California, Colorado, Flor
ida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland. Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas. Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin and Washington.
Warehousing and financing of cot
ton and other crops the marketing of
cotton, central selling agencies and
rural credits will be among the chief
topics of consideration in the con-
yention's program.

GIRL MURDERED
LOUISE MICK TAKEN FROM HOME
AT SCHUYLER, NEB., AND
BEATEN TO DEATH.

Schuyler, Neb., Aug. 12.-The mu-
tilated body of Miss Louise Mick, the
1S-year-old girl who was taken from
her home Sunday night by a kid
naper, was found in a corn1ield north
of Schuyler. The young woman had
been beaten to death with a club.
Frank Heidi, a farm %laborer, has
been arrested. Miss Mick was taken
from her bed and carried away after
her mother and ar aunt had been
bound with wire.
When Ii was first learned that the
Mick home had been entered and
pretty 1S-year-old Louise Mick had
been carried off while her mother and
aunt were bound to their beds, almost
half the population turned out to as
sist Sheriff Adam Kunkle and his
men in the search.
Men armed with shotguns and re-
v~olvers scattered to all parts of this
and adjoining counties on the look
out for clues.
1t was at 2 o'clock in the morning
that Mrs. Mick was awakened by her
daughters cry. She arose quickly
and found herself facing a masked
man. She was bound TO the bed with
heavy wire, and then Miss Louisa
Mick, aunt of the missing girl, was
treated likewise. When Miss Mick
was taken from her home she was
CARRIED only in a thin night dress.
Frank Heidi, who is arrested as a
suspect for the murder of Louise
Mick, was taken out of town shortly
after his arrest to avoid the danger
of l~ynching. He made a statement
to the authorities which indicated an
intention later to make a full con
fession, probably duplicating Other
persons. He served time for the at
tempted wrecking of a Union Pacific
train. He now lives in Omaha and
had been here only three days.
Evidence in the case is that the
girls abductor had kept her in a va
cant house all night, bound and gag
ged, and that he had become alarmed
at the search and killed her in the
expectation of preventing her from
testifying against him. The girl eyi
IDENTIFY had been killed in the vacant
house and the body dragged to the
cornfield, where it was found. The
general belief here is that more thar
one man was concerned in the out
rage and murder.
Mrs. Mick, mother of the murder
ed girl, is very i'll and her death II
expected.

Causes Heavy losses Among Horses
and Cattle I'm Lincoln County.

Canton, Aug. IA sever cpl
demic of anthrax is going around this
section among cattle and horses and
much valuable stock has died of the
disease. In view of the fact hat an
thrax attacks human beings and all
domestic animals, the board of health
of this city is taking precautions to
prevent its spread. Instructions have
been issued by the board to owners
of diseased animals ordering that
they be Immediately killed and Civ
ing directions as to the disposal OF
the Burial of the animals
is forbidden as the disease germs
live long in the ground and endan-
ger the stock in the future. Burning
is the only safe way of disposal OF
the carcass of an animal that has
died of anthrax and all and
other refuse should be similarly de-
stroyed.

The promoters built a stone build

ROAD ENGINEER
Puzzles the People of Rosebud
Towns.

Winner, Aug. 12.-All of the
towns in the Rosebud have been Wis
tied by Col. Thatcher, who styles
himself the worlds greatest good
roads exponent, and who claims to be
promoting a special highway from
Seattle, Wash, to New York City.
The appearance of Col. Thatcher and
of his outfit are not calculated to in
spire confidence in his project, but a
telegram of inquiry to the Seattle
Commercial club brought the infor-
nation that he is a duly authorized
representative.
Col. Thatcher INDUCES in freak
personal attire that suggests the
sheep herder more than a civil en-
gineer. He drives some rickety mules
hitched to a rickety wagon, which is
laden with all sorts of junk.
During the meeting held in the
Rosebud towns no n was able to
get him to say what he desired from
this section in the way of highway
cooperation. He seems impressed
with his o~ratorical ability and insists
on making speeches upon the slight
est pretext. His addresses are lib
orally sprinkled with words, but do
not specify just what he is trying to
do or how he hopes to do it.
