made by W. d. Bentley. state agent OF

cepted by the directors Of the CONNER
cial and Farm Bureau at a meeting Fri

Communities all over the state have
been 'stung' by canning factory pro-
moters, said Mr. Bentley. and thou
sands Of dollars have been spent for
plants that are lying idss What we
propose is a canning factory on every
farm and, strange to say, the plant
which we establish costs only so cents.
We teach the girls to put up com
merical article. as good as the best
factory turns out and which finds a
ready market. Many of the members
Of our girls canning clubs have made
considerable money on their product
The whole system has been thoroughly
worked out and II has proved a sue
cess.
Our women agents go among the
farmers, organize the girls into clubs,
instruct them how to plant their gar
dess, keep IN touch with them til the
orcp is made and then teach them the
art Of canning. Tomatoes are put up
in tin cans. soldered, labeled and the
clubs have a unSorm brand There is
no possibility Of a canning factory OF
this kind proving failure and 1t is
sure to add to the profits of the farm.
The girls club work is carried on
through an agent in the same manner
as the demonstration farm work

WOMAN AN ACC0MPLICE
IN NINE STOCK CONSPIRACY
Places Large Orders, Causing Rise,

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Two stock ex-
change firms Of this city have been vic
tlmlzed in a conspiracy to boost the

Extension Nothing is known of the iden-

spoculator and placed large orders for
the stock and then disappeared.
Jumbo Extension originally was pro-
NOTED by Sheftels e Co., In which George
Graham Rice, who served a term In the
penitentiary for his crooked Wall street
operations, was the moving spirit. Sew
eral years ago trading in Jumbo was in
vcstlgated, but the scandal was straight
ened out. A few months ago tip was
circulated that the stock would advance.
At that time II was selling around 10
cents a share. Presently the price was
boosted to 20 cents and speculation be-
came lively. A week ago the mysterious
woman began placing her buying orders.
On Saturday the stock Jumped to S1.5O, on
Monday l.75, yesterday 81,
The two stock exchange houses found
IL difficult to execute their buying orders
and the holders of the stock kept It off
the market. In the meantime the woman
had vanished. The curb association is
investigating the case.
