EDNUNDS, NJTED
STATESMAN, dead
Former Vermont Senator
Succumbs After Long
Illness, 81 Years Old
WAS COMMENDED
BY GENERAL GRANT

PASADENA. Cal, Feb. 2s.--George F.
Edmunds, formerly United States sens-
Tor from Vermont, died here yeste day,
following a long illness. He was ninety
one years old.
Mr. Edmund was Senior Senator from
Vermont from 1866 to 1894. acquiring
such a reputation as a statesman that
on two occasions in the early sos his
name was presented in the Republican
National Convention as a candidate for
the presidential nomination. The first
time. in 1880, he received only thirty
four votes, but in 1884, ninety three
votes were cast for him. President
Grant publicly acknowledged that Mr..
Edmunds was one OF the men 10 whom
he was most indebted for counsel.
Born on a farm. at Richmond. Vt,
February !, 1928, he studied and prac-
ticed law in his native town, and in
is5i he removed TO Burlington. He be-
came speaker OF the House and p-esi-
dent OF the Senate OF the Vermont
LEGISLATURE. In March, 1866, he was
appointed TO supply the vacancy In the
United Stales Senate created by the
death OF Solomon Foot and with his
first speech, during the services COM
memorative OF his predecessor, he
stamped himself upon the Senate as a
man Of keen intellect and power.
lie took a leading part in the discus
slons OF the Senate during the turbu-
lent reconstruction days and was active
as one OF his party leaders in the i'm
peaehment Of President Johnson. When
Hayes and Tilden were contesting the
presidential election returns in 1916
Senator Edmunds was one Of the cleo
toral committee which placed Hayes In
the White House.
He was unanimously elected nresi-
dent protempore Of the Senate when
Vice President Arthur was called TO the
White House by the assassination OF
President Garfield AS a parliamentar-
ian he gained high repute ANY member
who ignored the rules would promptly
invoke the Vermonter's biting satire.
In 1882 he introduced a measure for
the suppression OF polysamy in Utah
and the dfsfranchisement Of those who
followed il. This act. which came to
be known as the Edmunds act, was
brought before the Supreme Court and
upheld in decisions that were given IN
a series Of cases In the year before ne
voluntarily retired from the Senate, hC
closed his long political career by help,
ing TO draw up that famous antitrust
law which bears the name OF the sher'
man act

HOW A FEDERATION GETS RE-
SUITS
In Iowa, where I am a member of
county farm bureau, there have
been farm bureaus and county
agents for several years. But with
the war there came rapid growth
of the county-agent idea until with
in few months Iowa had placed an
agent in every county. Two months
later there was farm bureau in
every county-the first state in the
nation to accomplish this. Each farm
bureau was composed Of anywhere
from $50 to 1000 farmers, organized,
with dues paid, and with a county
agent working for them.
In December, 1918, a meeting was
held at Marshalltown to perfect a
state organization of all these county
organizations. Mr.. Howard was
elected as president. In the spring
of 1919 J. w. Coverdale, of Iowa

prices, then, Of course, We'll cooper
ate by buying from them.
"But if they cannot do this, then
some other organization must be
brought into existence that will. You
can make up your mind that this is,
coming. Would you rather that these
farmers friends and neighbors
do the organizing-or would you
rather that some other organization
than your local farm bureau come
In and organize for your"
Here's the trouble. These business
men want to cooperate with the farm
ers-but they want the farmers to
do all the cooperating for the bene-
ut of the business men.
These are only minor difficulties"
said Mr.. Coverdale. "They will all
be ironed out. The farm bureaus
and the state declarations are here to
stay"
Almost overnight, with the spread
of the county-agent movement and
the formation of the county farm
bureaus, have come these state fed
erations of farmers. AS swiftly and
as surely will come the national or
ganization. No one man is respon-
sible, no one big appeal, other than
that of wartime good production,
which brought the emergency county
agents. The federated farm organ
izations arrived as a by-product of
war days because the time was ripe
for them and the ground was all pre-
rod

ton and the county farm bureaus as
foes to legitimate business interests.
A committee was sent to bring Gov
erdale back to the meeting to answer
these charges.
A BY-PRODUCT OF WAR DAYS
The charges mainly conferred
round the fact that the farm bureaus
were putting in too many coopera-
tive-marketing enterprises or CO.
operative stores, and so on. One
man was disgruntled because the
Iowa Wool Growers Association.
fostered by the federation, had re-
fused to do business with a firm of
wool buyers in his town. In another
county the farm bureau had bought
a carload Of barbed wire itself instead
of buying it through the local dealer.
But the farmers saved four cents a
pound, it seems. In Harrison county
three cooperative elevator men there
were up in arms.
These and smaller things were all
brought up at the conference.
why put in so many cooperative
organizations? they asked. ''Why
not use the local merchant? Why
not do some cooperating with our
town business firms already in exist
ence?"
IT want you to understand that the
purpose Of the federation is not to
put middlemen or dealers anywhere
out Of business, but to get service, "

GREAT PUBLIC HEALTH
CAMPAIGN NEXT YEAR
Minnesota Public Health Association
Will Ask Everyone to Learn
Health Condition

An opportunity to learn their per-
sonal health needs and how to
remedy physical defects will be Civ
en- to every one of the 100000
men, women and children of Min
nesota next year, by the Minnesota
Public Health Association.
The most extensive and intensive
public health movement ever con-
Quoted in this state is provided for
in the 1920 program of the volun-
tary health organization, which was
announced by DR.. H. w. Hill, execu-
tive secretary this week.
Such enlargement of the Mime
sofa Public Health Associations &C
tivities depends on the success of the
present Red Cross Christmas Seal and
Health Bond sales drive to raise the
states minimum allotment of $780,
900. Reports from the eighty-six
counties to Otto F. Bradley, state
campaign director, indicate that the
required amount will be raised by
Christmas Day, when the sale closes.
Minnesota's "War for Health" will
be waged in every county in the state
by county health associations, under
the direction Of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health Association, with which
they are affiliated. The work in each
county will be financed by funds rails
ed in that county by the sale of
Christmas Seals and Health Bonds.
Every Minnesotan will be asked
to learn his or her health condition
through special examinations, clinics
and health surveys to be conducted
in every county next year. The work
will be in charge of leading physi-
clans, surgeons, dentists, nurses and
other health experts of the state.
Major features of the 1920 pro-
gram of the Minnesota Public Asso-
citation are:
Holding of at least four clinics in
every county;
Conducting of examinations for
adults for at least one week in every
county;
An intensive statewide campaign
to produce legislation which will
establish sanatorium in every coun-
ty;
Special provision in every commun-
ity for the care of the poor who are
in ill health, through the co-opera-
ton of county medical associations,
the health association defraying the
expenses;
Expansion of the existing activi-
ties of the state and county associa-
lions which include educational, pre-
ventive and remedial work.
The health program in Minnesota
conducted in 1919 by county health
associations in each county included
public health, nurse aid, children's
clinics, tuberculosis clinics, tuber-
culosis surveys, health surveys, nut
ritional clinics, nutritional classes,
dental clinics, psychiatric clinics,
maternal welfare clinics, health
lectures, health instruction in
