FARMERS WANT
COOPERATIVE STORE
capitalization of 100000 Aim of
Committee Named to Investigate
Possibilities of Enterprise

Pullman may have in the near
future a farmers cooperative store,
with capitalization of 100000 or
more, and carrying everything in the
line of general machandise and ma
ehlnery. The matter has been taken
under consideration by the Pullman
local of the Farmers Union, and a
committee consisting of DR.. e. Ma
gulre, II. w. Hodges and J. S. KLEIN
gard was named at the meeting of
the local Saturday to investigate the
feasibility OF the plan, with instruc-
ions to report back to the local at
the earliest possible moment.
IL is claimed that one prosperous
farmer has pledged himself to take
$1o'OOO in stock, with many others
olamoring for small blocks, and it is
believed by the committee that little
ulIiiculty will be encountered in rails
ing substantial sum to start the en-
terprise.
Inc members of the Farmers
Union point to the success of like en-
lerprises in other communities as an
inalcation of the probable success of
the local undertaking, and interest
IN the store. among the farmers, is
keen.

Maud Powell, the world famous
violinist, will give a concert at the
college auditorium on Tuesday, April
l, at s; Is p. m. Nine. Powell is con-
coded by the world to be the greatest
living woman violinist.
What is in store for Maud Powell's
audience can be imagined only by
those who have heard her or have
read the tributes paid her by the crit
les of all countries.
1t is said that while Maud Powell
delights even the most critical of
music loving audiences by her pro-
gram of violin selections, she touches
so thoroughly the hearts and minds
of her hearers that even those who,
as rule, are Indifferent to the
charms of music, become equally en-
thusiastic when she plays.
She will be assisted by Axel
Skjerne, the Danish pianist, who will
contribute several piano solos.
Tickets are on sale at Watts phar-
macy at $1.00. AS college students
will be admitted through the student

NEW QUOTA FOR
LOCAL RED CROSS
Three Hundred Chemise Must BE
Completed and Interest
Is Lax.

A heavy quota of 800 muslin
chemise was sent the local Red Cross
branch last week. A number of these
garments have been taken out to be
made in homes and the women's So
ciety Of the Federated church took
90 of them but there are not enough
women coming to the rooms to sew.
This work has to be done at the
earliest possible moment and it will
take more faithful attention by Pull

There are still few sweaters TO
be taken out and there are still a
number of good knitters who are not
knitting.

A number of articles belonging to
townspeople which were loaned dur
ing the influenza epidemic are still
at the Red Cross rooms. These
should be called for next week as all

HEAVY HAIL STORM
NORTH OF MINOT
Thousands of Acres of Rye Ruined by
Hail Early Friday Morning but
Heavy Rain More than Offsets
the Loss.

A very heavy hail storm ruined
several thousand acres Of rye in a
district extending from west to east,
north Of Burlington and Minot early
last Friday morning. The wheat was
not far enough advanced to receive
any damage in particular, but the
rye was broken to the ground and is
almost a total loss. The hail stones
were very large, breaking out many
window lights on the north and west
sides of the farm homes. The John
Kells residence north Of Burlington
was pounded by the heavy stones until
the dents in the siding look like some
one had been using a hammer on the
building. Nick and Frank Clouse,
Eugene Landphere and scores of 9TH
ers suffered damage to their rye crops.
The hail extended over into the Lynch
country and took practically every
field of rye in it's path. Mrs. Lang,
who owns large farm south of Glen
burn, suffered heavy loss. The rain
in that district was the heaviest of the
season. In the vicinity of the Yuly
farm north Of Burlington, the rain
that morning was estimated at three

the grasshoppers are getting in their
terrible work in the vicinity of Up

lions and while the farmers are put
ting out poison as fast as the county
can furnish it, there has not been
enough poison to go around. Mr.. Err

The crops in general are looking

inches. The low spots in the fields
today contain water. Nick Clouse

walked out Of his back door to give
attention to his little chickens, and
stepped in fully a foot of water The
chicks were all drowned While the
hail did some damage, it is offset
many times by the heavy rain which
insures a heavy wheat crop.
John Kells, a Burlington farmer
had withdrawn his hail insurance a
day or two before the storm, as he had
been told that it might cost him as
high as seven dollars an acre to in
sure his crop. He lost 115 acres of
rye, but will summerfallow, the field

The cabin, first discovered by Captain
James Brown. who. in lS47, came to

Miles Goodyear, mountaineer and

city of ogden is located.
The cabin. known as "Utah's first

revealed that the Y-shaped cartilage
