FARMERS T0MAKE
DEMANDS OF G. O.P.
Will Meet In Chicago and For
muIate Planks for Platform.
Favor Johnson.

Mayor Thompson OF Chicago has
wired Secretary Charles Lyman. OF
the national board OF farm organi-
zations, that he will be glad TO place
at the disposal OF the agricultural
leaders who will meet In Chicago
next week one OF the auditoriums
in connection. with the municipal
building. .... t-
II is planned to have about 100
farm leaders, representing thirty-hye
States, at the meetings. A complete
program will be submitted TO the
Republican leaders before the con-
vention assemblies next Tuesday.
VIII Make Demands
The farmers will demand that the
convention write into the platform
the substance OF the questionnaire
recently submitted to the candidates
for the Presidency. thus making II
an article OF political faith.
In addition the farmers will de-
mand that the party pledge itself not
to enact anti-strike legislation or in
terfere In any way win the right OF
workers to quit their employment
either individually or collectively. IL
is contended by the farmers that
privileged big business Is behind the
plan to make striking a felony and
they say IL such special interests
prove their ability to destroy organ
zation labor they will next turn the>f
attention to organized agriculture.
The platform committee OF the ma
tional board will assemble in Chicago
on Friday OF this week, when II will
put the finishing touches on the
"planks" which will be submitted to
the Republican National Convention.

Glee Club Pleases

The Ricketts, Glee Club, which
appeared i'm Morris on Thanksgiving
evening under the auspices of the
Masonic Social organization, gave an
unusual entertainment which was
thoroly enjoyed by the large aud
fence which attended the perform
ance.
The members of the club gave
vocal and instrumental numbers,
performing on banjo, saxaphone, and
piano-accordian. Exceptionally fine
we're the piano-accordian duet played
by ]. E. Ricketts, and G. Verne
Ricketts,, and a vocal solo, "'The Holy
City," sung by Glen R. Menely, a
baritone who won much well-de-
served applause.
The concert was held in the

played for an informal dance. This
was the second of a series Of enter
tainments given by the Masons this
winter.

given as an encore, might we'll be
used as criterion for the singing of
that particular song.
1t was a fortunate occurrence for
the audience that Miss Marion Carly,
Miss Bakers accompanist, was given
an opportunity to appear on the pro-
gram as soloist since her very ex-
cellence as an accompanist made her
work in that capacity unobtrusive.
Her first number was selection
from Lucia arranged for the left
hand; she was called back twice for
encores.
The third member of the trio, Mr..
Alfred Fasano, cellist, was also very
we'll received. AS encores he re-
sponded with the ever popular

ton of his own, called "Serenade Of
June" The "Satyr Motto" was also
Mr.. Fasano's own composition, but
he had requested to have it accredit-
ed to one fictitious "Osanoff" on the
program.
P. E. Miller, chairman Of the Ly-
ceum committee, introduced the
members of the trio. He also an
nounced that the second number in
the course would be the concert given

elementary economic consideration
of the matter. Dumping Ito keep up
prices" would be possible only where
the entire supply Of the product
dumped was controlled by an in
dividual or a few individuals. Fresh
vegetables move into markets from
hundreds and even thousands of
owners and are handled by numerous
dealers. Dumping by any one owner
or dealer would subject him to i'm
mediate and considerable loss, and
the slight price increase that might
conceivably result under unusual
conditions would benefit not the
bumper" but rather his competitors.
With perishables moving as freely as
they do in the United States, from all
parts of the country, shipped to
numerous dealers by thousands of
owners unknown to one another, the
possibility of a monopoly in a mar
ket of any size is practically out of
the question.
SEEKS BETTER DISTRIBUTION
The bureau feels that there are a
number of just causes for criticism
of the distribution practices of the
country and is constantly endeavOr-
ing to secure their elimination, but
where charges are made of conditions
that can not possibly exist great
deal of harm is done and the efforts
exerted to correct the wasteful prac-
tees seriously hampered. When the
misapprehensions regarding market
ing practices shall have been laid to
rest along with the ghost of the
dumping" bugaboo, the cooperation
necessary to reorganize the mach
inery Of marketing better to meet our
rapidly changing economic require
ments will be given in largest mea-
sure. In most instances these mis-
apprehensions will fade away into
thin air with the application of some
dispassionate and independent think
ing.

FOUND TO BE GOSSIP

The story was recently circulated
that 80 carloads of potatoes had been
willfully tossed into the Delaware
River near Wilmington, Del. The
bureau traced the statement to it's
only possible source and proved that
it had absolutely no foundation in
fact. One railroad man had informed
another railroad employee that while
in Jersey City, some time previous,
he had heard the dumping of perish
able food discussed (although he
himself had never witnessed such
dumpings during Is years of rail-
road experience). The second rail-
reader embellished the report for
dramatic effect, and related it to a
third person. The third added few
details for local color and passed the
canard to fourth, the fourth to a
fifth, and so on until it was stated
as a positive fact that 80 carloads Of
potatoes had been dumped into the
Delaware River. That fabrication
has been read or heard by thousands
of people, and ninety-nine in every

it.
The Baltimore & Ohio, the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad, and the
Pennsylvania system are the only
transportation lines in the vicinity
Of the scene Of alleged dumping
Officials of these railroads character
lied the story as a pernicious false
hood, and the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania system, which handles the bulk
of the potato shipments at Whining
ton, proved that during the month
prior to the report only II cars of
potatoes had arrived over their lines
for delivery to receivers in that city.
There is but one circumstance I'M
der which veracity can attach to any
dumping allegation, and that is
where a car of produce consigned to
a commission man or buyer is re-
fused and left to stand on the track
to the point of deterioration. When
the health authorities are informed
of the presence of the decayed food
they order it to be disposed Of as a
matter of protection of public health.
Yet, for commission man or buyer
to pursue such tactics would immedi-
ately lay him open to accusation Of
fraud and his business career would
be short lived, for certainly no pro-
Queer would thereafter deal with
him.
Not only have Investigations of
such allegations proved them to be
without foundation in fact, but their
absurdity is patent from the most

BIG SPIDER WRONGLY NAMED
Insect Found in the Southwestern
States and in Mexico Not Really
TarantuIa.

The famous tarantula, sometimes
represented as one Of the terrors Of
the arid portions of the Southwest N
states and northern Mexico, is not
really, it seems, the tarantula of his
tory and of fable.
An eminent authority in such mat
tiers, in remarking that the tarantuta Is
a spider, says of that terrifying crea-
ture that it is the Lycosa Tarantula,
a species of spider found in some OF
the warmer parts of Italy and Spain.
When full grown it is about the size
It's bite was at one time supposed to
be dangerous and to induce kind of
dancing disease" but now it is known
not to be worse than the sting of a
common wasp.
1t is an old fable, extending to re-
hottest times, that the bite of this
spider would produce epilepsy or a
strange dancing mania in it's victims
and that this epilepsy or madness could
be relieved only by particular kind
of music. The tarantula of Italy and
Spain-and 1t is found in those cOun-
tries today-has hairy legs with black
markings on them.
1t is very likely that when the early
Spanish explorers came upon the great
spider of the Southwest, and seeing
a good deal Of resemblance to the tar
antula of the Old World, those explor-
ers, not being entomologists, called the
new spider tarantula. And The name
has persisted.
