MANY FARMERS
ATTEND MEETING
More Than 200 Farmers of Crawford
County Attend Meeting of Farm
Bureau Last Thursday
FLEMING ELECTED PRESIDENT
TheO. Blume, Vice President: Dan Fink,
Secretary; TheO. Witt, Treasurer
Henry Wallace Speaks

One of the best farmers gatherings
ever assembled in Crawford county was
held last Thursday at the Crawford
County Farm Bureau annual meeting.
Over two hundred farmers from all
parts of the county met for the morn
ing and afternoon program which had
been arranged. The interest shown by
the men present, together with the
prominence Of the speakers, is evidence
of the growing strength and possibili-
ties of the farm bureau.
The morning session was opened With
q short talk by Jacob Weiss. Mr.. Weiss
told of the growth of the farm bureau
during it's first two years. Mr.. Weiss
has been president Of the organization
since it's beginning and through his eff
forts and the cooperation of the direct
ors, the farm bureau has grown from
a 200 membership until now it has over
1900 of the most prominent and pro-
gressive Crawford county farmers on
its membership roll.
Committee reports given by Jas. D.
Fleming and Dan Fink showed the
financial standing and the membership
of the organization Jan. 1, 1920,
Other speakers at the morning ses-
sion were Theo. Blume who gave a re-
port of the farm bureau federation
meeting held in Des Moines January
9Th and 9th, and explained the relation
ship of the farmers union and the farm
bureau. County Agent Quist gave re.
port Of the farm bureau work for 1870,
explaining the county agents part in
the organization and the members
part.
The afternoon session opened by a
three reel picture showing the reclama'
ton of the dry land areas. The pic
lures were educational and brought out
clearly what irrigation and modern ma
chinery can do for a desert country.
= The election of officers preceded the
main speakers of the afternoon pro
gram. Jas. D. Fleming, a progressive
farmer and stockman of Stockholm
township, was elected president. Mr.
Fleming has been an active farm bu
reau man since it's organization. He
has long been a booster of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers association and
Small Grain association. There is nc
man in the country better fitted to head
the farm bureau than Mr.. Fleming
Other officers elected were Theo. Z

organization rather than the battles Of

We, Too, Have Been Foolish.

Chicago Tribune: The American who
gets flustered or panic striker because
the law of cause and effect is operating
in Euorpe with a drastic logic is both
weak and foolish. Americans have no
reason to fear the present or the future
if they will think of the mistaken rock
on which we stand and go quietly to de-
velop the resources and opportunities
before them. Europe after five years
of insane destruction, aggravated by
the blind and self destroying revenges
of this unhappy false peace, by foolish
self Indulgence, by weak postponement
of corrective restraints, cannot escape
a terrible payment. To what extent
we can help no man can now predict.
But we, too have been foolish. We
have INDUCED in extravaganza. We
have permitted initiation when we
should have been conserving our ii,
nancial strength and directing our re-
sources into the most productive chan
nels We shall have to pay for this,
but if we show good sense we can pay
without suffering, we can get easily
and quickly on better ground, and we
can go forewnrd confidently to a
healthier and more lasting prosperity.
We need to check our careless spend
ing and our uncareful expansions, and
we shall check them.

The Burden of Accidents

Why is it that with all the safety APP
plances and safety first talk there were
$4,000 killed and 100000 injured in acct
dents in this country last year?
One human characteristic that makes
accidents fore frequent is a certain ten
dency to recklessness when a group OF
men get together. Most men are inclin.
ed to be rather careful when by them.
selves. But when doing anything with
a group of others they seem ashamed
to show fear or exercise precautions.
Factory managers should take the ut.
most pains to explain all the dangers of
their machinery to workers. particularly
to those who do not speak English. One
strong reason for instruction of aliens
in factories is that it will help reduce
the accident cases and the burden OF
compensation payments. These acct
dents not merely cause family want and
suffering but they add to the cost OF
production and tax every resident OF
the city and everywhere else. g.

Once more we are called upon to
mourn the death of one Of our Oldest
citizens Of this vicinity, that of Mrs.
Tom Kane, which occurred at the fam
lily home northwest of Buck Grove, on
Wednesday morning, February 4th. She
suffered with a complication OF diseases
burt heart trouble was the direct cause
Of her demise. Her death came as a
great shock to this community as she
was only ill three days. Bridget Cos
tello was born in County Clare, Ireland,
in the year 1850. In 1871 she was mar
ried to Thomas Kane and few years
later came with her family to America.
They first settled in Clinton county,
Iowa, but in 1882 they moved to Craw-
ford county and for thirty-eight years
she has lived almost continuously near
Buck Grove. She was the mother OF
ten children, four of whom survive. one
son, Denison, and three daughters,
Lucy, Ella and Anna, all of whom were
at her bedside when the end came. Her
husband also preceded her to the great
beyond nine years ago. Mrs. Kane was
a devout member of the Catholic church
all her life and was prepared for death
by Father Schiller, receiving the last
rites Tuesday afternoon before she
died. All that is good and true and up.
right can be truthfully said of her, and
her cheerful smile and pleasant greeting
will be greatly missed by all her many
friends. She was an exceptionally de-
voted mother and seemed to live only
for her children. who in turn loved her
deeply and sincerely, and are, all heart
broken over their great loss and have
the sympathy of all in this great be-
reavement. The funeral services We're
held in st. Joseph's church here, Rev.

ed a very consoling sermon, carrying
balm to the stricken hearts. The re.
