FARMERS EMPLOY
TRAINED MAN To
Do ALL BUYING

Columbus, Ohio, Dec, IL
Thousands Of Ohio farmers, CO.
operating in one central association
the Farmers Commercial Serv-
ice company-have placed the buy
ing of practically all supplies need
cd in farm operation, on the same.
business-like basis OF large manu-
featuring plants, by employing
Highly trained purchasing agent.
1--WE are cooperating with Az
farmers cooperative grain eleVat-
ors and other farm organizations
whose membership, while not eA-
actly known, runs into thousands,
said Fred G. Greene, purchasing
agent for the Farmers Commerci3l
Service company, with offices here.
Thousands of dollars have been
saved during the last six months by
farmers IN northeastern and CEN
trail Ohio.
Farmers list their wants with
their cooperative elevators, whose
managers forward the combined
orders of farmers 10 us. Nltn
many orders coming in daily we
are able to purchase LARGE quanu-
ties of each article, thereby Secut"
ing it at considerably less than the
market price and often less tAah
the wholesale figure"
Besides securing supplies at the
lowest possible cost, occasionally

ask us TO assist in disposing of
quantity of grain or produce,
which we gladly do" Mr.. Greene
stated.
AT the end Of tho year after all
operating expenses have been paid
any surplus will be pro-rated
among stockholders on patron
age basis" continued Mr.. Greene
Elevators and organizations when
bought heavily of supplies during
the year will receive a greater sur
plus dividend than others whose
purchases were less, Cooperative /
elevators upon receiving this sur
plus dividend may divide it among
their constituents, pro-rated, or re-
tain 1t in the treasury, just as they
wish" he explained.
THE company maintains itself, /
he said. "by adding small COM /
to the cost price or de-
Quoting it from the selling price, +
as the case may be.
IAN organization or cooperative
elevator is not compelled to hold
stock in the company in order 10

LEAGUE DECIDES
DISARMAMENT IS
To Be CAUTIOUS
Policy of U. S. Said to Be
One Reason Why Matter
Cannot Be Boldly Crap
Piled With at This Time.

Geneva, Dec, 14.-FirSt steps for
disarmament Of the nations must
be cautious and deliberate, the as
sembly of the league of nations
decided, Notwithstanding sharp
criticism by George Nicoll Barnes,
the British labor leader, and Chris
tian Lange OF Norway. Mr.. Barnes
said there was too much bubble
and not enough pluck" in the deci-
sions to go slowly.
The policy Of the United States
on this question was, by more or
less yelled illusions. invoked as
one reason why general disarma-
ment cannot be boldly grappled
with at this time, Mr.. Barnes said,
H. A. l.. Fisher, of the British del
egation, referred to nations with
powerful arms and munitions
making facilities that still are out
side the league" The absence
from the league of former enemy
countries also was referred to by
Mr.. Fisher. This brought from Mr..
Barnes the retort:
"They now are practically dis
armed and cannot constitute a
menace for years to come
A curious manifestation of the
session was the general applause
of the delegates for the pleas made
by Messrs. Barnes and Lange for
an immediate minimum effort,
while at the same time accepting
the conclusions of the disarma-
ment committee. These are. brief
ly, an effort to prevent the future
increase of ornaments and propa-
ganda in favor of a decrease as q

eventually, but remotely, general
disarmament.
France and Belgium accepted
the committees conclusions upon
limitations of armament expendi-
lures during the next two years on
the basis of appropriations for last
year. They added. however, that
they could not consider the restor-
alton of ornaments destroyed dur
ing the war as increased eXpendi-
ture, but pointed out that measures
were being taken to reduce the
period of military service. NJ.
Poullet of Belgium said;
Belgium has received no repair

GIVES SUIT Of
CLOTHES WHEN A
CHILD IS BORN
Representative From North
Carolina Keeps an Agree
ment Made With a Con-
Stituent Many Years Ago.
tBy The Associated Prsss)

washington, n. IL Dec. Ia
For many years Representative
Small of North Carolina has by
agreement been presenting to Il,
c. Bland, clothes for each addi'
tional child in his family. Having
presented thirteen suits and being
recently notified to send the four
tenth. representative small has
informed Bland that the contract
will be off with Mr.. Smalrs re-
tirement from congress on the Ord
of March.
Small and Bland made their
compact a number of years ago
when Small was making a cam
paign speech at Robersonville, near
here. Bland then had twenty chill
dren; he now has thirty-four.
Twenty-six of the thirty-four
Bland children are living, and the
present Mrs. Bland, BANDS second
wife, is the mother of nineteen,
nine of whom were born during the
last ten years, including one set of
twins. Eighteen children still live
at home, but Mrs. Bland declares
she gets lonesome sometimes "be-
cause so many have gone away"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bland recently had
a group photograph taken of the
family still remaining on the Band
farm. While the photographer
was working bu2zard cast its
shadow on the ground Bland was
asked il he was superstitious.
no" he said. I'm not afraid
of buzzards, but at first | thought
the blame thing was a stork."
In calling the children together
for the photograph. Bland simply
cupped his hands and in stentor-
ian voice cried; "Children!" Re-
suits We're immediate. Children APP
peared from every direction. Some
of the children" were grown men
and women; others were barely
able to toddle forth. and one still
was being carried in arms.
Bland says it is no more trouble
to bring up fifty children than 1t
is to raise ten.
After you pass ten he says,
"the older ones are big help"
The children were not unusually
noisy, Bland said, although "they
made considerable racket when
fourteen were taken down togeth-
er with whooping cough" The
Bland grocery bill is equivalent to
about $3.50 week. although Bland
produces large part of his food.
On one occasion he says he spent
most of one night computing the
cost of keeping his family comfort
able, but that the figures reached
such alarming proportions he gave
up the job

sphynx woman was ordered COM
mitted to the state hospital for the
insane today by the lunacy COM
mission. She was taken to the

ASK HIGHER PAY
FOR WORKERS Of
UTILITIES BOARD
Corporation Commission Re-
port Shows 1t Has Paid
Own Way; Slight Increase
in Salaries Sought.
(BY STAFF CORRESPONDENCE

lB1 SIAFE to1thEoI'ONDEl NI.
Santa Fe. Dec. 14.-The State
Corporation commission, filing its
budget in the office of Governor 0,
A. Larrazolo yesterday, pointed out
that in the nine years it had been
in operation its total cost had been
$22S, 1860, while it's receipts were
1888, S42.40. Thus the commission
has not been a burden on the tax
payer since it has paid its own way
through the collection of fees.
In its requests for future years,
the commission is asking a slight
increase in the scale paid employees
of the office. The present appro-
priations for office help and con-
tingent expenses total $4,000. The
commission is asking that it BIO al
lowed 100000 for the next two
fiscal years, this amount to cover
salaries of employees and contin-
gent expenses. 1t also asks that
this amount be granted in a lump
sum as in the case OF the State Tax
commission, since the commission
frequently needs to employ expert
assistance and is not able to fore
cast when or how that assistance
will be needed.
Articles of incorporation were
filed with the commission today
for the Thos. f. keleher Leather
company, Incorporated, of Albu-
querque. The incorporators are
Thos. F. Keleher, Sir, Thos. F. KEEL
cher. Jr., and Eugenia Keleher.
The capital stock of $4,000 is fully
paid in.
The Farmers Bank and Trust
company of Maxwell, in Colfax
county, filed an amendment to it's
articles of incorporation changing
the name of the institution to the
Farmers and Merchants State Bank
of Maxwell.
