DIRECTORS Of
FARM BUREAU
HOLD MEETING


Several matters Of importance
were taken up at yesterdays meet
ing of the directors Of the Mercer
county farm bureau. Following
routine business . discussion of the
agricultural needs Of the commun-
ity was taken up And the possibili-
ty Of an agricultural and scientific
school being established in con-
junction with the experimental sta
ton which ID. in the county and the
utilizing Of w. and v. equipment.
1t was the general sentiment Of the
men that this work should be en-
couraged, and there was . desire
on the part Of the farm bureau to
cooperate with other agencies in
forwarding this end. The question
Of a wool pool was taken up and .
hearty endorsement for q wool pool
for 1921 was given.
The directors extended q vote of
endorsement to the Illinois Agri-
cultural association In the matter
Of obtaining government harness
for farmers. A set has been OBJ
tanned and is ON exhibit at the farm
bureau Office. It is expected that
an effort will be made to establish
an order house in each community
center, where orders may be left
for this harness. The price of the
set of harness is $43.73, t. o. b. fac
tory. Cash must accompany order.
The harness will be shipped direct
from the government factory to
pur chasers, express collect. Express
is about 1910, making total cost
to farm bureau members of approx
imately $3.50. The price per set
for non-members is $50, I. o. b. fac
tory.
Probably one Of the most impor-
tant projects that has been taken
up by the Mercer county farm bu-
reau since it has been established
in the county is one outlined at
yesterdays meeting. The farm bu-
reau is to supply 10 ears Of disease
free seed corn to one farmer in
each of the Is townships in the
county. This seed corn has been
tested and is known to be free
from corn root rot. It is to be
used on q plot for the purpose Of
demonstrating the additional yield
from corn that is free from this
disease. In order to qualify for
the demonstration, the cooperatOr
must have a piece Of solid ground
which has been in clover for at
least two years or more. County
Farm Advisor P. s. Richey is now
looking for these 'cooperators and
expects that there will be q consid-
cradle number of parties to estab-
lish these plots. The corn will be
supplied without cost.
Another important matter which
was taken up yesterday was that
of the grain marketing plan which
has been proposed by the grain
marketing committee of II, recent
|ly selected by the American Farm
Bureau Federation.

Judge G. o. Dietz of Moline city

program.

tise for bids. These bids will be

these bids will give definite tnfor-
nation of the pavement prices for
this year. Moline will let several
contracts If the prices submitted by
the contractors are reasonable.
To be reasonable the figures must
be below the estimates. Prices for
the three projects confirmed today
must be approximately 20 per cent

local improvements made an ag-
greement with Directing property
owners not to let contracts unless
bids were about that much below
the engineers figures. 81
No such agreement has been made
In connection with other improve
ment projects, but it Is generally
understood that the board expects
the bids to be somewhat below esti-
mates.

assessment rolls were confirmed to-
day are Twenty-sixth street, TWEEN

other person than James A. Still
man to be the father Of this child"
In his reply, Mr.. Nicoll said he
had referred to documentary evil
dence presented to the court. Mr..
Mack replied that neither by affida-
Wit nor testimony had anything in
directly been placed in the records
to impugn the legitimacy Of the
child.
Justice Morschauser remarked
that the mother stood for the pa
ternity of the child, while the
father attacked it:
Isn't that the big point in the
question of compensation" he
asked, adding that sufficient ,coun-
sci fees, in consideration Of the at
tack made on the child, should be
allowed.
Abraham Levy of attorneys for
Mrs. tSillman, then stated:
"She fights not only for the life
of herself, but for the life Of her
child. This case has not yet been
tried. When 1t is tried, she will
prove her denial of all the allega-
lions as to her infidelity made by
Mr.. Stillman."
II will take these papers and
have it out at home," said Justice
Morschauser. Il can't let the
press have these papers until they
are passed upon.
Justice Morschauser then asked
the lawyers where they wished the
papers to be filed, in West Chester,
Putnam, Orange county. Mr.. Bren-
nan and Mr.. Nicoll said 1t was inn
material.
Justice Morschauser then said he
would enter the final papers in the
county clerks Office Of West Ches-
ter county, but added that he would
order the county clerk to transmit
the papers to Putnam county,
where the action originally started
and where the papers will be filed.
On the question OF where the
papers should be filed one Of the
attorneys remarked with q smile.
they might consult the convent
ence Of the large number Of news
paper reporters assigned to the
suit"
To Be Public.
Justice Morschauser, at this
juncture, reiterated that the entire
proceeding was q public matter,
and that he intended to have
everything connected with the suit
conducted Openly and above
board"
Various papers were then
handed up to him BY attorneys for
both sides.
Justice Morschauser said that
both sides could submit replying
affidavits in regasd to the motion
for alimony next Saturday morning
at Poughkeepsie, where he has his
chambers.
There will be NO more argu-
ments on this motion" Justice Nor
schauser said.
He stated that the next phase IN
the motion for alimory and coun-
sci fees would be his decision.

AIRS CHARGE
AGAINST Wife
Continued from Page One. d,

Continued from Page One.
$3.50, 900 in 1920. Counsel for the
defendant had claimed it amounted
to 100000 or 100000.
Mr.. Brennan conceded that the
figure Of $536,000 was correct for
the period Of one year, and said
that now that he had been supplied
with this information, he had no
further occasion for pressing for an
examination of the plaintiff.
I'VE have rendered stipulation"
Mr.. Nicoll said, ito the effect that
the plaintiff is able to pay any rea-
sonable sum to the defendant that
your honor might allow. This
amount as stated in stipulation ad-
mits that the plaintiff, Mr.. Stillman,
had a net income for the last year
Of $536,000. There were from his
gross income several deductions,
including federal tax which left
the amount about $530.000.
The hearing lasted only about
half an hour. When it was ad-
journed at 1875 a. m. Justice
Morschauer reserved decision on
the motions before him for ali
mony Of $4,000 a month and coun-
sci fees Of $4,000 for Mrs. Still
man. i.
In making his charges against
Mrs. Stillman-the former Fiji"
Potter-Mr. Nicoll said that his
client had refused to credit for a
long time any thought which might
have occurred after she had implf-
Gated herself"
Nov, Mrs. Stillman makes
charges against him." he contin-
ued. Clearly she is entitled to a
proper allowance of alimony and
counsel fees. Mr.. Stillman desires
to be fair and generous. Mrs. Still
man must defend herself and the
legitimacy of the child"
Mr.. Brennan said:
Down to Brass Tacks.
: Let us take this case and get
down to brass tacks. We are not
here asking for generosity. We
are here to assert our rights. We
want an opportunity to find out
what these warrior-like people are
up in the wilds Of Canada and we
want especially to know what they
have to do with this case"
Mr.. Brennan added that in the
last eight months Mr.. Stillman had
contributed more than SIG 900 for
the maintenance of his children
and $4,000 in alimony for his wife.
He said, in referring to the coun-
sci fees. that Justice Morschauser.
with his experience. would do the
proper thing.
Mr.. Nicoll said the only desire OF
Mr.. Stillman in the matter of ali
mony was that he could grant Mrs.
Stillman sufficient money to allow
her to live in reasonable luxury.
Equals Gould Case.
Attorneys for the plaintiff
brought out that the largest re-
quest for alimony in a court in
New York state VA in the Gould
case, when the sum then asked was
IDENTICAL with the present request.
John E. Mack, guardian I'd Item,
for Guy Stillman, z8-months baby
