ing the grain at some convenient and
natural terminal is the problem that
must be solved if the farmer ever
expects to receive a more just portion
of the market value Of his grain.
This has beer the work of the com
mittee of II. The committee consid-
cred the proposition from many an
giles, including the cooperative mar
keting system employed by the Cana
dian farmers, western fruit growers
and suggestions advanced by many
economists. The committee decided
that the farmer should go further and
enter the terminal market, arrange for
storage. finance on warehouse re-
ceipts and go all the way with the
grain from the wheat field to the
millers and export trade on the sea
board. The National Sales Agency
plan is the result Of the committees
deliberations. The plan provides for
using all machinery now in existence
for the handling Of grain. The local
banks will be used as they 10Y are
wherever possible and will be supple
mental to the general plan proposed.
The National Sales Agency will put
farmers on the inside Of the grain
marketing system instead Of on the
outside, according to the committee.
The committee holds that by maintain
ing a steady flow Of grain to the mar
kets throughout the year., by financing
the grain movement with elevator
receipts handled by it's w finance
department aiding local banks, by
maintaining its own sales agencies.
and by handling its W exportable
surplus, the new grain marketing or
g~anzation can stabilize prices and pre-
vent the great daily, weekly and sea

a handicap to both the producer and
consumer.
The speakers asserted that 1t Is not

A Fourth of July vacation trip end

injured his son, Charles W. Wilson,
an ex-seryice man, also of Chicago.
The accident occurred shortly after

OWED TOO FAR
BODYRECOVERED
Emil Lindhardt, Is Years
Old, Is Drowned at
Winthrop Harbor.
WASLEARNING TOSWIM

Diving into water over his head with
out knowing how to swim cost Emil
Lindhardt, a ffteen-year-old lad, his
life on Sunday afternoon about foAr
o'clock when he was drowned in a
bayou off Lake Michigan along the
Winthrop Harbor beach. The body,
sitting on the bottom in an upright
position, was recovered by divers a
half hour later but all attempts to. re-
suseitate the boy failed. 1t is believed
that he must have been taken either
with cramps or with heart failure and
for that reason the body never came
to the top.
Young Lindhardt left the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Gustave
Lindhardt, on the State Line Road just
after one o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
He went to the bayou where he met
Gordon Spencer and T. ]. FostlandI two
youths about of his age. The three of
them found some driftwood and had
guided it into a sheltered corner of the
creek and we're diving from it.
Had Dived Many Times.
The Lindhardt lad had dived, many
times into the water which at the
bank was about shoulder deep for
him. Each time the planks edged lit
tie farther into the water and finally
the lad dived into hole probably fif-
teen feet deep. The other boys watch
ed for his body but saw only bubbles
coming up. In desperation, young
Spencer, who also could not swim,
dived into the hole but was unable to
reach the bottom. Fostland ran more
than a half mile and summoned help.
For twenty minutes several men div
ed in an effort to recover the body
and finally it was brought to the sur
face. The fact that the body was
doubled up gave rise to the belief that
the boy had been taken with cramps.
Coroner Holds Inquest.
Coroner Taylor of Libertyville, Lake
county, held an inquest over the body
on Sunday evening and returned YER
dict of accidental drowning.
DR.. Gephart was summoned from Ke-
nosha and brought pulmotor with
him but was unable to revive any signs
of life in the lad, The remains we're
brought to the Hansen Mortuary in
Kenosha where they were prepared for
burial
The victim of the accident was we'll
known in Kenosha. He had attended
school in Waukegan where he gradual
ed from the Junior High school only a
few weeks ago.
The funeral services will be held on
Wednesday morning at ten o'clock at
the Hansen Chapel with interment fol-
lowing in the family plot in the Green
Ridge cemetery.
