 Co-Operative Marketing

CTS to manage the aSSocia tion, as this organization is not political, nor fra ternal, but a purely business organ ization- Directors should be elected, MT. Stevens said, not because of per sonal popularity, but because of pro- ven business ability.
 Fred J. Elliott, attorney for the association, and a cotton grower, a man who has made considerable study of the cooperative movement, told of his recent trip to Mexico and his observations of the remarkable sue cess the Mexicans in the winter to- mato districts have had in marketing their crops through a cooperative or ganization.
 A few questions and answers passed back and forth, and then J. Stanley Howard, a substantial ranch CT and business man, said:
 MT. President, let's start signing up." And they did.
 Other Meetings to Follow
 The next meeting of the campaign will be at Washington school to- night, and the local organization committee for that district has for some days been busy distributing contracts to the growers, so they will come prepared to act At Madison the third meeting will be held on Monday night, and fur ther meetings as announced in yes terday's Republican already have been scheduled, and the executive committee will announce further meetings as soon as definite ar engagements have been made in fur ther districts.
 It is the hope of the committee that | with the suspicious start, the cam paign can be carried forward with sufficient speed that the report can | be taken to the meeting at Oklahoma City the 18th of the month that Ari- zona has followed the example ot l Oklahoma and exceeded her mini mum.
 | The meeting at Oklahoma City is to take the initial steps to work out an overhead sales agency on which all state organizations for marketing will be represented.

ARMS DELEGATES
DEBATE AIRPLANES
.... AND SUBMARINES

Washington, Dec 29.---Its horizon
beclouded by elements of uncertain-
ty the arms conference today entered
a phase of its negotiations which will
determine whether it will be success
ful in imposing limitations on any
class of warships except capital ships.
The immediate proposal before the
naval committee when it resumed its
session was plan of the American
government to limit the tonnage OF
airplane carriers to be maintained in
the future navies. Attention centered
about the proposals Of Elihu Root for
limiting submarine operations.
The delegations all have indicated
that they desire further instructions
from their governments on the point,
especially in view of Mr.. Roots sug-
gestion that use Of underwater craft
against merchant vessels be prohibit
ed entirely and that submarine com
manders who violate humane rules OF
warfare be liable to trial as pirates
The American delegates attach a
great deal of importance to these Root
resolutions.
A direct issue as to whether future
submarine warfare shall be conduct
ed under civilized rules was raised
today by the United States delegates
before the arms conference naval
committee. The Root resolutions
which would regulate use of subma.
rines against merchant craft were
the subject of a spirited debate. Ac
| tion on them was postponed until
| further discussion this afternoon
Adoption of the Root resolution was
urged by the United State delegates
and won the support Of Great Britain
but the French, Japanese and Italian
delegates urged reference of the mat
| ter to a commission Of experts.

FORD BREAKS THRU

VAMPIRE AUTO DISAPPEARS Az
TER WRECkING LIFE OF DAP.
PER DISPLAY WINDOW IN LOOP
ACCESSORY STORE.

Ottawa police officials are today
conducting search for a mysterious
automobile, supposed to have been a
Ford, driven by two unknown men,
which crashed through large plate
glass window of the Sanders Auto
Parts company, at the intersection
of Main and Clinton streets. the site
previously occupied by the Glegg
Perkins plumbing shop, The acci-
dent occurred early this morning
shortly after II o'clock and result
ed in the smashing of the large glass
to tiny bits. Whether or not either
of the supposed two men who were
in the car were injured or not is
unknown as they made their escape
before police officers could get near
enough to get their number or see
the make Of the machine
AS far as can be determined the
ear came south off Of Clinton street
and turned east onto Main when it
crashed through the large window,
Then men in the car might have eli
ther been intoxicated at the time and
reCkelssly allowed their automobile
to plunge over the curbing into the
window or they might have been tray
cling at very high rate of speed
when they made the turn, which pre-
vented them from keeping in the
street. In that case their machine
would havee skidded over the icy
streets and could have easily result
ed in the mishap as the curbing at
that portion of the city is very low
one.
Night Watchman James Kilgore
heard the crash as did officer Martin
Crawford. Both rushed to the scene
of the accident but by the time they
arrived there the machine had made
a hasty retreat, leaving no clews as
to the identity of the occupants
Where they were from or who they
were still remains a mystery.
The glass is an exceptionally large
one and is valued at approximately
$3.50 The store is a branch Office
of the Joliet Auto Wrecking company
and is in charge of Sam Greenburg
and AL Sanders of Joliet Both stat
ed this morning that the window was
! insured.
The lower portion of the window
was smashed to smithereens while
breaks and cracks extended clear
up to the top. The window will be
of no further use after it is removed
/ from the frame because of the man
/ ner in which it was broken.

Red Cross Lodge,
st. Anne De La Bellevue, Cue.

The above letter received today
by Major Charles Gapen. tptietcr
of the City Drug store, clari mys.
terry that has been one of Ottawa s
unsolved enigmas for more than nine
years.
With all the features of a "voice
from the grave" this missive strik.
ing with the unexpectedness of a
lightning bolt from clear sky, clar-
ifies with all degree of flnality the
mystery which shrouded the disap-
pearance of Garrity on the Sunday
night Of June, 1912, when Armory c
was totally destroyed by fire. Garri-
ty by many was thought to have been
killed in the conflagration and days
were spent raking the ruins of the
old home Of Company in hope of
finding some trace of his charred
bones, but without success.
The long missing man is in hos
pital at St Anne dc la Bellevue, Que
bee, according to his own admissions.
Garrity Openly Accused.
There were those who openly ac-
cused Garrity, who then was en-
ployed as janitor at the armory, of
using the torch to avenge some mag
mary wrong. Many though that after
he had applied the match to the state
building. the job was so well done he
had no time to escape, and was
caught in the seething caldron Of
flame, and himself destroyed along
with about 100000 worth of building
and military equipment.
Others were less certain of what
happened to Garrity, feeling con-
responsible for the fire, either thru
intent or carelessness, had sought
refuge in flight hoping to escape the
law he knew would soon be upon his
heels in event he revealed his place
of hiding.
All, accepting the theory which at
that time seemed probable Garrity
was unable TO escape from the doom
ed armory in time to save himself,
helped in combing the debris left in
the wake of one of the most spec
tacular blazes in the city's history,
for some trace of the body.
Disappearance Soon Forgotten.
After weeks of search the hunt
was given up as hopeless, and as time
sped on the story of Garrity and his
mysterious fate, was supplanted in
the minds of Ottawa people by more
important events, and became forgot
ten.
Receipt of a letter from him
brings to life new interest in his
strange conduct. Today Major Ga
pen and others connected with the
armory recalled that Garrity. before
dropping off the face of the earth
as it were. was disgruntled ovel
some money he thought he had com

bright youth, with distorted opinions
that could have been easily .exagger

things of Garrity he was immediatel,
