to give it $40, and it would then de-
vote its efforts to drumming up bust
ness for the Equity exchange and
other local organizations, instead Of
marketing the farmers grain on a ma
tional scale through one agency" =
The farm bureau federation listed
other objections to establishment Of
the Equity exchange as sole selling
agency Of the cooperative grain mar
keting system in the northwest, as
follows:
"The proposed contract permits the
Equity exchange to carry on its own
business at the same time it acts as
agent for the u. S. Grain Growers.
We do not believe that any marketing
agency can carry on it's own business
and at the same time give Compel
ing agency efficient service and salts
factory results, when their interests
may at times be conflicting.
"The proposed contract further pur~
ports to give the U. S. Grain Growers,
inc, an option to purchase the proper
ties of the Equity exchange at an ap;
praised valuation, after August 1,
1923. This purported option is in
reality no option at all. It would be
null and void, unless majority Of the
stockholders Of the Equity exchange
voted to sell. It is further provided in
the proposed contract that if the stock
holders of the equity voted to sell, the
U. S. Grain Growers not only must pay
the actual value Of the properties, but
in addition must pay an allowance for
development costs of every nature &C
tually expended and whether paid out
of capital, earnings or surplus.
"The U. S. Grain Growers, under the
proposed contract, agrees to establish
no other sales agency in the entire
northwest, unless farmers object to
having their grain sold under control
of the equity rather than the U. S.
Grain Growers. If any grower or ele-
vator objects to the equity as exclusive
marketing agency, the U. S. Grain
Growers is obligated to notify the
equity within 20 days, and then to
allow the equity reasonable time in
which to induce such shippers or ele-
vators to withdraw their objections.
The u. S. Grain Growers further con-
tracts, to the full extent of it's ability,
to make every effort to direct the
shipment and marketing of all grain
produced in the second zone,' through
the Equity exchange. The second zone
includes Minnesota, Montana, South
Dakota and Wisconsin.
"The Equity exchange, under the
proposed contract, may at any time
close it's facilities to the u. S. Grain
Growers, in spite of the fact that the
U. S. Grain Growers is forbidden, by
! the contract, to establish any other
sales agency in this district. The equi-
ty is guaranteed the right to reserve
for it's own business all space it deems
necessary, and in the event that the
remaining space is inadequate to care
for grain shipped to the U. S. Grain
Growers by the farmers of the north
west, the equity is under no obliga-
ton to supply sufficient space"
The proposed contract, the farm bu-
reau directors declared, would estab-
lish, at the expense of the grain pro-
Queer, an organization to provide
more business for the equity, rather
than to improve marketing conditions

How the Spirit Of Giving Was Mani.
tested In the Churches a Hum
dnsd Years Ago.

Fresh-laid eggs are frequently de-
posted on the contribution plate in
some Of the backwoods Episcopal
churches Of the South. Which goes
to show that the spirit of giving hasn't
changed SO very much In the hundred
years or so Of the Church Missionary
society. The first report of the so
ciety dated May 80, 1928, was dug up
the other day. and while 1t shows no
contribution Of eggs, score Of other
articles Of merchandise seem to have
found their way to the plate from the
people who gave according to their
means" This report, for instance.
shows that back In 1921 David Sneth-
an gave basket of groceries for the
support OF the missionaries; Stephen
North contributed medicine chest;
William Rawland, a cross-cut saw:
Joe and John Needles, two sleeves; s.
Massey a coffee mill. John and T.
Gully contributed. alas, a singuIarIy

SWEPT OFF ALL VEGETATION
Ancient Records Tell Of Visitation
OF Locusts That Were Followed
by Dire Famine.

A passage of locusts in France, in
1913, entirely cut up even to the roots
more than $4,000 acres Of corn near
Aries, and had even penetrated into
the barns and granaries, when, as 1t
were by Providence, many hundreds Of
birds, especially starlings, came to
diminish their numbers. Notwith-
standing this. nothing could be more
astonishing than their multiplication.
for the fecundity Of the locust is re-
markable.
Upon an order issued by the govern.
ment for the collection Of their eggs
more than 5000 measures were col.
lected, from each Of which, it was
calculated, would have issued nearly
two millions Of young ones. In 1850
they entered Russia In immense d.
visions in three places, thence passed
over into Poland and Lithuanla, where
the air was darkened by their num-
bers. In many parts they lay dead to
the depth Of four feet. Sometimes
they covered the surface OF the
earth like a dark cloud, loaded the
trees, and the destruction which they
produced exceeded all calculation. In
1645 immense Swarms visited the
Islands of Formosa and Tayowan and
caused such famine that 5000 per
sons died Of hunger.

 Will of Kimball

CHICAGO, Dec. l. - An appeal from the order of the probate court admitting the will of Mrs. Evaline Kimball, widow of w. w. Kimbell. Chicago piano manufac;urvr, was dis missed today in the circuit court. The fight over disposition of the s4,0OO.- 900 estate was brought by five heirs who received minor bequests. The court ruled that a bill in chancery to set aside the will must be filed to obtain relief sought and attorneys for the heirs inIicated this would be done.
 The petitioners ore Irving and George Cone and Geneva and Mar guerita Burns of Los angeles, and Josephine Noble of Chicago. The principal beneficiaries were the Art Institute of Chicago, which receiv- ed million dollar art treasure, and Mrs. Warren Salisbury of Chicago. niece, who received a residuary estate of $2,600 ,000.
