CHICAGO. March 1S.-Farmers' or
CARNATIONS of the United States today are
officially considering the most extensive
cooperative marketing plans in the his
tory of the country. Two well-developed
projects for handling grain already have
been worked out and are now being pre-
scented to farmers. If adopted, they viii
go into effect this summer. Efforts are
being made to unite the two farm groups
concerned ON a single system.
The final ratification meeting for the
broader of the plans, which includes the
handling of all grain, is set for April %
here The other organization, which con-
Germs itself only with wheat, is already
signing up members. On April the
first working meeting of a national live
stock marketing committee will be held
here. Its object is to develop national
livestock marketing plan.
Coincidentally with these two meetings,
fruit growers of the country will hold a
conference in Chicago, at which cOnSid-
Grafton will be given the possibility of ma
tiOnal cooperative effort. The national
plans for marketing of wheat and live
stock are the elimination of much local
and sectional cooperative enterprise al
ready established by farmers.
The prime movers in the plans men,
toned are the American farm bureau fed
Grafton and the Wheat Growers asSocia-
ton of America. Both Organizations are
developments of the last few years.
The wheat strike of last year first
attracted attention to the Wheat Grow
ers' association, which has its headquar-
ters at Wichita. Kans With the assist.

WORLDS CHAMPION
MAKER OF FLOUR
Set Record of 13S, 100000
Barrels

AINNEAPOLIS Mimi. March IS
Ranking as the champion -four maker of
the world. John Kraft, who retired March
+ after continuous service for 46 years.
holds the unique record of making enough
-four TO feed the entire population of the
nited States and its possessions for a
period of one year. Because of impaired
vision Mr.. Kraft, who Is 90 years old. ter
minated his connection with a local -four
company after establishing a record
which milling engineers believe will stand
for many years.
Engineers at the plant estimate that
during his 46 years of active service, Mr.
Kraft made 13S,000,000 barrels of flour.
According to the veteran miller, an aver
age normal person consumes about one
barrel of flour q year or its equivalent.
Mr.. kraft'S output therefore could feed
the population of entire United States and
its possessions which is approximately
1l5,0OO.0O0 and at the end of one year
have large surplus.
Expressed by milling engineers, the stu
pendous amount of -four milled under
krafts eyes would, if placed in barrels
end to end, extend around the world three
times; would cover every square foot of
the site of Minneapolis with -four six
inches deep, and if loaded for shipment
would require 100000 cars or 10 300 aver.
age trains.
Mr.. Kraft has been a head miller for 3s
years and during this time has had three
mills under his supervision.
Born in Schlotzau, Germany, Jan. ID
1852, he came to this country when &c
years of age. 1t was not until he had
resided here three years that he obtained
employment in the mills.
Beginning at the bottom as a sweeper
he gradually worked his way up through
the various stages of shutter, machine
tender and grinder. He was made a head
miller in 1888. Five years later he was
in charge of three mills In 1908. how,
ever, with advancing years. he reIin
qulshed his authority over two of them.
During his long period of the flour mill

he witnessed the replacing of rolls for tn,

the installation of dust collectors. Also

DIR. Harrigan's Advice to
Nerve Exhausted People

It's worth your while to read what a
New York specialist has to say about the
nerve and brain cell builders that the
Brattleboro Drug Co. sells so much OF
these days. He writes:
Let those who are weak, thin, nervous,
anaemic or rundown, take natural UNI
adulterated substances such as Bitro-
Phosphate and you viii soon see some as
tonishing results in the increase of nerve
energy and strength of body and mind.
Bitro-P Phosphate is a pure organic phos-
phate such as good physicians prescribe
to create abundant nerve force.--AdT.

exigencies of the times. 1t was either
Lord Bel1omont, the lord chancellor,
the first lord of the admiralty, the
secreties of state or Captain Kidd. and
under this circumstance he had no
chance. Collision and perjury are
plainly evident in his trial; the French
passes, which would have cleared him
of the piracy charge. tho produced in
parliament, were suppressed in the
admiralty court. The least said about
Bellomont's action in the matter the
better. He fooled Kidd, he fooled his
council, and worst of it is, he allowed
it in his letters to the lords of trade
THE Captain Kidd of today is a.

whom a recognized French authority
