Howard Speaks.
Some claim is made that we are
capitalizing the work of the federal
government in our organization, when
just the opposite is true. The Amer
lean Farm bureau idea was well
under way before the government
capitalized the idea, assisted it and
took it over. 1t was destined to be
successful from the start" said
President Howard in his address.
"Out of this has grown a fedora
ton of farm bureaus with more than
100000 members, located in At
states of the Union. The movement
has not been pressed. It has been
permitted to grow as the needs of
the farmer grew and only as the
farmer demanded the farm bureau.
Zone of the first problems was
the attitude of our organization
toward other and existing farm
organizations. Right from the
start ours has been one of CO
operation. We discovered that
many of the existing organiza-
tons were doing good work,
some not national, while many
were confined to sections of the
country or only to parts of states.
We found that they all were lack
ing in the proper central or basis
unit. So ours was policy of
helping all others then in the
field. Ours was to be a policy of
construction and not destruction
and upon that we have grown.
Five Departments.
"The American Farm bureau fed
GRAFTON is divided into departments
for carrying on it's work First, there |
is the organization department, in
charge of the organization of small
units, assisting state declarations and |
keeping in contact with locals and |
generally scouting for the good OF
the farmer.
Second, we have the publicity de-
organized only three
months ago; which publishes news
etters and supervises the publicity
n newspapers. It's most important
junction is the general educational
work.
''Then, third, we have the trans
department, the first to be
established by the federation. This
believe to be the most important
department of all, because there
never has been an attempt to build
Up al agricultural traffic file.
"a fourth department is to be
dded just as soon as we find the
'est trained economist, to be known
IS the department of economies. In
he past when farmers have asked
or legislation from their state leg
sIatures or from congress these re-
Iuests have not always been proper
Y grounded with the result that
ONE soreness was created.
ga fifth department, which is func-
ioning nicely, is our marketing de-
artment. Our marketing committee.

Growing from the organization of
the Washington State farm bureau,
the Washington Farm Bureau fed
Grafton was organized at the annual
convention of the state farm bureau
held in Spokane last week. The con-
stitution of the new organization is
almost identical with that of the
former body
Progressiveness and growth in
farm education was the keynote
which followed through the entire
convention, which was attended by
representatives and delegates from
every county in the state. The con-
Yention was featured by addresses
from James r, Howard, president OF
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton; w. A. Cochel of Kansas City,
member of the marketing commit
tee of seventeen; DR.. E. o. Holland,
president of the State College OF
Washington, and r. c.. Pollock, as

Bar Politics.
The federation delegates adopted (
a resolution barring politics from the /
organization. Any officer of the bu-
reau who becomes an officer OF any
political party will automatically
tender his resignation from office in
the farm bureau association, accord
ing to terms of the resolution.
The federation also boosted the
candidacy of j. B. Campbell of Spo-
kane for appointment to the interstate
commerce commission. Numerous
farmers at the convention indorsed
his candidacy
Annual Banquet.
A special feature of the convention
was the annual banquet, at when
Mr.. Howard spoke, as did Mr.. Cochei
and DR.. E. A. Bryan, commissioner OF
education in idaho. There were hve-
minute talks by Samuel Adams OF
Chicago, editor of the American
Fruitgrower; DR.. Z. o. Holland, pres

Speaker Reviews History.
@se.sThe farm bureau work originated
with the county agents organiza-
ions and the idea was conceived IN
Bronze county, New York, 10 years
ago Sunday, March 20, 1911. There
was no idea that the society then
would be developed into great ma
tional organization" said r. &. FOL
lock in his address.
1.-THE fundamental principle OF the
farm bureau work is that it proposes
to cooperate with the great agencies
of government in working out So
luton for the mariners present diHi-
Guilty 1t is not antagonistic to these
great agencies.
I'VE are not crying out that tne
boards of trade and the railways ana
the banks are robbing us. we say
that all these financial condltlons
that are now operating against the
farmer are the result of economic
shakeups in after-war adjustment.
The farmer needs more credit. IL Is
simply an economic problem that the
banks can not now handle loans on
that long time, but insist upon three
months or less duration.
The farmer is the hardest hit. IL
is our problem as farmers, however

marketing of all grains and move
them as the markets require and
not over-supply the demand and

 HEART TREATMENT.
 My sister was troubled last spring with shortness of wind and could scarcely walk across the floor it got so bad. We got the doctor and he said her heart was slightly enlarged and one of the muscles leading to the heart was not functioning properly. He said nothing but complete rest would help her and he told her to go to bed for a week and that she must wean her baby which was about six months old then. She went to bed and lne said that her heart was back to normal but when she got |. } and walked her breathing was just the same as before
 She wrote me last week and said she was getting worse all the time when she walked. She has to do her own work. they are not in a po- sition to hire a maid. She has one little girl g years old and another one year old and it is very hard for her. Will you please tell me if there is any and if so what she is to do?
 Answer - sympathize with your sister. Her situation is grave but she may entertain much hope of recovery if she will follow the advice given her. While she has shortness of under the ribs on the right side she must stay in bed. She cannot work.

BIG OIL COMPANIES
 POOL THEIR INTERESTS
Increased Gasoline Produc- tion Expected F r 0 m Agreement of Indiana and Texas Concerns.

Chicago, Nov. 9-A business ar rangement between the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and the Texas Company whereby production of gasoline may be considerably in creased, was made known yesterday. Under the arrangement each has the right to operate under patents held by the other. Furthermore, and of more importance. either company may license others to operate under any and all of their patents under an agreed division of royalties.
 The granting of licenses to other companies to use these patented processes, through which the greatest percentage of gasoline is produced from crude oil, should benefit the oil industry a whole and larger pro- duction of gasoline will prove a stim- ulus to the automobile industry, 1t is believed.
 The Standard Oil Company of Indiana owns the Burton, Hum phreys Clark and other patent rights, while the Texas Company holds the rights on the Adams, Holmes-Manley and other patents.

The OnLOOker

T HEONIOOKER Proof to Hurley
 Heartiest congratulations to Fred Atwater-the new helmsman of the municipal barge. Sincere well wishes ly picks up the tangled ends of ad- ministrative power after ten years of absolute Republicanism.
 With the downfall of the Wilsonian ticket, one of the best friends of newspa permen passes on. Alex Rob- inson passes from the office of city every newSwriter who covered City Hall for years back He fought like a man, and he took defeat like a man, and he passes back to the peo- pei as a real man.
 The On1ooker viewed with interest a little ceremony in the City Hall the other night. It was the last official gathering of the aldermen. With pretty little presentation remarks. Mayor Wilson was given a suitably inscribed gavel to mark the close of of Bridgeport. The gayel was the one he used at official meetings.
 A similar token was presented Ralph T. Beers president of the board. Many times it had been Pres lOSnL beeTS pTlV1toS0 to preside as mayor protem.
 To the OnIooker the ceremony al- most abOunded with evil forebodingS. It almost seemed a farewell to the Mayor. And so it proved.
 The boys in the Internal Revenue office were telling The Onlooker last night that former Alderman John Lyons, their new associate, is making a decided hit MT. Lyons was an alderman for five years, and he per haps is best known flor his bitter op- position to the Wilson Broad street extension project
 John Lyons, you know. was once a crack baseball player. In the days of his youth in Taunton, Mass, he was the leader in every sport, and his reputation preceded him to Bridgeport.
 Some years back, Johnny was man. ager of the St. Peters team in the old City League. It was during the days when Billy Kerr and Patsy Cunningham, and Eddie Reilly and Tommy Buckley were making a rep utation for St. Peters that remains to this day.
 Here is something The Onloker found in this mornings mail. A little late, perhaps, but interesting:
