vinced that the death of former En-

He Tells Farmers.

culture and the delegates to their an

Allen was the first Speaker on the
program of the meeting, and raped
-Townley and his policies vigorously,
to the accompaniment of cheers from
his audience. Nearly 500 persons
are attending the meeting of the
board.
Must Have Market.
Production doesn't help the farmer
unless he can market the things he
produces, to his advantage. F. Dumonr
Smith, president of the State Histori-
cal society, said to the farmers. Smith
urged organization of the farmers for
cooperative, scientific marketing.
Smith denounced the grain gamblers
on the board of trade as vigorously
as Senator Arthur Capper has ever
done.
Governor Allen and Mayor Herbert
~. Corwine welcomed the members of
the board to Topeka, and the resopnse
to the addresses of welcome was given
by Senator H. M. Laing. of Russell,
