Give Sweets on
Sweetest Day
(By Associated Press)


Cleveland, Ohio.-10,00O packages OF
candy will be distributed to orphans
old peoples homes, charitable institu-
tions and hospitals of Cleveland by
Cleveland retail candy dealers and
manufacturers as part of move to
set aside Saturday, October 9th as "the
sweetest day in the year"-a day on
which everybody eats candy.
The packages will be distributed
through the Women's City Club. They
will be packed October 9th and deliv-
cry will begin Immediately so as to
have all institutions supplied by Octo-
Der 9Th.
Candy men plan to make October 9th
a national sweet-tooth day annually
throughout the country. They point
out that doctors say purely made candy
is of great value as food and is espe-
cially healthful for children. The day
is also to be an opportunity for neg
lectful husbands to take home the long
promised boxes of candy.
"The sweetest day" was originated a
few years ago and has gained momen-
tum until it had become a national
movement by the candy wholesale and
retail dealers and manufacturers, OF

SEE COLLAPSE ON
FARMER MOVEMENT
Marketing of Grain by the Farmers Is
Declared to Have Been Unsuc-
cessful Venture

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Chicago - The grain world is now
witnessing the almost complete col
lapse of the cooperative movement of
farmers to market their own grain, J.
P. Griffin, president of the Chicago
Board Of Trade. told the grain dealers
national association at the opening of
its 18th annual convention here to-
day.
"The leaders in this movement are
in retreat" Mr.. Griffin said "De-
spite their inexperience and utter lack
of marketing knowledge, they have
been exposed as paying themselves
enormous salaries.
"The farmer has learned that the
glowing promises made to enlist his
financial support are impossible OF
performance. Without the farmers
money to be supplied in abundance
this plan was fore ordained a failure
and thus we are now witnessing the
almost complete collapse of this en-
bryonic monopoly"
Much legislation has been recently
advanced Mr.. Griffin said, (which was
nothing less than bold attempt to
destroy the present highly competitive
marketing system and substitute in
its stead species of mOnOpOlistic con-
troll.
''This sinister plan was to be sugar
coated and sanctified under the shall
low pretense that it was a co-opera-
tive producers movement" he con-
tinued.
'In plain fact it was sponsored by
an aggregation of self constituted agi-
tators and false prophets who in self
interest and for personal aggrandize-
ment were attempting to capitalize
the unhappiness and discomfort of the
farmers"
