FARMERS MEETING TODAY
Report Of Farmers from Many States
to BE Made on Marketing
Conditions.

. Ratification Nof a national coop
erative grain marketing plan pro-
posed by the farmers grain market
ing committee of seventeen will be
taken up for consideration in Chi
cago today at conference of farm
er Representatives from the twenty
five important grain producing
states of the country.
Delegates to the meeting number
lot. all chosen at state meetings
held by the committee in March.
Delegates were apportioned on the
basis Of the average value of grain
marketed in each state during the
past ten years.
Chairman of the ratification con-
ference is j. r. Howard, president
Of the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, who in July of last year
called a national marketing confer
ence that led to the creation of the
of seventeen.
The final report of this commit
tee will be presented today by its
c. Fl. ,Gustafson, a Me-
braska farmer who heads several
large farmers cooperative organ
izations.
"If the marketing plan and the
recommendations of the committee
are accepted at the conference, II
will result in the immediate forma-
ton Of a farmers national grain
marketing company" Mr.. Gustafson
said. 'The hearty approval with
which the plan was. received at the
state meetings indicates that sew
eral thousand existing cooperative
elevators will at once affiliate with
the national grain marketing COM
pany, so that 1t can handle an APP
preciable part of the 1921 crop.
Although the committee of sew
enteen is made up of representa-
tives from many different farmers
who had been trying
to solve the farmers marketing
problems in many different ways,
every member of the committee is
agreed upon the proposed plan"

In this county there are sixteen
presidents, and all of them were
present but two The convention

qualifications of the applicants will
be carefully considered. There is
some talk of dark horse" enter
ing into the race, but that is only
talk thus far.
Miss Stearns has held the office
several years and has given splendid
service The consolidated school
problem has no doubt entered into
1.-THE fight, but in this no one can
charge Miss Strains with having.
taken sides one way or the, other
She has been absolutely fair and
impartial in all cases, but of course
when the people in districts wanting
consolidated schools filed their petit
ti0ns and complied with the law,
she in line of duty was obliged to
call the special elections.

MURDERERs MUST HANG
Judge ut Des MOines Passed SEN
tence ON Men Who Killed
Grocer Recently

4. Eugene Claude Weeks will be
hanged at the Fort Madison state
penitentiary on April Is, 1922. for
the murder Of George A. Fosdick,
Forest Avenue grocer.
Orrie L0rn Cross, who did the
staying by firing three bullets into
FOsdick's body from q .45-calibre
automatic, will be hanged on May l.,
1922.
District Judge Hubert Utterback.
with q voice almost choked by sobs,
sentenced young Cross to die on the
gallows. as the clock was striking IL
Monday,
twenty minutes before he had de-
creed that Weeks should die in the
same manner. in accordance with the
verdict Of the jury which last week
found him guilty.
Weeks showed no emotion when
the death decree was slowly read to
him. NStill maintaining his indiffer-
ent attitude, he calmly walked before
the bar. listened attentively to the
pronouncement of judgment and
thenstook his seat without betraying
the slightest nervousness. II the
prisoner was affected, he successful
ly withheld It.
In sharp contrast to the demeanor
assumed by Weeks was that dis
played by young Cross.
Standing before the court, mis- head
bowed and his body shaking, Cross
came near breaking down as the
court announced that he would have
to hang. Tears filled his eyes and
he was deeply affected.

SUNDAY WAS AN
AWFUL WINDY DAY
THE WIND BLOWS, BUT HAVE
YOU EVER FIGURED OUT
THE REASON WHY?

Sunday was at"r0tten" day II one
wanted to walk or motor or knock
up flies or something of that nature.
Z The reason is obvious. Old Bor-
cas- was ON the Job and he certainly
made mp for los thine while he had
his inning.
One often wonders Just what the
wind IL good for. and why 1t blows.
The thought is very timely Just now
~ the National Geographical society
has Just prepared an article on "Why
the Wind Blows" which gives much
Information for the seeker after
knowledge along unusual lines. The
article follows:
'sro the layman the worlds rota-
tion plays queer pranks with the at
mosphere," says bulletin issued
from the Washington, d. c., head
quarters Of the National Geographic
society, 'but scientists find the
various swirls following fairly def
mite laws. The worlds winds and
their completely are due in general
to two forces; the rapid rotation Of
the earth which is impaired to the
dir surrounding 1t, and notifications
of this motion due to the difference
In temperature on the earth's sur
farce.
"If the temeprature differences
did not play part in the matter it is
probable that there would be only
west winds in the temperate and
polar ZONES and no wind at all in the
tropics. The situation would be
somewhat like that brought about in
q glass of liquid at soda fountain
into which q rotary stirrer IL intro
duced. The liquid. swirls faster and
faster until finally Ia attains prac-
tically the speed Of the rotating rod.
30, but for temperature differences,
the earth would have the great sea
of air which surrounds It swirling
with It practically at the speed with
which the earth moves at the
equator-approximately 1000 miles
an hour. But since both the earth
and the air at the equator would be
moving at the same speed, there
would be no wind there.
"As one went from the equator he
would find q wind blowing harder
and harder as he approached the
poles. This wind would be from
west to east, the direction in which
the earth is turning. and would re-
suit from the fact that the air was
turning through space actually faster
than the earth. For while the sur
face OF the earth at the equator Is
moving at about thousand miles an
hour sbeing on the rim Of the Wheel
80 to speak, the surface In the tenn
perate zones, being nearer to the
hub IL moving at slower speed.
Buk the air above the equator, swirl
ing at a thousand miles an hour
would communicate Its speed to the
air on each side Of 1t and would tend
to throw the entire atmosphere to
spinning at the rapid equ1torial
rate. As result 1t would outrun
the earth between the equator and
the poles and create mighty west
wind"

DIR. ANGELL ON ATHLETICS

Something new in athletics may
be expected at Yale as one result OF
the administration of the new pres
ident, DR.. Angel. Addressing for
the first time general Yale group
at dinner, the president-elect def
initely revealed himself as on the
side >of those that believe there
should be some reformation in col
legiate and intercollegiate athlet-
les. Anyone who thinks that they
cannot be improved" said ne, sis
either destitute of information Or
imagination, or both"
Saying that the great business Of
every college is to furnish in a four
year period the very best training
mentally, morally and physically,
which it can offer its students, DIR.
Angel declared that a marked aug
mentation of the interest of stu
dents in the world Of ideas must be
created as contrasted with their
present interest in extra-academic
affairs and the passing of courses,
and indicated his purpose TO give
such a broadening to athletics as to
make physical education helpful to
every student and especially for the
hon-otHioto WIN ID oilou VIZ uo7
elected"
"A. bit" understates 1t. As gem
eral thing, physical education in
colleges denotes certain games and
contests called athletics and these
are practiced by only . small class
of students whose eligibility Is de-
termined by tests and try-outs. And
on account Of the competitive prin-
ciple, these athletics often require
such violent exercise as to defeat
the purpose of rational culture. The
scheme of physical education, not
only physical development, but I'm
struction in the maintenance OF
health and bodily vigor, ought to
include, as DR.. Angel suggests, ev-
cry student and particularly those
students who cannot hope to star
in football, baseball or. track or
field events.
DR.. Angel also seemed to init
mate clearly that athletics as at
present carried on sometimes mill
tate against the intellectual and
moral ideals which should be cher
ished at every educational institu-
tion. II there are to be profession
al or semi-professional coaches he
would give them to men who are
not only technically expert but are
essentially fine, sound character.
He very properly says that q man OF
questionable character might better
be in any other position than that
Of university athletic coach. This
is So because the coach's associa-
lions with the young men are more
informal and intimate than those Of
an instructor in any other position.
As president of Yale University
DR.. Angel will be In position to
exert powerful influence in the
working out" of a rational system
Of physical education. N
