 AGRICULTURAL
 EXCHANGE, ING. Farmers of the State Unite To Buy Large Grain
 Elevator.

Hartford, Conn.,. July 2o-One or the most important actions ever tax en by the farmers of this state IS m yoIyed in the new, statewide coop erstiye association, incorporated under the name of the Connecticut Agricui : tural Exchange. now organizing with eadduarterS in this city. troIn olrlh the young Exchange is showing as tontshing vigor,- drawing its strensth from all parts of the state. The 'Tis- ;nal "organization committee, con- sisting of twentyfour names, was drawn from sixteen towns in six Of our eight counties.
 Without waiting for the full stock to be subscribed. the executive com mittee of this organization has aiready contracted to buy one of the most outfits within the state-the Garber- Northam plant at Hartford.
 The preliminary papers having been passed, the Exchange is already lots and broken lots of feed and grain daily at O saving of several dol lars per ton to its members. Three cars were sent out one day last we-k, two of them going to one town, It Is expected that by Sept 1st (wiien it Is hoped the final trans fer Of papers can take place) the output will average 50 carloads per month, an immediate saving to the haFd-pressed miik-Producers. poul- trymen and other food growers of the state, At saving of even IS cents per hundred pounds the smallest far mer can surely save s25 per year the cost of one share, while for the average grower, his saving should amount to several times this,
 Inc final papers will carry with them the entire trade and goodwill of the GaFber-Northana Company, amounting at the present time to some s75,000 worth of business per month, and very strongly emphasiz- ing the wisdom of purchasing a going business. The "mi1ling-in-transit'' privilege thus acquired is in itself highly valuable asset,

MExICANS OUT OF WORK
Five Hundred Families Here Are
Without Wage Farmers.

Forlorn Mexican faces are seen by
the dozen around the Topeka Provi-
dent association these days. This
morning before ten o'clock no less
to the association for groceries to
keep themselves and families alive
until they found work"
Five hundred Mexican families in
topeka are known to be without wage
earners. There are estimated to be
500 Mexican families in the city. The
failure of the men and women of the
Mexican families to get work is
draining the charity treasury to the
last cent, according to Miss Virginia
Campbell, secretary of the Provident
association.
7 would work if could find
work" is the inyariab1e statement
made by fhe woe-be-gone MeXicans
who apply to Miss Campbell.
sOne Of the Mexicans who came
this morning for work was clean and
bright looking" Miss Campbell said
today. HE said he had tried desper-
ately to get work and found none. He
said that he was not ILL.,, not blind
or crippled, but that for the first time
in his life he had to ask for charity.
And 1 believed him.
In one Mexican family, Miss Camp
bell said, there are thirteen members,
four of whom have been wage earners,
but none of whom is able to find any
kind of work.
More than one hundred of the MeXi-
can families have been assisted by the
Provident association, but the situa-
ton is growing SO acute that the as
ISOLATION cannot cope with it as il
would like to. The state free employ
ment office is helping with the fur
nishing of employment, but the en-
ployment available thru that office is
not adequate to meet the need.
Now that spring cleaning is in order
with many residents needing workers
by the day for yard. garden and house
work. it would help meet the unem-
ployment situation if those in need OF
cleanup help would notify the state
free employment office. telephone

help there, to, call the Provident asso-
citation office, telephone 1886.
No one needs to be able to speak
the Mexican language to handle Mexi-

Mexicans~ understand enough of Eng
lish to take instructions about prac-
tica1Iy all kinds of work. They are
so anxious to get work, she said, thai
| they give excellent service.

CREDIT FOR SERVICE
Fred p. Hopper Asks That Pro-
visions of Adanison Act Be APP
piled to Prison Record-Writes
Governor for These Credits.

Fred P. Hopper, who is serving
term in the state penitentiary for
grand larceny, wants provisions of the
AGamson act applied to prison service.
He has written TO Judge C. w. Smith.
executive clerk in the governors Of
fiee. asking for time credits for war
service with time and a half for ever
time.
Hopper went to the penitentiary
from Wyandotte county. Now he
hears the call of the harvest fields.
His soul yearns to be among the wheat
shocks and he longs for the hum of
the thresher and reaper. 1t is some
months until Hopper is eligible for pa
role under the, established system of
Things.
But Hopper has an idea. The gen.
eral policy of the Adamson act ought
to apply in establishing prison senior
ity, he argues, and due credit should
be given for service of country. Hop
per servedAin the world war. He was
also in the fighting in the Philippines
and made pilgrimage to China and
one to Cuba, too. He wants this serv-
ice credited to his prison term. Where
by he would not only complete his
term, but would have several months
to spare. Also, Hopper urges, he
should have time and a half for over
time, which would provide a sufficient
surplus to cover a sentence for an ex-
ira bank robbery or larceny act
