boosting Indianapolis and then going to
some other city TO buy the things we
need"
The construction Of the proposed food
wall on the east bank Of the river is
looked upon by Mr.. Shank as necessary
because of the danger from flood to the
central part Of the city. He has asked
John /. Elliott, the next city engineer,
to prepare plans for the wall. Mr..
Shank pointed out that the construc-
ton of the wall OF the west side Of
the river increased the danger on the
east side.
Mr. Shank wishes to push the work
of eIevating the Belt Railroad on the
south side and to extend the elevation
to East Tenth street. The road is now
elevated at Washington, New York and
Michigan streets.
The proposed cross town car line would
connect the East Michigan street line
with the West Michigan street line The
new tracks would extend from Michigan
and Noble streets to Michigan and Blake
streets. This would call for the widen
ing Of the street.
The zoning system for keeping unim-
proved streets in condition would mean
dividing the city into four sections with
a man in charge Of eacn. according to
Mr.. Shank.
The main sewers Of the city, according
10 Mr.. Shank, have not been cleaned since
his last administration. 1t is estimated
that it will cost between $4,000 and $780,
600 to clean them.
The construction of a comfort station
at Pennsylvania and Market streets also
is contemplated. The only such station
in existance at present is at Kentucky
avenue and Washington street. There
is available space at Pennsylvania and
Markets streets, as the street ears have
been routed off Market street for some
time and the center OF the street is now
used for parking automobiles.
Youthful citizens are taking it upon
themselves to prevail upon the mayor
elect to retain K. Walter Jarvis. director
of recreation, who viii be replaced by
Lewis Carnefix, city councilman when
the new administration goes into office.
About 200 boys, lead by Samuel Lawrence,
Joseph Walters, John Myers, Lewis
Blidstein and Charles Wechsler went 10
Mr. Shanks home last night for the pur-
pose Of interceding for Mr.. Jarvis. Mr.
Shank, however, was not at home and the
boys promised to return later.
Resolutions protesting against the re-
mOval Of James II. Lowry, superintendent
Of parks. and Mr. Jarvis were adopted
yesterday by the executive board of the
Federation Of Parent Teacher Association
The resolution. which has been sent to
Mr.. Shank, is as follows:
Resolved, That this board enter q pro-
test against the dismissal Of Jan es
Lowry from the park board and walter
Jarvis from the position of recreation
director. We feel that it is TO the best
interests of the city and the schools that
these men be retained because Of their
efficiency and wide experience"
The resolution was signed BIZ Mrs

farmer by getting together and doing
things in a cooperative way. We have
been slow. but l am glad to say that the
organization movement is now sweeping

! Mr.. Gustafson expressed the hope that
the farmers will stick to the American
Farm Bureau Federation. He called at
tention TO the fact that there are many
small organizations and asked that they

| COOPERATION.
The farmer, according to Mr.. Gustaf-
son, receives only IS cent? out OF each
dollar spent by the consumer. He de-
clared that in Denmark the thorough or
ganlzaton OF the cooperative movement
has led to the farmer receiving 81 cents
out Of each dollar spent by the con
sumer.
one or the greatest factors In keep
Ing the farmer down, Mr.. Gustafson told
the convention. is the Chicago Board of
Trade. He declared that this organiza-
tiou is costing the farmers $40, 600, 600 q
year through selling each bushe Of wheat
an average OF 80 times. He said the Board
Of Trade sells the wheat crop of the
world three times each year and that
30 900 men, women and children get their
living and more from this organization.
Unnecessary transportation Is another
evil, according to Mr.. Gustafson, He
said there are many cases Of wheat be
ng shipped from Nebraska to Chicago
and then to Minneapolis, or from Kansas
70 Chicago and then to st. Louis merely
for speculative purposes. He said an
average OF cents TO 3 cents a bushel is
lost through unnecessary transportation.
ORGANIZATION PLANS
TO FINANCE FARMERS.
A total Of $4,000 farmers producing So
600 900 bushels Of wheat annually al
ready have agreed to the cooperative plan
the convention was told. Mr.. Gustafson
said that his organization hopes to make
arrangements to finance farmers so they
will not he compelled 70 dispose of most
OF their grain at harvest time. He said
that at the present time ~ per cent of
oil grain produced is put on the market
within ninety days Of harvest
Mr. Gustafson's talk was the principal
event of the session which was late in
getting under way. James K Mason,
director for Indiana of the grain grow
ers' organization made a short report
Of progress. The meeting was opened
with an invocation by the Rev. f. A. vii

tendent.
Mr.. Lowry is not understood to be in
a hurry to leave the position, which he
has occupied for ten years. The salary
is $500.
Il will stay on the job as long as the
board wants me-" he said.
The Republicans viii have no trouble
in getting two of the members appointed
by Mr.. Shank, Charles A. BoOkwalter and
Dr.. Joseph NJ Berauer, on the board,
since the term of FREQ c. Gardner ex-
pires Dec. 81 and Charles E. Coffin will

Lucius B. Swift, chairman OF the board
of sanitary commissioners, has made pub
lie a statement In which he says he will

publican leaders said they were not
bothering themselves about Mr. Swift 1t
was said that in case it is found neces-

Mr.. Swift from his Job the law provides
proper way in which to do it.

MILLIONS LOST
IN MEXICAN OIL
THROUGH FIRES
GrOducing Companies in Tam
picO Fields Hard Hit as
Wells Burn.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 15.-On-wen Tres
are causing producing companies vast
Losses in the Tampico region.
These fires are becoming frequent. In
the past. because Of great care exercised
in bringing in wells, trouble of this sort
was rare. AS any good gusher might
make the owner 4 millionaire or add to
his millions if he had already reached
that status, the most skilled men OBJ
tainable were employed in the drilling
Of new wells. Some Of these men left
the fields when wages were reduced a
few months ago and others went away
after the shut down because Of the low
price Of oil and the high taxes.
AS numerous men had been trained in
the fields to carry on the work Of drilling
and bringing in new wells little attention
was given TO these departures until one
new we'll after another took fire.
Then 1t was decided that something
was wrong, and now closer attention
is being paid 10 the selection Of drilling
crews.
The Mexican Gulf OIL Company is
the latest loser Of "a milliOn-d0llar welI''
through fire. But for the fire this well.
In the Amatlan district, probably would
have been worth more than a million TO
the company. It burst into flame when it
was brought in and burned for days,
making a great spectacle for the OIL
field workers. While the great We'll
burned oil gushed out at the estimated
rate of 10000 barrels a day, only to be
destroyed as fast as it came to the sur
face.
at was like seeing a torch applied to
$1,000 bills as fast as they came from the
United States Government presses, said
n mornful oil man, in telling OF the
Seene.
Just before this fire the Corona Com
pany, lost a well in the same way, IN
the Amatlan district. But the Corona
well wall not as great a one as that
lost by the Mexican Gulf Company. 1t
burned for only a short time and then
inrushing salt water extinguished the
blaze.
Before .he fires at wells the chief
fire loss n the vicinity of Tampico
was through flames started by light
ming in oil tanks. Numbers Of tanks
were ignited N this way, the Aguila
Company being the heaviest sufferer.

he continued. ARE more profoundly in

There never has been in the worlds
history an empire such as the british

The United States stands solid, i'm

because you are wholly immune.

the opportunity for us by setting the ex-
ample. l may say that we are back OF
you. Mr.. Secretary.
THE question with which we have
first to deal here is Of course one that
mainly concerns the great naval powers
but may say for my part that l have
listened with great joy to the very large,
broad and general adhesion given In prin-
ciple by the governments Of Great Brit
