GEDDES SEES AGE IN WHICH
WAR SHALL BE NO MORE
Day Not Yet at Dawn, However, He
Tells University Graduates

Ann Arbor, Mich, June 3O.--(By A.
PD-Even the most prosaic thinkers
dream of an age in which war shall
be no more" Sir Auckland Geddes,
| British Ambassador, said today in an
address to the graduating class of the
University Of Michigan. But only
the most optimistic, he added, dream
that that age is at its dawn"
The optimists are probably wrong
in the detail of time the speaker
said, but they are indubitably right,
the age will come when war will be no
more when peace will reign all round
this spinning globe; for the choice
which lies beofre humanity Is between
a peace of reason and the peace of
DEATH"
On the young recruits of the army
of university men and women" such
as those he addressed, Sir Auckland
said, rests the great responsibility of
aiding the less educated to grasp the
great conception of peace las the
spiritual thing which it Is" The uni
versity trained mind, he declared, was
international because 1t combined the
thoughts of great men Of all coun-
tries.
Relations between the United States
and Great Britain appear to me to be
excellent, )" said the Ambassador, "and
have no doubt will so continue indefi-
nitely into the future"

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

+ Mr.. Wallace proves this by riding
around Washington behind fine car
rage team, owned by his department.
! The balance of the cabinet officials
prefer. the speedier auto, but Mr.. Wal
lace says: Give me a good team
every time" Mr.. Wallace is new in
Washington and there's no telling how
soon he will become a convert to the
Limousine, when in hurry. Be that
as it may, he starts out true to form.
The farm bodies of the country will
have their attention focused on Chi
caSo this week. during which three
| important agricultural conferences are
TO be held. The various important
! farm organizations will all be repre-
sented at these gatherings, by dele
gates, and SO great is the interest in
the work cut out, that Chicago is
expecting to entertain a host of grain
growers, live stock men and fruit grow
ers. The conferences are all of national
scope.
Wallace to Speak.
The fruit marketing conference
opened the series at the Congress hotel
! at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The
committee of seventeen will meet on
Wednesday forenoon and on Thursday
the live stock marketing committee of
! fifteen will meet to outline their plans
for future action. There is a large
body Of fruit growers in Chicago to-
day, California alone having 25
delegates on the ground.
| The secretary of agriculture will
reach Chicago on Wednesday morning
and will address the meeting of the
! committee of seventeen, TO which has
been elected !07 accredited delegates.
! 1t is expected that there will be a
! large attendance of grain growers and
elevator men, who will not have the
Privilege Of voting.
The live stock marketing commit ee
are also assured a large gathering
What these committees may already
have accomplished, or may be able to
accomplish in future, is not alone of
interest to the producer, but is import
ant to the people as a whole 1t is a
matter affecting our general prosper
ity. The plan worked out by the grain
! section will be entirely in the hands
of the farmers and it is expected that
the committee of Is will find a similar
solution for live stock marketing
troubles.

FARMERS DISAPPR0VE
STOCK YARDS PLAN;
USELESS, IS view

CENTERvILLE, Ind, April 5-Dis-
approval of the establishment of
stock yards by the electric lines was
voiced at a meeting Of the Center
township farmers association Monday
night. Although service from the
electric possibly could be given
quicker and oftener it was pointed out
that very good and entirely satisfac-
tory service Is being given by the
yards already established and to
build others and divide the business
would be a needless and probably ex-
pensive duplication. In view Of the
general satisfaction with livestock
shipping facilities at present, it was
thought wise to discourage possible
destructive competition.
A previous article announcing the
proposed policy of the electric lines to
establish stock shipping service, quot
ed Ben Gaiser, the manager of the CO.
operative shipping association, with
the result that many members OF the
association received the mistaken i'm
preston that he was In favor of the
proposed change. Mr.. Gaiser wishes
it understood that this is an entirely
erroneous belief He stated that
scales and yards would have to be es-
tablished before stock could be ship
ped, and as it is possible that scales
would have to be purchased by the
farmers themselves, while he could
not speak for the whole association at
that time, he personally was Of the
opinion that additional yards would be
a useless duplication and in disfavor
with the farmers. This opinion has
now been supported by the action of
the association.
The question Of the charge to be
fixed by the county threshermen's as
ISOLATION for the summer was men
toned and the township chairman.
Gaar Eliason, was asked to take up
this point at the next meeting of the
farm bureau directors and ask for ap-
pointment of committee to confer
with the threshermen' association.
