practically every industry exceps
farming had experts working for y
to protect It's taxation interests.
In 1871 the l. A. A. and the A.
county farm bureaus Of Illinois
took up the tax question. They
spent nearly q year in studyin,
the matter and found out that ths
farmer wasn't always getting a
squafe deal.
Illinois farm land was having a

ton put on it for state taxation
purposes than other classes Of
property for which the valuation
Of the county boards of review
was used.
This often worked an injustice
Why should land alone be valued
differently for state taxation Dur
poses than other classes Of prop.
erty?
The I. A. A. took the case he.
fore the Illinois tax commission in
the winter of 1921-22. The decis.
ion was against the farmer, but
further raises in valuation wers
prevented. The work of the I. A. A
meant q saving Of $225, 900 in taxes
to Illinois farmers.

The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-09-15

was organized at a meeting of coun-
ty farm bureaus. These county
farm bureaus realized that they
were meeting problems that were
too large for the county to handle
that some sort Of statewide
business organization was neces-
sary if the farmer was to get a
square deal in industry. So the l.
A. A. was formed.
In 1919 it was realized that the
I. A. A. must be greater and more
powerful If it was to become the in
fiuence it should be for the farm
bureau members of Illinois. So a
reorganization was effected and a
membership of 1000 built up.
Since that time the l. A. A. has
become more and more respected
as q power In the industrial devel-
opment of Illinois.
1t has served the purpose for
which it was originally created in
that it takes care Of the problems
which no county, no matter how
powerful, can cope with alone.

The first Livestock Shipping as
ISOLATION was organized by the
Farm Bureau in Rock Island coun-
ty in 1918, in order that the farm
er who produced livestock in less
than carload lots could join with
his neighbor and sell his stock ON
the Chicago market for what il
was worth. The success of this
movement is best shown by the in
crease in volume of business han

ARE FARM BUREAU ANNUAL

Many times in organization work
of the farm bureau, the solicitor is
confronted with the argument that
the farm bureau annual fee or dues
are too high.

AMERICA HER OWN CRITIC

Not so very many years ago, an opera or
concert singer had to have a European name
or at the very least a European education. in
order to be recognized as an artist in America.
Europe is ancient in tradition and inpregnable
in reputation, said public opinion. while America
is young and therefore to be distrusted.
The time has at last arrived. however, when
it is recognized that a great singer may be both
born and educated in the United States. This
has been ratified by no less an authority than
The Metropolitan Opera company of New York
:ity.
During the summer. Kansas City discovered
in its midst a 15-ycar-oid girl with a marvellous
voice. With the civic pride characteristic of
cities in the middle west, it raised $4,000 and
sent her to New Yirk to sing befire the staff Of
the Metropolitan Opera company. The verdict
was immediate and enthusiastic. Marion Tslley
was advised to devote four or five years to care
full study, and during that time to abstain from
the strain of concert work. At the end of that
time, there is no doubt that she will be a great
artist.
This was not a grudging approval after the
merit of a trained artists voice was proved by
actual experience. It was the enthusiastic ap-
probation of a voice yet to be trained, but which
showed unmistakable beauty. Not only are
American artists beginning to be appreciated
but it is acknowledged that America will furnish
aer share OF them.

q Y years 0psFzYE mem.

IIfIIUTTIT u II years operate Them. Inc cos
IS so low that every one, no matter how poor
can have them. When we look forward to wha
IS in the future in the way of education and adj
vancement as we'll as entertainment brought
to US by radio, we can well be devoutly thank,
full that we have been spared TO see this great.
est wonder of all the ages.
The effort of radio is already being shown
in the children. The parent who has wondered
how to keep his boy home at night, how to keep
him out of mischief and how to direct his
thoughts and energies toward development of
his mind and abilities. has found the answer in
a radio set. Give the boy a radio set from
which he can get good results. and Immediately
his attention is arrested and his inquisitive ma
ture wants to know how it is done. He begins
to study it and finds that many other pieces of
knowledge are needed which he eagerly seeks.
Thus. out of a most interesting toy no longer
he has been led to take an interest in electricity
and engineering. that will shape the course of
his future. Any parent who understands what
a radio set would do for his boy. would get it
for him if he had to sell some os the furniture.
We personally know of boys of around twelve
years who knew nothing of electricity, becom-
ing competent to build a set within a year after
they had received their first set, and whose
technical knowledge and language would sur
prise an expert.
The son of the Times editor has a radio
set. and when he gets Havana or Los Angeles
or Winnepeg. he gets more kick" out of it
than if he had won a prize.
To the man who likes fishing. the radio is
the greatest fishing game he ever tried. When
he tunes in. he doesn't know what he is going
to get, a minnow or a whale. He may pick up
someone singing a simple melody. or he may
hear a lecture by Clemenceau. Pershing or Stein
metz. a joke or a wonderful speech by one Of
delight in running over the scale and getting
scraps of programs from New York, Atlanta,
Dallas, Denver or wherever he picks them up.
Mother and sister are also fascinated by
radio. and the long lonesome evenings when they
are alone, are lonesome no longer. Radio does
not grow stale like many other forms of enter
1t is keenly alive, and the perfor-
nance comes direct from the performer to you
as if he were before you. It does not tire, be-
cause it is always new and never twice alike.
Over five hundred broadcasting stations in the
United States offer everything conceivable. and
best of all, it is all free.
To the farmer and his family. the value of
radio is beyond computation. To the old peo-
pie, invalids, and any others shut in or isolated,
the radio means a new world brought to them.
