REED, Te DAuY ? tative Exchange of Chicago. Trust in Every State. A Big Plan Evolved ‘by the Associa- tions Meeting in Chicago---Prod- ucts to be Held for High Figurers. Chicago, Sept. 5.—Unless the plans ot the farmers’ convention which ad- journed this afternoon go amiss, the farmers will control the market of the United States befure a decade has passed away. Their plan is sim- “We will build warehouses and cold storage plants in every section of the couutry,” said J, A. Everitt,the head of the uew organization. “We will hold our produce until the price ascends. Then we will be in a posi tion to dictate.” The plan is the result of much dis- cussion, There are three prominent organizations of farmers in the coun- try, the American Society of Equity, with headquarters at Indianapolis; the Farmers’ Co-operative Exchange ef Chicago and the Producers and Coneumers union, located in New York and Memphis. The three organ- izations united for offensive and de- fensive work to-day, but they will all retain their individuality. Mr. Ev- eritt, who is the founder of the move- ment, was elected president. WAREHOUSE IN EVERY STATE The farmers expect to erect ware houses in every state in the Union. The members of the American Society of Equity will have charge of the work of organization and give the plan publicity. The warehouses are to be built by the Farmers’ Co oper- That association has a capital stock of 50 million dollars, It will be the duty of its officers to visit the farmers and organize them into suborganizations after the work has been explained by members of the American Society of Equity. The farmers will be expected to in- sure the building of the warehouses. The Farmers’ Co-operative society will find the funds but the farmers will have to guarantee that it will be repaid. When the warehouses are completed the farmers willstore their grain in them. Wheat and corn will be held until the marketiis high and then it will be placed upon the mar. ket. Mr. Everitt says that $1 per bushel would have been a fair price this year. 39 AMORET, MO. (SISLALSS SASS SASS 2 j Riot at "Belgrade; King May Abdicate.

CREW LABORED TWO HOURS. Novinger, Mo., Sept. 12 —With the waters of the overflowing Chariton tiver swirling about him, Godfrey Werren, trainmaster of the lowa and St. Louis railroad, was pinned for two hours beneath an overturned engine a few miles north of here to- day, General Manager W.

The engine and cars turned over, and Werren, who had been riding on the engine, jumped, but was caught beneath the engine and pinned down under the water, which was about 3 feet deep,_By-the-aid— of axes’ and crowbars, and after two hours hard work Mr. Werren was liberated in an| | almost exhnusted condition. A reg- ular train on the same line arrived at the ecene of the accident about 3:30 and Mr. Werren was removed tu Novinger, where fourdoctors were called inconsultation. He will prob- ably recover. Mr. Werren is well known in rail- road circles, His headquarters are at Milan, Mo. He was formerly of Chicago, where he was general man- ager of the Eastern Illinois ra Iroad, For years he ran as condctor on the Burlington between Quincy and Kan- sas City.
