SLOCUM WARNS OF TRENTON PARR OPENING DANGER OF MILK MERGERS Call* Rapid Development in Merging of Milk Companies Into Huge Corporations Challenge to Farmers. C. W. Slocum, president of the Dairymen's League Co-operative As- sociation, Inc., speaking at the annual met-ting of the organization in Roch- *4>i*iv urg^d-~hisr-hearers Grilse\ theiF influence in support of \farm relief measures whose purpose is to stabilize inaikfctS- In.- other, farm «rop«^i \For his own business at the mo- ment,\ the speaker declared, \the dairy farmer ia not asking for this relle-f, but the time may be near when a fed- eral marketing plan may be neceasary to stabilize dairy products. Because of the direct result of over-production will have on our dairy business, the directors of the Dairymen's League Co-operative. Association have favored a. farm relief measure that would stabilize markets on the pooling prin- ciple. As the MeNary-Htaugen bill was that type of legislation, we sup- ported It. \Dairymen are Interested not only in their own business, but in the con- dition of agriculture generally. The influence of unsatisfactory agricultural conditions in the Avest upon dairymen will b* detrimental if western farmers continue to turn from staple produc- tion to dairying. Interest in Remedy. \We have a distinct interest in leg- islation that will help to stabilize con- ditions for marketing the staple crops of the west. The depression in the west will have a harmful effect upon the dairy industry, if there Is an ex- pansion in milk production. While we are not now producing an exportable surplus in dairy products, we are so near the borderline that a slight turn- ing from grain production to dairying will put dairy farmers In a position similar to that, of the grain growers.\ Mr. Slocum delivered his address before 3.500 dairy farmers from New York state and adjoining portions of other states. He attacked consolida- tions and mergers of milk companies throughout the country which, he de- clared, \have been the most prominent development in the dairy industry in recent-years.\ \This form of merger, taking In segregated markets, drawing their supply from segregated production areas. pi?esent3 • to dairymen in the United States the most important, problem they have ever faced. Evils of Mergers. \Merging over widespread areas does not tend to more economic pro- cessing of milk. Unless It can buy milk cheaper, there can be little saving in joint purchases by a holding com- pany or its subsidiaries. The evils which may flaw from this form of con- solidation are obvloua. •• \The picture these mergers present to the farmers is one of a huge con- cern,! controlling -large- qua-ntitles of milk In many of the principal produc- ing areas, and coupled with this con- trol, .the control of city and county plants. With such control comes tre- mendous power, which, If exercised, may be prejudicial to the dairy farm- ers of. the wholft United States. \Unless prevented by organized dairy farmers, these holding companies have power to drive out competitors, in both buying and selling. Durfng their period of rapid expansion but few attempts will be made to exercise these powers, yet the annual report of a holding company whose subsidiaries operate in this region, called the hlsh*- *r prices paid farmers for milk a factor unfavorable to them. \By solid, united organization in each milk producing region, farmers can meet any problem that may-ap- pear as a result of the operation of these consolidations.\ : Corn Belt Speaker. A threat that the farmers of the corjFi belt might \trample the old party linens underfoot\ was voiced by Wil- liam Hirth. of Columbia, Mo. Mr. Hirth is chairman of the corn belt committee, which represents all western states In the battle for farm relle-f legislation. \Thei time has come,\ he declared.- \when all farmers must Join hands • to the end that we may stabilize and protect our mutual Interests. \If. in the attainment of these ends, Jt should become- necessary for the farmers of the corn belt states to trample the old party lines underfoot, I am sure they will not hesitate.

BIJOU THEATRE FEATURES FOR THE COMING WEEK \Partners in Crime\ Thursday and Friday, June 28 and 29. Gang warfare, fights to the death, riots, speeding police cars—raw virile melo-drama, richly seasoned with the Inimitable comedy. of Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton. That describes' \Partners In Crime\ to be featured at- the Bijou tonight and Friday. There is not a single entertainment bet over- looked in this thrilling arid highly amusing picture. As a straight melo- drama it ranks with the best. As a situation comedy it could scarcely- be esccelled. To cap it all there Is an excellent love motif.

Ford, after spending many weeks in Ireland, came back to Hollywood reeking with folk- rore and eager to transmit feis\ feelings into celluloid.

The story of an old will, which proved' to be so faulty that it would not have held is not without interest to those who have wills to make and kindred to protect. When Daniel Whitaker needed quite suddenly to~m'ak'e~a will wfiieh~\voii!d take care of hi-a family and protect In partjcular a young daughter and .only civiUlr--he—arranged -that-4n—the alternative of her dying without direct heirs the real estate he owned might be used for the benefit of the town of Martinsburg. This disposition of the property was quite in keeping with Mr. Whituktr's long and generous inter- est in the welfare of the town to which he had previously made sub- stantial gifts. The leading men of Martinsburg at that time understood the situation per- fectly. They knew that uMr. Whltaker's Intent was to provide, first of all, and without handicap for the welfare of his loved one3. They knew, too, that he trusted them as re-presentalives of the town With right feeling for him, and his intent, and. his. generous ar- rangement, to see .that no annoyance or interference in the use of the estate should ever befall his family on ac- count of the risiduary clause of his will His confidence In them was well placed. No annoyance or interfer- ence ever did befall his family so long as these men remained. Eventually, however, the-se men having passed away, ill-advised per- sons began to assert \rights\ In the estate, and eventually went so far as to serve an injunction upon his daugh- ter as to cutting trees on the wood- land. The result naturally was to bring up a matter many times previously called to Miss. Whl.taker's notice. The will of her father, drawn in haste, had been questioned by lawyers as to ita legality. Certain phrasings In it were held to make void the will. In the annoyance she felt over the town's in- terference she decided to take the will into court and, If '-necessary, fight the town's right to any part whatever In her father's estate. At this Juncture quite a little hung In the balance. Had Miss Whitaker carried out her intention and defended her right against the town's claim under that old will\ the town would have lost altogether, because events later proved that the phrasing of the will was such that the town had no claim to any of the real estate of Daniel Whitaker. When tested out by the Judge's court, the decision set aside his will and held that the full control and tlt]e to the real estate was, and had since her father's death, been. vested solely in his daughter. The will was not valid. Miss Whitaker, however, did not carry out her intention formed at the moment df irritation. While she had inherited- her - father's quick -resent- ment of meanness and injustice in any form, she had also Inherited his generous Heart. Ilev final conclusion was that she would at once test out that will, that she would do it amic- ably if possible. To thi3 end she In- structed her lawyer to offer to deed to the town of Martinsbun? the land east of, | the East road, but with- the condition tjiat there was to be no fight over the will. The town board, taking legal advice, learned that the will was of so ques- tionable a kind that it would bo to the advantage of the town to tuke the offer. When the will was proved invalid Miss Whitaker, therefore, deeded to the town of Martinsburg the land east of the East road. This comprised all of the land heretofore known as the Whitaker farm, excepting about fifty acres of meadow lying west of the East road. These two meadows now belong to the M. A. Whitaker estate. A misstatement appeared In the Journal and Republican of last week as to the so-called \round harn\. and land owned by Eugene Edick. The property he holds was never owned by any of the Whltakers. He bought from George Reed, who had owned It for some ten years. The town of Martinsburg has greatly benefltted by the Whitakers long residence there. It is pleasant to hear that In recognition of these benefits the present town board has decided to retain the Whitaker's .falls and the adjacent grove permanently as a public possession for the use and pleasure of Martlnsiburg people in da3'« to come. This is exactly as both Daniel Whitaker and his daughter would wish, and Is most creditable to the board. By all these means the vexing ad- justment made necessary by that old and hastily made will has at last worked out a disposition of the prop- erty involved that seems not unfitting. The process of reaching this adjust- ment-took many years, however, and brought about much regrettable action that would have embittered a less gracious spirit than Miss Whitaker's: Those who have property to leave and loved ones to protect may find food for thought in this. story of a vyijl. The haste and weakness df the few last hours of life give little chance to the lawyer or to the dying man. to secure beyond question the peaceful enjoyment of the fruits of labor to the ones nearest and dearest to those who pass away. f M. A. Harris, Execbtor of the M. A. Whitaker Eastate. • - DR. ISAAC W. BREWER. Superintendent of Tuberculosis Hos- pital at Bath , Dies in Rochester, Minn. ^ Dr. Isaac W.
