The Chamber of Commerce has un Schepp Bros, have about perfected another device, this time one for use in drilling oil well3 that looks as tho it might make a great change in that business and incidentally make the For the first time in history a local of the Farmers Union entertained the members of a Chamber of Commerce, this meeting being at the College Hill school Monday evening. The meeting was remarkable for some other reasons. The Chamber of Commerce went primarily to hear a discussion of farm problems by a farm leader, Ralph Snyder, who is not however connected with the Farmers Union, but is president of the Kansas State Farm Bureau, another organiz dertaken to get a line on how Manhattan people feel about a water softening plant. The canvas so far ss made showed 1027 for, 85 against and 97 wanting more information.

The plan has been if it was found that the folk3 in Manhattan wanted the plant, that then the other steps would be taken to bring it to a vote The expression is such that there can now be no question but that it will come up within a few months, probably at the spring election. The cost of the plant is estimated under $70,000 and the cost of operation about 25c a thousand cubic feel. was like. Mrs. Marjone morris superintended the making thereof.

C. M. Breese ate three bowls of it and then went out in the kichen pretending he was going to help wash the dishes. Fred Jensen, who thinks that getting the folks all together, town, country, and college, is the biggest thing in the world, has been bubbling over with joy ever since, whether that is due simply to the oyster stew, the fact that his wife came home next day, or because he thinks some of the other Farmers Unions may give him an invitation, or what, but he is happy anyway. Following is abou.t the crowd that went out from the C.

They have' completed a model and showed the Tribune man how it works and it certainly bores a hole in the ground without waste of time and it might go clear through the earth if the cable is long enough. The working device will be a machine 60 feet long and 6 or 8 inches in circumference and weighing about three tons. At one end of this machine is the regulation drill used in drilling the deep wells, at the other is a long, clyndrical motor, specially designed and built to place in this limited space.

This is a perpindicu-lar motor and proper gearing carries the power and operates the drill. The ation of farmers, one that might be termed a rival organization except that they are finding that they are not rivals but co-worke in a common cause, as evidenced by this meeting. Another remarkable development of the evening was that the Chamber of Commerce came away impressed with the need that all the Chambers of Commerce should be co-workers with these farm organizations and working to the same ends. This was the surprising fact for the member of the Chamber of Commerce were in part expecting something of a discussion of Country vs. Town Interests, Bank; S.

W. R. C. CONVENTION fThe Fifth District Convention of the W. R.

C. was held at the Community House Tuesday. The day was well spent and the program in the evening swa most enjoyable. At noon the delegates were given an auto ride by the Chamber of Commerce and saw Another unusual feature of a rural meeting of this sort was that the president of the Agricultural College and should be there, not only as college men with that interest, as members of one or the other, or both of the organizations. And then a happy set of circumstances brought Jake Mohler of fTopeka there.

This was a meeting in a country school house, with something like 125 people present. Mr. Ralph the principal speaker discussed the market situation, particularly the wheat market, with a comprehensive grasp of all the great factors and influences that must be considered and some measures of a corrective measure such as a tariff law, control of the board of trade, and extension of credits to foreign countries. He did not object to the application of the trade law of supply and demand fixing prices, he did object to manipulation that prevented the operation of such law, giving the farmer a small price when there was no surplus. Short talks were made by George Clammer, president of the Chamber of Commerce, President W.

W. Jar-dine of the Agricultural College' and Jake Mohler, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. A most pleasing part of the pro-pram was the singing by the Christian Church quartette: Tom McClung, Dr. La Dooley and Clifford George. They kept the audience happy whenever they had a chance.

The social part of the evening was a great success.
