Special: A complete presentation of the fanners' co-operative societies ol' the Western states will be an interesting feature Of the Iowa State exhibit at the Fifth National Corn Exposition, which opens here on the 27th of this month. Tho exhibit will show the methods by which these soi ?' ties conduct their affairs, and esper'al emphasis will be laid on the co-operative grain eleva tor organizations. A model grain elevator will be demonstrated in ac tual operation, and the exhibit will he supplemented by a series of lec tures, giving full knoweldge of the various phases of these co-operative societies. The development of these farmers' co-operative societies in Iowa has proceeded to a greater extent, proba bly, than in any other State of the Union, and it is especially fitting that such an exhibit should come from this State. The exhibit lias been pre pared under the direction of the ag ricultural extension department of the Iowa State College, at Ames. Il will be demonstrated by C. (?. .Messer ole and H. F. Atwood, both of whom are familiar with the operation of these elevators and the conduct of the co-operative soeieties. This Iowa exhibit is an illustration of one of the fundamental purposes of the National ('ora Exposition-to emphasize and explain the valuable results which have been achieved by individual farmers and farmers' or ganizations in various sections in their efforts to facilitate the handling and systematize the distribution and marketing of the products of the f; rm. making th > process more sat isfactory and less expensive to the I roducer. REORGANIZE REVENUE SERVICE. Collector E. A. Aiken Will He Trans ferred to Florida. (Greenville Piedmont, 20th.) Internal Revenue Collector E. A. Aiken has been transferred to the revenue agents' division of Florida, with headquarters in Jacksonville, as a result of tho annexation of South Carolina to the North Carolina dis trict of the department Mr. Aiken lias hundreds ot friends in tills and adjoining counties who will regret to learn of his transfer. It is said that Mr. Aiken has already put in his ap plication to be returned to Green ville. Tlie readjustment of the ter ritory will have no effect on Deputy Collector lt. Q. Merrick, whose head quarters are in Greenville. A correct account of the readjust ment of territory is contained in the following article from the Asheville ( X. C. ) Citizen : "Internal Revenue Agent It. B. Sams received notice from the com missioner of the internal revenue de partment at Washington that the State of South Carolina has been transfer red to the Asheville district of the department, and the officiais of the local department will be required to cover that State in future. The First Congressional District of Tennessee, which was formerly in this district, \\\> been transferred to the Tennes see department. "The readjustment of the territory in this district, of which Mr. Sams was not ?lied, will make this the lar . < i district, as to territory, in the United Stales in the revenue depart ment and will probably raise the amount of work to the first place in the country. The Asheville district for some time has held second place for number of illi. it distilleries seized 'and first as to other work done in the revenue department. The territory in this district, since this readjust ment, will include all the land be tween the Potomac ind Savannah rivers. "Heretofore the Atlanta district has reported to the commissioner the largest number of arrests of any de partment In the I'lilted States. Since South Carolina is t he scene of much illicit distilling and this Stat?' has 'tuen placed In the Asheville district, there is a probability that Atlanta Will be forced into second place as to the number of arrests made. "One of the worst sections in the United States for illicit distilling ls the so-called 'Dark Comer' of South Carolina. Several years ago when this district, included this State and South Carolina this section of the Palmetto State gave the revenue men more trouble than any other uart of the territory. "No notice of an Increase In the force of revenue men for this district has yet been received, despite the fact that the territory has been en larged and the amount of work will undoubtedly bo increased as a result. At present there are twenty-five dep uty collectors and special employees under the direction of the local de partment. Whether or not the com missioner of the revenue department ai Washington will authorize an In crease in the force here is not known." THE NE WH FROM BOUNTY LA NO. Mis? V?. R.
