In the last week OF August a tour

OF railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
and number OF American grain ex.
perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop a
good average one. but the quality OF
the grain grown was admittedly OF
the best quality, and more than one
OF the visitors stated that although
the yield might have been larger. the
quality could hardly have been i'm.

State Commissioner Slater Shows How
Dealers May Be Brought to Conform
/ to Food Laws by Little vigi-
lance on the Part Of Their Customers.

Consumers may play an important
part in the effort to secure pure food,
according to E. K Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner. Mr.. Slater
spoke yesterday afternoon at the pure
food show in st. Paul on HsThe Battle
for PURE Food" He said in part: =
seThe aim of our pure food laws and
their enforcement is to require the man
ufacture and sale of food 2 products
which are pure and wholesome and
which are sold for just what they are.
If this can be accomplished, the whole
intent OF the pure-food laws will have
been carried out.
: Minnesota IS pure-food laws are rec
ognized as among the very best in the
country, and the quality Of the food
stuffs sold in the state is far above the
average Of the country. This condi-
tion of affairs has been brought about
by. the rigid enforcement Of the law,
supplemented by the cooperation of
those interested in placing goods upon
the market. "a. =. -. ,.:..,rsr .:..
every honest manufacturer and
dealer is an advocate of pure-food laws
and their proper enforcement. The
dealer who is striving to build up a
demand and reputation for his goods
is enabled to do so because his com
petltors, goods are compelled to show
up in their true light and appeal to
the consumer for just what they are.
Good quality demands good price, and
all grades are thus placed upon proper
competing basis. -
80 Honest dealers, therefore, welcome
pure-food law enforcement, as thew
know that they are benefited thereby:

insist upon guarantee from said re-
taller. He can examine the labels on
the packages Of food he purchases, and
decide whether the manufacturer is try
ing to sell his goods for something bet
ter than they really. are. II such Is thAE
case the consumer can call the dealer %
attention to the case and get an ex-
PLANTATION. If every consumer in oirs
state would become sufficiently inter
ested in the subject to take it up with
his dealers, there would be little trouble.
in getting the dealers to sit up ana
take notice. They are in the business
to please their customers, as they know.
that is the only way to gain and hold
trade. The battle for pure food Is an.
suits for the right side. The dishonest
manufacturer or dealer is finding Min;
nesota very untenab1e territory to work
in, and this condition Of affairs may
be. still further improved by the cons
tinued co-operatfon Of all good, reliahle

VOTING MACHINES ARE
GIVEN PRACTICAL TEST
st. Paul Burghers So Well Pleased that
They Consider Buying a Machine for
q Each Precinct.

! The use Of voting machines in st.
Paul at the city's recent municipal
election fully demonstrated to the minds
Of the officials in charge Of the election
the efficiency of machines both in the
matter of accuracy and as time savers.
Two machines were used, and in each
case within five minutes after the vot-
ing closed the returns were in the hands
Of officials at the city hall. One ma
chine was used in the fourth precinct
Of the seventh ward. There 38s votes
were handled without any trouble. In
the fourth precinct Of the eighth ward
another machine was in service. There,
because of the many men in line at the
hour Of closing the polls, 7 pm, it was
impossible to get all voted till 1922, but
at 1926 the vote Of the precinct, $40.
had been telephoned in detail to sthe
city hall. In this precinct there were
large number Of working men. and a
great number came at the same time to
vote, and caused some delay, but it was
thru no fault. Of the voting machine. :,
The fifth precinct Of the sixth ward
was the first Of the precincts in which
no machines were used, to make a re-
port. This precinct had but fifty votes,
but it took three hours to count and
tabulate the vote. .I
With neither Of the machines was
there any trouble about the voters spn-
derstanding how to register their votes.
The machines are simple of operation,
and men who had never seen them be-
fore, as was the case with most Of the
voters, had no trouble in using them
with speed.
In view Of the successful use Of these
two machines, ST.. Paul is now consid-
ering issuing bonds for the purchase of
III machines, one for each precinct of
the city. Bids for these machines have
already been called for. ..s

The recommendation of the board Of
control to the members of the Mime
sofa delegation in congress was with a
view to keeping pace with the harvester
and binding Irvine trust which for years
has looked upon the production of pris-
on Irvine in Minnesota with disapproval.
Recently it established the Interna-
tional fax Irvine factory in ST.. Paul,
with which to make a binding Irvine to
be sold cheaper than the Minnesota
prison product. . : =, - . - - ~ : :
Trust Gets Even. - ~
In retaliation for this attack of the
trust, the board Of control threatened
to sell the Minnesota prison Irvine in
other states where the trust at present
has no competition. The passage of
the bills in question in congress would
have prevented the board of control
from ever carrying out the threat. The
bills are being urged as measures in
favor of laboring interests, but it is
suspected that the Irvine trust. has a
finger in the pie. -. :: .
| Last year the Minnesota prison plant
produced 100000 pounds of Irvine.
This, year the output will be increased

next year or two to increase: the out
put to between 100000 and $4,000,
900 pounds. So far, the prison has
easily sold its entire output to farmers
