ACTION EVIDENTLY
PRECAUTIONARY
American Naval Forces Land on
Mexican Island.

Mexico City, May 11.-Foreign Min
lister Ruiz has telegraphed the South.
American mediators in Washington
that several United States torpedo
boats with a transport and tender
have appeared off the island of Lobos,
on the east coast of Mexico, between
Vera Cruz and Tampico, landed q
party on the island and arrested the
lighthouse tenders, who were released
after they had turned over the instru-
ments and apparatus for operating the
lighthouse.
The mediators were asked to make
representations to the United States
government in connection with the
armistice.
Lobos island is near the main route
OF steamers plying between Vera Cruz
and Tampico and has a powerful light
t. guide shipping, one Of the most i'm
portant along the east coast. The
island is low and sandy with nothing
on it but the lighthouse equipment,
though its location might make it of
considerable strategic Importance.

Scandinavian LANGUAGE.

Testimony to advances in teaching
Scandinavian tongues in public
schools was given by Professor A. A.
Stomberg Of the University of Min
nesota, at the final session of the
fourth annual gathering of the Society
for the Advancement of Scandinavian
studies at the university Monday.
Throughout the states of Minnesota,
Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota and Ne.
braska, he declared, forty-two high
schools teach the language, this be-
ing a gain of ten institutions in a
year.
Throughout district schools Of Min
nesota there now are 1872 in forty-two
counties where Scandinavian tongues
are taught at least one hour a day.
A year ago, he said, there were only
eighty-two schools. Polk county has
the highest number, which is seven
teen.

Farmers Want Open Market.
The farmers interested in the co.
operative marketing movement are de.
termined to secure better terminal
marketing conditions. The recent CO.
operative marketing convention in
Minneapolis took steps to carry on the
fight for an open public grain market
and to reform abuses which they say
have grown up in the grain trade.
Some of these abuses they propose to
reform by legislation, others by Gre
ating an open board Of trade, which
will be established in st. Paul in case
the Equity Cooperative Exchange
moves to that city.
Exchange Entirely Cooperative.
The Farmers Equity Cooperative
Exchange is entirely cooperative
organization. 1t is owned by farmers.
The men in charge Of the exchange
work on salary. The profits, over and
above the per cent dividend on CAPT.
tai stock, are shared among patrons
according to the amount of grain
shipped to the exchange.
The movement to establish farm
ers' cooperative grain exchange in
the terminal markets originated among
Equity farmers In North Dakota, but
REINFORCEMENT rapidly spread to other
etates and there are now on the board
of directors of the exchange represen-
tatives Of the principal farmers CO.
operative organizations of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. The exchange has the endorse
ment of the genuine farmers CO.
operative organizations of those four
states.
The farmers cooperative terminal
grain marketing movement is the out
growth of the farmers cooperative
elevator movement. which established
the farmers elevators as important
factors In the local grain markets at
hundreds Of points In the Northwest
These farmers cooperative elevator
companies are now carrying their CO.

terminal MI rkets with tho purpose Of
controlling the marketing Of their
grain from the fields to the actual

The Road Dragging Law.

"The county auditor shall annually
extend upon the tax rolls of the coun-
ty tax of one mill on the dollar of
the taxable property in each town
outside the limits of any village or
city in such town. The money col
lected from such tax shall be paid by
the county treasurer to the town
treasurer to be kept in a separate
fund known as the dragging Fund"
and shall be expended by the town
board only for the purpose of secur-
ing a suitable number Of drags and
dragging the roads of a town. The
town board, on recommendation of
the town overseer, shall enter into
contracts for dragging of the roads
of the town, giving preference to the
main travelled roads and roads con-
shutting mail routes, provided that
not more than one dollar per mile
shall be paid for dragging"

ST.PAUL WANTS
FARMERS Grain
Equity Cooperative Exchange
May Move From Minneapolis.
ORGANIZATION GROWING FAST
Expects to Handle Large Percentage
Of Northwestern Crops Within
Few Years.

Indications are that the Equity Co.
operative Exchange, the farmers ter.
minal grain marketing agency, will
move from Minneapolis to st. Paul
Business organizations Of st. Paul
are negotiating with the farmers and
II present plans are carried out the
headquarters of the farmers co-opera
tive grain marketing movement will
locate in the Sanity City. This means
also that st. Paul will be headquar'
tiers for the cooperative marketing
movement in various other products
in which farmers are interested.
The many Northwestern farmers
who are back of the farmers cooper
alive marketing movement feel that
their terminal grain marketing agency
has never received q fair deal from
business men of Minneapolis. The
Equity Cooperative Exchange has
made steady progress since it was or:
ganized in August, 1912, but it has
had the fierce opposition Of the com
bined grain interests in the Mime
apolis Chamber of Commerce right
from the start. The Chamber OF
Commerce interests are closely af1l
lated with banks and other business
institutions Of Minneapolis.
At the big cooperative marketing
convention held in Minneapolis q few
weeks ago, st. Paul business men in
vited the farmers to locate their CO.
operative exchange in that city. The
fact that the large volume of grain
handled by the Equity Cooperative
Exchange is sold almost entirely to
mills and buyers outside of Mime
apolis, which would make it possible
for the farmers exchange to establish
its headquarters in either city, gave
St. Paul its opportunity. St. Paul
business men see in the Farmers
Equity Cooperative Exchange an op
portunity to get for st. Paul a good
share of the grain trade.
Movement Grows Rapidly.

The Base Ball Game.

The high school base ball team
opened the season last Saturday by
taking the first game of the season
away from Willmar, by score OF
eleven to four. Werner was on the
mound for Litchfield for seven innings
and held the visitors to their few
scores. Peterson pitched the last two
innings and did not allow the Will.
marites to score.
The game was a good one all thru
and very exciting. Several good
plays were made and some of the kind
that are not classed as good also ap-
peared but this could only be expect
ed being the first game. The players
all have a good word for the Willmar
team.-Litchfield Saturday Review.
