EXPRESS SHIPMENTS SEIZED
Wholesale Violations Of Knox and
Webb-kenyon Laws In Shipment
Of Liquor To Capital City
Are Alleged.

Des Moines. - Wholesale indict-
ments against employees and officials
of local express companies by the
federal grand jury for violating the
Knox and Webb-Kenyon laws govern
ing the shipment of liquor will be
sought by the Iowa Anti-saloon league
as result of an investigation into
liquor consignments, made by w. G.
Barber, secretary of the league, and
the Des Moines police.
It is claimed evidence has been Sc
cured that federal laws under which
liquor must be shipped, the minimum
penalty for violation Of which is $5,-
900, have been completely ignored.
Mr.. Barber has furnished the Unit
ed States district attorneys office with
facts which he claims will show:
That certain express companies in
Des Moines are in collision with pow
erful liquor interests to ship liquor
into Des Moines contrary to law;
That liquor is consigned to fictitious
persons and is not delivered to a
bona fide consignee as provided by the
federal statutes. That express pack
ages containing liquor are not lab
eled 50 that they show the contents
and the amount.
Two cases of liquor were seized by
the police and Mr.. Barber at the
Wells-Fargo express Office The war
rant on which seizure was made was
sworn out nv Mr.. Barber. He de-
clares the league will push the case
to have the liquor condemned.
( "We have assurances from the
United States district attorney that
the violations of federal liquor ship
ment laws will be brought before the
federal grand jury at the fall term OF
court" said Mr.. Barber.
Officers have been stationed at To-
cal freight depots and express offices
with instructions to seize all suspic.
ious liquor packages.

DR0NES IN AN ORGANIZATION
Unless Greatest Care 10 Exercised
Enemies Of Agricultural Coop
Grafton Get Into Society.

It would appear that owing to the
very fine principle Of mutual help in
volved. those forming a cooperative
organization would be consistently
loyal in their mutual relationship. But,
on the other hand. unless exceptional
care be exercised by the leaders an
organization from the beginning will
be burdened with drones. cheats, dead
beats, and traitors.
When q grower Joins q cooperative
organization and then refuses to pat
ronize it. he is q drone. He cannot
excuse himself even on the ground of
bad management. for 1t Is his duty to
help secure proper conduct of the
business.
II in selling through his organiza-
ton a producer endeavors to pass on
shoddy, poor-grade products. which in
jure the reputation Of the body Of
which he is a member, he Is a cheat.
The member who uses the special
and private information of the asso-
citation in making sales outside. with,
out contributing to its support. Is q
deadbeat.
The man who joins cooperative
enterprise and then through subtle
ways endeavOrs to obstruct its prog
ress and defeat its purposes is a trail
tor.
Those experienced with cooperative
organizations have known all these
types. They are to be found in prac-
tically every community. They are the
greatest enemies of agricultural CO,
operation. II allowed to dominate with
their dishonest practices. they will
sap the energy, brains. and spirit of

ing of the porkers.
1t is usually a troublesome Job for
one man to load q wagon with hogs.
no matter how we'll he may be fixed
for the business. Some of the hogs
are bound to become excited and do
everything but what is expected of
them. and while the man is trying to
get the stubborn animals up the chute
and into the wagon some of those that
have already entered are apt to break
back.
Besides, one man has to make two
or three trips to get the entire bunch
to market. thus keeping the confined
shoats stirred up and in a heated con.
dition for several hours. while, when
the neighbors club together, all can
be taken to market early in the day.

PRICES OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Problem Confronting Cooperative A.
sociations 10 Not overproduetion
but Underconsumption.

The greatest problem confronting
individual farmers and the big coop
erative selling associations today is
not overproduction but undercOnsump-
ton. writes w. Milton Kelly in Farm
News. There is a tremendous waste
Of opportunity in realizing the maxi
mum value of food products produced.
and both producers and consumers are
the losers.
1t is easy to repeat old and time
worn truths and blame the middleman
and transportation companies for our
shortcomings. but the wide gap be-
tween the poorly paid farmer and the
poorly fed city dweller can be closed
only by a more complete utilization of
food products. We must devise means
to utilize all of the surplus products.
and preserve them in an edible form.
SO that they may contribute toward
feeding our people instead Of going
back to the soil.
The important point II that much Of
the food produced goes to waste be-
cause it Is undesirable to place 1t on
the market to compete with the better
grades at the time the products are be-
ing marketed. This curtails the food
supply of the country and results in
hardship to both producer and con-
sumner.
BY better systems of grading and
classifying farm products, and keep.
ing crude stuff from mingling with the
choice. 1t is possible to obtain higher
prices for the better grades Of farm
products. But unless means are pro.
vided for making use of the Gull stun
and making 1t up into finished prod.
ucts. there Is sure to be q falling Oh
in consumption. the same as would re-
suit II eveW feeder persisted in mar
keting his pig crop as soon as the pigs
attained q weight of 100 pounds.
This is q problem that must sooner
or later be met by every successful
selling association. II 1t is successful
in securing more uniform and honest
grading and classification of the prod
ucts 1t sells. 1t must provide means
for taking care of the surplus pro
duced by its members.
