of the greatest differences between the farmer and the manufacturer is that the manufacturer knows the market for his product, the cost of the pre- duct and the most advantageous way of marketing. The farmer seldom, If ever. has this information.
 "The United States, annually, rais- es as much eggs and poultry as will amount to the cotton crop and yet $400, 1000 000 worth of this produce is wasted every year for lack of proper information in marketing. This amounts to about 40 per cent of the entire egg and poultry production and the same ratio in other perishabie produce prevails.

RELIC OF OTHER DAYS
George Pass, Jr., Urearthed Chip
! That Was Sold Patrons BY Old
Street Car Line
From TUESDAYS CaIiv

Fr~w Tues17VS '3a|iv
George Pass, Jr., of the firm of
George Pass & Son, architects,
while working in the garden at the
rear of his home, unearthed what
locked like a large copper cent. Up
on examining the piece he found that
it was one of the chips" sold to
patrons of the horse car line that
gave Mankato such metropolitan
air away back in the early nineties.
On one side of the copper piece are
the words, Good for One Fare" and
on the reverse side is the picture of
a street car, drawn by horse, and
the nameIr" Mankato Street Ry. Co."
Many of the young people of today
can remember the old horse cars,
which were to them the ideal of
luxurious travel at that time. The
line ran from the lower end of Front
street to Sibley park, and had a
branch up Center street toward
Tinckomville.. There were several
handsome cars in operation, and the
conductors were very obliging. They
would carry woman from either
end of the line up to the main part
of the city, wait while she did her
shopping and then carry her back,
all for one small fare The company
was organized by John A. Willard,
Stephen Lamm, George Fl. Clark,
William Farr and John G. Noe. The
company was capitalized at many
thousands of dollars, but their idea
was in advance of the times, it
seems, for the company failed at a
loss of about $4,000, the promoters
losing all the money they had put
into it. Cars that had cost hundreds
of dollars were sold at about twelve
dollars each to whoever would buy,
and some of them are still in exist
ence around the city, being used as
chicken houses, etc.

From Tuesdays Daily.

Who has an old log cabin? This
question should have an Interesting
answer, for some such relic of the
early days, weatherbeaten and VEN
cradle with age will no doubt be
found within the surrounding locali-
ty. Whoever has such leg cabin
will earn the gratitude of the COM
mittee in charge of the Mankato
pageant by donating it to be used in
staging one of the prettiest scenes
which will be put on.
Six OK teams to be driven by the
yoke are also required, and anyone
owning an OK team should commun-
icate with the committee and donate
the use of their OK team for the day.
The OK teams will be used to add
realism to the scenes of early days
, among the pioneers.
During meeting of the executive
committee yesterday afternoon, the
chairman of the home coming COM
mittee suggested that the home COM
ing feature be extended over four
days. Bonfires would be built upon
all the hill tops on Saturday even
ing, which would be the first day of
Z
coming beacons to greet the returned
former residents of this city. On
Sunday following special services
will be held in all the churches of
| the city in honor of the visitors, and
| it is hoped to have an "old settlers
! picnic on Monday. The next day will
be July Fourth, the day of the great
historical pageant of Southern Min
| nesota, and would be fitting climax
! to the four days festivities. AS the
home coming of st. Johns Episcopal
church follows in the latter part of
the week, many of those who came
for that event will be able to come
! in time for the big Mankato pageant
and homecoming. The home coming
committee are getting into shape a
vast list of names of former residents
and these will all receive an invita-
ton to attend. A number of bust
ness matters were talked over by
the committee, ad work will proceed
steadily from now on. The publicity
/ committee held a meeting in the
Commercial club rooms. at five
O'Clock last evening and talked over
the best methods of advertising the
pageant. The matter of publicity was
left in the hands of E. F. Soaring
chairman of the committee, and sec
rotary of the Mankato Commercial
club
The project of building a hugh
auditorium for the seating of the
immense crowd which is expected
was discussed, and will be definite
ly decided upon later.
