FARMERS HEAR TALKS ON POTA-
# a .$$.sss TO EXCHANGE n Ell
Cooperative marketing through the
Minnesota Cooperative Potato Elk
change was discussed at q meeting of
farmers held at the court room in the
court house at Little Falls Saturday
afternoon. It was the plan of the
farmers to organize at this meeting but
the attendance was not large enough
and organization was therefore de-
rerred to a later date.
6. B. Campbell, county agent, called
the meeting to order and explained the
object Of this association. He told of
what had been accomplished by the
farmers Of Michigan through the CO.
operative marketing system, saving
Of 100000 being made. He stated
that local exchanges were being formed
throughout this state and that in this
county two other communities, Randall
and Genola, are contemplating forming
locals.
E. P. Nauertz of Green Prairie, a
director in the state organization, gave
talk on the advantage of potato
exchange. He said that it was not be:
ing formed because Of any hard feel
ing against local potato dealers but to
save the farmer money. The exchange
would not be speculative and potatoes
would not be held for speculation, he
said.

The local mower station WAS nut out

ANCHOR ICE SHUTS OFF POWER
The local power station was put out
of commission for a short time Satur-
day morning when the gates to the
water wheels at the station became
blocked with anchor ice, shutting off
the water supply.
Fortunately the local company was
in a position to secure temporary re-
lief from the Guyana Power company 3
plant until the gates were cleared.
The local company's plant and the
Guyana plant are now connected by a
transmission line built especially fol-
this purpose. Had the Guyana com.
panys' power not been available there
probably would have been no light OF
power here for several hours.

WALKING CANE HAS HIDDEN
SWORD

A local ex-service man who saw ser
vice in France, has in his possession
a souvenir from that country, which
appears to be an ordinary cane, but
which, upon close examination, is found
to be sectional. The handle can be de-
tached and attached to it is a slender
blade, as that of sword. On the side
of the sheath is hole which is thought
to have been a container for poison
which would be applied to the blade
when Withdrawn from the sheath. The
cane is very old one and is believed
to have been used for self protection.
