Says Manager. - ~. s :
The cooperative livestock selling
agency, established on the South St..
Paul market with the backing of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation,
has made record "never before ap-
preached in the history of livestock
marketing by farmers" according to
an official statement sent by the
American Farm Bureau federation to
county farm bureau officers.
The Central Cooperative commits
sion association has handled as high
as 20 per cent Of the business on the
market in one day, it's figures show.
During it's first seven weeks of bust
ness, it has handled 6O,165 head of
stock; its nearest competitor handled
24,3O7 head in the same period, and
the firm doing the next largest bust
ness handled 2O,793 head. The asso-
citation has topped the market on cat
tie, selling a carload Of LOO pound
steers and heifers for 50 hundred
weight, w. A. McKerrow, manager,
says in report to local shipping as
sociations.
''The livestock producer sees an OPP
portunity of building up their market
ing agency on efficient standards by
assembling large volume of stock of
various classes, thus giving the buyer
an opportunity to purchase in large
quantities, and making it possible to

was a puzzle, and maybe a larger
measure of success at home than is
generally known. He moved about

Autumn Leaves.

1t may be that our autumn color
crop will fail. A hard spring and a
hot, dry summer, and now it rains in
a gray and dismal way! With these
discouragem the leaves may not
turn from green to gold and crimson.
The elms, beeches, lindens, birches,
may not fling out their yellow BAN
ners, and the dogwoods, gums, sumacs
and the oaks may not put on their
robes of red. But while there's life
there's hope. and the trees will do
their best. They will not disappoint
us if they can help it. Up New Eng
land way, it is said. "the crimson
flares of the sumac and the brilliant
yellow Of the maple are missing this
year. There are few crimson banners
on the oaks. Most of the leaves seem
to be turning from a dusty green to
a dusty brown. They dry up prema-
turely and blow off the trees without
assuming any brilliance."
When New England autumn lacks
that color which has inspired many
poets there is a prospect that Potomac
autumn may come and go without its
customary show Of glory.

the great civil war President. and set
up by the first Lincoln memorial as
ISOLATION.
The present proposal is to re-erect
this historic Lincoln monument at
Fort Stevens. Col. Sheriff., in charge
of public buildings and grounds. and
custodian of the statue, is quoted as
saying that he believes no more ap-
propriate site could be selected for it,.
and that he will ask Congress to au-
thorize it's removal to Fort Stevens.
Representative King of Illinois. who
has fought hard to restore the statue
to its original site in front of the
present courthouse. is unwilling that
any other site should be considered.
Congress ought at once to re-erect the
statue either on the original site Or
at Fort Stevens. The statue should
not fall between two stools or two
sites. Lincoln's statue should be res
cued at once from it's present dis
honoring location.

Useful Letter Carriers.

Postmaster Chances discovery that
there are 45S vacant houses for sale
and 100 vacant houses for rent in the
District illustrates the use to which an
already efficient force of men may be
put. The survey was carried on by
the letter carriers of the Washington
city post Office, and was completed
overnight. Penetrating as they do to
every corner Of the District, it is to be
presumed that the carriers missed
scarcely vacant house. Even if there
is no sign on the building the carrier
knows whether any one lives in it or
not, because he knows if he delivers
mail to it or not. Everybody gets
mail. Also he is likely to know if the
house is for sale or rent, sign or no
sign.
As interesting as the findings of the
postmaster are in themselves, the use
Of the carriers for such a purpose is a
novelty. In the past the mailmen have
aided largely in liberty bond and other
drives. Perhaps in the future, under
the direction of forward-looking post
masters, the carriers may render still
greater public service, along with their
regular work. The post Office is an
agency that comes into the most in
innate contact with the daily life of
the people.
Perhaps it's functions have been too
narrowly limited to the mere handling
of mail and related businesses. The
tendency in government offices has
been to broader and broader assump-
tions of duty. In the Post Office De-
partment the Postmaster General has
indicated his desire to give more
and more service to the American peo-
pie through the post Offices.

The Regular Session.

Leader Mondell of the House wants
the business for which the special ses.
sion of Congress was called cleaned up
before adjournment day. He advises
against bequeathing anything to the
regular session. Clear the table COM
pletely. The regular session will have
business enough of it's own to trans
act.
An excellent suggestion. 1t should
by all means be adopted. The regular
session will have d crowded card of it's
own, and the measures will be such as
to consume much time in debate.
Even the routine will have to be han
died with more than ordinary care.
Providing for the support of the gov
ernment under the new conditions
that exist, with the people complain
ing of the tax burden and economy

Mr.. Mondell suggests June 1 as

good day if it can be made. But some

usual. probably the month of Decem-

that his presence in the conference

at home, and he will be at liberty to

with words, and the conference will

talent.

cause the Homestead" has practically

slant call of the rummage sale keeps

But it is principally because Of these
days OF apartments there Is no attic
to keep things in. We are always IN

q matter of old clothes-it stands for
a. respect for things that have served

Our present discarding of the habit
of saving old things. whether for SEN

titude toward life. We have no

FEDERAL ORDER EFFECTS DEAL.
ERS IN CALVES.

An order was issued by the United
State Bureau of Animal Industry on
July first that is going to mean some
thing, for better or worse. The order
provides that no calves shall be shipped
from one state to another without
first having been tested for tuberculo-
sis. 1t doesn't say how old the calves
shall be or what test shall be used.
Now it happens that when people in
other states want calves they are very
apt to give an order to one of the dozen
local dealers advertising themselves in
agricultural papers as in that business.
OF late there has been very little call
for them but when the demand comes
what is going to happen? 1t costs
three dollars to test single calf, but
