PRECIATIVE OF COURTE-
SIZES SHOWN.

The Madison contingent of repre-
sentatives at the grand lodge meet

er 1000 visitors were present for the
fine welcome accorded by the recep-
ton committee that saw all in COM

TAFT LOOMING To
SUCCEED WHITE
AGE LIMITATION MAY BEAR HIM
HOWEVER--HUGH ALSO
IL MENTIONED.

Washington, 22.-The choice of a
successor to Edward Douglass White
as chief justice of the United States,
was one of the mostwidely discussed
subjects today in official circles of
the capital. Although the specula-
tion centered chiefly about the name
of former President William How
ard Taft, there were many indica-
tions that President Harding was far
from a decision and might find the
selection a difficult one.
All indications pointed to cOnsid-
cradle delay in making the appoint
ment.
Another whose name has been
linked repeatedly with the highest
judicial post is Secretary Hughes, of
the state department, a member of
the court until he retired in 1916
to accept the republican nomination
for the presidency.
One circumstance which now gem
orally is suggested as a barrier to
such a transfer is the prominence al
ready assumed by Mr. Hughes in
view Of the important phases through
which the nations foreign affairs are
passing.
In respect to Mr. Taft some repub-
lican senators were recalling today
the bitter controversy they had with
him as president at the time he pro-
mulgated his rule against the ap-
pOintment of justices who had pass
ed the so years mark. 1t was de-
scribed as an entirely arbitrary rul-
in*, having no foundation in legal
regulations. Mr. Taft, himself will
be ga in September.
In some quarters there have been
suggestions that a temporary solu-
ton of the problem might be reached
by the promotion of one of the pres
ent justices. The names most fire.
quently mentioned in connection
with such a possible promotion are
those of Justice Day, of Ohio, and
Justice Holmes, of Massachusetts.
Should a promotion be made, the
vacancy thus created would be gen
orally expected to go to George
Sutherland, a former United States
senator from Utah, and former pre-
sident of the American Bar associa-
ton. During the last campaign Mr..
Sutherland served in Mr.. Harding's
headquarters at Marion and has con-
tinued since the election close friend
ship of many years standing with the
president.

MARKET BUREAU
PREPARES FORMS
TO AID COOPERATIVE ASSOCIA-
TIONS IN COMPLYING WITH
RULING ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL.

Pierre, May 21.-The state mar
keting department has framed a
form of artOcles of incorporation for
cooperative marketing associations,
following the ruling of the attorney
general that such associations can
not be formed under the law with
out they issue capital stock.
Other forms have been put out
from different sources, but in some
cases they do not take into consider
alton the ruling on this feature and
may not stand a test on the forms
so prepared. The department has
also prepared a set of bylaws for
such associations, which also cover
the features of the law as endorsed
by the ruling of the attorney gem
eral, and these will be supplied TO
any such association which desires
to organize.
The department also is calling at
tention of cooperative associations
which have been formed in the past
that under the articles as drawn they
may be open to question as they
were drawn on their face in compli-
ance with the laws OF South Da-
kota," and this leaves them open to
question as to whether they are un-
der the cooperative association reg
ulations or under the stock COM
pany regulations.
This can be cured by slight
amendment to their articles specific
ally showing where they stand as to
cooperative organization, and in
case of some of the older associa-
tions such amendment might save
litigation in case any legal questions
are raised as to just what kind or
associations they may be.
The department is detoting con
siderable attention just now to the
organization of cooperative market
ing associations of different classes
over the state. The wool pool IS one
of these, which works in cooperation
with the wool growers associations
of the state for the handling of the
wool clip of this year, and along that
line the marketing department mas
tentative plans for the marketing OF
a portion of the clip of this year di-
rectly with manufacturers of woolen
products instead of through brokers.
The potato marketing association
is another of those associations
which works with the potato grow
ers' association of the states, and
which will work toward better grad
ing and marketing facilities OF the
potato crop of the year. The grow
ers' association attempted to take up
this work last year, but the market
ing association expects to pay more
attention to that end of it than the
growers can devote to the disposal
of their products.
Associations for the marketing OF
farm products generally and live
stock shipping associations are De-
ing formed at many points in the
state, and the farmers are attempt
ing to get better prices through
their own efforts instead of asking
the general government to attempt
to fix prices.

Chicago, May 21.-'It's easy for
a bandit queen to vamp a sporty

brunette and buzom, smiled as she
told the authorities Wednesday just

She confessed she had been the

motorists who picked up girls in the

she told Capt Dennis Malloy. Some
times I'd work il alone and some
times I'd take another girl along.
We'd stroll along a boulevard until
we saw a real sporty looking car

that if | stayed out late I'd have to
go home and tell another girl friend
of mine, so she wouldn't worry. He'd
drive to where told him.
I'D direct him to some lonely
