STATE FARM BUREAU HOME

The State Farm Bureau has put
over some big purchasing smashes in
the interests of the membership. By
one of the great factories the farm
bureau was able to secure two price
concessions in two months against
what promised to be an alright mar
ket. The savings ranged from SO to
$13 ton and, based on the annual
spring requirement of 10000 tons for
Michigan, saved the farmers of the
state more than half a million dollars.
Other fertilizer companies were
forced to meet the farm bureau price
smash.
Last fall on a single purchase of
white arsenic for fruit growers of
western Michigan the farm bureau
purchasing department saved more
than sc on pound. The total saw
ing was $4,000.
Poorer grades of wool made into
blankets by the state farm bureau
wool department is giving the farmer
a fancy additional return on that por-
ton of his f1eeces. Two factories
are busy making blankets for the
farm bureau.
The farm bureau can and does get
cars for farmers when they need
them. Last summer during the fruit
harvest, when cars were scarce, the
traffic departments request for cars
were honored at all times and that
one agency more than 1000 of the
1000 refrigerator cars sent into the
state got by the railroads. The traffic
department is recognized by the rail-
roads as the traffic spokesman of
Michigan farmers.
Lower minimum rates on livestock,
adjusted rate for shipping into south
ern territory, a better rate on
peaches and other fruits, through
rates and through routings on
steam-interurban freight shipments,
and general overhauling of Michi-
gan rates are home run smashes that
the traffic department is seeking for
the farm bureau men and farmers in
general.
More than 100000 pounds of the
100000 pound state farm bureau
wool pool has been sold on it's merits,
graded properly and economically,
something that has never before hap
pened to the Michigan farmer. About
million pounds Of the remainder
has been graded. The graders sort
10000 pounds day. Manufacturers
are grabbing the Michigan product.
Next year farm bureau graded wool
will have an established reputation as
being reliable stuff.
Origin and adaptability of seed in
addition to all other guarantees is
feature of state farm bureau seed
department methods. Michigan farm
ers can buy none but northern grown
seed from those warehouses. No
seed houses are making such a sweep
ing guarantee and backing it up. The
farm bureau also gets the best in the
seed market for it's clientele. One
million pounds of seed handled to
date is its record.
Paint at nearly cost is state farm
bureau purchasing service to farm
bureau members.
Ability to assist in selecting grades
of lumber and the acceptance of ad-
vice offered on what kind of lumber
to use for certain kinds of work en-
abled the farm bureau forestry de-
partment to save some Of it's purchas-
ing members SO thousand on one

The farm bureau traffic depart

audits bills for its members at very
low cost. No charge is made for
claims and bills which cannot be ad-

ELEVATOR EXCHANGE BIDS

Believing that the members of the
state farm bureau appreciate definite
information Of what the various de-
partments are doing and have done
for them, the state Office is compiling
statistics on the activities Of the Ele-

February. The daily bids on ali
grains for the entire month are being

Petrified Head Taken Out of

+ A petrified buffalo head was found
by workmen on the BismarcklMandan

fifty feet under ground, shortly before
noon Sunday. 80 go ..
The lower Jaw was missing but
otherwise the head is in perfect condi-
ton, and the teeth wn;c. we're left
were perfect. Before the workmen
found the head they found buffalo
bones, and it is thought that they may
find the remaining part Of the buffalo
head few feet farther.
Many explanations are given as to
the finding of the head so far under
the surface. 1t is said that evidence
have been found to show that the pres
ent bed of the Missouri river was at
one time west of the present banks Of
the river.

ponement of the bill.
In referring to the minority re.
port, Walter Maddox, league floor
leader, declared that he believed that
the bill should be amended but time
was too short to draw up any amend
ments.

1t is possible, he said, that the bill
will be amended by the senate and
that it may pass in form in har-
mony with the initiated law. !
Postpone Action.
Final action on the rural credits
bill by the senate affairs committee
was postponed Saturday until today
on request of Walter Maddox, mi
nority leader of the house.
A conference OF league members OF
the house and senate was held Sun
day evening at which the bill was
the chief matter discussed. Neither
Governor Frazier or Attorney General
Lemke were present, but it Is said
that they sent word that they did not
wish to dictate, that whatever stand
the league senators and representa-.
tives took was satisfactory to them
Favor Change.
Many talks favorable to following
of the original so-called compromise
plan to make the state bank, in har-
mony with the initiated law, land
and state Industries bank, with pos
sibly the added provision that banks
which wished to might keep their
deposits there. This would do away
with the proposed plan to initiate a
law in the spring reviving the COM
pulsory deposit of public money.
Most Of the speakers took the stand
that the people had acted in the mat
ter and that they did not wish to de-
anything contrary to the expressed
wish of the voters.
No one opposed the change in the
bank, and While no vote was taken,
it was the general opinion that the
leaguers present were favorable to
steps changing the state bank.

SUPREME COURT
ADVANCES CASE
ON BANKS FUNDS

The supreme court may hear before
the end Of the week an appeal from
a decision of District Judge McKenna
upholding the right of counties to
garnishee money of the stdte bank
deposited in the counties.
William Lemkc, attorney-genera]
has asked that the appeal be advanced
on the calendar. Mr.. Iemke said that
he had decided to take the method
of appeal, rather than press his Pc
tition before the supreme court for
an order to show cause, because he
believed that the action would be
quicker by appeal.
The attorney-general charges the
garnishment proceedings are a par:
of plot entered into by bankers and
politicians to hinder the operations
of the Bank of North Dakota and are
not brought in good faith.

by Federal Judge Landis of $42,5OO

ball while serving on the bench
might 60 unchallenged If the motive
back of it was not SO apparent, Rep.
Weley, democrat. Ohio, declared today
in demanding Impeachment of the
judge for misdemeanor. .r
Calling the attention to the action
Of the supreme court of the District
of Columbia in assessing damages
against the big league baseball asso-
citation in suits brought under the
antitrust laws and the indictment Of
players in Chicago, he said:
Asks Question. .
while these matters were pending
in the courts this illegal pact made
Judge Lands chief arbiter. And why
should they select a federal Judge?
Was 1t because they wanted to tell
the people we are not an unlawful
trust because Judge Landis is at our
head? Was it because these baseball
magnates wanted to create a favora-
BILE sentiment with the hope that the
supreme court of the District Of Co.
lumbia would be reversed?
Rep. Weley read letter purported
to be from baseball magnate, say
ing that Judge Lands as federal
judge was worth any price he might
wish to ask. If that was the intent,
Mr.. Weley declared, does the act not
bring it within the law of bribery?
If the magnates who were fined
could, what would keep the indicted
players from employing him.
Changes Needed, He Says.
Judge Lands has a right. to yield
to the pressure Of unyielding combi-
nation but he should not bring all
our judiciary into disrepute. II the
country approves the dual role Of
Judge Lands then the house will ba
called upon to preserve anew stand
ard for 0us Judiciary, then there are
others who might wish to employ the
judges at any price they might ask.
But L do not believe that the
American soul is SO dead as to per-
NIT any of us to escape our duty in
this matter" .
