potato crop, but If such an organiza-
ton was to be a success it must hold
membership in the live stock ex-
change as the rules of the exchange
prohibited the members from trading
with companies which did not hold
such membership.
Here again, however. the farmers
were up against a snag for the rules
Of the exchange were so drawn as to
prevent cooperative companies from
acquiring membership.
This point was covered by two
rules, one Of which set forth that any
company doing business on the ex-
change should have at least one seat
for each three members of the firm.
This Of course would be prohibitive
for cooperative association with its
large number Of members. The other
rule was SO drawn as to forbid the
giving Of rebates or patronage divi-
dends" which was an integral part of
the cooperative system. a
These conditions seemed to effec
tually prevent the application Of the
cooperative system in its larger sense
to live stock marketing. They existed
when the Minnesota legislature began
its session in January, 1921.
That. Legislature, however. had
promised to help the farmers
market their crops on'a profitable
basis. The members believed in
keeping their promises. Accord
| ingly they set to work to remove
the obstacles which had been
placed on the farmers road to
market with their live stock.
| They have solved the problem,
and that without invoking state
ownership or any other Social
istic features, MS will be told in
the next article of this series.

Wednesday night or Thursday.
At the point where the Victoria
grounded the Indian river spreads
across four-mile expanse of
marsh with but a narrow channel.
The place is several miles from
any landing accessible even to a
small boat. Ordinarily, passing
river craft might have come to the
aid of the house boat, but today
luck had cleared that section al
most completely of traffic. The
vessel apparently was not dam
aged.
With four of his companions on
the cruise, the president-elect put
out in the Victoria's launch shortly
after noon and reached New Smyr-
ma at o'clock. After a vain search
there for vessel powerful enough
to pull a houseboat off the sand

clubs. After he had arranged for
the rescue tug he played golf until
dark and had dinner as a guest of
