E. Skinner, general manager Of the
show, telling of plans for excursions
by automobiles, having all the way
from so to 200 cars carrying dele
gates and wearing badges to identify
themselves when they mingle with the
leaders Of the dairy world at this great
agricultural exposition.
Other county agents are arranging
for special trains to bring representa-
tive dairymen to the show. The au-
tomobiles and the sides of the special
trains which will bring thousands OF
farmers to St. Paul and Minneapolis
will be decorated with large banners
advertising the counties from which
the delegates come and the fact that
they are en- route to the worlds great
est dairy show, where they will have
an opportunity to see the east battle
against the west for supremacy in the
cattle show ring and for honors in

Quoted it's first four weeks of business
at cost 45 per cent less than cur
rent charges, according to w. A. Nc
Kerrow, general manager.
The cooperative selling agency,
backed by the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau federation, is charging commits
sion rates Is per cent below prevail
ing rates, he said, and has been able
to pay 20 per cent of it's earnings into
a reserve fund.
Records compiled by the state rail-
road and warehouse commission and
the bureau of markets show that in
it's first four weeks of business, the
farmer-o owned company handled 3d.
554 head of livestock while it's near
est competitor handled 1927 head.
Companies doing the next largest
business in this period handled 1910
and 1924 and 1872 respectively.
One of the most important services
furnished by the new organization
according to farm bureau officers, is
the transfer of stockers and feeders
direct from farmer to farmer at a
minimum cost. In four weeks, the
firm shipped 63 carloads of stockers
and feeders.
"This is overmarketing, and has
undoubtedly depressed the price
There is complaint from some sections
that the farmer is being forced to sell
by his creditors. There can be ne
sound reason for any such pressure
in view of liberal provisions for mar
keting credit both by the federal re-
serve board and war finance corpora

The contraction of the currency indicated, the board said, the degree to which the country had en- tered a period of defiation.
 Characteristics of this period on the banking side have been reduction of loans and bills held, retirement of note circulation. gain in gold and liquidation of investments" the statement said. while on the business side they have been lowering of production, growth of unemployment, falling off of foreign trade and reaction of prices.
 ''The spring months of 1921 would seem, in the light of information now available, to be period of approach to | equalibriun in certain lines of business and of preparation for recovery from de- pressed conditions that had developed
 Government obligations continued tc work out of the banking system of tht country, and into hands of private ol corporate investors, 1t was said, becaus. reserve loans on treasury bonds and cer tificates of indebtedness dropped iron one billion, three hundred million dollar, in June. 1920, to six hundred forty-eigh million dollars in June of this year.

 TRICK DRIVER REPENT

TRUCh DRIVER BEHIND GREEN
 Frank Tho burn of East Providence. an auto truck driver, lost one red light here Thursday night. found aiNother to replace it and eventually landed behind the green lights at police headuuar- ters.
 Thorburn's troubles began when the red globe on the tail light of his truck was smashed. They seemed to be solved, as far as he could see, when he came across a barrier with two red lanterns on it at the tannery on North Main street where road work is in progress. He appropri- ated one of the red lanterns, attached it to the rear of his machine and sped On his way on the Jewett City road to- wards Providence.
 But the tannery watchnlan had seen the truck driver taking the red lantern and promptly telephoned in to police headeuarters, from which Capt. D. J. Twomey dispatched Officers P. Murphy and Myron Morgan in the auto police pa- trol with orders to catch the truck. | There has been much trouble over brok- | en lanterns and lanterns disappearing l from the North Main street road work so that this seemeo like good chance 1 to catch a trouble maker in the act.
 The truck had a start of about 15 1 minutes on the police patrol. but Officer | Murphy fairly burned up the road in the pursuit, overtaking and hauling across i the road ahead of the truck about mile | from Jewett City, and ordering Thor i burn to drive back to police headquar- Aters.
 14ere he was ordered to appear in tht
 city court this (Friday) morning. He
 left the tru@k as a bond for his an- l pearance Thorburn explained that h' l had no intention of stealing the red Ian
 tern but thought he was protecting thu public better by having a reds light or
 the rear of his own machine rather thai
 if he drove on without one.
