auto trip TO the north part of the

He was nearly unconscious when he
drove into the garage, and the gar
age men assisted him out OF the car
and took him to DR.. Fritchen'S Office,
where he was given medical atten-

had something to do with the case,
and he lapsed into semi-conscious
condition.

be ready to report even for elect

hours after the polls close. Those
who opposed the bill declared that
there was no excuse for delays in
counting the ballots if proper judges
were selected for this purpose. 1t
was pointed out that in one precinct
at the last election with 1000 votes
east the election judges completed
their work within two hours after
the polls closed. In the discussion II

best bookkeepers and accountants

very few precincts in the state could

No Backward Step in Education
There will be no curtailment Of
funds for the educational institutions
of the state if meeting of the joint
committee on appropriations of the
two houses is indicative of the act
ion Of the general assembly. At this
meeting President JeSsup of the
state university of Iowa and Presi-
dent Pearson of Iowa State College
at Ames with others clearly outlined
the requirements of these institiut-
ions where only absolute needs were
being asked to provide Iowa's young
people with facilities for securing the
education desired. Following the war
these institutions filled up with
students far beyond the facilities
which the board of education, the
faculties and the legislature dreamed
of. Ii has become necessary to cut
down on appropriations made Tor I'M
provements so that provisions could
be made TO take care of the young
people of Iowa seeking an education.
According TO the arguments made

An effort to stir up discomfort
ment concerning improved highways
as provided by the last two general

In most cases distribution of the
market news is done by means of
special news releases to the daily and
weekly newspapers and the farm Jour
nal press. In one instance the market
information is distributed by means
of mimeOgraphed reports mailed di-
rect to farmers and other agricultural
interests. In Pennsylvania the work
Of distribution Is facilitated by eight
reporters located In important market
centers. who supplement the national
news with local information regarding
supply, demand and prices.
The marked increased appreciation
Of the value Of agricultural market
news and Its wider distribution
through daily and weekly reports is
In a large measure due to the pro-
gressive program adopted by the Ma
tional Association Of State Marketing
Officials, which believes that one Of
the prerequisites OF improvement in
the nations machinery for marketing
agricultural products Is national and
local market news service that will
give producers accurate reports as
speedily as possible after the market
ing transactions take place.

following points should receive care
full consideration:
Factors to Be Consjdered

following points should receive care
ful consideration
Factors to Be Considered.
A careful survey should be made TO
determine the adequacy of present
transportation facilities. the reason
aDleness of the rates charged, the ap-
proximate daily tonnage available for
movement in each direction, the char
| acter of the roads over which the
trucks must be operated, and the gen.
eral sentiment of the community to-
ward such an association. The dis
| tance from market should not be more
than 40 miles, and there should be
sufficient volume of produce to war
rant reasonably constant operation Of
the trucks throughout the year.
1t having been concluded that the
cooperative enterprise Will be q de-
cided advantage, only men who have
demonstrated their business ability in
handling their private affairs and who
exercise good influence among the
members of the community should be
selected as directors. The secretary
should be man with energy, tact,
business ability, and high apprecfa-
ton Of the farmers interests. The
capitalization Of the association should
be large enough to permit the issuance
Of enough stock to pay for the trucks
In cash, to assure sufficient amount
of cash on hand as working capital,
and to have enough unissued stock to
provide for frture sound extension Of
the business, as well as a depreciation
fund to replace wOrn-Out equipment.
Make Service the Watchword.
The trucks should be selected only
after thorough and unbiased cOnsid-
GRAFTON of the various makes. Records
Of performance, of cost Of operation
and maintenance, furnished by actual
operators Of trucks rather than by
agents of truck manufacturers, should
be carefully considered in the light Of
present and prospective needs of the
association.
In employing operators merit should
be the sole consideration. Rates should
be based on careful analysis of COM
plete, adequate and accurate infOrma-
tion regarding costs. Accounting
methods should be simple but suftf-
ciently comprehensive to show the ex-
act financial status of the association
at all times.
In determining matters Of policy the
interests Ct the members as q whole
rather than as individuals must be
considered Service must be the
watchword. And to make the associa-
ton a real success, each member must
feel that It Is his association.
