Mcclure, General Manager Of
Cooperative Creameries,
Outlines Situation 49,,
COOPERATION PLACED.
STATE FIRST, HE. SAYS
Implores Farmers to. Continue
to Make Minnesota Butter
Finest: in the World
Bv A. Mcclure

For rs years Minnesota has been
recognized as the greatest butter state
in the Union. Minnesota won this dis
tinction chiefly thr the quality of but
ter produced. Minnesota has made
high. quality butter because of its
600 cooperative creameries.
Other states built cooperative
creameries at the same time Mime
sofa was building its creameries, but
in: the other states the cooperative
creameries have been largely killed
off. In Minnesota they have survived
but they are by no means. safe.
Twenty five years ago the coopera-
tive creameries manufactured prac-
tically all the butter that was made in
Minnesotss At the present timet there
are 1000 cream stations scattered
throughout the state and owned by
the centralizers. ..'
The centralized system is what kill
ed off the cooperative creameries in
other states and they are now making
every effort possible to get control of
the butter industry in Minnesota. To
this end one of. the largest central
izers in, the United States has announ-
ced, it's plan to establish sweet cream
creameries in: Minnesota. It is doing
this in order to be able to compete
, with the cooperative creameries on
the New York and Philadelphia mar
kets where the. consumers demand
high quality butter. The centralizers
have practically all the other butter
markets of the United States, and
they are now making a drive to get
these two important markets.
The establishment of sweet cream
creameries in Minnesota by the cen
tralizers is putting into effect the
most dangerous weapon the farmers
creameries have yet had to go>against.
The cooperative creameries in Min
nesota have kept in the lead because
they have made better buttr. than
tn centralizers; but now, with the CEN
tralizers taking the field for high
quality butter, the cooperative cream
cries will have to put forth except
ional effort the hold the ground that
they have made during the past Is
years. - > ~.
The Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries Association, Inc, has seen this
competition coming, and fortunately
for the creameries it is prepared to
met it; 355 cooperative, creameries
have become members Of the state
association, and through this COM
bined power they are going to be able
to wage successful battle. l.
The association has organized the

Designed to prevent conditions
which Senator Cantwell deplored in
defending the bill, the new measure
hits at the situation not only at Elk
ton, known as Maryland'S "Gretna
Green" but also at Rockville, the
rendezvous for many couples from
the District of Columbia.
Senator Cantwell declared mar
riage is becoming more and more
commercialized every day under the
existing law. and conditions in Elk
ton are getting worse daily. Fee
splitting by ministers is the practice
to meet the competition among
clergymen. We have virtual mar
riage bureaus established by travel
ing parsons who do not hesitate TO
stoop to this means of livelihood.
Marriages in Elkton had mounted to
1000 to 5000 a year. the Senator de-
clared, charging that many of the
couples. separated shortly after.
Opposition to the bill, the Senator
declared, came from the so-called
"jitney trusts" and clerks of the
courts who profit by the condition"

ABOARD A FERRYBOA7

EAST ORANGE. N. j., March 25.-
Ernest j. Reugg of West Hoboken
admitted yesterday to State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Dill that he
had mislaid his automobile on a
Weehawken ferry March 4, Just
as one would forget an umbrella"
The manner of it was this, he eX-
planned:
He drove aboard the ferry. left
his machine. entered the cabin and
became absorbed in his newspaper.
When the Manhattan shore was
reached he landed with the foot
passengers. took taXicab to his
office and never thought about his
motor again until he was informed
that it had been found.
The commissioner explained that
he really mustn't be so absentmind-
ed, for the police had spent many
perfectly good hours trying to
solve what they thought must be
either suicide mystery or the
theft of an automobile which
bandits feared to drive off the
ferry.
Reugg pleaded that it was the
first time he had broken traffic
law in fourteen years, and the
commissioner suspended sentence.
although remarking that he didn't
know whether such a forgetfu
man was fit to drive an automobile.
