NOT Complaining
Of CAR SHORTAGE

In spite Of the prevailing car
sbortage as set forth in press dis
Matches and in reports submitted
~ the railroads themselves fewer
complaints are being received by
The public service commission here
than ever before.
TO date only three shippers
have laid their complaints before
The commission, it was stated by
secretary Ellis this morning. Each
of these cases involved only a
small number of cars and each
complaint was Immediately rem
edied through the commissions
traffic department to the satisfac-
tion of the shipper.
Members of the commission this
morning were unable to reconcile
the absence of complaints on the
mart of shippers with the reported
shortage of cars but declared that
thew stood ready to do everything
in their power to relieve such
shortages as were called to their
attention.
In anticipation of a shortage at
this time of year, a condition
which has been prevalent in this
section for years past with the ex-
ception of 1921 when there was
NO car shortage, the commission
has for some time past exacted OF
the various roads operating in
Oregon daily reports on the car
situation.
The reports of the Southern Pa
cific company for Wednesday show
q shortage of only BAT cars as
compared to a shortage of 1871
cars in 1920. The reports of the
0regon-W n-Washington railroad for
Wednesday show shortage Of 529
cars, the greatest so far reported
this year, as compared to short

SPLIT IN RANKS
OF VEN|zEL|STS

Athens, Oct. 20.-(By Associ-
ated Press. The royalist news
papers declare the movement in
favor Of a republic has caused a
split in the ranks of the Venizel-
lists and that long kilograms have
been forwarded to M. Venizelos in
London outlining the political sit
uation and asking for instruc-
tions.
One newspaper expresses the
opinion that because of disagree
able impressions produced among
the people by the firing of the
republic shell, = Venizelos will
disavow the movement and make
it clear he favors a crowned
democracy"
When M. Venizelos on Tuesday
was informed that a movement
for a republic with himself as
president had been launched in
Greece he declined to comment,
according to London dispatches,
but declared he was irrevocably
determined to retire to private
life when the Turkish peace treaty
was signed.

VICTORY OF PINCH0T
WORRIES OLD GUARDS
(By United Press)

Philadelphia, Pa, May 1s- Vic
tory of Clifford Pinchot over the
once powerful Republican machine
coming close on Senator News de-
feat in Indiana has thrown a real
scare into the Old Guard here, Two
main reasons back Of the Old Guards

are:
Realizing, privately admitted,
that a large block of voters is dis
satisfied with the present congress-.
:, A desire to windup the present
session and get back to their re-
spective districts to- mend the fences
in the hope Of preventing defeat
to party organizations such as have
come in Pennsylvania and Indiana.
Because of Pinchot's victory, it is
an increasing belief here that po-
itical machines throughout. the
country are losing their force.

FARM BUREAU UNITES

Farmers Themselves Can Set
Price of Butterfat, Says
Creameries Association
COOPERATIVE BODIES
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
A. J. Mcclure Gives Out Facts
of Importance to Every
.,st'i. - - .,- 81 80 .
Dairy Farmer
BY A. J. Mcclure, Manager Min
nesota Cooperative Creamer-
les Association

BY A. J. Mcclure, Manager Min
nesota Cooperative. Creamer-
les Association. g..
There is no other farm product
in Minnesota whose price the farm.
ers can influence as much as they
can influence the price Of cream OF
butterfat.
The price of butterfat is the only
price on farm products that has not
fallen below the cost of production
during the past two years.
This is largely due to the fact
that there are 600 cooperative
creameries in Minnesota that have
been a mighty factor in influencing
lie price OF butter, and the price
paid to farmers for cream.
The cooperative creameries have
not only given the farmers the
manufacturers profits, but prevent
a monopoly of the butter market.
Every farmer should know the
Importance Of the cooperative cream
cry to his business. The farmers who
take their cream to cream stations
do not realize they are helping to
undermine the best market the
farmers of the state have ever had.
Farmers in Minnesota have received
an average of 10 cents pound
more for their butterfat during the
past several years than farmers have
received in states that lack cooper
alive creameries.
While cooperative creameries are
not all first class by any means,
they can be made first class. They
are the one market that the farmer
can control at the present moment
if he will. The first thing that must
be done is to get to. the creamery
all the cream that is. produced in the
community. 1t is shame, to farm
ing community to have cream sta
lions in the same town with a farm
ers' cooperative creamery The sec
ond thing to be done is to have the
cream delivered to the creamery in
such condition that it will make
first class butter.
Cream is often spoiled through
age and improper care before it
leaves the farm. Cream should be
cooled in cold water Immediately
after it is separated, and kept un-
til delivered. Every farmer should
have a cream cooling tank. The we'll
water can be made to cool the
cream on the way to the stock tank.
Cream should be delivered to the
creamery while it is sufficiently
sweet to use on the table when
there is company for Sunday din
ner. In the most successful creamer-
les, the farmers cooperate in hand
ling the cream, and get all the cream
to the creamery while it is still
fresh and sweet.
A third requirement for a first
class cooperative creamery is good
business management-m
that will see that only the best but
ter is made, that there are no leaks
or losses due to faulty machinery
or workmanship, and that the but
ter is sold to the best possible ad-
vantage.
The cooperative creameries OF
Minnesota manufactured more than
1OO,OOO,O0O pounds Of butter in 1921
and paid the farmers more than
$43,OOO,OOO for butterfat.
