with Progressive members of congress
will be entrusted with the conduct Of
the nationwide campaign for 1924 de

TO assure the election at the presiden-

way, the progressive leaders expect to
have some delegates in virtually every
state delegation.

share in the great war by doing
his duty with the navy, is further
doing his duty as member of that
glorious institution, the American
Legion. In his paper he says:
Every aim of the American Legion

American truly American. Every
lay of American Education Week
devoted in some big, worthwhile

gram. 1t will have results. On
all of US, as we'll as on our Legion

it must be before these aims are
realized. Some day the soul of
America shall speak the true Ameri-

shall disappear from our land. And
we shall dwell together as people

MARKETING THEME
BUREAUS MEETING.

Marketing will be the theme
stressed at the annual convention
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, to be held in st. Paul, Jan.
2, 3 and 4. On the second day Of
the meeting, most of the time will
be devoted to reports from farmer
owned sales agencies. Represent
atives of livestock, grain, wool,
potato and other terminal selling
institutions with which the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation is
cooperating, will be on the pro-
gram to report on progress during
the year and suggest plans for ex-
pansion in 1928.
Railroad rates OF a fare and q
half for the round trip for all per-
sons attending the convention have
been obtained by F. L. French, Sec
rotary. ''To profit by this arrange
ment," Mr.. French says. delegates
and others attending should obtain
certificate at the time the ticket
is purchased. Sometime during the
convention these certificates will be
Endorsed by federation officials,
which Endorsement will entitle the
purchaser to a ticket home at half
price.
Farm Bureau officials have been
assured by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace that he will be present for
an address the opening day if he
can arrange his work at Washing
ton so he can make the trip west.
However, the question of his COM
ing is still unsettled.
Consideration of the Federation's
agriculture program for 1923 will
be an important part of the dele
gates work.

time when coal is most needed. How
much of this seasonal burden on
the railroads can economically be
avoided is one of the questions the
American Railway Association can
help President Harding's Coal Com
mission to answer. Possibly the
consuming public can itself also
help in lowering the cost both of
hauling coal and of mining it.

COAL AND THE RAILROADS.
(By u. s. Coal Commission.)

About half the freight loaded on
our railroads, according to an esti-
mate made by a well-informed man
experienced in both mining and
transportation, is contributed by
our coal mines. This portion in
cludes coal loaded at the mines and
coke loaded at the ovens, both con-
signed to consumers all over the
country, and coal loaded for the
railroads themselves, as well as
articles of mine equipment and sup
ply loaded at industrial centers
more or less distant from the coal
mines. Even though this figure may
later be shown, on fuller presenta-
ton of the facts, to be somewhat
high, the big outstanding truth is
that the coal mines and the rail-
roads are copartners on large
scale in the business of the country.
This copartnership, based on mutual
nterest,-the railroads being the
largest customer of coal and the
mines being the largest customer of
The railroads-gave special signifi-
lance to conference held recently
between representative committee
of the American Railway Associa-
tion and the United States Coal
Commission.
The railroad men present at that
conference showed their desire to
cooperate in the work of fact-find-
ing by suggesting subjects on which
they could contribute statistical
facts. The perennial topic of car
shortage is only the introduction to
the larger questions-What invest
ment in railroad equipment is justi-
fed to meet the demands of an
cverdeveloped mining industry?
What can the public afford to pay
to accommodate its own seasonal
demand for coal? The operating
| officials of the railroads can also
| point to the effects of seasonal
movement Of coal and other COM
modities on the cost of operation
of their roads.
The coal operators are themselves
not unmindful of the peak demand
for transportation arising in part
from the seasonal demand for coal.
One large mining corporation in
the Middle West has several times
made it's annual appeal to its Gus
toners for early purchase of coal
in the form of a full page repro
duction of photograph of two
huge locomotives snow-bound on
the track, with the simple legend
LEST you forget 1917-1S". Such a
reminder is pertinent every year,
for the greater part of the Ameri-
can public either forgets or has
never learned the obvious connec-
tion between snow clogged freight
yards and delayed coal at the very
