board, appointed recently, has open

st. Paul, and is ready to receive In

agree that had it not been for the

the movement for a state system
would have failed However. after
the Amendment had been adopted,

Credit for this campaign went

WAREHoUSING LAW TO AID
PRODUCERS

A new warehousing law, passed by
the recent Minnesota legislature,
paves the way for greatly simplify
ing one phase of the shipping prob
lem of farmers and their CO -ope:at-
i've associations. Provision is made
for bonding and licensing ware
houses and for issuance Of receipts
which are to be negotiable. Shipping
point inspection by warehousemen
Is made a condition upon such lie
ense. Where warehousemen-the law
is permissive only-operate under 1t,
local storage and financing of the
movement Of the crops will be
facilitated, proponents say. The
act will be administered by the state
Department of Agriculture, of which
n. j. Holmberg was e-appointed
commissioner for four years. The
final hours of the legislature was
featured by the failure of the S20,-
900 900 road bond bill to pass and by
the enactment Of large number OF
curative laws. Other bills passed pro
vide that the Minnesota State Pris-
on shall manufacture corn harvest
ing machinery and that all machines
made there shall be sold to dealers
at cost plus 5 per cent. Dealers pro
fits are limited to 20 per cent. The
new agricultural extention and
county agent law provides for a
county Farm Bureau budget COM
mittee, on which the commissioners
shall have representation. An appro-
priation of $50, 900 to carry on this
work was voted. Changes in the
state weed law provide that town
boards may appoint inspectors and
liz they do not, enforcement shall
rest with the town board chairman.
District weed inspectors are abol-
ished. State supervision is contin-
ued. Both houses passed and the
Governor signed resolution pro-
yiding for the submission to voters
of a proposal to amend the consti-
tuition to permit construction of two
state owned terminal elevators. A
similar proposal with respect to a
cement plant was lost. Area testing
for tuberculosis in cattle was recog-
nized and an appropriation Of $780,
600 to start the work voted. This
money is to be used for indemnity
purposes. A joint resolution asked
for a special session Of the legislat-
ure of the United States supreme
court declared the state occupation
tax on ore told. New prohibition
laws are designed to tighten en-
forcement. Appropriations aggregate
slightly more than 100000 net
increase of S2,4O0,000 over 1921.

BUTTER STEALING GANG is IN
TOLLS

After a two-year search, officials
of the Minnesota Co operative
Creameries' association nave taken
first steps toward creaking up a
gang of thieves that have been
raiding operative creameries in
the vicinity of Minneapolis and st.
Paul. Thus far, two dealers and
four other men are under arrest.
Additional developments are fore
cast. Butter thieves have been es-
pecialy active during recent months,
one creamery having been robbed
Of 1000 worth of butter in a single
haul. One of the best legal firms
in the Twin Cities has been en-
ployed to assist the association in
prosecuting the case and it is pro-
posed to round up all implicated,
those higher up as we'll as the ac-
tual thieves. I'VE have the ring

general manager, land we have OBJ
tanned confession which greatly
simplifies our task, We expect to
not only bring criminal actions out
will institute civil suits to recover
from the dealers the value of the
butter stolen" Because the case
has not as yet been presented in
court, we can not make statements
as to the manner in which the gang
operated, but we are convinced that
we have the thieves as we'll as

TO GO CUNNING
 FOR CALIFORNIA
Football Teams of Pacific Coast Will Go After
 Champions This Year.

BERKELEY. Cal, Jan. 2.-Football teams of the Pacific Coast this year again will go gunning for the scalp of the University of California s champion team and again the titlo- holders will attempt to defeat all 59- position. For three years the Bears have not been defeated and Cali fornia rooters are hoping for an- other victorious season.
 California loses eight stars who, in their sophomore year. formed the wonder team that downed all op- ponents by big scores and defeated Ohio State and who last year and this year continued to turn back all other teams. Coach Andy Smith, however, has another team ready for this year and this team, it is sa.d, looks to be above the average.
 The two star ends, "Brick" Muller and Berkey, are going, so il is prob able that the ends next year will be picked from Huffurd, Pierce, O'Brien or Nell. At tackle the Bears will have Stew Beam, a veteran, and Neumeyer, who sat on the bench most of this year. but who is considered a good man. Perry and Carey may be at guard, and Hor- rell, fast, aggressive man, will be a candidate for center
 Iii the backfield will be Captain Don Nichols, Jim Spalding, Dick Dunn. Jack Witter, Burgess and good men from this years freshman squad like Jimmy Dixon and Inlay, both speedy halfbacks. For k.ek- CT, Smith has Wittsr, who probably will play fullback. Witter was con yerted into a tackle this year be cause there were too many other fullbacks but next year year he will be in his natural position. He can kick almost as we'll as Duke" Nor rison or Archie Nisbet. the two boot. ing backfielders the Bears lose.
 And next year Stanford, Wash ington and the University of South crn California, the Blue and Colds greatest rivals, will all be stronger as they are not hard hit by gradu ation. So the new California team will have to fight harder than ever to keep it's record clear. ..

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Hugh Me Quillan, star pitcher. for whom the Giants paid the Boston Braves s75,- 900 last season. may never be able to pitch again.
 Details of a serious injury to his arm and side, received in an auto mobile accident last October. were learned when McQuillan sued Miss Mildred Taylor. daughter of broker and a prominent society girl. for $50,000 damages.
 As the second plaintiff in the ease is Mrs. Margaret Farley. his mother in-law, who was injured at the same time.
 The plaintiffs seek damages on the allegation that Miss Taylor was r. sponsible for collision on the Jar- icho Turnpike which resulted in their injuries.
 McQuillan has been under msdieal treatment since then and his arm is responding slowly The Giant offie said it would be impossibla to tel until spring if he will be able to use his arm.
