Rochester, June 5.-"Although the

and has outlived much of its orig

members Of the grand jury in his
charge. ....
They furnish moral support and
If each person would grant to each

indirectly taking a rap at viola
tors of. the prohibition laws, Judge
Callaghan asserted: There are
some who say that certain laws
cannot be enforced and therefore
there should be no attempt made to
enforce them or that they should be
repealed. During the last several
years the country has, witnessed a
large increase in. murders, grand
larcenies, and so forth. Shouldd we
because of this abnormal increase
abolish all laws relating to robberies
murders. ETC.? On the contrary, II
the punishment is not sufficient to
deter the commission of crimes we
must increase the penalties and
make conviction sure"

used In other sections when the
demand here is light, but we are
going to insist upon reciprocity in
that respect. The car shortage
which has marked the last several
harvest seasons has been due to an
improper distribution OF available
empties. This board already has
remedied that condition in scores OF
instances and our work will become
more effective as we continue our
activities" Through the board, po
tato shippers have been well sup
piled during the spring. A serious
congestion of South Dakota eleva-
tors was quickly relieved. The

understanding Of transportation
problems and provide a forum In
which disputes between shippers
and railroads can be adjusted. A
careful study of transportation
needs, markets and productions Is
being made. Surveys are being Ia

portation facilities this fall are

more cars ready for use now thar

Of car shortages are few and far be-

committee in charge Of perfectlng
a new farmer owned potato sales

Detroit, treasurer Of the general

contracts hinge upon signing up 90

completed by March l, 1924, under

finance, and warehouse facilities.
Mr.. Oby said. Leaders point out that
the weakness in all potato marketing
agencies heretofore started in this
section is that they have attempted
TO do business without strong
central organization or assurance OF

make an agency an important factor

Stop WlnkIna At Crime

Winnebago, Enterprise: A new
record was set the other. day, when
a New York jury convicted a woman
murderess in spite of the fact tina,
she told a very, sad story on the
stand of a mans treachery, and her
lawyer pictured graphically the viii
lainy that drove her to her deed. In
Chicago, twenty women charged
with murder were acquitted in sue

been in evidence in most conmuni

CAR LOIS REMEDY

Minnesota farmers who raise
eggs for market never will obtain
a satisfactory price until they are
organized to ship full carloads of
a given grade to Eastern markets.
This conclusion was reached by
VIM. G.. Boyle. farmer and secre-
tary- treasurer. of the Co operative
Creamery at Mora. who last week
returned from New York, where he
made an extensive study Of the
present outlet for much Of Mime
sofas CO. operatively shipped butter
and eggs. THE thing that impress
ed me most" he said, was the
manner in which farmers of the
reach the East in car lots, all of
uniform grade and color. Despite
the fact that they actually are older
than the Minnesota eggs, they look
better and bring the, higher price
/ saw Pacific coast eggs sell for
37A cents, when our eggs were 60
ing for q, 20 and 80 cents. In the
car shipments from the coast the
loss of breakage is far less than that
charged against Minnesota eggs.
The Mora Creamery for some time
has been shipping eggs marketed
by its patrons and while higher
price has been obtained, there still
Is much to be done. Mr.. Boyle says,
The method now followed is to load
most of a car with butter and fill II
with eggs. This practice while far
better than selling locally or to
centralizers, has a drawback in the
fact that egg shipments necessarily
are small and there is needless ex-
pense and breakage in handling on
the eastern markets. Mr.. Boyle is
a member OF the committee which
recently drafted the plan upon which
the state wide egg marketing agen-
cy Is being formed. A major fea-
ture Of that plan is such grading
and car-lot shipments as Mr.. Boyle
firds necessary to obtain the best
prices in the East.

Applications for Loan.
Mr.. Allies had been called by the

100000. On the occasion of the sec

Morse stated "he was obliged to show
the government that he had financial
resources and wanted to show that he
had 100000 on deposit with the
Riggs Bank. Mr. Morse offered to
leave the entire proceeds of the loan
on deposit, for which he was to pay
s per cent interest. Mr.. Allies thought
the proposal was for the bank to
allow per cent on the deposit, but
