Farm Bureau officials in all grain
growing counties of Minnesota are
asked to see that every possible bus

quarters at St. Paul this week. The
letter calls special attention to the ar
rangement for financing farmer
owned elevators that has been per-
fected by officers of the U. S. Grain
Growers Sales Company of Mime

Bureau.
The financing arrangement, Farm
Bureau leaders say, will relieve hum
dreds of farmer-owned elevators all
over Minnesota, of all obligations to
commission houses have supplied ele-
.yators with operating capital and, in
return, have demanded a practical
monopoly on the elevators business.
Under an arrangement that has
been completed by T. H. Hagen, man.
ager of the farmers concern at Min
neapolis, the new intermediate Credit
Bank of st. Paul will supply eleva-
tors with working capital up to $751;
900, thus enabling. them to enjoy
freedom from commission firms
hitherto unknown.
"Since the announcement of our
financing arrangement, cooperative
grain marketing has shown an activ-
ity never before known" says Mr..
Hagen. "Farmer-owned elevators all
over the state are writing in, asking
for details and expressing a deter
mination to ship to the farmers COM
pany, now that they are in position,

MELVIN BONES
CAR TURNED TURTLE
STEERING APPARATUS LOCKED
ON TURN IN LAKESHORE
DRIVE
HIS LEGS ARE INJURED
EXTRICATED HIMSELF BEFORE
EYE WITNESSES COULD
COME TO HIS AID

Melvin Bjone met with peculiar
accident Saturday afternoon of last
week. Shortly after 1 100 o'clock he
started to GO to dinner but decided he
would take a ride around the golf
course before going home. AS he
came up the hill and made the turn
on Country Club road just east of the
Fay Sprague cottage his steering ap-
paratus locked and he struck the
bank which is about foot high at
that side of the road at this point,
his Ford turning turtle and landing
on top of him, in such way as to be
resting heavily across his legs but
he was able to work loose and crawl
out from under before assistance
reached him.
Mrs. Sprague and their maid saw
the car turn turtle and ran to the
Falk cottage to get Professor Falk to
help. Mr.. Falk hurried over to the
overturned car and Chas. Harrison
came along about that time. The
two men righted the Ford and Mr..
Falk brought Melvin to his home.
Chas. Harrison attempted to drive the
Bjone car into town but it was i'm
possible to bring it in under its own
power, as the steering apparatus
could not be controlled.
One of Melvin's ankels was some
what crushed and badly lacerated
but although painful his injuries are
not serious.

FINGERS BADLY SMASHED

Mr.. Floyd, local manager of the
Red Owl Store, met with a painful
accident early Monday morning while
endeavoring to start his Ford. His
battery had been shorted and run
down during the night so that it was
necessary to crank the car in order
to get it started. While holding the
choke wire out with one hand he was
cranking with the other when the
second finger of his right hand caught
between the crank handle and the
license plate. The finger was near
lyt severed near the first joint but al
though very painful it was not found
necessary to amputate and is heal
ing as well as could be expected.
Glen Potter met with another SINH
lar accident while attempting to crank
REQ Tuesday evening. The crank
slipped out, causing Glen's right hand
to be dashed against the right hand
front spring of the car with such
force as to badly smash and lacerate
two fingers on his right hand. I'M
mediate medical attention was given
and although painful no serious re-
suits are expected.

There are many things about Mr..

of the fact that carp has been al

Northern Counties

Organization work in the Red Riv-

by those behind the project to per-
feet in Minnesota cooperative po-
tato sales agency based on the Cali
fornia plan and the Sapiro contract.
Thus far, contracts have been cir
culated in counties outside the Valley
section. Red Lake has completed its
quota of so per cent of the CONNER
cial acreage and Clearwater and Bel
tranli are near that goal. Excellent
progress has been made in Becker,
Winona, and Itasca.
While the Valley campaign is be-
ing organized, work will continue in
sections already covered and will be
extended into Chisago, Kanabec,
Benton, and Isanti counties. In these,
township meetings have been sched-
uled and E. w. Smith will explain
the plan to leaders. Thereafter, salici-
tation will be carried on on volun-
tary basis.
The campaign in the Valley will
have the full time Of Campaign Man
ager Sc. Rubinow, who will work
with Marius Waldal of Plummer, a
member of the executive board. Mr..
Waldal has agreed to serve as active
head of the organization in that Sec
ton. Preliminary steps have already
been taken in Polk county, under To-
cal leadership. A general meeting
has been held and committee named
to represent every township. Polk
county is considered the 'key" coun-
ty in the campaign, as it has the lar
gest acreage and, therefore, more
acres will have to be signed before
the campaign is complete. In Clay
county, another heavy potato pro-
ducing county, work already has been
started and Robert Scott of Borup,
a member of the state committee,
has signed up 100 acres.
Thus far in the campaign more
than 700 contracts have been signed,

Iowa, within five years, will take

liar to that in operation in Minnesota,
according to Truman Pierson, ma

has been campaigning in Iowa the last
two months as member of the COM
mittee of 200 business men backing
the movement in that state.
'1owa is now rated among the
lowest from standpoint of good
roads," Mr.. Pierson said. "The To-,
wa Good Roads association is at
work to give Iowa a highway pro-,
gram, the duplicate of Minnesota's.
The state furnishes Minnesota more
tourists than any other and is trav-
eled by the bulk of travel south from
Minnesota.
81 believe Iowa should have a one
man highway commission with an Of
fetal as efficient as Charles M. Bah
cock" continued Mr.. Pierson. I
believe that Iowa should abolish her
present unfair plan of assessing abut-
ting property for improving state
roads, substituting therefor a plan
of general taxation or realizing on
automobile tax for all road improve
ment work. I believe that all funds
should go to one central disbursing
point under the control of the one
man highway department.
when Iowa succeeds with its
good roads program it will mean at
least five north and south roads,
hard-surfaced across the state from
