that it is unnecessary to repair gar

peace. Her remains will rest be-

Will Take Charge of Collecting Clo-

Preliminary plans for a statewide
collection of clothing in Minnesota
May LIST to 18th have been set in mo-
ton by Mrs. VIM. T. Coe, state d.
rector of the clothing campaign for
the Near East Relief.
Already bundles of cast-off gar
ments come into the Near East Re-
lief office at 305 Oneida Building al
most every day. Some from Mime
apolis, and some from other points in
the state.
A special campaign last May yield
ed a total of $1,000 pounds Of used
clothes, which filled big freight car
and was forwarded to New York for
shipment to the Near East. Rail-
roads and steamships generously fur
nish free transportation, and the Ma
Wy warehouse in Brooklyn handles
and ships all N. E. R. consignments
without charge. The old clothing
contributions from Minnesota last
year was rated worth $4,000.

city of rags and tatters," writes Mr..

2400 American visitors have been
here recently, and all were impress

refugees. The Near East Relief's
stock of old American garments is all
that stood between the populace and
savagery in Armenia last year."

ure Of the Senate's request yesterday
that the bill be returned to that body
in order to pave the way for it's sub
sequent passage by the House as an
amendment to the state highway
code.
Chairman Oscar Swenson of the
highway committee, declared today
that no further attempt would be
made to bring the measure before
the House at this session. The good
roads program, it was pointed out,
will have to depend for the next two
years on revenues from the automo-
bile tax, estimated at $7,100,000; the
federal aid of $1,85O,00; and such
assistance as may be given by the
various counties.
Good road building will not stop
in Minnesota as result of the death
of Commissioner Babcock's $20,000,-
600 ten-year program, it was pointed
out today. -
The legislature provided taxes
which will permit the continuation of
highway construction.
The senate adopted the joint con-
ference report today on the motor
vehicle tax bill, and the house was
ready to follow suit. An extra mil
lion dollars will be made available as
result of a change in taxes, ac-
cording to Senator Brooks. He said

Egg Sales Plan to Cover
State of Minnesota
Commodity Marketing Agency to Be
Based on Contracts With Pro-
ducers-To Be Farmer Owned

A statewide cooperative egg and
poultry sales agency, designed to
place the marketing of these products
in Minnesota on business basis,
has been designed by a special COM
mittee, of which j. S. Jones, secre-
tary of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation is chairman.
The plan, now ready for submis-
sion to farm organizations, provides
a farmer-owned agency for the hand
ling of both eggs and poultry,
though for the present the marketing
of eggs only will be undertaken.
The importance of the movement
is indicated by the fact that last year
according to government figures,
Minnesota hens, 13,212,000 in num-
Der, produced 722,988,00O eggs,
which had an con the farm" valua-
ton of $20,484, 900.
eve have drafted a plan," said
Mr.. Jones, "that follows as closely
as conditions in Minnesota will per-
NIT, the commodity marketing organ
izations of California and Southern
states. The whole scheme rests on
foundation made up of contract be-
tween the association and the grower.
Under the terms, producer agrees
to deliver to the association, for as
sembling, grading and sale, all of the
eggs he will produce for three years.
Fair cancellation privileges are pro-
yided."
The state will be divided into dis
tricts, according to delivery and mar
keting facilities. In each district, as
organized, there will be several de-
livery points-towns at which far
mer naturally delivers eggs and poul-
try. In most instances, these deliv-
eryy points will be local cooperative
creameries, though there are locali-
ties where inland stores must be
used. From these local points pro-
ducts will be delivered to the district
headquarters, where they will be
graded and sold, under directions
from the state office. The associ-
alton will be organized under the new
cooperative marketing law.
Organization of the state will be-
gin in the rural sections, where ship
ping districts will be formed. When
twenty of these districts are ready,
steps toward establishment of the
central agency will be taken.
Interest in the egg marketing
movement is developing rapidly, ac-
cording to Mr.. Jones. He has re-
ceived inquiries from several eastern
markets. One agency desired to en-
ter into an agreement to take car
weekly and expressed willingness
to pay premium for eggs graded as
to size and color.
The first object of the organization
will be to supply commercial markets
able to absorb car lots. Later, under
the plan, it will be possible to serve
markets desiring special quality of
