State High in
Car Ownership
MINNESOTANS OWN ONE TWEEN
TY-FIFTH OF NATIONS AUTO
MOBILES.

Out of thirteen million motor We
hicles registered in the United States
for the first six months of the year,
nearly half million of them belong
to Minnesota residents. To be exact,
the number registered by Minnesota
people is $4,000. This information
is taken from the reports of the Am
erican Automobile Association. The
registration fee in Minnesota aver
ages $16.40 for cars and trucks. The
average fee, for the whole country is
$12.85 this year, but this is exclusive
of personal property taxes on autos,
gasoline taxes and other taxes paid
by, motorists in many of the states.
In Minnesota the registration fee COW
cred all taxes on autos with the ex-
ception of a wheelage tax levied in a
few cities of the state. The increase
in the number of cars in use in the
whole country for the past year totals
three quarter of a million.

1,25O,OOO u. S. Farms
Undergo Changes

Almost fifth of the farms in the
United States changed operators last
year, and about per cent of Ameri-
can farms changed ownership.
This is the report of statisticians in
the national department of agricul-
ture at Washington, received in cir
cular form by agricultural workers
The figures are based upon correspon-
dence conducted from Washington
with 1888 crop correspondents, stu
ated in every state.
The exact proportion of farms which
changed owners or tenants last year
is 10 per cent. More than a fourth
of tenant farms changed tenants and
increases in tenancy were reported
from about three-fourth of the states
Changes of farm occupancy were
reported as affecting nearly 100000
of the 100000 farms in the nation
In nine states, all in the south, one
farm in every four change occupants
during the year. New England had
the fewest changes, with no more than
10 per cent in any state. Changes
throughout the corn belt and western
states ran between 10 and Is pei
cent.
Charles L. Stewart, officer of the
bureau of agricultural economies at
Washington, who signed the report
remarked that this is the first at
tempt at an annual estimate of farm
occupancy changes and that until the
study is carried through another year
there is no way of accurately stating
whether the movement in 1921 was
greater or less than usual.

State Butter Leads.

One-third of the butter used in
New York city comes from Minnesota,
according to a monograph on the
New York butter industry, completed
by Charles F. Junod, vice president
Of the Bank of America of New York.
Minnesota shipped 8O,568, $50 pounds
of the total amount of 241 ,604 ,065 con-
sumed in the city in 1922, Mr.. Junod
said. Iowa was given, as the nearest
competitor with 43,488,617 pounds.
"There is a third type of creamery
in Minnesota called the cooperative
creamery" Mr.. Junod said. "This is
owned by farmers living within a
comparatively small radius who bring
to it their cream and receive payment
at the end of the month in proportion
to the number of pounds of butter
fat their cream contained. In Mime
sofa there are $50 creameries, and in
no other state are they so well de-
veloped. In many localities they have

Two Boys Are
Badly Injured
HAROLD PEAVEY AND ANDY
KEEFE MEET WITH ACCIDENT
IN NEW YORK STATE.

Word was received Monday in Red
| wood Falls that Andy Keefe and Har-
old Peavey had met with a serious
accident while on a hiking trip in
New York state. Andy is seriously
| injured, his injuries including a bad
head wound which is causing his re-
latives much anxiety. Harold is not
so seriously injured according to his
telegram to his sister, Mrs. Aldrich
of Minneapolis. The fathers of the
two boys, John Keefe of Morton and
William Peavey of Minneapolis left
Monday morning for New York.
Early Saturday the boys were pick
ed up by motorists on the Niagara
Falls boulevard between Buffalo and
Niagara Falls. According to reports
they were found in a badly injured
condition, evidently having been hit
by a motor car whose driver failed to
stop and give them aid. Andy's in
juries include a possible fractured
skull, internal injuries, badly crush
ed leg and scalp wounds. Harold has
a crushed foot, numerous cuts and
bruises and possible internal injuries.
These reports may be mitigated some
what by later reports and relatives
and friends are anxiously awaiting a
word from the fathers of the boys
after they have learned the full par
ticulars.
The two boys in company with
Thomas Gull, also of Redwood Falls,
left Minneapolis September 21st for a
trip through the east. Thomas left
them at Washington and his mother
had letter, postmarked Washington,
from him just last week. Newspaper
reports state that Harold and Andy
had planned coast to coast hiking

PiDcStOne Man
Meets Death
is ELECTROCUTED WHEN CAR
MAKES CONTACT WITH
WIRES.

A fatal accident occurred in this
city Saturday evening, the victim be-
ing Willie j. Knuth, a young mar
of Pipestone county, who was cleo
trocuted when the automobile which
he was driving, struck and broke off
one of the electric light posts in the
center of Main street.
The accident happened during the
heavy fall of rain shortly after nine
o'clock. Unable to see his way be-
cause of the downpour of rain, Knuth
ran his Ford roadster against the
street lighting post located at about
the center of the block between Olive
and Cattlin streets. The upper part
of the post came crashing to the
street and the car stopped with the
front axle resting upon the curb OF
the light post which was still stand
ing. The machine came in contact
with the electric light wires.
Knuth got out of the car apparent
ly uninjured and people in nearby
houses saw him go around behind
the car and afterwards approach the
left side of the machine, evidently
with the purpose of trying to pull it
back off of the post. When he touch
ed the fender, there was a flash and
Knuth fell in the street.
Two or three people from the neigh
borhood reached the accident victim
within few moments. He was car
ried onto the boulevard. and at that
time showed signs of life, his limbs
moving. AS quickly as possible he
was moved to the front porch at the
c. d. Duffus residence, 121 S. Main
street, and physicians were summon
ed, call also being sent in for the
Fire Department First Aid corps,
with their lungmotor
Just after being carried to the Duff
fus residence, the young man gave
slight signs of still being alive. How
ever, few minutes later when phys
icians arrived, they declared they
could find no evidence of life. AS a
last resort the lungmotor was brought
into use and was operated for about
two hours but without avail. Pipestone

the Chicago & North Western Rail-
way System will be celebrated in Chic
ago Wednesday, October Oath, 1923,
when as a special feature of the oc-
casion, the officials of the railway
will have as their guests for the day
100 veterans who have been in active
service for SO years or more.
These veterans, representing all
branches of the railway service, and
who have played so important part
in building this-the first railway
west of Chicago-will be brought to
that city as the guests of the North
Western" Upon arrival they will be
met at the Madison Street Passenger
Terminal by reception committee
composed of officials of the road, who
will provide a day Of entertainment.
They will be rendered a luncheon in
the Passenger Terminal by the Chic
ago & North Western Railways Wo-
mems Club, and in the afternoon will

The Chicago & North Western Rail
way is the pioneer road of the West,

part of the present system, having
been the first railroad to lay tracks
west of Chicago, and it's construction
was an epoch-making event in the
history and development of the West
and Northwest. From the modest
beginning of ten miles extending
from Chicago to haywood, ILL.,, the
system now embraces total Of over
10000 miles of track reaching into
nine states.

u. S. Hopes to Tax
Exempt Securities
10000 100000 WORTH IN EXIST.
ENCE; EXPERTS STUDY CUES
TION OF LEGALITY.

A plan to circumvent the purposes
of tax exempt securities has been
proposed to high officials of the gov
eminent, who now are studying it to
see whether it will stand the test of
legality.
The idea is to levy special inherit
ance taxes on all kinds of tax exempt
securities, of which it is estimated
there are in existence S30,O00,O00 900
worth in the United States, ON which
practically no tax is paid.
That is all there is to the plan.
High officials of the government,
while not sanguine that it can be
worked out to conform to law, are
hopeful legal duties now being made
will indicate that such a statute can
be adopted. If there is reasonable
chance that such an attempt will not
be held invalid by the supreme court.
Congress, without doubt, will pass
the legislation.
Several noted lawyers now are look
ing into the question. The govern
ment will be governed by the advice
it receives from them. If there is
even bare possibility that the scheme
is workable Congress will be asked
to put it into effect forthwith.
Many of those members opposing
an amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting issuance of tax exempt secu-
rites would support this, it is believ-
ed. High officials have little or no
hope that this condition can be cor
rected through the constitutional am
endment which heretofore has been
considered necessary. 1t would take
years to get it approved by the states,
assuming that it can be passed
through Congress.

Trader Attacks
Grain Movement
FRUIT MARKETING RULES CAN'T
APPLY TO WHEAT, CHICAGO
BOARD HEAD SAYS.

Application of fruit marketing rules
to grain and cotton is "the greatest
blunder ever made in the cooperative
movements" John j. Stream, pres
ident of the Chicago Board of Trade
declared here recently.
"The thought seems to prevail" he
said, that cooperative ventures are
in some way superior to the efforts
of the Independent dealer or the pres
ent marketing system, while official
records show that they are subject to
the same hazards of any other bust
ness"
Department of Agriculture reports
he said, showed 242 farmers associa-
tions had failed since 1918, but added
that cooperative marketing could
serve a distinct purpose in handling
perishable crops such as vegetables
and fruits.
perhaps the greatest blunder ever
made in cooperative movements is
the present tendency to apply to
grain and cotton the same marketing
rules used for fruit. In marketing
oranges, raisins, prunes or apples II
is necessary to create or stimulate
the demand. But the demand fol

It is a worldwide, active, staple de-
mand.
"Were wheat growers to band to
gether in a sales campaign it would
be impossible to double the consump
ton of wheat as the consumption OF
fruit might be doubled. Consumption
could be increased only to a limited
extent
Farmers have been told by ill-ad
vised organizers that cooperative

talk is ridiculous. Should there be
