Exchange Saves $1,000
On Sacks In Short Time
Leon H. Wright, Director of Ware
houses, Cuts Big Hole in Heavy
Cost Item

Nearly $1,000 already has been
saved by the Minnesota Potato Grow
ers Exchange in buying sacks for it's
members, it was announced at the
state office in St. Paul this week.
When the Exchange began operat-
ing, potato sacks were a necessity.
Without them it would have been
impossible for the association to have
moved car. Because this was it's
flrst season, bag companies refused to
grant the Exchange a penny of credit.
The necessity of having to have cash
with which to operate was a handicap
as was, also the constantly advancing
price on bags. In other years, bags
have been selling for $85 to 500 a
thousand. This year, the market has
ranged form $115 to $50.
AS result of his long contact with
the potato business, Leo. H. Wright,
warehouse director for the Exchange,
has been able to buy his supplies at
prices that have been considerable
under the current quotations.
This fact was revealed when the
executive board, in session recently,
made a close study of expenditures
that have been made by the state Of
flee.
In commenting on Mr. Wright's
bag purchases, the board members re-
marked that his actual saving was sew

have done entirely too little advertise
ing in the past. That there is dis
tinct value to such organizations in
advertising is proven by the fact that
the large centralized organizations Of
the west have spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars for this purpose
with the result that their products are
enjoying nationwide as well as a
worldwide distribution.
The use of advertising space in the
local papers by farmers cooperative
associations is, recommended by the
Farm Bureau on the following
grounds: (1) 1t brings the name Of
the organization favorably before the
public; (2) it is a cheap means Of
contact with members; (3) it brings
to the attention Of all classes of peo-
pie, both producers and consumers,
what the organization is accomplish
ing, the savings it can bring about,
and emphasizes the place which the
cooperative holds in the life of the
community.
The surprising thing is that up to
the present time SO few cooperative
organizations seem to have given adj
vertising the consideration it deserves.
If the cooperative is to be run on
business basis, it should not neglect
one of the essentials of business prac-
tice. 1t should advertise.

On nearly $4,000 ballots cast, the
proposal received $1,000 votes in ex.
cess OF the number necessary to pass
1T. far greater margin than any
other amendment. Whether the re-
suit may be counted good road vic
tory, however, will depend on high
way income legislation at the session
beginning in January.
More definite good roads victories
are reported in other states.
Missouri voters by q big majority
approved higher auto taxes, also q
gasoline tax and bonds of $4,000
600 year to pull that state out of
the mud.
illinois voters authorized a new
500, 100000 bond issue to carry on
good roads work, notably paving
which is being built at the rate of
1000 miles year.
Wisconsin farm bureau members
have headed a legislative program
with gas tax proposal We
hlcle taxes there are about double
those in Minnesota.
Texas citizens authorized the state
to collect a gasoline tax and speed up
the construction of improved road for
which it is now a leader in mileage.
Iowa taxpayers, patterning after
the Minnesota plan, will urge the leg
islature to impose gasoline tax and
to issue $85,0OO,OOO of bonds for
5000 miles each of highway saving
and crawling.
Nebraska is pushing highway pro-
gram with direct bearing on tourist
traffic for Minnesota. Other states
are advancing good roads programs
The single exception is Kentucky in
which a bond proposal was voted
down
Probable action by the next legis-
lature on gasoline and motor vehicle
tax rates and other highway matters
already are being talked in many
parts of the state following official
announcements that each 81 of av-
erage auto tax means 100000 OF
needed road work and that less than
third as much improvement can be
made on the highway system next
year as on the average for the. last
three years can be made without ia.
vorable new highway laws.

URGES MARKET ADVERTISING

A survey made by the News Ser
vice Division of the Minnesota Farm
Federation of over 100 weekly news
papers published in Minnesota towns
supporting one or more cooperative
associations during a recent week
shows that only eleven cooperative
marketing associations carried some
form of advertising. The average
size Of these "ads" is less than 8 by 5
inches.
The advertisements carried group
themselves as to their nature under
three heads: (1) Those which are
merely a statement of the existence
of the organization-the business
card type ;(2) those which contain a
pointed statement showing the value
of the local cooperative institution in
general; and 81 those which stress
the value of the local cooperative in
stitution as community builder and
it's vale to those who market their
products through it.

Burial Lot Purchased of Chase Heir

Sometime since a notice was pub
lished In the Observation-Disclosures
making inquiry for Joseph Chase.
Circumstances which led to this in
vestigation were rather unusual, as
the whereabouts of Mr. Chase or his
heirs, was required to give title to a
cemetery deed in the North Cemetery.
Lots in that burying place are not
now available, but upon the death of
Mrs. Henry Palmer, relatives were
anxious to obtain a burial plot there.
The Chase lot was apparently unused.
but no one knew where the owner
of the lot was as the family had left
town about forty years ago. This
led to the notice being inserted in the
Reporter as before mentioned. Mrs.
Turner Boswell was the first to give
information which led to correspon-
dence with those who did know of the
family. The result was that it was
determined that Mr.. Chase had died
but that his son, Bert L. Chase resides
in Westfield, Mass, where he is a sta
ton agent. The lot was finally pur-
chased from him by the Palmer fam
ily
Joseph Chase and his family left
Skowhegan about forty years ago for
Florida Soon after their arrival
their daughter sustained burns from
which she died. Mr.. Chase, who was
a carpenter while in Skowhegan, as it
is now recalled, died long sinceIMrs,
Chase was formerly Miss Martha Saw
age of Scion and was divorced from
Mr.. Chase after leaving Skowhegan.
She married for her second husband
Danville Crossman of Athol, Mass,
and is still living, her present home
being In birmingham. Mass.
