SESSION
 CONGRESS MAY
 RECALLED SOON

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-It is unofficially stated in administration circles that no efforts will be made to bring about further tax reduction in the coming short session of Con- gross. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon conferred with President Coolidge yesterday anG it is understood they discussed the ad- visibility of reopening the tax ques- tion in the coming three months ses- sion. They felt that with the new law just going into effect such a procedure would be in1practicable. This supposition coincides with the statement made today by Senator Borah who suggested an extra ses- sion to be convened immediately after March fourth and listed tax reduction as one of the matters to be considered at an extra session. Borah had seen Coolidge before he made his announcement.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Senator Borah, returned here today after receiving a reelection from the hands of his constituents in Idaho. He Said that he favored a special session of Congress to be called inn mediately after the inauguration of President Coolidge on March 4. He said there was real need for such session. As matters or an emer- gency nature requiring attention from the national legislature he cited farm relief measures, railroad legislation, admission of the United States to the World Court proposal and probably tax reform.

Perfect Potato Exchange
Organization on Saturday
New Scoop" is Offered 5000, 900
Feet of Storage by Well Known
Firm-Directors Named

The Minnesota Potato Growers
Exchange will become legal bust
ness institution on Saturday, April
26, when 81 trustees, representing 81
counties in which quotas were OBJ
tanned during the organization per-
iod, will meet in St. Paul.
On Wednesday, April 16, MEM
bers took part in an election in
which each county named five men,
bers to act as directors of the county
associations.
Late last week and early this,
trustees elected. After the state Ex-
change is formed, an administrative
board of seven will be named from
the trustees, under which steps to set
up the Exchange will be taken.
AS the Exchange prepares to hand
lie potatoes, offers of assistance are
coming from many we'll known firms.
Last week, S. C. Rubinow, campaign
manager, announced that informal
negotiations has been opened with one
of the largest concerns in the United
States for the lease, sale or rent of
100000 feet of dry storage. If
this deal is completed, it will give the
Coop" ample storage at all terminal
markets to assure the success of its
orderly marketing plans.
Following this came an offer from
a St. Paul concern to build, in St.
Paul, great storage plant on an
ideal site and to arrange for ade-
quate financing facilities.
with the Exchange incorporated
and its volume of business assured
under the contract, there will be no
difficulty about the carrying out our
program" said Mr.. Rubinow.
Elections held last week named

potato growers in the state as county
directors.

President E. T. Winship of the Min
nesota State Automobile association
this week predicted passage of the
gas tax proposal by record-break-
ing majority at the next state cleo
ton. He said he was not ready to
declare on behalf of the organized
automobile owners of the state for
gas tax in addition to the present
levy, but felt called upon to give the
proposal full Endorsement following
the recent ruling by Clifford L. Hill
ton, attorney general. The only eff
feet of the proposed amendment will
be to put any gas tax money into the
highway fund instead of swelling the
state general expense fund, according
to Mr.. Hilton, the legislature now
having full power to levy gasoline
tax if it wishes.
with every indication that prac-
tically every other state in the union
will be collecting gas tax within a
year or two-36 have it now-it
seems that Minnesota as motor tour
ing state will be compelled to follow
suit. 1t will mean at least $500, 900
from tourists the first year and prob
ably $1,00O,000 a year in the near
future. That new revenue should be
taken from tourists coming from
states levying gas taxes against tour
lists from here. Then we will have a
clear field to seek such motor vehicle
tax revisions as are considered just.
There seems to be general sentiment
favoring the gas tax provided the
motor vehicle rate on automobiles is
put back to per cent and that may
prove a satisfactory solution of the
matter.
President Winship suggested that
automobile owners everywhere should
concern themselves with gasoline
prices following the showing that one
cent gallon on the price runs into
millions of dollars annually.

Cooperative Creameries

State Association Handled More Than
100000 Pounds in Month-New
Trade Name Selected

ter, highest grade product of Mime

Joys an ever increasing popularity.
During March, the new sales depart
ment of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' association marketed
more than 100000 pounds. Of this,
go per cent had the quality to qualify
as Land 'O-Lakes," new trade name
selected in the recent statewide prize
contest.
Because it required considerable
time to prepare carlton designs and
other advertising material, it was not
until April 1, that the association be-
gan billing its product under the
new name.
Of this 100000 pounds of butter,
not more than 10 per cent was sent to
New York, according to H. F. Meyer
in charge of the sales department.
Conditions of the butter market,
he said, ''has caused us to dispose OF
most of our business at other centers
New York had too much butter dur.
ing March and had we not been able
to develop other outlets, the glut
would have been more pronounced
and the price even lower than it has
been. Thus, the association has
served as price stabilizing influence
and has helped all cooperative cream
cries in the state, whether members
or not"
AS example of the manner in which
the association is constantly expand
ing its outlet came last week wher
Mr.. Meyer received two standing or

fresh eggs of those seasons can be
marketed at profitable prices.
Eggs can be canned at light ex-
pense and with little trouble. Second
hand butter tubs can be used for
containers in place of more expen-
sive crooks and jars. Sodium silicate
or water-glass can be purchased at
reduced rates if ordered in five gal
lon or ten gallon cans. An addition
al saving can be made if groups of
poultrymen order in drum lots.
Experiments by the Minnesota Co
operative Creameries' association
show that one quart of water-glass
and ten quarts of water will cover 80
dozen eggs placed in an ordinary
sized butter tub.
All eggs used in canning should be
clean and not more than two or three
days old when put down. Water
used in the mixture should be first
boiled and cooled. The eggs should
be kept below the surface of the mix
ture at all times, additional water
glass and water being added, if nee
essary, to max up for evaporation.
Fresh clean eggs, properly pre-
served now, can be used satisfactorily
for cooking and for table use next
fall and winter. 1t is therefore, good
business to can them now for family
use in the fall and winter when eggs
can be sold in higher markets.

says, sand it has been found that
transportation and handling charges
have added approximately 100 pei
cent to the original cost of the feed

are warranted in clearing more land
for growing more stock feed. Copies

Vote for Gas Tax Amend

to Support Proposal

Minnesota automobile owners may
differ as to whether a gas tax shall
be added to the present motor vehicle
tax, but all voters will agree that if
such a tax is levied the receipts
should be used for highway improve
ments instead of general state ex-
penses and that will mean solid vote
for the gas tax amendment next
November.
With the foregoing statement,
