CONVENTION ALLOTMENTS.

Every post, no matter what it's
size, is entitled to seat at least two
delegates in the Department Conven-
ton at Thief River Falls August 10
HIP. In addition to the two regu-
lar delegates which every chartered
post may claim, post with 81 mem
bers is entitled to one extra delegate;
post with Isl members has two
extra representatives or a total of
four; post with 251 members has
three extra voters or total of five;
and so on; the rule being that each
post has two delegates, with one ad-
ditional delegate for each one hun
dred members or major fraction
thereof" A post with less than fiji
teen members is not entitled to repre-
sentation; in fact it is customary to
revoke the charter of any post which
at the time of the annual state con-
vention has not reached member
ship of fifteen for the current year
Delegations to Thief River Falls are
not confined to voting delegates; each
post may seat, on the convention floor
number of alternates equal to the
number of voting delegates; and as
many guests and visitors may attend
as the seating space will accommodate
| Voting delegates are based on the
membership July 10, 1925.

Electricity As Farm
Power Stands Tests

More than $4,000 worth of
electrical and farm equipment has
been loaned by SO different companies
for practical efficiency tests on the
eight farms making up the rural cleo
trio project out of Red Wing. Sixty
one meters have been installed on the
eight farms to measure the current
used in the various operations.
The project is under the supervision
of E. A. Stewart of the agricultural
engineering division, University of
Minnesota.
Several comparative tests of the
cost Of gasoline and electricity for
threshing grain, pumping water, husk-
ing corn and shredding corn and saw
ing wood have been made on the
farms. In every case, says MI. Stew
art, the cost of electricity at three
cents per kilowatt-hour has been less
Fan the cost of gasoline and oil
used in doing the same amount of
WORK.
It was found, too, that when there
is ready market for wood and an
opportunity for the farmer to utilize
his time to good advantage in doing
things besides cutting wood, it lis
economy to use electricity for cooking
rather than to use wood. One of the
farm families weighed the amount
of wood used for cooking purposes
after paying a man to saw, split and
pile it. The actual cost of the wood
as delivered in the woodbox last De-
cember was slightly greater than the
cost of the electricity used in doing
the family cooking in January.

Coop Law Modified
By High Court Ruling

The Minnesota supreme court, in
a decision announced that rules un-
der Section 81 Of the stae cooper
alive law was unconstitutional in
penalizing a dealer buying farm pro-
ducts from a member of marketing
association, on the ground that such
provision violates the freedom Of con-
tract guarantee of both federal and
state constitutions.
The decision does not, however,
seriously cripple the operation of the
cooperative law in Minnesota in the
opinion of the Farm Bureau as ex-
pressed by E. M. Lawless, publicity
directof
"In fact" says Mr.. Lawless, 81 am
inclined to think that it may prove
a benefit to the cooperative associa-
tions by removing a feeling that the
law was unfair to independent deal
~ers in farm products.
"The decision, 1 believe, is about
what was expected, and it's effect is
that an innocent sale by the pro-
ducer of a staple farm product in
the usual course of business, and
without solicitation by the dealer,

he Automobile Mystery

Americas automobile bill-upkeep
and all-is placed by the United States
chamber OF commerce at $4,000, 000,-
600 year. This is $75 for each per-
son in the country, about $50 per
family, new expense added since 25
years ago. The American cost of liv-
ing has had this enormous new item
added to it since men and women
just now beginning to vote were born.
An yet the country isn't "broke."
Prophesies that the great new extra
vagance would bankrupt us have been
unceasing. The prophets have for
gotten some things.
In both farms and factories human
productivity has increased greatly
in these same years. More machines,
better machines, faster machine do
the work. The output per worker has
grown so great that the problem of
a market is acute. We produce more
coal and wheat and cloth than we can
use.
The automobile has taken up a
vast amount of that surplus. If we
hadn't had the automobile to keep us
busy, there would have been, no doubt,
terrible gluts of manufactured pro-
ducts. To escape the lard times
which over-production paradoxically
precipitates upon us we should, lack
ing the automobile to vent our sur
plus productiveness upon have been
forced, perhaps, to the six hour day
in industry.
The United States chamber of COM
merce promises the rest of thd world
that it, too, will inevitably" be mo-
torized as the United States has been.
Under present conditions, that is
doubtful The old world is overcrowd-
ed and underfed. It's economic sur
plus, such as there is, goes to small
privileged classes. There is no great
middle class or upper working class
in the old world to make the eight
car" market which has made the
automobile industry what it is in
| America.-Lincoln Journal.

The new law also prevents the ex-
hibition of any cattle at a fair or
show that have not been tuberculin
tested and found free of disease. An
exhibitor who cannot show certifi-
cate acceptable to the State Livestock
Sanitary Board to the effect that the
cattle exhibited are free from tuber-
culosis, is subject to fine. In the
case of actions, the certificate show
ing the stock free from tuberculosis
must be exhibited at the sale and if
any auctioneer officiates at a sale
where such test has not been made
of the cattle and where the certifi-
cate is not exhibited, he is subject
to fine and the cancellation of his
license.

MOTORISTS SHOULD KNOW
NEW LAWS OF ROAD

Motorists would do well to study
the new state regulations now in eff
feet. Some important changes are
made in the regulations and as these
have to do with the everyday opera
ton of the car, every mOtorist should
be familiar with them.
For example, the old practice Of
making run for it" in passing a
street car before the gates open, is
now dangerous. It is serious Of
tense for a motorist not to stop 10
feet behind a car that has stopped or
that is about to stop" in places where
there is not safety zone.
Persons under Is years of age are
not permitted to drive car unless
accompanied by licensed chauffeur
OF the owner.
New and heavier penalties are pro-
vided for driving car while intoxi-
Gated.
In passing a horse driven by a
woman, child or aged person, the mo-
torist must slow down to Is miles an
hour or stop if the animal is fright
eneL.
1t is against the law to pass anoth-
er car at turn.
1t is against the law TO park on a
paved highway outside the city linn
it,.
The "hit-and-run" driver who tries
to escape after an accident, is guilty
of a gross misdemeanor.
Speed limits are fixed at Is miles an
hour in congested traffic districts, 20
miles an hour in residential districts
and 35 miles an hour in the open coun-
try. These are maximums, however
and are subject to the common sense
rules of driving.
The motorist who is arrested by q
country magistrate is also entitled te
an immediate hearing.

1t Was Proof Enough.

The door of the postoffice opened,
and man whom the poscmistress did
not recognize as one of the people
living in the district walked in. 81
am expecting registered letter to
be left here for me- he announced as
he approached the counter. "What
name, please?" asked the postmis-
treSS.
The man gave his name and the let
ter was produced, but the woman had
some doubts as to whether she ought
to give it up, as she had no means
OF identifying tho caller.

does not render the dealer liable for
the penalties or subject him to a
fine.
"The decision in no wise affects
the validity Of the producers con-
tract with cooperative marketing
association which was fully estab-
lished in the recent decision in the
Higgins case.
Furthermore it should be under
stood that Section 26 remains in full
force and effect and dealers are for
hidden to use inducements for a
member to breach his contract with
cooperative association"
The decision disposed of several
cases involving the coop. law, in
Guiding that OF the Minnesota Wheat
Growers association against grain
dealers of LIE Sueur Center and also
that of Louis Schwartz, an indepen-
dent dealer of Morristown against
the Egg and Poultry Exchange. A
feature of the Schwartz case was the
seeking of an injunction to restrain
the county attorney and attorney
general from attempting to enforce
the cooperative act. The court over.
ruled this unusual plea.

CATTLE MUST BE TESTED
BEFORE SALE, NEW LAW

Under a new law passed by the
last legislature, no cattle in the
state can be offered for sale at public
auction unless the cattle have been
tested for tuberculosis and found free
from the disease. This will compli-
cate a good many sales and it is
well to remember about the new law.

CHlCdSO, May Zl-tAP).
Owing good deal to British esti-
mates that the total European produc-
ton of wheat and rye this season
would be 392,000,000 bushels more than
last year, wheat prices here averaged
lower today. Closing quotations on
1ac net decline to &c advance, with
corn &c to 1ac down, oats ac to &c off
and provisions unchanged to 12c
higher,
At times the wheat market here
showed general setback Of as much
ish, especially during the early deal
ings, when the attention of traders
was focused on an unexpected decline
in values at Liverpool. The action of
the Liverpool market was explained
as both the result of favorable wealth
er for crops throughout Europe and of
a forecast that the new wheat crop
in Europe would show 49,, 1000 900
bushels Increase compared with a year
ago. Besides. it was asserted that the
son would be 20o,O00,0O0 bushels
Sprinlles of rain at various places in
domestic spring wheat territory were
also a-temporary depressing influence.
Later, however, confirmation of seri-
Gus damage to. winter wheat by the
take all" pest in Kansas and else
where served to rally wheat prices.
September and December deliveries in
particular were responsive to the
news about crop damage. On the 9TH
er hand, export business was slow, de-
spite the fact that world stocks show
ed decrease of 12,250,00O bushels for
the week. and are now 33,500,00O BUSH
els less than the total year ago.
Rising temperatures. together with
slackness of cash demand, tended to
pull ldown the corn market There
were indications, too. that frosts of
late had done less injury than was sup
posed. oats followed corn.
Provisions were responsive to an
upturn in the value of hogs.
