and the injured man dressed, but
he was very low from loss of
blood and from pain. Whether
or not it will result in permanent

Washington, March lit seems
that the country as a whole has
sustained a change of heart in
regard to legislative proceedings.
Ordinarily. the citizens are will
ling to allow Congress to disband
without regret. The sudden dis
covery that the Vice-President of
the United States is personality
instead of a Constitutional rub
Der stamp intrigues the atten-
ton of the reading public. AL
though Americans are usually a
peace-loving people they occa-
sionally relish a quarrel within
the family to break the mono
tony.
There has been much hullaba-
loo about General Dawes since he
took the front page position at
the inaugural ceremony. Moth
ing astonishes men so much as
common-sense and plain dealing.
That is the real reason for the
unusual attention paid the new
Vice-President.
There is nothing new in Mr..
Dawes activities. He has been
the selling agent, but not always
the originator, of ideas. 1t will
be recalled that by sheer force of
personality he sold the so-called
Dawes plan for the rehabilitation
of Germany. Those who under
stand the real situation know
that Dawes had little to do with
the financial details. The credit
is due him for selling the propo-
sition to the European peoples

CO.OPS BUILD QUALITY
AND INCREASE DEMAND

Improvement in the quality Of
products marketed is one Of the
important achievements Of Min
|nesota cooperative associations.
E. c. johnson, of the university's
agricultural extension service,
points out that
The Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' association has
brought up the percentage OF
butter scoring 81 or over. II has
also established a brand of but
ter which scores SO or over, and
SO per cent of the butter handled
consists of this grade. This i'm
provement has been brought
about by grading and scoring.
The Minnesota Potato Growers
Exchange by careful grading has
greatly improved the quality Of
potatoes marketed. About 40 per
cent of its shipments have been
sold under Gopher State Brand"
and have met with great favor on
the markets.
The Minnesota Cooperative
Egg and Poultry Marketing As
sociations are handling eggs on
the basis of grade, the better the
grade the better the price. As
a result members are taking bet
ter care of eggs on the farms and
are delivering a higher grade
product.
While progress is being made
there is still room for improve
ment in the quality of farm pro-
ducts. says Mr.. Johnson. Produc-
ers are recognizing that better
quality means better prices.

plain terms as possible.
The outstanding changes in
first class mail are:
1. The changes become effect
i've April Is. 1925.
2. The rate of postage on post
cards mot the regular lc Govern
ment Postal Cards. will be 2
cents each. whether they bear
written or printed matter. This
rate also applies to each portion
of a double or reply post card;
the reply portion need not have
postage affixed when sent out,
but stamps must be attached
when it is returned.
3. There will be no change in
the rate Of postage on Govern
ment Postal Cards-the rate con-
tinuing at cent each.
4. There will be no change on

at 2 cents each, whether sealed or
not sealed.
The above changes are all con-
