Potato Exchange
Releases Growers
From rs Contract

Potato growers of Minnesota, mem
bers of the Minnesota Potato Grow
ers Exchange, were released from
their contracts for this season, and
told that they can market their po-
tatoes as they see fit.
The exchange will market potatoes
on the same basis as last year, howev-
er, if members wish it, they were
told in letters mailed by the board Of
directors of the exchange.
Complete reorganization of the eX-
change to handle the crop of 1926
H. C. Fossehl manager, announced.
Changes involve cancellation of the
marketing contract with the FEEDER
ated Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Inc, sales organization, and change
of the marketing System. The ex-
change has controlled ware houses
all over the state for marketing the
crop.
Members were asked to state whe-
Their they would market their own po
tatoes or wish the exchange to handle
them. The exchange is making ar
rangements, Mr.. Possehl said, tt
handle potatoes through other agen
cies to reduce the overhead, In order
to carry the organization over until
next year.
The plan for next years operations
includes an arrangement to pay far
mers so per cent of the market value
of the potatoes at time of delivery
and the balance in 80 or 40 days.
The letter to members explained
that directors have conducted series
of meetings to improve the affairs
of our exchange"
'Your board has found it impos-
sible to make changes suggested in
time to move this years CROP" the
letter said.
''The board is confident that by tax
ing the required time all changes rec
commended can be made" it went on
"The board will have the entire
spring of 1926 in which to work them
out. The changes can and will bt

GOVERNMENT SYSTEM OF IN
TERSTATE ROUTES TO IN
cLUDE 5000 MILES OF MINNIE
sofa HIGHWAYS.

Redwood Falls is on the big new
system of United States highways, as
designated at a recent conference Of
federal and state highway officials ir
Washington.
The government-marke routes
crossing the country from coast tc
coast and from gulf to Canadian Dor
der will take thousands of long-dis-
lance travellers through Minnesota
over more than 5000 miles of the
present state trunk highways.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, returned last weeh
from the conference in Washington al
which the U. S. Highways were final
ly designated. Including routes along
the east, west and south borders oil
the state, and all connecting with
those in adjoining states, the Mime
sofa selections follow:

MODS ReappOinted.

Reappointment of Charles j. Moos
as postmaster of st. Paul for a term
of four years was announced offici-
ally at Washington Thursday by Post.
master General New, according to 4
dispatch from the Washington bureau
The commission, effective August
90 will be signed jointly by Presi-
dent Colidge and Mr.. New. 1t is
ate, but Senator Thomas D. Schall o.
Minnesota has indicated to the Pres
ident that he will work and vote for
the confirmation, giving assurance
there will be no opposition.
Mr.. Moos expressed his gratitude
over his reappointment but withheld
further comment until receipt of his
commission.
Mr.. Moos was named postmaster
August 20, 1921 by President Hard
ing when a row developed among three
Ramsey county Republican candidates
for the place.
Moos was a compromise candidate
named at then Senator Frank B. Kel
log, now secretary of state. In his
four years of service Moos won the
distinction of being listed by the
postmaster general as one of the sia
best postmasters in the United States
Threatened opposition on the part
of Representative Oscar E. Keller CT
st. Paul did not halt the reappoint-
ment. Mr.. Keller asked for another
civil service examination for the po-
sition after RECEIPT of letter from
the Ramsey County Republican com
mittee, of which Henry j. Hadlich i:
chairman. In this letter it was as
serted that Moos had taken no part
in the recent campaign in which
Ramsey county was carried for Re-
publicans for the first time since
1920.

THAT Minnesota received extreme
ly liberal consideration in the selec-
ton of routes is evidenced by the fact
that more than 5000 miles of it's
trunk system were included" said Mr.
Babcock. while the government plan
is only to mark with it's own numbers
the important transcontinental and in
terstate highways, the result will be
to direct large volumes of traffic ov-
er them"
The Bureau Of Public Roads during
the next year will erect its new
markers which are black and white
shields with the letters U. S. in the
center, topped by the name of the
state and carrying underneath the Of
flcial highway number Many States
already have marked their primary
highways, large number adopting
the Minnesota yellow and black color
combination and significant shapes of
warning and direction signs as recon-
NEEDED by the American Association
of State Highway Officials. In those
states the government will put up on
ly its marks, and the state signs
will be depended on to warn and guide
the traveller.
The new plan has no direct bearing
on the financing of the highways, but
all Minnesota routes designated are
part of the federal aid system. 1t is
important, however, according to
highway officials, because of the influ-
ence it may exert on highway travel
end the attendant development of
the state.

carloads of agricultural implements
passed through the Minnesota Trans
fer during the month of June as COM
pared with 214 cars handled during
the corresponding period of 1924.

crop are apparent in almost every

TAX EXEMPTION BONDS
AND
WHAT THEY MEAN
Talk No. Is
Talk No. Is

5. The federal income tax does not concern the
great mass of taxpayers Only 6.28 per cent of
the population file federal income tax return and
only about per cent pay any federal tax Only
per cent of the farmers filed federal income tax
returns in 1920, and much less than per cent paid
federal income tax.
6. The general property tax effects every home
owner and every farm-owner. State and local gov
ernments collected in 1922 general property taxes
amounting to three billion three hundred and twen-
tynine millions, $3329, 0000 00), while the federal
collected income taxes for that year amounting to
only one billion six hundred and nnety-one millions
Isl, 900 ,30003). In word the general pro-
perty tax isc practically double the federal income
tax.
T. Tax-exempt securities are issued only for pub
lie purposes. The tax-free bond is the taxpayers
credit instrument from which the public derives
direct and considerable benefit the moment it is
issued and sold bearing low rate of interest.
g. To tax public-purpose bonds not only would
discourage public undertakings but would result al
such increase of interest rates these bonds
as to add materially to the local taxes levied upon
the homes and farms.
AS said before feel that the farmers should
make no mistake in this matter, and don't believe
they will if they understand the situation.

 Nolan, Smith and Hammond Riv- CTS are scenes of unusual activity this winter, he says, while many out fits are engaged on the several other creeks of the district. MT. Miller is engaged on Quail, but was forced to abandon his winter work, owing to health, and intends to remain in Fairbanks until April, returning just before the breakup The trip out was a hard one owing to prevailing wind storms and extreme cold weathr.
 The need for adequate transpor- tation facilities, especially to roads and trails, is stressed. There are virtually no trails in the district, it is pointed out, and as conse- quence freight rates and the landed cost of staples are nearly prohib- tive. The freight rate from Wise man to Hammond River or Nolan, each six miles distant from Wise man, is cents a pound, or 1 cent a pound per mile. Prices at Wise man this winter are quoted as fol lows: Sugar s2S; flour, s22; eggs, s33; potatoes, s33; milk, SPA; ba- con 78c. Ham cannot be procured All perishables were frozen in at Alatna last fall, MT.

E,GHr.LEGGED DEER SHOT;
 NECK LIKE UNIVERSAL JOINT

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 1S.-A young deer, equipped with eight legs, by means of which it could propel itself both forward and backward with equal skill has been shot by hunters near Bathurst What is yet more remarkable the animal has a head which, from all appearances, is attached to it's body with univer- sal point. It can face in either direction it's legs should carry it.
 The octopedic wonder was shot by Percy Rennie and Michael Casey and is regarded as one of the great est freaks of the North woods. The carcass was shipped to taxidermist to be mounted and will be pre-. served as New Brunswick's most un usual game freak.
