Washington, Feb. 26 P)-Dr. Ju- lius Klein. director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, told a house appropriation Sub-commit- tee In testimony made public today, that "the export trade of the coun- try faces a serious crisis which ur- gently requires continuance of tho encouraging policy followed since 1921.
 "The outstanding problem" he ex- plaincd, "is the coming conflict for foreign markets attendant upon the economic recovery of our European competitors. Every one of our over- seas rivals had launched a most ag- grcssive drive against our export markets, and the pressure of these campaigns already being felt by our exporters in many important trade contcrs, especially in Latin America and the Far East.
 "A furSier factor of our rapidly expanding overseas economic inter- est, which makes imperative the steady development of our trade in tclligence service, is the growth of American Investments abroad, which are now $9,500,0 ,0O0, ,0OO exclusive of governmental var loans, as against slightly over $2,500,000,0 before tho war.

Ardsley- On Hudson, N. Y, Feb. 26 P)--Ardsley is faced with becom- ing a town without a government because the local politicians got their dates mixed.

 Independent tickets still may be nominated. But each would require 100 names and there are scarcely enough voters in the village 10 fill out two of them. It may be neces- sary to appeal to the supreme court for special dispensation. so the town won't be without q board next year.

New York. Feb. 26 R-Amorlca, the Beautiful. would be carpeted from coast to coat with the blue eyed Fringed Gentian If the thou sands of flower lovers writing to the New York Botanical Garden could be given the seeds they seek, says D. NJ. A. Howe. acting director.
 The director told sad tale of an Idyll wrecked by advertising.
 Two years ago Dr. George r. Nor ton published an article In the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden. Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye look through it's fringes to the sky, blue-bluo-" he quoted the poet, and made the offer: q shall be glad to furnish free Of charge a small lot of seed of the fringed gentian 10 any flower-iover who will select meadow that will not be burned over nor pastured, and scatter the seeds there"
 The fringcd genian, one of the favorite wild flowers. then was be- ginning to grow rare. When Dr. Norton chanccd upon thick patches of 1t near Stanwich, Conn. he got the idea of gathering the plentiful little seeds in it's dried pods, and distributing them to flower-lovers who would go about rehabilating bare meadows with the blue aristo- crat

premium over other butter, making
the returns to the farmer much high
er than if the butter of Minnesota
was dumped on the market indiscrim-
inately and sold under the brands of
the Centralizer or dealer of the East.
The Land OIakes trademark today
means butter of a high and uniform
quality and the ultimate consumer
is demonstrating in increasing num-
bers that he was willing to pay fol
quality.
In speaking of the local opposi-
tion to the Sank Lake Cooperative
creamery Mr.. Brandt said that he
did not have any fight with big bust
ness because the Minnesota Cooper
ative Creameries Association, Inc,
would soon be the biggest business in
the world in the manufacture and
merchandising of butter. His fight
was with the farmer who was foolish
enough to desert his own organiza-
fion by the lure of what he alleged
was temporary higher prices. He
congratulated the Sank Centre farm
ers on their wise loyalty to their own
business.
Mr.. Brandt said there was much
propaganda in circulation for legisla-
ton for the benefit of the farmer.
He insisted that the farmers must
take hold of the program instead of
sitting back and criticising. He urg-
ed them to take hold and stand on
their own feet. He said that if the
Sank Lake Creamery slipped here it
would encourage the Centralizers to
endeavor to get foothold elsewhere in
the state. Sank Centre, in other
words, was the crucial point.
Cooperative marketing, according
to Mr.. Brandt, will be the salvation
of the American farmer. This plan
will never make them millionaires,
but will make them comfortable. In
spite of the alarmists and radicals
Mr.. Brandt insisted that America
was still the land of opportunity.
The foundation of hand OLakes
butter is cleanliness. He commend
ed the statements made by Mr.. Bor-
CERT for the care of the separator !.
He said the sale of Land O'Lakes
butter for the 10 months since its
manufacture started had been phe-
nominal, but that ut could not reach
its zenith in so short a period. He
called attention to the fact that it
had taken Blue Valley 20 years to
thoroughly establish it's brand. Mr..
Brandt said there was more Land
OIakes butter sold in Washington
than any other brand. Splendid
Roadway was being made in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
that during 1925 80 car loads of
Land OIakes had been shipped to
California. Prior to a year or so
ago Boston had never ate fresh but
ter in the winter time. At the pres
emit time ten cars of Land OTJakes
butter is being shipped weekly to
Boston.

sofa Cooperative Creameries were
about ready to move into their new

The committee recognized the fact
that it would be much better if all

committee was now Ito acquire this
stock for redistribution and how to
interest the patrons in the purchase
of this stock.
There are ITO some shares owned
by people that are not patrons of the
creamery. Quite number of these
people have retired from active farm
ing. Others have moved away.
Your committee is sorry to report
that it was unable to work out a So

its discharge. However, it would
like to recommend ito the individual
patrons that they by individual eff.

old stockholders at reasonable price

COAST GUARDS
DISPERSE RU M
ROW With EASE

NEW YORK, Mar. 2-The exchange
of intelligence, once used extensively
by liquor smugglers to make safe
their violations of the law, is now
used by the Coast Guard to disperse
Rum Row.
Because of the governments highly
developed system of communication,
it is now almost impossible for a
rum ship to enter the 100000 square
mile area between Virginia and
Maine without discovery.
IF "rummie" succeeds in getting.
by the three destroyers which patrol
the outer edges of this once popular
area, it is likely to be picked UP by
the Coast Guard hydro -airplane
which operates from a base on an
island near Gloucester, Miss. s3lt
Once it is discoveTcC, a remarkable
chain of modern communication is
place. III operation. The destroyer
or airplane Immediately gets in touch
with its base or other Coast Guard
vessels through radio or the wire
less telephone. The location and
course of the rum ship is then
broadcast in code Daily thereafter
its position is plotted on the secret
charts of the Coast Guard until it
and taken in custody or leaves the
vicinity of the United States.
AS the "rummie" gets closer to
shore, it is met by Coast Guard
watch dog.H These s'watch dogs" are
100 foot boats which act as mother
ships to the smaller patrol boats.
When the rum ship anchors outside
the twelve mile limit, one of them
Immediately anchors alongside. It's
patrol boats then starts cruising
around the rum anip to intercept
any speed boat from ashore that at
tempts to make contact.
AS result of this system of
"bottling UP" the Illicit liquor at
its source, only two rum ships re-
Gently were on Rum Row, as COM
pared with about eighty last year.
Time was when the bootleggers' in
formation organizations were Of con-
siderable scope and aided them ma
terially in evading the Coast Guard
vessels. One smugglar maintained a
fleet of three airplanes near Buz-
Yards Bay which he used for To-
eating the coast Guard ShlpS ana
and delivering orders from big New
York liquor syndicates to incoming
rum ships.
These airplanes would "spot" the
Coast Guard boats then warn the
rum ships. Later they would fly
back and drop metal cylinders con-
tanning all sorts OF information. The
rum ship captains often. knew as
much about the Coast Guard ships
as the service did itself.
Now the Coast Guard shippers can
lift telephone receiver and talk
to other ships through the air.
Through a system of storage bat
teries, even the smallest patrol boats
can take advantage of this sys-
tenn of communication. And the code
prevents their messages from being
understood by the SmugglerS.

France Attempts to Halt
Showing of Movie of Sad
Death of Intrepid Airman
lBr Dispatch A. p. MireA

PARIS, March 2.-An effort is be-
ing made to RESTRAIN the showing in
foreign countries of a picture film
depicting the fatal flight OF the
French aviator, Lieutenant Leon Cal
lot, on February "a, when the air.
man was attempting to fly through
an arch of the Eiffel Tower. A
magistrate who has been investigat-
ing the tragedy sent wireless mes
sage to the captain Of the steamer
France, enroute to America to seize
the film as the vessel was still in
French waters, and the captain COM
piled.
1t is alleged that the aviator at
tempted the flight for French
American moving picture combina~
tion. The film of the accident was
rushed to Havre Immediately and
taken aboard the steamer. The
showing of the picture has already
been prohibited in France.
Lieutenant Callot was killed when
his plane, caught in wireless ap,
paratus of the Eiffel Tower, crashed
in flames. 1t was said after the
tragedy that he had carried out this
daring attempt on wager with an
American acquaintance.
