HOUSE PASSES FARM
COOPERATIVE BILL
ADMINISTRATIONS FARM MAR
KETING MEASURE WINS AT
TER LONG FIGHT
A COMPROMISE MEASURE
UNDER DIRECTION OF SECRE-
TARY OF AGRICULTURE
$3.50, ooo, 90 AVAILABLE

Washington, June 30-Final action
was taken today by congress on the
administration cooperative market
ing bill, the only farm relief measure
to run the house and senate gauntlet
at this session.
After rejecting, 1876 to 81, a mo-
ton to send the measure to confer
ence, the house without a record vote
approved two senate amendments, and
the bill now goes to the President for
his approval.
Sponsored" by Secretary Jardine, it
would create division in the agri-
culture department to foster the de-
velopment and work of farmers CO.
operatives. An Appropriation of $685.
100000 would be authorized.
The bill was approved last night
by the senate after it had rejected the
Fess farm credits bill, Endorsed by
President Coolidge, to which it had
been proposed as rider.
When it came back to the house
today, Representative McDuffie, DEM
ocrat Of Alabama, moved to send it to
conference. He was supported by a
group of Democrats and few Repub-
licans who opposed a senate amend
ment to eliminate naval stores from
the commodities to be classified under
the bill as agricultural products. :"
The other senate amendment, des-
ignated to broaden the scope of the
proposed cooperative division, was
accepted without debate.
Mr.. McDuffie contended the house
had inserted naval stores in the bill
after extended debate and that it
had been eliminated in the senate at
the insistence of manufacturing in
terests. He held the house should
send the bill to conference and fight
for the amendment.
He was supported in his position
by Representative Garrett of Ten
nessee, Democratic leader, and Rep
resentatives Green and Sears Of Flor
ida, Democrats, and Skater, Repub-
lican of Wisconsin.
Representative Begg, Republican,
of Ohio, sponsored the move to con-
cur in the senate amendments. He
said this would be necessary if the
bill were to pass before the close Of
the session.
GIN making this move I am not OPP
posing the naval stores proposal"
Begg said. eff next session it is nee
essary to extend the benefits Of the
bill to this product, I shall assist in
doing So"

JUNIOR LIVE STOCK
SHOW AUGUST Il, q
% YOUNG PEOPLE OF COM
MUNITY ARE ACTIVELY IN
TERESTED IN WORK
HORSE RACES AT FAIR
PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR HIS
TORIC PAGEANT CONFLICT
ED-BOWERY DANCES

The meeting of the Agricultural
Society of Stearns County at the
Community Club rooms Thursday
evening was quite well attended.
President j. B. Schoenhoff presided
over the deliberations.
In discussing the historical pageant
each evening of the fair President
Schoenhoff said that Chairman Fred
Fischer of the Pageant committee had
the preliminary arrangements well in
hand, but that he had asked that H.
w. Bishop, Sigurd Holme and H. J.
Krohm be added to the committee.
About 25 days before the fair rep
resentatives of the Rogers Producing
company will arrive in Sank Centre
and begin active arrangements for
the biggest event ever held in Gen.
trail Minnesota. This section is rich
in pioneer history and Indian lore.
The pageant will take one from
the beginning of creation down through
the history of America; the latter sec
ton will be devoted particularly to
this section and will bring events
down to date.
In all about 500 people will be re-
quired to make this event the success
its Importance warrants. Groups will
be assembled from various points and
drilled in certain phases of the en-
tertainment-all will be assembled for
the three big evenings at the fair.
It was decided to have horse races
at the fair again this year. There will
be two races each day the last two
days of the fair with purses of $500
and added money. Chairman Weis-
ner and the other members of the
racing COMMITTEES were authorized to
>arrange the classes.
George Minette leader of the Boys
and Girls Club movement in this
community explained what his club
was doing. He said % Of the young
people Of this community were de-
veloping either dairy or beef cattle,
sheep, swine or poultry for exhibition
at the fair this fall. Mr.. Minette
stated that he was very agreeably
surprised at the interest being taken.
He called attention to the fact that
because the county fair would be held
after the state fair the county win
ners would necessarily have to be Sc
lected before and suggested that a
Junior Live Stock Show be held in
this city the week before the state
fair. Aug. 27-28 was decided upon
as the dates, and the business men
of Sank Centre will provide the mon
ey for the cash premiums. The fair
will be held in the down town por-
ton of the city so that a large num-
Der will avail themselves Of the op-
portunity of seeing what the young
people of the community are doing to
develop better live stock in this Sec
ton.
The question of whether or not the
Fair Association should erect bow
cry at the fair for evening dances
was discussed at some length. A COM
mittee consisting G. E. Bohall, G. D.
Cass and VIM. Parker were appoint
ed to investigate this feature and
take such action as they deemed nee
essary.
Vice President Ben Otte was called
upon and made interesting reports of
several meetings he had attended as
a representative of the Stearns
County Agricultural Society.

Decision to Stick to Farley

League Support.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerla nd. August 20
Secretary of State kef1ogg's address
at Plattsburg on Wednesday has
pleased League of Nations circles be-
cause of the renewed assurance that
the United States will stick to the
present disarmament discussions while
there exists any hope that something
can be achieved in the reduction of
ornaments.
There Is some tendency to agree
with the position taken by the
United States that land ornaments at
least can be better treated regionally
than generally AS for extension OF
the Washington naval accord, 1t is
thought not impossible that way
will be found for the five big naval
powers to negotiate a new treaty,
without however. separating the, ac-
ton from Geneva's main effort.
Disarmament Is proving even big
ger problem than had been anticipated.
and 1t is realized here that infinite
patience must be the watchword IL
anything is to be accomplished.
The recent Greco-Jugoslavian &C.
cord is felt to he an important add
ton to European security and may
be a precursor to general Balkan
