Spots of Congress.

day afternoon in the rear grounds of
th3 White House received more than
1900 delegates attending the Both
Continental Congress of the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution. Be
cause of the lameness of the Presi-
dents right wrist there was no receiv-
ing line as is customary on such. .oc-
casions and the handshaking was dis
pensed with.
The President and the First Lady,
after walking through a long lane
bordered on each side by the visitors,
to be happy to entertain the delegates
in this manner.
This reception was conceded to be
one of the real colorful and interest
ing incidents of the present sessions
of the Congress. In many respects
the affair corresponded to a lawn
party, although refreshments were
not served. Music was furnished by
t Marine Band. AS an interesting
climax to the reception the President
and Mrs. Coolidge posed with the dele
gates for group photograph.

President Coolidge, as honorary
president of the United States Flag
Association, awarded the American
cross of honor, the highest decoration
bestowed by the Flag Association, TO
four leading d. a. r. members for
conspicuous service rendered to the
flag. This is the first time in history
that President of the United States
ever awarded a decoration other than
those bestowed by the United States
Government.

honor, which invests the recipient
with the title of Lady of the Flag
and automatically carries with it life
membership in the Order of the Flag,

Heavy Butter Receipts
Force Prices Down Slightly
Nearly 100000 Pounds Arrive
From Europe-Heavy Egg
Receipts

The receipts of butter last week,
Monday to Friday inclusive, show
an increase as compared with the
same time week ago and the
same time last year. Increasing
receipts, and prospects for furth-
er increase in butterfat production
throughout the Middle Western
States, have tended to reduce spec
ulative buying and is causing deal
ers to keep stocks cleaned up
closely. 1t is to be expected that
the situation at this season of the
year would be more or less unset
tied, owing to the seasonal adjust
ment of values, in accordance with
increasing production and receipts.
The Chicago Market on 80 score
Standards is quoted today at 40
cents, as compared with, so IA
cents the same day week ago,
while the quotation of 81 1-2 cents
on 90 score Extras at New York
is unchanged from the previous
week.
Foreign butter is still coming in
to this country. According to gov
eminent reports last week, there
were 6879 boxes of Argentine and
New Zealand butter received. The
SIS Port Campbell direct from
New Zealand is due to arrive in
New York April II or IL carrying
about 10000 boxes or approx
mately 100000 lbs. butter which
is to be unloaded at New York. SIS
Lancashire from Liverpool also due
this week is reported to carry 5000
boxes or 448,000 lbs.
Egg production continues to
show an increase and receipts last
week, Monday to Friday inclusive
at Chicago, New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia were-506,918 cases
as compared with 4S4,1S7 cases
for the same period last week and
370,473 cases for the same period
last year. The consumption of
eggs at present values is fair and
it is expected there will be a good
demand this week for Eastern
trade.
The movement of eggs into stor-
age is heavy, showing substantial
increase over the same time a year
ago. Also, the total storage hold
ings in the 26 larger cities of this
country were much heavier than
at this time year ago.
There has been little change in
the live poultry situation during
the past week. The Chicago mar
ket today is quoted at rs cents on
Leghorn fowls and 28 1-2 cents
on average and heavy weight
fowls, which is practically the same
as a week ago. The New York live
fowl market has shown slight in
crease but the situation in New
York is not clearly defined and all
fowls are not moving out at quot
ed prices. 1t is expected however,
that trade will be sufficient to
take care of Receipts this week, as
the next Jewish Holiday, Passover,
coming April II and 10, will create
good demand for fowls. 49,.
Dressed fowl receipts are light
and there has been little change in
selling values. Early broiler re-
ceipts are showing some increase
from week to week and the quota
tons on this class of poultry are
working lower in accordance with
the demand and the increasing
quantities received.-Produce Re-

Minnesota Milk Law of
1923 Set Aside By S.
Law Prohibiting Price Discrimina.
ton Held Void by Recent SUI
preme Court

Washington, April 12-The Min
nesota law Of 1923 prohibiting dis
elimination in the purchase of
milk, cream or butterfat by the
paying of prices higher in one To-
cality than in another was set aside
as void by the supreme court to-
day in an appeal by the Paramount
Creamery Co.
The creamery company, operat-
ing at Sioux City, Iowa, contend
cd that the statute was an uncon-
stitutional restraint upon interstate
commerce and an unfair discrimi-
nation, in that it permitted coop
erative and independent creamer-
les operating in only one locality
to pay whatever price they de-
sired, while it restricted the cen
tralized creameries operating in
various localities by requiring
them to pay uniform prices
throughout the state, with only
allowances for transportation
charges.
The state contended that the
law was drawn to prevent the
centralized creameries from mo-
nopolizing the business of the
state, driving the co-operatives
and Independents out of business
by outbidding them in localities
where they operate and recouping
losses by paying unfairly low
prices in those localities where
there was no such competition.

the tourist industry. Every tour
list is "a potential citizen, and the
fact that we have the outdoor at
fractions which can be used to
bring people here by the millions is
wonderful advantage, because
they come, they see our state and
by seeing they are convinced that
it is a good place in which to live.
"The point which / am trying
to emphasize was brought out at
a convention recently by a
businessman, who had been spend
ing his summer vacations in Min
neosta for a number of years and
has grown so attached to the state
that he now makes his home here.
He formerly resided in Chicago.
Another instance that I recall is
concerning a man who lived in
New York state and who was lured
to Minnesota by the prospect of la
fishing trip. He was so pleased
with Minnesota that he never did
return to New York, but brought
his family here to live. He now
makes his home in southern Min
nesota and fishes in the northern
lakes in the summer. Then there
are the hundreds who come here
for IA vacation and who build their
own summer homes. These people,
while they may not be full fedged
citizens become property owners
and spend a good part of the year
here.
Tourists are good business
stimulators. Most of them are good
buyers and they have cash. Those
who own summer homes here pay
taxes and help us to build schools
and make other public improve
ments. They are splendid Gus
toners and I believe THAT we do
not all fully appreciate what they
are worth to our state"

1t is expected that the greens will

however they will not be ready for
use until near the middle of the
summer. If the golf bug gets you
before that time you need not
shed any tears thinking that you
can not use the links for there will

which viii be used until the per-

H. A. Falk and Fay S. Cooper,
representing the Sank Centre
Community Club appeared before
the Council with a proposition
looking toward the organization of
a Boys band. Mr.. Falk stated a
large number of boys, backed by
their parents, had signified their
desire to become members of such
an organization, and the purpose
of appearing before the Council
was to ask for financial assistance
for the employment of a suitable
director. Mr.. Falk said that the
man required would cost from
$50. 90 to SIS. 90 per month for
two rehearsals each week for a
six months period. He said that
with cooperation of the Council
by by fall the Rays' band would be
in a position to make a creditable
showing in public. The success of
the movement of st. Cloud, Be
midi and other points was cited.
The Council realized the neces-
sity of suitable hand for a live
community like Sank Centre and

sire of going as far as finances
would permit in handling the Stu
alton. This years budget did not
anticipate any expenditure for
