Commerce and Health
Due to the close relation of
commerce to the public health in
connection with the spread Of
epidemic disease, the report said,
it has been necessary for the ser
vice "a keep advised as to the
prevalence Of diseases not only IN
the United States, but, insofar as
practicable! throughout the world.
This Is. accomplished by the
constant interchange Of sanitary
information with the other powers

The epidemic Of influenza that
spread across the country from
the Pacific Coast last winter was
declared mild as compared with
the epidemic tnat occurred in

The last outbreak reached many

the spread Il the rnalady seemed
to have reached its peak in Eu.

detected abroad was. in Ireland.
CerehroSpinal meningitis was
unusually high in the United
States during the last half Of
1923 and the first half Of this
year, Cummings report said. Up
until the first of the year there
was no undue prevalence Of the
disease In European countries,
but in April and May, he said,
there was more than the normal

Sessions up to noon will be con-

The society was incorporated
October 20, 1849, as one of the
first acts of Minnesota's first legis.
lature. The formal organization of
the society took place November
Is, 1849, in the private office of
Charles K. Smith, territorial secre-
tary. Alexander Ramsey, then ter
ritorial governor and later the
second governor of Minnesota, was
chosen president. Vicepresidents
were David Olmsted and Martin
Mcleod, William H. Forbes was
treasurer and Mr.. Smith secretary.
Governor Ramsey was president
of the organization for IA years
until he went to Washington as
senator in 1868. He was again pres
ident the last IL years of his life,
from 1891 to 1908.
Other presidents of the society
have included Henry M. Rice, Gen.

the longest service as a member of
the council. He served from De-

Foreign butter, which is being
produced and exported at this
time from New Zealand and Aus
tralia, is not seriously affecting To-
cal markets because the cost of
this butter laid down in this coun-
try, duty paid, is higher than do
mestic product of the same quality.
Receipts of eggs on the four
principal Eastern consuming mar
kets, New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, and Chicago, are running
practically the same as a year ago,
although there was SOM decrease

tions at this season of the year
are a big factor and no doubt vol

severe cold exists throughout the
Middle Western states.
Chicago egg market today:
Firsts 35 to SO 1-2 cents as COM

New York Firsts practically un-

Because of the advanced season
and the heavy marketing of poul-
try in the producing territories for
the weeks prior to the Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas holidays, the vol
ume at present time is running
light, and no doubt will continue
to do so. The buying demand for
current consuming trade has been
satisfactory and with lighter sup
ply, the general situation has

On Feb. II, 1902, Mr.. Otto was
united in marriage to Anna Kautz

Thirteen years later, in 1915,
Mr.. Otto moved his family to Sank
Centre, where he purchased a tract
of land on the north side of Sank

idence there they moved at inter-
walls to various farms near Sank
Centre finally moving onto farm
near Fairy Lake. Six years ago
the Otto's moved into town and
since have made their home in the

Butter Production Keeps
Up; Market Fairly Steady
Egg Prices Normal-Poultry Re-
ceipts Are Light; Quotations
Slightly Higher

Indications, based upon reports
from the larger butter producing
territories, are that production
while possibly continuing heavier
than year ago, will undoubtedly
show some decrease as compared
with last week. Weather through
out the Central West is cold and
not favorable for milk production,
and the volume Of milk and butter
will depend largely upon the winter
feeding and care of cows during
severe weather.
