A Conservation
Council Formed
ToPlan Program
Statewide Members Would
Afford A More Rank and
File Viewpoint.

A statewide conservation advisory
council was organized Saturday night
at meeting held in st. Paul. Rep
resentatives of various sportsmen and
conservation groups out over the
state met and chose as chairman of
the council, A. G. Miss of Fairmont
Frederick Winston of Minneapolis,
American Legion representative, was
elected vice-chairman and Albert
Klancke of the conservation depart
ment, is secretary of the group. Mr..
Miss is member of the Minnesota
Game Protective League.
The council was organized at the
suggestion of Conservation Commits
sioner Herman c. Wenzel, who in
vited the various organizations inter-
ested in a comprehensive conserva-
ton program, to select representa-
that uniform legislative program
may be presented to the legislature.
In concluding his address to the group,
Commissioner Wenzel said, 81 want
you to feel that you are part of
the Conservation Department and are
privileged to investigate our records
and procedure in order that you may
have absolute confidence in the pub
lie affairs of the State Department
of Conservation"
More Prestige for Recommendations.
Chairman Miss stated upon accept
ance of his duties that the organiza-
ton is step in the right direction.
During the past several years various
organizations have been working at
cross purposes in supporting or OPP
posing conservation legislation and
legislators have been reluctant to pass
laws of a forward looking character
because no two organizations could
agree on what should be done. The
council will serve as clearing house
for legislative suggestions, Mr.. Miss
stated.
Among the, organizations repre-
sented on the council is the Pine
County Conservation League. v. E..
Shafer of Finlayson, was represen-
tative from the League.
The council will hold three more
monthly meetings before the legisla-
ture convenes,, in order that it may
adopt and present to the members of
its component organizations a unified
program for presentation to the leg
iSlature.

Pine County Old
Age Cost Shown
Secretary of Welfare Board
Issues Statistics Showing
Workings of Act.

The following statement from Por-
tia H. Gum, executive secretary of
the Pine County Welfare Board, gives
some pertinent facts on the old age
assistance in Pine county:
"The Minnesota Old Age Assistance
Act, Chapter 95 of the special session
laws went into effect on March l,
1886 The law was passed to con-
form to the Federal Social Security
Act and the state thereby receives
from the Federal government monies
covering SO percent of the eligible
grants and also a percentage of the
administrative costs. In Pine county
this percentage amounts to about Csc
per case per month or approximately
$375 per month. In accordance with
the Security Act the Federal govern
ment pays so percent of every eligible
grant issued in the state; the state
pays 33 1I3 percent and the counties
16 2I3 percent.
"Old Age Assistance is meant to
take care of aged persons without
any other means, which means that
grants are given out on a need basis.
All grants do not amount to $50,
which is the maximum under the
Federal Security Act. Pine county's
average grant for the month of July
was $3.50, compared with the states
average for the month of July of
$1,000 and with the United States
average for May of $19.26.
1.-THE number of individuals re-
ceiving Old Age Assistance per thou
sand estimated population IS years
of age and over was 613 in Pine
county for the month of July COM
pared with $50 for the State of Min
nesota and 220 for the nation as a
whole. Pine county for the fiscal
year July /, 1887 to June 80, 1888,
paid out 1922 ,330.4O to an average
of 1047 recipients, for an average
grant of $18.49.
"For the month of September Pine
county paid out grants to 1884 indi-
viduals for total of $2O,54O20 which
made an average grant of $18.95. The
federal and state governments paid
SIT, 116.84 and the county $3,423.37.
The administrative cost was $896.49.
The state and Federal share was $375
and the county's share $521.49. This
would make the county's total per-
centage of administrative cost ap-
proximately &c percent"

Music Lovers Will
Hear Paderewski

For the first time radio will
carry to American listeners the
magic strains of Paderewski's
piano playing on Sunday after
noon, September Is, at l o'clock,
our time. The famous musician
will play from Lausanne, Switz-

Paderewski, now 70 years of
age, made his American debut on
the piano in 1891 and since that
time has been acclaimed in many
lands both for his composition
and playing He once before,
when radio was in its primitive
stage, made broadcast in Eng
land. He and some of his expert
listeners were so little satisfied
with it that he said he would
never face the microphone again,
but time has passed and the radio
has been perfected to the stage
when it can do even Paderewski
satisfactory justice.

Butter Business
Totals A Large
Sum Annually
Cooperative Creameries
Fill Worthwhile Place i'm
Holding up Price.

The manufacture and sale of but
has grown into $210,000,000 bust
ness, according to figures released by
the Farm Credit Administration. AL
though three of the North Central
States, Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin produce "a percent of the CO.
operatively handled butter, this phase
of cooperative marketing is also found
in % other states in all sections of
the country
A nationwide survey, in which rep
resentatives of the banks for COOP
eratives and about 80 state colleges
and universities called upon every
agricultural cooperative in the coun-
try, uncovered these facts.
Cooperatives handling butter prin-
cipally number 1885. Many of these
associations also market eggs, poul-
try, cream and diversified manufac-
tured dairy products. Butter, how
ever, accounted for more than three
fourths of the 1913, 10000 business
that cooperative creameries did in
1886, the year of the survey.
Buffers total sales of $21O,346,00O
were 81 percent of the total business
done by all cooperative dairy organi-
cations, which included the marketing
of fluid milk, cream and manufac-
tured products
The average sales by local cream
cries were found to be $4,000 per
association, and sales per patron
averaged $483.
Minnesota Leads.
In Minnesota, with GIG creameries,
sales of butter amounted to $63, AGO.
900. Iowa creameries, 268 in num-
Der, marketed butter worth S36, 1885,
600, and Wisconsin, with 236 cooper
atives handling butter, sold S34, AGO.
600 worth.
California, with only Is butter CO.
operatives, had a $1O,211 900 output.
Michigan, Nebraska, Idaho, South
Dakota, Washington, Illinois, Indiana
and Oregon all had figures above the
$3,5OO,OOO mark.
Because of their remoteness from
fluid milk markets, the cooperative
dairymen of Iowa turn greater pro-
portion of their output into butter
than those of any other state. In
Iowa, 80 percent of the total COOP
erative dairy sales are in butter, as
contraSted to New York state, for ex-
ample, where only SO percent of a
$63, 100000 dairy business is in but
ter production. New York milk pro-
ducers find it most profitable to sup
ply the fluid milk needs of the great
population areas in and near that
state.
Patrons of the 1885 cooperative
creameries received $2,564, 900 in pat
ronage dividend payments during the
survey year, it was found.
Afford Better Prices.
Cooperative creamerieS have gone
long way in developing high scoring
butter, and have rewarded the farmer
producing high quality cream by pay
ing higher prices for it.
The creameries have been partic-
ularly successful in cooperating
among themselves Uniting in large
regional sales organizations, they have
developed modern and highly effici-
ent marketing systems benefiting pro-
ducer and consumer alike. These
large-scale co-ops do extensive re-
search toward developing better
manufacturing methods and an i'm
proved product. In many instances
their activity has caused competition
to similarly improve its product, thus
raising quality standards generally.

National attention was concentrated
on the Home and Farm accident prob
lem in 1885 by the Red Cross. In that
year, 81, 900 men, women and children
lost their lives in home accidents, which
were largely preventable. In 1887, this
toll of life was reduced, and only $4,000
lives were sacrificed to carelessness.
The spread of knowledge on hazards
which were subject to correction was

The 1897 deaths from home accidents
were divided as follows, according to

.RESTYLED NASH
.STREAMLINING G.
IN new MOTIF.
Makes Car Appear Lower
And RaCier

Visitors to the washington Auto
Show will notice that all 1893
Nash cars have been completely
restyled from bumper to bumper,
and in design follow a new con-
ception of the modern streamline
motif. The new body and hood
lines and the slenderized treat
ment of the front end give them
a longer, lower, wider and racier
appearance.
Many new features are to be
seen in the new models. One is
the weather eye" conditioned air
system for winter driving.
SIMPLE ENGINE
Another important advance is
the super-powered engine of the
Nash-Lafayette, or low-priced Sc
rieS of cars. 1t Is claimed to be
the most simple gasoline engine
yet designed.
The new engine design is so
much more efficient and trouble
free, says w. A. Blees, general
sales manager. Despite the in
crease in power, operating econ
omy will be 10 per cent better
than last year, he said.
The Simplified type Of sealed
manifold motor also is used in
the Nash medium-priced cars
the Ambassador Six and AmbaSSa-
dor Eight.
This year the industry sees a
new super shock absorber in the
Nash giant airliner type which is
being used on the rear of all Nash
chassis.
A remote control gear shifter,
located on the steering column, is
optional on all series of cars.
SOUND-PROOFED
Car Sound-proofing, on which
Nash and Kelvinator engineers
have been working for two years,
takes a new meaning in these cars
in 1899, the general sales man.
ager said. Advances in the usage
of Nash-Kelvinator's Sand Nor
tex" provide a much quieter car
interior, he revealed. Bodies are
wider by as much as four inches.
Windshield vision has been
greatly increased. The all-steel
hood is of the alligator" type,
but offers the feature of being
counterbalanced. In design, the
new Nash cars are pure, modern
streamlining.
The flowing lines converge in a
Streamlined back which has just
the trace of a fin in the center.
A great improvement is announced
in seat design.
A new instrument panel has
been developed for 1889, making
it possible to read the dialS at a
glance.

Many Surprises in Store

The 1899 Dodges present a num-
ber of style surprises and mechan-
ical innovations.
The new Dodge, known as
Luxury Liner" is noted for its
streamlined beauty and excep-
tional luxuries. Everything Is
new and different-body con-
tours, hood lines, front grilles,
tenders, lamps. windshield. front
wheel Springing, running boards
even the tire pattern differs from
that used on preceding Dodge
models.
MORE LUGGAGE SPACE
The gracefully proportioned rear
sweep Of the all-steel bodies COM
pletelv conceals a 27 per cent
larger luggage compartment. The
driving compartment is clear of
gear shift and parking brake
levers.
The new Dodge is longer in
wheelbase and wider in body, with
wider seats, increased leg and el-
bow space and markedly greater
visibility.
The hood section expresses new
beauty as well as aerodynamic
advantages resulting from ex-
tensive windtunnel studies. The
effect is one of grace and SYM
metry which have practical values
in substantially reduced wind re-
siStance and in fuel economy
gains.
The V-type "airplane vision"
windshield also is of entirely new
design. The unusual visibility
forward is matched by similar side
