tended the Seventh Annual Mid

Associations affiliated with the Mid
land Cooperative Wholesale, held at
the Midland plant, Minneapolis,
March 3, and 5.
This conference is held each year
for the purpose of giving coopera-
tive leaders the latest information
on products and methods involved
in cooperative merchandising, and
also to discuss the common problems
of the various associations. Import
ant subjects discussed at the meet
ing this year were credit and mer-
chandising efficiency. All were agreed
that cooperatives must become more
efficient and must adopt strict credit
policies or go on a cash basis. Sew
eral associations have done the latter
during the past year.
Paul Miller, recently appointed di-
rector of agricultural extension work
of the State University, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the banquet March 8.
He outlined the detectives of the ex-
tension work, declaring that its ultim-
ate purpose is to make the farm
home better place in which to live.
Emil Selvig, director of the Cooper
ative Division of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, discussed with
the delegates the many knotty prob
lens relating to cooperative law in
this state.
Another speaker was E. c.. Cort.
general manager of the Midland
Wholesale, whose discussion conferred
about the present and future policies
of the Wholesale and of the local
associations. He also discussed the
European cooperatives which he Wis
tied last autumn.
The delegates attending the confer
ence reported that their local associa-
tons gained about Is per cent in
volume last year. The 200 associa-
tons now affiliated with the Mid
land Cooperative Wholesale had a
business of about $12,0OO,OOO in 1887.
Midland alone had a volume of S.
100000.
Attending from Askov were Law
renee Jensen and w. B. johnson;
Ralph Miller of Finlayson, Theo.

At least, that is the way stu
dent identified the French screen
actress in Prof. Gayle c. Walkers
first year journalism class at the
University of Nebraska.
One girl student was unable in
the quiz to identify the chancellor
of her own school. She said Chan
cellor f. A. Burnett is public
relations counsel and has become
noted for his remarkably success
full publicity campaign"
Another beginner described
DR.. Glenn Frank as the Organ
izer of the Republican party and
is hailed by some as the second
Lincoln" Another thought Dr..
Frank was a world famous pacif-
ist."
Postmaster General James A.
Farley in one instance was identi-
fled as secretary of agriculture.
When asked to identify Chang
Kai-shek, one student wrote that
"he is the man with the beautiful
and active wife who graduated
from Vassar," and another stu
dent insisted he was in command
of the Japanese air force.

temperature rose steadily until
mid-afternoon had the semblance
of spring in reality.
Of the fruits, the cherry crop,
which is extremely sensitive to low
temperatures, probably SUFFERED
the most, Mr.. Molen said, although
there apparently was extensive
damage to the strawberry, peach,
pear and early apple crops in this
vicinity.
The extent of the damage ev.-
IDENTIFY was more serious than or
dinarily would be caused by a cold
spell at this time, since the latter
part of March and the first weel;
in April were unusually warm
with the result that vegetation III
general was about two weeks ahead
Of normal growth.
In this respect, the fact that
some of the fruit might be killed
was taken as an indication that
the fruit crops as whole might
be of better quality, since the al
most perfect weather at blossom
time would have brought an over
whelmingly large yield with a pro-
portional loss of quality.
The full extent of the curtall-
ment occasioned by the cold spell!
will not be fully determined, how
ever, for few days more, it was
pointed out.

Edwards Says Greater
Driving Care Needed

Prominent local citizens have
endorsed the Drive Safely" cru

Commenting on this drive to
save lives, avoid accidents and
prevent injuries, Mayor A. V. Ed
wards emphasized the fact that
highway safety depends on the in
dividual effort of each driver and
points out that this crusade puts
every "erson on his honor to keep
a sincere pledge to drive safely.
I'VE certainly need greater
care in driving cars, and this cru
SADIE should do much to empha-
size the safety idea in this COM
munity," Mayor Edwards said.
The golden rule of driving is
the basis of the drive safely"
pledge which every motorist is
being asked to sign. Motorists
who sign the pledge card receive
an ATTRACTIVE ulSIdI ellulSHi "uISh
will be installed above their rear
license plate, reading pledged to
Drive Safely"

Demanding that the state legis-
lature's committee investigating
subversive organizations in the
commonwealth be extended to
Nav so the university's action
could be investigated, Senator
Thomas NJ. Burke asserted:
"For the first time in the his
torv of Massachusetts, the Com
munist party has been able openly
to secure a key position in a uni
ton in a university as renowned
as Harvard. The Communist party
has long aimed to get into schools
and colleges as part of their doc
trine to establish Communism IN
the state and nation"
The Harvard Crimson editorial
appearing in today's edition point
ed out the appointment was lat
first startling" 1t added:
"But Granville Hicks is better
known as a scholar than as a po-
litical radical and on an academic
basis only should the merit of his
appointment be judged"
Suggesting that a permanent
appointment be accorded Hicks if
he proves capable and a professor
al post is available, the Crimson
said:
Nowhere along the official
line was there opposition to him
which is proof enough that Har-
ward has determined to give sub
stance to its aforementioned shad-
ow of liberalism.
The appointment was charac-
terized as the "most positive step
the university has taken this year.
