Kettle River Takes
Life At Hinckley

Walter Shers, workman on the
new bridge over Kettle river four
miles east of Hinckley on highway
48, was drowned Monday afternoon
when he fell from boat while at
work on the concrete piers of the
structure.
Reputedly a good swimmer, it was
thought that he was handicapped by
heavy clothing in the river, which
was swollen by recent rains. He was
employed by H. M. Peterson, a con-
tractor, and had planned to finish
his work that day.
Shers, who was 40 years of age, is
survived by his wife and two chill
dren in Reno, Houston county.

OF
Market Is Coal
OF Land O'Lakes
Twenty Years of Coopera.
tive Marketing Reviewed
By John Brandt.

In twenty years the sales of north
west dairy products by Land O'Lakes
Creameries, Inc, cooperative dairy
product marketing association owned
and controlled by nearly 100000
northwest dairy farmers, total nearly
two billion units.
John Brandt of Litchfield, president
of the cooperative, made this an
nouncement recently in connection
with the organizations twentieth an
niversary. Land O'Lakes is celebrat-
ing 20 years of progress throughout
National Dairy month.
Sales Nearly Billion.
Sales of 1916, 195,178 units in 20
years have amounted to 1928, 1904
Mr.. Brandt said.
Cali of these sales were made with
the goal of returning the biggest pos
sible share of the consumers. dairy
dollar to the farmer" Mr. Brandt said
Land OLakes success in attaining
this goal is demonstrated by actual
gains.
Land OLakes has been leader
in giving the dairy farmer stabilized
market" he continued. Through the
Dairy Product Marketing association,
a group which includes as its directors
representatives of the largest COOP
erative dairy product marketing as
sociations in the country, cooperative

level for dairy products.
Remove Speculative Element.
"The DPMA program in the years
of price depression has meant five
to eight cents more per pound of but
terfat to farmers than they would
have received without it. Further
more, the farmers have received this
price during the period of high pro-
duction. This sterilization program
has removed the speculative element
which resulted in low prices to farm
ers when they produced the most and
high prices when they produced the
least Both producer and consumer
have benefited.
"In addition, authentic records show
other savings made possible by COOP
erative marketing. The northwest
dairy farmer today nets about four
cents more per pound of the market
price for butter than he did before
Land O'Lakes was organized. This
is substantiated by records submitted
to the Dairy Extension Division of
the University of Minnesota by secre-
taries of Minnesota cooperative
creameries just prior to the organiza-
ton of Land OLakes. The records
show net prices received by cream
cries in relation to market quotations
for New York extras.
"This greater share of the market
price for the farmer has accrued to
all farmers of the northwest" Mr..
Brandt said. "In one state alone,
Minnesota, this single benefit today
means $11,OOO,O0O yearly in extra
income for the dairy farmers"
These benefits do not take into
consideration gains by the Land
O'Lakes efficiency program, which
has brought additional extra income
to the farmer through higher prices
paid for better quality.

The Federals thus remained unde-

Finlayson remaining on their heels

And then she knew where it
really came from. Vernon Stone.
Of course. She had thought his
signature only a poWer-of-attorney
gesture. She looked into Theodore
Vircent's raging, darkencd face
and set her lips in a mutinous line.
No wonder he had waited patiently
for her return.

Vernon Stone again. Allowance

you have sweethearts, besides. Yes.
Ylena, you're very popular" Still
holding her. he stepped back of her
chair and curved his other hand
about her throat. Tightly.
Then he bent and kissed her
shoulders, swiftly moved his mouth
to hers and closed upon her lips in
a repulsive, branGy-scented kiss.
Across his cheeks he felt her fin
gernails, rapid and sharp. but he
did not release her. That pain was
slight in comparison to the pleas
ure of humiliating her.
Very popular" he said again,
finally, and stood erect. Even

finger tips across scratched cheeks.
For a second he gazed a bit humor-

MARyL AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
-- By DREW PEARSON -----

Washington. D. c., July 18.-No
longer is it unique to see a woman
in Congress. Even Mrs Caraway
Of Arkansas, sitting in the distin-
guished upper chamber no longer
arOuses surprise or comment. How
ever, the Congress has been par
ticularly interested in Mrs. Byon,
first because her husband was a
very popular figure in the House of
Representatives and second be-
cause she herself is a most attrac-
tive person. Therefore. more of
the public spotlight than usual has
been focused upon the Congress-
woman from the Sixth District.
When Mrs. Byron first came to
Washington one of her Congress
sional friends rendered this ad-
vice:
Look sad, my dear, and weep
occasionally. You do it beautifully.
But don't make any speeches.
So far, Mrs. Byron has not ex-
actly followed this advice. She
has been much more than a mere
widow She has been conscientious
in taking care of her constituents.
She has been faithful at every ses-
sion of Congress. She has not
confined herself to weeping. In
fact, she can more than hold her
own with any member of the Mary
land delegation and with most of
the other members of Congress.
However, the widow Byron is
somewhat inclined to rush into sit
uations where older and more ex-
perienced legislators fear to tread.
For instance, one of the first things
she did after arriving in Washing
ton was to call upon William

These were to include the AAA,
