who in turn sells to a retail mer
chant. Five middlemen are thus con
cerned in such a transaction.
Onions raised in Kentucky are
sometimes bought by a local mer
chant and shipped to Louisville here
they may be put into sacks and con
signed to a New York wholesaler or
a commission man who in turn sells
to a New York retailer. Eggs and
poultry frequently pass through the
hands of at least four middlemen.
The marketing of clover seed is an
example of a transfer from one farm
er to another through a number of
middlemen. The first middleman
may be an Indiana jobber who con
signs to a commission dealer in To
ledo, Ohio, here the seed may be pur
chased by a merchant and shipped to
a wholesale dealer in a distant city.
The last middleman in this course of
distribution is a country storekeeper
or a city dealer in agricultural sup
plies.
Market Places and Warehouses.
Public market places are establish
ed in a number of cities and towns,
and in these places consumers may
buy such articles as fruit, vegetables,
dairy products, poultry, and eggs
direct from farmers as well as from
dealers.
Another institution which aids the
(producer to dispose of his crop is the
public warehouse. Illustrations of
this are afforded in the marketing of
tobacco in Virginia and North Caro
lina, wool from the Northern Rocky
Mountain states, and to some extent
rice in Louisiana and Texas. The
growers or their representatives, with
their produce, meet the buyers at
these warehouses.
While farm products are in transit
toy rail, there are certain points at
MOTHERS OF PUNY CHILDREN
May Find Help in This Letter.
"My little daughter ever since her
birth had been frail and sickly, and
was a constant source of worriment.
Several months ago I secured a bottle
of Vinol and commenced to give it to
her. I soon noticed an improvement
in her health and appearance. I gave
her in all three bottles and from the
good it has done her I can truly say
it will do all you claim." J. Edmund
Miller, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Vinol builds up weak,
ailing children so quickly is because
it contains in a delicious combination
the two most world famed tonicsi.
e., the strength creating, tody build
ing elements of cod liver oil, with all
the useless grease eliminated, and
tonic' iron for the blood added. If
you have a weak, puny, ailing child.
Try Vinol, our offer to return your
money if it tails to benefit your little
one. Barker's Drag Store, .Bemidji,

which the consignor may designate
a final destination. The purpose of
this practice is to enable the consign
or to find the best market for his
goods. This is the plan followed in
shipping fruits and vegetables by rail
from California to the east and from
Southern states to the north.
The secretary of agriculture has
much to say concerning associative
marketing by farmers, and the econ
omic advantages are stated in detail.
"A survey of the systems of market
ing farm products clearly discovers
what the farmers can best do to their,
advantage. They must associate
themselves together for the purpose
of assembling their individual contri
butions of products, of shipping in
carload lots, of obtaining market
news at places to which it is practi
cal to send their products, to sell in
a considerable number of markets, if
not in many markets, and to secure
the various other economic gains of
associativa selling."
To carry out this suggestion, it is
recommended that if congress estab
lishes a division of markets, a corps
of traveling field agents be. maintain
ed to assist farmers to form associa
tions for marketing their products.
It is also recommended that esti
mates of the prospective supply of
fruits and vegetables, and perhaps
other products not now represented
in the quantitative estimates of the
department's crop reporting service,
be made a short time before harvest,
so that the farmer may "have in mind
a fairly definite idea of the volume
of the crap throughout the country
in order that he may occupy a place
in the market that is fair to himself
or, as the case may be, a place in the
market that is fair to the consumer."
General market news service is not
recommended. If such service were
derived from telegraphic reports, the
expense would be enormous. One far
mers' marketing association spends
$25,000 a year in telegraphing alone
and a fruit growers' organization
spends $75,000 for this service.

LEGISLATURE TO
CONVENE TUESDAY
(Continued from first page).
practices act were passed at a two
weeks extra session, numerous
amendments to these acts- are neces
sary at this session as the result of
the experience of their application at
the late primaries. This will take up
much of the legislature's time, and it
is here also that the progressives
fear the power of the reactionaries,
as many efforts will be made to tack
on amendments that will nullify the
intent of the primary law.
Bills Already Proposed.
Among the bills already proposed
are:
Bill to abolish local assessors and
substitute county "assessors.
Bill to create a free state teachers
employment agency.
Bill to create state department of
lands.
Bill to .provide for the sale of for
eign bonds .that Minnesota money
may be used for the development of
Minnesota municipalities.
Bill to create lecture bureau for
the state immigration department.
Bill to create legislative reference
department.
Bill to establish income tax.
Bill to provide for uniform divorce
legislation.
Bill creating new industries at
state prison.
The woman suffrage bill will come
up again and it is believed to have a
good chance to pass both houses.
The state board of control wishes
the legislature, to provide for substan
tial increases in tne salaries of at
tendants at state institutions, the
present low salaries being held ac^
countable for all the scandals that
have arisen at the asylums and train
ing schools.
The countyoption fight of past ses
sions is expected to be among the
missing at this session. The principle
did hot figure in the state campaign
and no hint that it will be pressed
has thus far been forthcoming.
Great progress is expected in the
way of good roads legislation at the
coming session.
The legislature is expected to show
considerable generosity' toward the
movement to boost Minnesota by in-
creasing the appropriations and the
possibilities of the state immigration
bureau.
The large number of new members
in the house^ makes it likely that
there will be an unusually large
number of bills introduced at the
session, and there is danger that un
less a program of strict adherence to
the few vital measures is adopted,
that some good bills may fail
through lack of time for their con
sideration.
The progressives of both bodies are
in agreement on a working schedule
and every effort will be made by these
members to carry out a definite pro
gressive program by concentrating
attention on the fundamentally es
sential measures.
FIRST MEETING OF NATIONAL
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
(Continued from first page.)
ton interested in this movement to
bring the judgment of the organized
business forces of the country to bear
upon the business problems of the
nation. One of the great subjects
taken up at the annual meeting, at
the instance of the Merchants' asso
ciation of New York, the- Manufac-
turers' association of Beaver County,
Pa., and the National Association of
Tanners, is that of a permanent
tariff commission.
Great interest attaches to this first
annual convention for the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States is
just eight months old, having grown
out of the national commercial con
ference, called to meet in Washing
ton last April. The officers and direc
tors then chosen have within less
than a year made the chamber a
power in the business affairs of the
Nation. The need of a Chamber of
Commerce of the United States was
seen before ever the Constitution of
the United States was-written. In
1783 Pelatiah Webster outlined the
place of such an organization, yet
only is 1912 did it become a fact.
The rapid growth of the recent past
indicates how decided a need this
organization will fill. Two hundred
and thtirty-five business organiza
tions are now united In one.
The first annual banquet will be
held January 22. President Taft will
be the principal speaker. The guests
of the conventi&n will be heads of de
partments and congressional leaders.
The chamber of commerce is non
partisan. It is an organized endeavor
to render available for congress and
the government the opinion of the
business interests of the nation.

JEFF TESREAU GETS RECORD
New York Twlrler Has High Percent
age Mark In National League
New Method of Rating.
Jeff Tesreau of .the New York Giants
ball club is the leading hurler of the
National league by the modern method
of figuring percentages although Hen
drix of the Pirates had the highest per.
centage of victories in which he
pitched. Tesreau was third in games
won and lost by the Giants. Mathew
son of the Gotham tdam is second to
Tesreau under the new system, al
though he finished eighth according to
the old.
For the basis of his new method of
rating twirlers Mr. Heydler chose the
actual number of runs made by the op
posing team, for which each pitcher
was responsible. He adopted a modi
fication of the old "earned run," which
was. abolished officially many years
ago. In computing the number of
earned runs, each pitcher was charged
with runs which resulted from safe
Jeff Tesreau,
hits, sacrifice hits, bases on balls, hit
batsmen, wild pitches and balks. Runs
scored as direot results of fielding er*
rors, stolen bases and passed balls
were exempted from the record and no
runs were charged against pitchers, no
matter how they were made, aftei
chances had been offered, and not ac
cepted, to retire the side.
Eddie Hallinan of the St. Louis
Browns, who looked like a comer, has
been sold to the Vernon club of the
Pacific Coast league.
The St. Louis Cardinals have sold
Frank Gillhooley to the Montreal club
of the International league. He was
tried out by Toledo last year.
If baseball players get such fabu
lous salaries as alleged in some prints
they might be compelled to ship their
earnings home by parcels post.
The Cincinnati fans say Joe Tinker
was needed for their team and they
also chirp they will be good and raise
no dickens against their manager.
Some humorist has it that the Phil*
lies got all the breaks last season,
including Titus' ankle, Knabe's hand,
Dooin's legs and Mangus' pledge.
Bill Dahlen says Hot Springs, is a
jinx town, and that his team will
profit by switching from there to
Colunfbus, Ga., for spring training.
It's no use to talk about a trade for
Bescher. Garry Herrmann says he
will not listen to a deal which takes
the speeder away from Cincinnati,
Ed Walsh is celebrating because he
has heard rumors to the effect that
pitchers are to be rated at their in
trinsic value in the American league
Frank Baker, the king of sluggers
In the American league, was the most
timely hitter in Ban Johnsons or
ganization. Baker poled in 133 runs.
Cy Morgan, who was released by
the Athletics to Kansas City and re
fused to report, says that he will be
a good boy and join the Blues next
spring.
Bat Nelson probably will come out
with about ten reels against interlop
ers using his name in losing fights.
"Bat" ought to have his name copy
righted.
Rudy Unholz, Boer fighter, says he
has .developed a "crouch" that will

To Darken the Hair and Restore Gray
and Faded Hair to Its Na
tural Color.
It is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a "sage tea," and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they, are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in us
ing "sage tea" for their hair and are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad
vantage of the past in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. As a scalp tonic and color re
storer this preparation is vastly su
perior to the ordinary "sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dan
druff germs which rob the hair of its
life, color and lustre, makes the scalp
clean and healthy, gives the hair
strength, color and beauty, and makes
it grow.

druggist today. He will give your
money back if you are hot satisfied
