&V*? t^^^^m^^^^^^ 1 "XT E PAGE TWO BUREAU TO PROBE BOYCOTT CHARGES Machinery Manufacturers Are ReBureau ported to Seek to Crowd Out Prison Products. (Farm Barra News Service.) Charges that manufacturers of har vesting machinery have boycotted dealers who handle products of the Minnesota prison will be investigated by officials of the Minnesota Farm Bureau federation. It Is reported that dealers have been told that unless they drop the prison line, they will not be permitted to handle other equip ment. "Farmers of Minnesota last year were saved $150,000 on their bill for prison machinery," said J. F. Reed, president, "largely through the co operation of the farm bureau with the prison authorities. 'Minnesota' equip ment, the trade name under which prison products are sold, is growing in popularity, and we strongly suspect the the boycott reports are a part of a renewed campaign to discredit "Minnesota" machines. If these re ports are found to be true, the full force of the Farm Bureau movement will be used to reveal the source from which they come." "Rank Nonsense." A few days ago the business world looked askance at the co-operative movement. Today it not only accepts but applauds it. The biggest men, in the most conservative lines, say that it is necessary, inevitable and desire able. Secretary Hoover, idol of tthe com mercial world, is outspoken in his de fense of co-operatives. "Rank non sense," is the way he disposes of the charge that co-operation smacks of socialism. In a recent speech on the subject he said: "Co-operative marketing asso ciations should receive the encourage ment of governmental agencies be cause they make for economic distrib ution, and for stability in markets and marketing. "The notion has been advanced that these organizations are of a social istic type. This is rank nonsense. They are the exact antithesis of so cialism. No man is a member of a co-operative marketing association ex cept to get more for what he sells or to pay less for what he buys. This is individualism. "Co-operative marketing associa tions should receive the support of bankers and financiers because they are purely business institutions, and as such, deserve the same considera tion from bankers as any other busi ness organizations. "Business men should encourage co operative marketing among producers for the same reason that they should support any method for the advance ment of the business and economic life of the countrybecause it is good business. "Personally I think the principles of co-operative markeing of farm pro ducts, so far as is consistent, should be applied to some other types of produc tion."Potato Digest. Corn Pickers Are in Demand. Sections of Minnesota in which corn is a major crop report to F. L. French, secretary of the Minnesota Farm Bureau federation, a heavy de mand for corn pickers. Mr. French has just completed a survey of the state. Farmers are paying an aver age of 5.4 cents an hour for pickers where unloading is done by hand and 4.7 cents where an elevator is used. Men for general work are getting, on an average, $1.90 a day and $37 a month These avereages are based on reports from 48 counties the state. Agent Again for Benton County. Benton countyhas returned to the list of Minnesota counties appropriating for farm bureau work. The county board has voted $1,000 available when the Farm Bureau paid-up member ship totals 300. The county has been without a county agent the past year. The Farmer. \i 5OOOOOOOOOOOCXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCX30000000000000000 THESTO SERVICE Wool Sells for 44 to 32 Cents. All wool consigned by Minnesota farmers to the Wabasha County Farm pool his been sold, according to F. L. French, secretary of the Min nesota Farm Bureau federation. Prices obtained range from 44 cents for bright half-blood, delivered at Chi cago to 32 cents for rejects, delivered at Chicago. Payments to growers are being made now. The net amount received by farmers will range from 2% to 3% cents under the price obtained for the pool' due to charges for receiving, grading storing and transportation. Much interest is manifest among growers, in the movement to organize a state association to establish a per manent wool pool and give growers a better understanding of market condi tions and grades. A state conference of growers and representatives of county wool organizations will be held at the Minnesota Farm Bureau head quarters in St. Paul on November 15. A Hen's Example. From Tacoma comes report of a hen that has laid 335 eggs during the past year. Three hundred and thirty-five eggs in a year of 313 working days, not counting time for holidays. Now, there's a hen! No union rules kept her from doing her best. No kick at overtime work. And all she got out of it, in addition to living food and shelter, was the satisfaction of work well done and a cackle. If humans who love to cackle would only take a page from the Tacoma hen's book, they would raise their rat ing with the achievement-loving world. That bird merely performed her, duty to the best of her abilitywithout any thought of strike and without appeal to Federal labor commissions. She may or may not have known that the nation has been struggling with read justment problems and that it is pro duction that counts. But she set a record that carries a moral.Wash ington Post. CARE OF LEATHER BINDINGS Material Has Tendency to Become Rather Harsh and Break at Hinge If Not Greased. Bookbinding leathers have a ten dency to dry out and become rather harsh, finally breaking at the hinge, if the leather along this line is not kept flexible by occasional greasing. To keep the leather flexible, place the book, back up on a table In a well lighted airy place, and anoint it with vaseline that is free from acid. Rub the vaseline well into the grain, of the leather. Be careful not to get any vase line on the leaves of the book. Use small quantities of vaseline and rub in well with a firm flexible stroke of the bare hand. It is better to start with a very small quantity of vaseline and make several applications, accord ing to the condition of the book rather than to use too much vaseline at first. It Is best to do this work in summer. When greased, place on a shelf to dry for 24 to 48 hours and finally rub off, says the bureau of chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. Names. "George Harvey turning Anglophile? Not on your life!" said a New York editor who had worked as a reporter with the ambassador-journalist in the old days. "George," he went on, "at a fash ionable dinner at the embassy while I was visiting him poked fun at Eng lish names "He said that one of the aristocratic Cave-Brown Caves went over to New York and made there the acquaintance of a man named Home. "Home, as he talked to his new friend, kept calling him Mr. Cave. The Englishman winced every time this happened, but Home didn't notice any. thing amiss, so finally he said: 'I say, call me Cave-Brown-Cave, there's a good chap, won't you? "Home accepted the correction hum bly. But he was biding his time. After a while the Englishman called him Mr. Home, and he said: "Til ask you to call me Home Sweet-Home if you don't mind.'" ins Bargains Bargains Old Faithful Corn Flakes, large package Seeded Raisins, 5 oz. pkg special Oil Sardines, special, 6 for 25c Men's wool Union Suits, special $2.98 Men's wool Socks, special 23c Men's wool Gloves, special 23c Men's Overalls, special $1,29 Children's Fleeced Hose, special 15c to 19c Splendid value in 56 in.

I m PROPER CARE OF SHOES Proper care of shoes means a saving in shoe bills of from 29 to 50 per cent, says the bureau of chemistry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. At the same time it Insures good-look ing footwear. Proper care of shoes means: Have two pairs of shoes to wear on alternate days. Use shoe trees to retain the original shape of the shoes. Keep heavy out-of-door work shoes clean and greased. Keep shoes for street wear clean and polished. Have all repairs made as soon as needed. Some important facts to re member are that: Wet leather is soft, and there: fore readily stretched out of shape. Stitches cut through wet leath er much more easily than through dry leather. Wet soles and heels wear away rapidly. Wet leather burns at a tem perature that is only a little hot ter than the hand can bear. If dried too fast, wet leather shrinks, becomes hard and mis shapen. To dry wet shoes: Wash off adhering mud and grit with tepid water. Grease work shoes. Straighten the counter, heel, vamp, and top to correct shape. Stuff with crumpled paper. Set the shoes in a place that is not too warm and let dry slowly. Wait until thoroughly dry be fore wearing. GREENBUSH Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Heckler called at the Farguson home Friday after noon.
