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- slgns to & 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 by 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 tonics—i. e., the strength creating, body 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 fails to benefit your little one. Barker’s Drug Store, .Bemidjt, 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 agsembling 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 associative selling.” To carry out this suggestion, it is recommended that if congress estab- lishes a division of markets, a corps of traveling field agents ba 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, 80 that the farmer may “have in mind a fairly definite idea of the volume of the crop 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 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 creafe lecture bureau 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 state prison. The woman suffrage bill wfll 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 the 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 county-option fight of past ses- sions is expected to be among the ssors and for at missing at this session. The principle |. did not 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. i The legislature 18 expected. to show considerable generosity toward- the| movement to boost Minresota 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 bé 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 (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 commereial 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 Comstitution 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 conventibn 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. CARD OF THANKS.

Jeft Tesreau of the New York Giants ball club {8 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 téam 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 wag 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 pitchies and balks. Runs gcored as direct results of fielding er rors, stolen bages and passed balls were exempted from the record and no runs were charged against pitchers, na matter how they were made, after chances had been offered, and not ac cepted, to retire the side. JPORT] —~—l Eddle Hallinan of the St. Louis Browns, who looked like & 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 thelr earnings home by parcels post. The Cincinnatl 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 I 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 swiiching 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 takea ‘the speeder away from Cincinnat, 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 Johnson's or ganization. Baker poled in 133 rums. 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 Blue- next spring. Bat Nelson probably will come out with about ten reels against interlop: ers using his name in losing fights. “Bat” ollght to have his name copy: righted. Rudy Unholz, Boer fighter, says he has developed a “crouch” that will puzsle all his opponents. It he will discover a “wallop” he may make Bome progress.
