The week marked the enactment into law of the marlfethg| measure that puts Minnesota in the forefront of states acting in behalf of the producer of farm products, and the consumer as well. i ; # The legislature passed the bill amending the present co- operative law, sent it to the governor and his sxgnaturg, was at- tached promptly. This action redeems, in less than six weeks| after the legislature convened, the pre-election pledge of those who stood against the program of the Nonpartisan league lea@-; ers and favored real co-operation as the solution of the economlc; problems of the producers. . i The law is recognized as one of the most 1mp_ortant farm and farm products measures ever adopted by a ‘legls]‘ature, a.nd‘ by acting under it the farmers can secure a nation-wide selhngl organization for perishable crops. a | By the terms of the law, co-operative organizations already in existence, and those to be organized, can affiliate and form a larger organization which can operate over as Awide a field as the individual producers thus affiliated deem wise. Under this law, such organizations as the Minnesota Po- tato Growers’ exchange can expand their selling operations, especially along the line of entering terminal markets. . Experts who have studied the measure and who gave advice and counsel in its drafting claim that its effects will be a higher price for farm products to the producer and prompt receipt‘ of the price of the products; a lessening of the cost 6f growing and particularly of the costs of packing and marketing, as a re-| sult of which, though the producer will realize an increased| § profit, the consumer will find no additional burden placed upon him, and with probabilities that when the plan provided under| the law is in full operation he will find ihis costs even less— ‘saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars of waste by promptly finding a market, for perishable goods. * SESIESTY - ol MR. FORD’S “TIN” COWS 2 U We expect’'the unusual from Henry Ford. When he an-| nounced a few days ago that wages in his big Detroit factory would not be cut from their $6-a-day minimum and that he does not propose to borrow any money from the “loan sharks” of ‘Wall Street, no one was surprised. | But that is not the most unusual of Mr. Ford’s recent ex-| ploits. Behold! The mechanical cow! | “The farmer will see the day when both the horse and the| cow will be done away with,” says Mr. Ford. “It is a simple| matter to take the same cereals that the cows eat and make ‘them into milk which is superior to the natural milk and much‘{ cleaner. The cow is the crudest animal in the world.” How delightful to go out to the garage in the morning,| crank Bossy, hear her four cylinders explode, turn the spigot, and return to the breakfast table with the family milk pail, foaming and overflowing, on your arm! Strange as it seems to the lay mind, science agrees with | Mr. Ford. The artificial cow is by no means a gemote pqssj-{ bility. The project of producing synthetic milk has much to recommend it, especially from the sanitary standpoint. In one particular only does Mr. Ford appear to err. That | is in predicting the passing of the horse and the cow. There are more horses in the country now than when the first tin Lizzie was produced. - Chances are the tin Bossy will supple- ment, but never supplant, its bovine original.

In the clay beds of ‘the'valley of Connecticut are found curious concre- * tions, specimens of which, sent to Eng- Iand, excited the interest of the Royal society as long ngo as 1670. The: concretions appear, in four principal types: Disk shaped, cylindrical, .bo-" troidal (resembling grape clusters), and irregularities, some of which strik- Ingly suggest imltations of animal‘] forms. A remarkable fact is that each. clay bed has a form of concretion pe- culiar to itsplf, and the principal types are never found intermingled in the same hed. The beds are composed of stratified river drift clays, or “Cham- plain” lays.—New York Evening Post. —_— National Capital’s Early Days. Pennsylvania avenue—the Appian way of our republic—was graded while Jefferson was President, at a cost of$14,000. Jefferson personally superintended the planting of four rows of Lombardy peplars between row along each curbstone and two other rows in the street. This di- vided the avenue into three straight- aways, like Unter den Linden in Ber- lin, In winter and spring the drive- way was frequently a succession of mudholes, some of them axle deep, mud.

The earliest hat wa a symbol— away back 6,000 years ago, when the Egyptians invented it, to show the rank of men. And then, along the Tigris and Euphrates hats appeared— as helmets of fightihg men. The archaic picture of Niraw-Sin, ruler of Agada, shows him in a helmet with curved horns, = Cloth .and sfur came first—hats modeled after the old tiger- skin idea—and then, legend runs, St. Clement invented the mode of felting rapbit’s fur. Cloth hoods, and mailed caps, also, developed. through igrmor. The more general 1ise, of hats seeins to have originated in Englan Norman Conquest, 1066 A. the thirteenth century hats with brims appeared. In 1254 Popé Innocent the ! Fourth authorized the’ wearing of hats by cardinals. Medieval plumed hats ap- peared about this time. Ancient Weather Vanes. The idea of Indicating which way the wind blows by means of a vane does not seem to commend itself espe- cially to modern architects. The most | Interesting specimens of weather vanes must be referred to the days when chivalry and ecclesiasticism, both lav- ish of heraldic or symbolic decoration, were supreme.

Such a sentiment as i | expressed ‘n the sentence, “Woma fickle as the wind,” may have been in the mind of Theodosius the Great wlien he erected at Constartinople, in the fourth century, the'vane called the “Lady of the Winds.” INCREASES IN TRAFFIC COSTS ARE HEARD TODAY (By United Press) Bismarck, N.
