Cooperative Marketing Association?.
Clemeon College. June 25 ?The di?
rectors of the Extension Division Is
advocating the establishment In several
towns in the State of cooperative mar
Uetlng associations for the purpose of
marketing the standardised farm pro?
ducts of the farmers. The plan of
organisation is as follows:
That fifty Individuals will subscribe
list each; thru the capital stock will,
therefore* be $10,000, with the pro?
vision that the stock cannot pay over
I per cent. Interest to the stockhold
era; that there will be no salaried of
ficial* other than the board of direc?
tors who will be paid for their ear
vtces when attending meetings; that
tho marketing association employ a
trained marketing agent who Is famil?
iar with market conditions and who
understands the standardizing and
grading of farm products. The mar?
keting agent will be the only paid of
ftclal of the organisation.
The association will keep on hand
such supplies as nro necessary for
the farmers to use In standardizing
their products; that the profit on
these supplies will not exceed 10
per cent.; that the marketing ngent
will at all times Instruct the farmers
how to standardize and grade their
products; that the association will
not buy any product thnt Is not of?
fered in a marketable condition and
has been graded and standardized.
For Inetance a farmer brings In
eggs The association will not buy
the eggs If they aro dltry, unwnahed,
small and large mixed, of different
colors and not In cartons, nor will
they buy grsln for instance unless
the grsln has l?een graded and stan
' dardrsed and put up a murketabb
condition, and this principle will ap?
ply to the handling of all products.
This association will serve two
purposes. First. It will offe- the
highest possible price to the farmer
for hie products because there will
he very little expense nttached to
conducting the business as the stock
eaa only pay $ per cent. Second.
It will be a means of educating the
farmer ss to how to standardize snd
grade his products and the necessity
for doing the same.
It will be necessary to employ n
train-d marketing agent. It would
not be advisable to employ a bus?
iness man simply because he hud
been successful In conducting his
own business, for there Is sn edu?
cational feature connected with thl?
proposition that requires the em?
ploying of sn expert in marketing
who hss given great thought and has
Investigated the subject of grades,
ciessiAcations snd standards.
FOOD CONTROL BILL VV TO
KKNATE.
House Passes Drastic Measure?So
Food Materials to Be t'sed for Li?
quor.
Washington, June 24.?President
Wilson's request upon congress fot
Tood control legislation In time tc
deal with the year's crops promLc
to bo realized.
With tho battle ground turning U
the senate, following tho overwhelm?
ing passage of tho food control bill
by the house, senate leaders tonlgh'
predicted action thero late this weel*
or early next week.
Itetentlon by tho senate of the
drastic prohibition amendments
adopted by the house or at least o.'
a provision prohibiting the use o'
foodstuffs in manufacturing distilled
spirits generally is deemed probable.
The principal fight on tho prohibi
tlon question is expected to Some
over permitting the manufacture of
malt liquors and wine. Senate sen?
timent against further manufacture
of whiskey, brandy and other dis?
tilled spirits Is widespread, but many
"dry" senators oppose extending the
prohibition to beer and wines.
Tomorrow the bill as It passed the
house will be substituted for the
Chamberlain draft, which the sen?
ate has been debating perfunctorily!
during tho past week.
House changes, senators agree,
have romovi d many features upon
which attack in the upper branch ha
been centred.
Senator (lore, chairman of the ag?
riculture committee, who has been
prominent In opposing the origin.Il
bill, said tonight that all but a very
few objectionable features were
eliminated by tho house.
The house bill will be kept con?
tinuously before the senato until dls
pose I of. General debate is schedul
ed to continue for a few days. Asid
from the prohibition features th*
objects of the principal disputes ex?
pected in the senate are over the li?
censing, minimum price fixing and
guarantee sections and the provision
authorizing the president to fix im
port tariff rates maintaining price
guarantees. The section giving th<
president and food minister boarr
"blanket" powers also is opposed.
Some senators will endeavor t<
extend government control to coil
oil. iron, steel, copper, lead and va?
rious other basic materials. The In
terstate commerce committee will
begin investigations Tuesday with
such extensions In view.
While the senato is occupied wit)
the control hill, the house will pro?
ceed with the rivers and harbors bill,
to be followed by the administration
moosuro authorizing tho president to
direct priority in railroad shipments
which has passed the senate.
The war tax bill probably will bo
completed this week by the senate
finance committee. Income, exoest
profits and publishers' taxes aro the
Important question pending afte *
four weeks of redrafting. Appropria?
tions for the defense council's grea*
air craft programme also will ho con
sldered by both branches of congres.?
this week.
Plant Pumpkins in Com.
Pumpkins planted in corn furnish a
cheap appetizing stock feed. They
should be planted by the latter part of
June, putting a pumpkin seed in
every sixth hill and every misslnr
corn hill. Pumpkins will affect but
slightly the stand of corn and a larg !
smount of fine stock feed can bo rais
ed.
Pumpkins are relished by cattle and
hogs. Fed, uncooked and with th
seeds, they act as an appetizer and |
corrective of digestive troubles. Tw
and one-half tons of uncooked pump
kins are equal to a ton of corn silage
Id cattle. It has been found that 27 '.
pounds of grain and 376 pounds St
pumpkins produced 100 pounds of
pork, the pumpkins saving 100 to 110
pounds of grain. The low cost cl
growing, ease of keeping, large yields,
and the tonic qualities of a succuhrt
food avu.ila.ble when succulent hog
feeds are scare make pumpkins well
worth while.

SAXON "SIX
40 of America's High Priced Cars
and "Saxon Six"
Make This Test Yourself
See How They Compare Feature for Feature
Here we have taken 40 fine-quality
cars built in America. They range
in cost from $1,147 to $6,000 for the
chassis alone.
? H
Let us together compare these
costly cars to Saxon "Six"?cheek?
ing off feature after feature.
First the motor -Saxon "Six'' has
a Continental motor1. So have 12 of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,17f> to
$2,900, Saxon "Six1' costs $936.
Then the axles. Saxon MSix" has
Tim ken axles. So have II* of these
40 cars, costing from $1,200 to $5,?
000.
Now the hearings. Saxon "Six"
has Timken bearings. So have 11 of
these 40 ears, costing from $1,290 to
#.?,000.
And the carburetor. Saxon "Six''
has a Stromherg carburetor. So have
\) of these 40 cars costing from $1,170
to #5,000.
Next the ignitiou. Saxon "Six"
has Kemy ignition. So have 9 of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,176 to
*5,000.
Then the radiator. Saxon "Six '
has a Fcdders radiator. So have 1(>
of these 40 ears, costing from $1,160
to $6,800.
Now the gear. Saxon "Six" has a
spiral bevel gear. So have IS of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,176 to
$6,000 for Lin* chassis alone.
And the axle type. Saxon "Six"
has a gomi Moating axle. So have 11
of these 40 ears costing from $1,200
to $4,800,
Next the storage battery. Saxon
"Six" has the "Kxide" battery. So
have 9 Of these 40 cars, costing from
?l,14r> to $1,800.
Last, the starting and lighting
system. Saxon "Six" has a Wagner.
So have 12 of these 40 cars, costing
from $1,146 to $2,096.
We find, you see, that the ten
most important features of Saxon
"Six" are also features of these
40 cosily cars.
Or, look at it this way. Saxon
"Six" sells for *(J.'S5.
This price is the lowest level that
shrewd and careful purchasing, that
strict economy, that highly develop
ed manufacturing efficiency and vol?
ume output can bring it to.
These 40 other cars cost from $260
to $6,000 more than Saxon "Six" yet
we lind them duplicating Saxon
"Six" features in 10 important
points.
That proves-from one angle ?
the high quality of Saxon "Six"
From another angle it proves that
for *2.r>0 to $300 more you cannot
buy a better car than Saxon "Six."
So why pay more than Saxon "Six"
price?
You don't get more in car value,
or in beauty, or in performance and
your car wiU cost you more in up?
keep than Saxon "Six."
So in every way you figure this
matter Saxon "Six" is a better buy
than any ear at from $250 to $300
more in price.
Saxon "Six" is a big, roomy car,
seating Ave passengers in perfect
comfort.
There's plenty of seat space and
more than ordinary leg length.
And Saxon "Six" is a spirited car
in performance.
It responds to the lightest touch
on the accelerator.
It handles easily and holds the
road well when traveling at high
speed.
Furthermore Saxon "Six" U a vigorous
ly flexible car ami a wonderful high-gear
performer.
The price is $$35, f. o. b. Detroit.
