Farmers' Creamery   !    boy killed by gun
Prospering
I       vc   been   asked   so   often
th • que the 1 'armers'
ry   was   doing",    that   T
havi I to give an account
oi M ; progress. The creamery
with everything the way it is
there now. was built at a cost
of about SUCK).00. After it was
ready to accept cream the officers found out that they would
have to make a loan of §1500 to
pay all bills due them. Besides
this, there was one cream vat
due May 1st. which cost $"375.00.
The $1500 were loaned from
the bank, half payable this fall
and half next fall. The officers
securing the first note, also a
mortgage was given on the
creamery. The vat was paid
during the month of May. Last
Saturday the officers instructed
the secretary to pay $500.00 on
the mortgage. Besides this, the
creamery was painted which
cost over $50.00. AU this money was taken out ofthe sinking
fund-
Now some certainly want to
know where we got that money
from.
We take your cream, weigh it
and lest it, then it is made into
butter. The butter is shipped
to New York city or Philadelphia. When the money for the
same is returned, we take off
the expenses first for running
the creamery, such as butter-
maker's salary, coal oil, tubs,
coloring etc. Then one cent is
taken away from every pound
of butterfat which went into
making that butter. This we
put into what is called the sinking fund, out of which we paid
the $925.00. The remainder of
the money is paid to patrons
pro rata according to butter fat
each one brought to the creamery. So you see every cent is
paid to patrons, overrun
all except the one cent
pound.
At the annual meeting I
asked how we expected to
that debt. My answer was that
the cows would pay tlie same.
They have reduced it now to
$1000. Before another August
rolls around, they will have
wiped out the entire debt.
We still sell shares for §25.00.
How long we will do that I
don't know. We also p*iy the
same for cream to non-shareholders. This probably will be
changed next year, as the non-
shareholders can not expect the
shareholders to invest $25 hard
cash and get nothing for it.
Buy a share now. If you
can't pay cash for it, we will
accept your note. We have
shown you that Cooperation is
alright if managed right. With
this I don't want to say that it is
managed to perfection, as there
are a good many things that
could be and ought to be improved. No one who has
watched the price of butterfat
will deny that we have paid one
cent more for the same than the
9*
neighboring creameries.

To the Voters and Taxpayers ot
Morrison County.
My opponent, Prank X.Heroux,
is going through the county and
making statements that my ex
pense account for the month of
May, 1912, was excessive, and
misrepresenting by implication
that such monthly expense is an
average of the expense of my
office, which is untrue and known
to him to be untrue. On the 12th
of May, 1912, a murder was committed in Kail Prairie town in
this county, which is fresh in the
minds of the voters, and the following is a literal copy of my
bill, which was approved by the
county attorney and duly audited and allowed b3* the county
commissioners, and which includes all my expenses incurred
in connection with said murder
together with livery hire which
was used by the county attorney
and county coroner along with
myself in running down and ferreting out the perpetrater of
one of the murders ever committed in the county.

MAN KILLED AT HOLDINGFORD
Holdingford Sept. 6. In a railroad .accident at Holdingford
Thursday afternoon one man
was killed and another serious-,
ly injured. The accident took
plaCe about ") p. tn while a Soo
freight was I eing made up in
the yard. The two men, Tom
Lepke, age 28, and Martin Yar-
noct, age ."i0 years, were crossing behind the train when it
was started backwards suddenly
striking them. The former was
almost instantly killed and the
latter is in a serious   condition.
Both were farmers living
near Holdingford. As there
was no brakeman at the rear of
the train to warn the men it is
possible that the railroad company maybe liable for damages.
