experienced navigator and will make a
success of the enterprise.

for the establishment of farmers mill
and elevator, but the husbandmen Of Bur
leigh caunty are insearnest, and while they
may not operate them on the cooperative

confident that next year wili2be the turn
ing point and are making all necessary
preparation for an increased average.
