PRINCETON CREAMERY.
Stockholders Meet and Elect q
Board of Officers for the
Ensuing Year.

Meet and Elect a
Board Of Officers for the
Ensuing Year.
Dividend of Ten Per Cent. declared and
the Stockholders are Happy.
The second annual election of officers
OF the Princeton Creamery Association
was held in the Village hall, Prince
ton, Monday forenoon. Secretary
Chadbourne read the report of the
treasurer and his own report as man
ager. He also went into minute de-
tails in explaining matters to the stock
holders. A dividend of ten per cent.
was declared and the stockholders were
more than pleased with the wise and
conservative management and with the
results obtained.
On motion of J. L. Cater, seconded
by half dozen others, the old officers,
with one or two exceptions were unan-
imously reelected, as follows: Chas.
Judkins, president; Frank Hense,
treasurer; C. H. Chadbourne, secre-
tary and manager; r. G. Dunn,
August Gerth, r. w. Freer, John
Rogers, r. M. Patchin and VIM.
Orion, directors. Ill., ...,.-. ...
When it is taken into consideration
that the creamery has only been run
| ming eleven months, the difficulties the
management had to contend with in
the start in establishing routes, intro
ducing the Fairlamb system of cans,
educating the farmers how to care for
| cream, etc., the showing made is ex-
tremely gratifying. ...
Nearly S11 900 in cash has been paid
! out to farmers in eleven months, and
| i've times as much cream could have
been easily handled and the product as
easily disposed of at top market prices.
| At the same time it should be borne IN
mind that the Princeton Creamery
paid the highest price for cream-for
! five months the price was 2Octs per
| test gauge. The farmers are begin
ming to realize that the creamery is a
| God-send to them, and we predict that
three times more cream will be ham
died this year than last. It is
the aim OF the management to pay the
stockholders a fair interest on their
stock and pay the farmers every cent
possible for cream.

where there were two passenger trains

THREADS OF THOUGHT.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.

Do not play at blindfold with charity.
BE grateful for life if for nothing else.
Offer thanks and give ank-offerings.
Kind wishes are good, but good deeds are

Our deeds seal our words in the record of
our lives.
Be like the harvest OF the year-good, and

from this country and returned it in the
form OF plate glass. The quality and
supply here are both superior. The first
plate glass concern in America lost over
81 100000 though making an excellent

to imperfect machinery and the high price

France.
