OBJECTS TO PRESENT METHODS
Of the Belle Springs Creamery-A
Farmers Suggestions.

To the Editor Of the Reflector.
DILLON, June 27-The patrons OF
the Belle Springs Creamery Company
have become very indignant at the
way the company have been dealing
with them since its existence.
Hoping a few words will place the
patrons in their position before the
people, l will leave the question to
be settled by the company and patrons.
Some ten or twelve years ago, the
ACCESSIBILITY of starting creamery
was discussed, and the result was
that a creamery was to be started,
the farmers owning all the stock.
The creamery business at that time
was in its infancy, and whether 1t
could be made paying industry or
not, was a question which only time
itself could solve. For this reason
the following plan was adopted;
The expenses Of the company were
deducted from the sales of butter, and
after allowing fair rate of interest
on money invested, the balance to be
paid the patrons. As will be seen by
the plan the company adopted the
patrons do not know until they are
paid the amount they are to receive
per hundred. This gives the company
the privilege Of any dividend they
may wish. Is it any wonder that the
stockholders are getting richP
Only a few months ago one OF the
principal stockholders sold out for
something like 100000, and he had
been connected with the company n
comparatively short time. This plan
seemed to be all right so long as the
farmers were at the head of the COM
pany, but only short time elapsed
until spectators saw a good thing in
the creamery business, and they pro-
ceeded to invest their money at once,
and the plan the farmers had adopted
for buying milk, when the business
was in its infancy and when there was
much doubt as to whether it would be
a paying industry or not, has been in
effect ever since.
The company have recently stated
that they would soon commence buy
ing milk according to quality rather
than quantity.
Buy it as you please, what your
patrons want to know is this; What
are we to receive per hundred for ouI
milk?
Did you ever hear of farmer TAX
ing a load Of grain to market anc
dumping it in the elevator and thel
have the buyer fix the price, W.
guess not.
Do you wonder that we wan
another creamery Do you doub
that we will have It? II you do, yo'

To the parent as well as the educator the
position of the pupil when writing should
be Of the greatest interest. That there is
an alarming increase of spinal curvature
and near sight in children of the present
day goes without saying. There must he
some reason for it. If we accept the state
ment of the Vienna commission of experts
appointed to investigate the cause of this
increase, we find it charged to the account
of sloping writing, with its unavoidable
faulty positions.
If the pupil who slants his letters sits
sidewise to the desk "a very common posi-
tom, not only is one shoulder usually high
er than the other, but the head is common
ly turned until a line connecting the pupils
of the eyes is parallel to the line in which
he is writing. Nature impels him to twist
his neck so that one eye shall he the same
distance from the letters he is making as
the other. Unless he does turn his head,
the eyes are not equidistant from his work
which tends to shorten the sight of one eye
and lengthen that of the other. This ac
counts in large measure for the need of two
glasses of different power for the same per
son, so frequently met with at the present
time.-Popular Science Monthly.
