Cooperative Grain Association Makes
It's First Report.

Salina, April 8.-The manager OF the
Solomon County COOPERATIVE Grain as
sociation has made his first annual re-
port, which shows that the farmers of
Kansas by cooperation can be as sue
cessful as any other class OF people,
whose interests are the same. The Solo
mon company was organized one year
ago with a capital stock of $4,000. They
purchased an elevator and began buy
ing and selling grain. They bought
wheat at an advance of about 4 cents
over the price paid by the combine and
sold it again at a profit
During the year the company bought
and sold $3.50 600 worth Of grain at
clear profit Of from to 4 cents to the
farmer over and above what the COM
bine would have paid him Besides this
benefit the stockholders have received
a 10 per cent dividend on their stock,
which was bought a year ago at $3.50
per share and is now worth $50. All of
the farmers interested are greatly
pleased at the success Of the company,
which is composed Of about 100 fa1eaers
of Solomon and vicinity.

COrbett said:
Jack you have a great future before
you. and have all the essential points that
go toward making a champion. You do
too much work in the first place, lead too
often and don't set yourself properly for
the delivery of a hard blow. In fact, you
waste too much energy"
Corbett~ gave O. Brien the following point
ers for his coming fight with Walcott:
Tn WalcOtt you are meeting a man who
is a thorough ring general, and is always
coming to you. 50 prepare yourself for
hard battle and pay particular attention
to your defensive. work. and above all
things meet the rushes with straight
blows. Fight him out good and strong;
don't let him get too close; don't waste
any blows and you have a good chance
to win"
