DESPER ATE RETREAT.

Toxic, Sept. 8. -It is generally known
that General Kuropatkin succeeded BY
means of a desperate rear guard action
and strong and well handled flank move
i1aerts in withdrawing the great bulk Of
the Russian army, and that he cut
bridges to hamper the Japanese. pursuit.
Critical interest centers in the opera
items of the japanese right wing which
occurred late Friday night and early
SATURDAY morning. General Kuroki then
swung to the westward, his movement
being designed to flank the remainder Of
the Russians left, at Lao Yang itself.

kin is bound to lose many prisoners 10

CREAMERY PROMOTERS
SWINDLE THE FARMERS

Columbia, Mo, Sept. 6-According to
reports received by the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Missouri,
a new swindle is now being successfully
worked in various Missouri towns by
the so-called creamery promoter"
whose business it is to organize CO.
operative creamery company among the
farmers surrounding a town and sell
the organization $4,000 outfit for about
$4,000 -, -t.
A smooth individual appears Il the
town where it is proposed to victfmize
the farmers, takes rooms at the best ho-
tel and begins to talk creamery" He
is always supplied with the most con-
vincing statistics, either counterfeit or
gathered from localities peculiarly adapt
ed to the business.
In two weeks a meeting is called by
influential farmers, and the plot from
this point moves rapidly to completion.
The promoter" moves on to new fields;
the creamery runs few months and
then closes, a financial failure.
Down in Cassville, the county seat of
Barry County, the promoter had things
going his way, when some cautious per-.
son decided to investigate little before
putting up the money. Accordingly he.
wrote to the agricultural department of
the Columbia University, asking for ex-
pert advice
r. NJ Washburn Of the dairy farm
was detailed to investigate. He found
the community just on the point of pay
ing $500 for $4,000 plant, when even
at the smaller figure there was consid-
cradle doubt about the financial success
of the enterprise with the number of
cows in the vicinity of Cassyille, and the
non4adaptability of the surrounding
country to the dairy business.
