The Cooperative Creamery in Miss


There is propably no rural enter
prise which gives greater satisfaction
to Its members than a cooperative
creamery when 1t prospers; neither
is there any which is remembered
longer than one that has proved a
failure whatever the cause Of the fall
ure.
For the last ven or fifteen years;
more or less actively, farmers and
townsmen OF community have join
ed hands TO build an enterprise OF
this nature. Very seldom, however,
did any people organize and build Of
their own free will. They were usually
talked into the scheme by promoters,
who not caring for the future of the
concern, promoted wherever they
could. Consequently a great many
factories were built which never
should have been, in places not yet
ready for this intensive kind Of farm
ing. There not being business enough
to make 1t pay to run the factory, it
was closed and the remains are still
to be seen all over the State, still
standing as monuments to the greed
of a set Of building sharks In many
places the dairy business as an indus
try is blamed for the acts Of these
men. In many cases plants worth
$1,000 to $4,000 were put up for $4,000
to $1,000 The producers have become
digusted and the business received a
"black eye' which has lasted several
years and still remains. The few that
weather the hard times incident TO
getting well established have been of
very material benefit to their COM
multes, and will receive every posi-
BILE encouragement for this office. 1t
is hoped that in time every pound Of
creamery butter and factory cheese
made in Missouri will be made in the
farmers. cooperative factory

TO ORGANIZE BAND AT MIA,
signor g. B. Lombardo Starts a
Music Glass at the Academy
Next Week Wants to Organ
izs and Direct town
Band Also.

Signor g. B Lombardo the noted
Italian bandmaster who lead the
military band with the New Parker
Amusement Company that appeared
here last October, has made arrange
msnts with Col Fonyille OF the Miss
oufi Military Academy to start q class
in music at the academy, and organize
a band for that institution
Sig. Lombardo is anxious TO organise
aud direct a band for the town also,
and II given the proper encourage
ment will have one OF the best bands
In the state in this city.
II a number OF the business men
will agree TO contribute a certain
amount each week, as is done In Full
tyu and other towns, until the band
can become self sustaining, Il viii
take very little time or money TO get
the organization In shape.
Many merchants would like 70 see
Mexico have a first class band and are
willing to contribute to the support
OF such au organization could they be
assured Of its success. They shy at
proposition to donate or buy instru
ments on the ground that they have
already equipped several bands thai
did not materialize.
These mythical bands were without
Instructor or leader and no bnsines'
head whatever; but with musician oi
Sig. Lombardo's ability and as compe'
tent an organizer as he has proven
himself to be, there would be ~
possibility Of a dismal failure.
Asa double precaution, corps o
lofiicers and a business management
Icould be elected from the contribu
tors. and the funds be handled ant
accounted for by them: certain pc
lcent OF the earnings, when the organ
liration becomes self sustaining, bese
aside to pay for the instruments
which, until they are paid for, woul'
be the property OF the merchants.
4 This is undoubtedly the best oppoi
Itunity Mexico has ever had for a frs
class musical organization, and shoul'
not be allowed to fall through.
| Sig. Lombardo will be In this cit
four days Of each week and is read
and willing to put forth bis bes
efforts IN The organization Of a ban
for Mexico.

BosroS, Jan 20. Five hundred OF
the leading basiness men OF Buston,
members Of the Boston Merchants
Association, attended the annual dim
ner Of the organization at Hotel Som
erset tonight and heard addresses by
Governor Joseph W Folk, Of Missouri,
Mayor John Weaver of Philadelphia,
Governor Curtis Guild, Mayor John
r. Fitzgerald, Of this city, and VIII
liam I. Tilden, leader In the Phila-
delphia Citizens movement that sup
ported Mayer Weaver 10 his campaign.
The following are extracts from
Gov. Folks address:
Every law looks blue 70 the man

The trust magnate defies the laws Of
the state against combinations and
monopolies and then calls for the pro-
lection of the state for his property.
The dramshop keeper wants the law
enforced against the man who robs his
cash drawer, but thinks be has right
to break the law requiring bis saloon
to close on Sunday. The burglar de-
tests the lawbreaking Of the trust,
but considers the statute against house
breaking as an interference with bis
personal liberty.
This civic awakening to the neces-
sity of stamping out the things OF dis
honor in public life does not indicate
moral degeneration, but a moral re-
generation.
Even now wealth is not worshiped
with the same devotion 1t used to be-
and the idea is toget right rather than
to get rich.
Political parties are beginning tt
llearn that honesty is after all the best
politics. The people will no longer re

party names.
