Considerable progress has been
made recently in interesting farmers
in contracting for the Van Camp Pack
ing company condensing plant which
will be erected in Watertown, provid-
ing assurance Of enough milk is given
to keep the plant IN continuous opera
lion, the necessary number of cows
being 1000. A very good showing
was made yesterday and the indications
are that the number will be reached.
Some effective work was done yester-
day. Three of the committee which
visited the company's plant at Wau-
seon were out and did a good stroke of
business. Frank G. Lehman of rural
route No. contracted for 120 cows.
Andrew Hertel and Simon Molzahn
for 200 and Fred Bittner Sc. This
gives total now of about l, 600. Re-
representatives. of the Van Camp concern
will be here Saturday. What decision
they will reach is not known but the
chances are they will extend the time
for closing contracts and give Water
town another chance. There is no
question but that the necessary number
of cows can be contracted for and
possibly by the time the represent
atives arrive. There seems to be a
change in sentiment among the farm
ers and many who were at first
little skeptical are now beginning to
realize the benefits such al institution
would be to them and are therefore
more ready to append their names to
the contracts. 1t is certainly d rare
chance to land an industry that will
he of mutual benefit to the farmers
and townspeople and it is the prayer of
The Leader that the effort will prove
successful one. The prices offered
is an argument that is taking hold
among the farmers and they are fast
beginning to realize that this Will
have tendency to greatly increase
their revenue.

WILL THE FARMERS
GRASP OPPORTUNITY
MILK CONDENSING FACTORY
BOUND TO COME,
But Why Delay Several Years and
Lose Thousands of Dollars
Nothing Like it to Increase Their
Bank ACCOMPLISHMENTS the
Fertility of Farms and Increases
the Price of Lands.

The work of soliciting contracts for
milk for the Van Camp condensing
company's plant is progressing nicely,
Notwithstanding the fact that local
canvasslng for contracts ON the
grounds that the immense benefits
accruelng to the farmers in this
vicinity from the location of this
plant here are so apparent and so
selt-evIdent to every progressive
farmer that he should take it upon
himself to call personally on the
Advancement ssocation, sign a
contract and take blanks with him
for his neighbors to sign. The returns
are so far above everything else in
the milk line that the farmer should
take no chances of losing this great
opportunity.
The farmers in the vicinity of the
West Road, always looking for an
Improvement of their condition, have
had excellent opportunity to study the
merits of this proposition and so
convinced are they that officers and
stockholders of this factory, which by
the way is the best paying factory
in this vicinity and the most prosper
Gus, one have constituted themselves
as committees and are out canvassing.
So enthusiastic are they that they
will cover the entire 9 sections in
that locality, and from reports they
are making clean sweep of it. Far
mers 6 miles out have signed contracts.
They know snap when it is offered
them, and do not merely go over the
surface of things sby comparing So
called leverage prices but get at
the actual results which show a net
gain Of rs per cent to SO one third
per cent on the 1906 returns from
their factory. If average" prices are
mentioned to them they simply say
average up the price On the four
heavy summer milk producing months
paid by the cheese factory with those
of the condensing The latter has got
the farmer beat by a mile, and it
must be remembered the West Road
cheese factory always paid the highest
ruling prices for milk.
d The very farmers, who are holding
back, thinking others will guarantee
sufficient milk, are the ones who will
kill this great opportunity, and they
will be just as great losers and just
as greatly disappointed as those that
step forward in a business like way
and help the thing along by their
signature. Do not have the mistaken
idea that the other fellows contract is
going to put this thing through any
way, but step forward and put your
shoulders to the wheel and reap some
OF the benefits. This factory can be
secured; prospects are good, but it
needs YOUR contracts, Mr.. Farmer.
So do not fail to come IN and sign.
From where Go you suppose the
money COMES for the past ten years
and more to pay the farmers such
fancy prices for their cows? from
the CONDENSING plants of the
country If they did not have these
plants is it probable such fancy prices
would be paid, and if these cows pay
them would they not pay much better
to the farmer here with a condensing
plant for his market? Most positively.
DO NOT MISsiTHIs. OPPORTUNITY.

COURT HALTS MUTUAL
RESERVE LIFE MEETING.
Po~licyholders' Committee Members Say
Management Wants to Unload
Big Deficiency.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Judge Ward, OF
the United States Circuit Court, has
handed down an order enjoining the Of
ficers of the Mutual Reserve Life Insur-
ance Company from holding the already
twice adjourned meeting for amending the
company's bylaws without giving all policy
holders thirty days notice by mail. The
order is issued by Judge Ward on the
application of William Hepburn Russell,
counsel for James G. Robinson, who in
turn is a member of a policy holders COM
mittee. 1t practically continues a tenn
porary injunction issued early In Decem-
Der by United States Circuit Judge Hough.
The meeting was originally called by
President Haynes, of the Mutual Re-
serve Cor December 10, but was adjourned
until December "a and then until Decem-
Der 80, pending the courts Instructions.
The proposed amendments, Mr.. Russell
contends, would l~egalize liens amounting
to more than $1,000, 900. which had been
entered without authority against assess
ment policies, and would give the directors
power TO enter liens against policies for
any future obligations or deficiency.
The scheme is, Mr.. Russell maintains, to
allow the management to load the policy
holders with the company's alleged de-
ficiency of 81, 700. 900.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Dispatches to

trade, but there is an undertone of hope
fulness regarding the New Year, Boston
reports retail business smaller than a year
ago, especially in expensive merchandise.
Wholesale trade shows more than season.
able dulness. although there is confidence in
early recovery.
Textile plants restrict output and raw
wool Is dull. Philadelphia reports textile
manufacturing quiet, but activity is ex-
pected in the spring. Inquiries increase for
iron and steel, and payments are more
prompt.
Building work is light. but extensive
operations are under contemplation. job
bling business at Pittsburg is much re-
duced as usual during holiday week. but
there is a fair average retail trade. Recent
rains produced abundant water in the local
rivers, and shipments of coal are heavy.
Although money is tight and payments
slow. wholesale trade at Baltimore has
improved slightly. and straw hat factories
operate full capacity. Retail holiday trade
was light. and considerable stock will be
carried over. Retail trade at Louisville
has exceeded expectations, and a better
feeling prevails regarding next year, but
tanners are only doing half the business
Oh IL year dSU, anu tOllecllOIS are Sihl
slow.
Wholesale trade is quiet at ST. Louis,
but retail sales equal last years and COLI
lections are fair. Many mills have closed
until after January /. Retailers at
Kansas City had a heavier holiday trade
than last year, and country retailers in
that district also report an increase.
Chicago reports that Christmas trade in
some lines compared favorably with last
years, money was circulated freely despite
the stringency, and the use of clearing
house certificates steadily declines. Col
lections at Western points are not prompt,
but show improvement. At St. Paul trade
is seasonably quiet, but stocks are gen.
orally In good condition and advance sales
for spring of very satisfactory volume.
Holiday trade at Cleveland was active
during the closing days, but the aggregate
will compare u~nfavorably with last year,
and collections continue slow. Jobbers at
Minneapolis are busy with inventories
and customary year-end conditions prevail.
Retail holiday trade was heavy, but lum-
Der prices tend downward.
Holiday trade was normal at San Fran
cisco, the monetary stringency having lit
tie effect except as to collections, which
are slow. Weather conditions have been
unusually favorable for business and build
Ing operations.
