Seventy or eighty persons gathered
at the council room Monday to hear the
trial of Martin Rush and Charles SWEET

Why not call a meeting and try to get
our farmers interested in the cannery
movement. Cooperation is the most es-
sential thing. 1t stands to reason that
with the enlightened class Of farmers
that we have in this vicinity they will
grasp the situation Immediately and
things would go right along. Of course
they understand that it would not iusti-
fly people putting lot of money into
an enterprise if they could not derive
any benefit from It, neither would it
justify the farmer to plant acres into
things only to find there was no market.
We heard someone mention in store
full Of people the other evening that
people around here had been used to 70
or 50 cents a bushel for tomatoes,
whereas they would not get near that
amount at cannery. Now we would
say planting in garden, or cultlVating
a truck patch is two widely different
things and when working ina wholesale
way of course they would be cheaper.
The farmer is the man himself to take
hold Of this enterprise and reap the ben
etits from both ends.
A festival will be held in g week or so
by the ladies' of our town, the proceeds

an interest in our cemetery and beautlfy
it in every way possible.
