Cooperation Directors Want Their
Rights and Usually Get Them.
A large corporation held q directors
meeting a few days ago. As the meet.
ing was coming to a close one OF the
directors, reputed to be worth $4,000,
600, ran in all out of breath. Just as
he entered the other directors were
making their exit. says the Hartford
CouraGt
Look here" the incoming director
shouted to the chairman. Il want to
know why | haven't received notice Of
this meeting"
II am sure I don't know" the chair
man said Notices were sent TO all
directors. You surely must have re
ceived one"
The director finished up nm excited
TRADE by saying. II want my rights.I
Just then the secretary was brought
into conference, who in turn handed
the late director an envelope. He de-
parted with a smiling countenance.
This recalls the story of New York
corporation where $50 for each director
was laid on the table and those who
attended divided the whole pile. II
half came each got $40, The members
were inen far advanced in years and
IN riches. One day II stormed violently
when a meeting was to be held. The
executive officers did not believe a
single director would be there. bni

would appear and that he might swipt

TOOMSBORO, Ca, March 4.-The edu-

miles below Gordon. and also in Wilxin-
son county, a little before II o'clock
Saturday morning. and was given a
rousing reception by more than five hum
dred people, nearly half Of whom were
farmers. AS many as could find room
climbed to the top of freight car
standing opposite the platform car or the
speakers and leaned forward with eager
interest to catch every word.
The chickens and the hogs caught the
farmers attention especially. They ship
more poultry, eggs and pork from this
town than from any of it's size on this
division of the Central railroad. Most
of the farmers have quit letting their
hogs run wild and feeding them care
fully. They have learned that 1t Is
wasteful to let the hogs have whole
range in which to shift for themselves.
Next to chickens and, hogs, soil talk
came next in interest. A few miles be-
low here a stock company has bought
1000 acres of wild bottom land and Is
spending more than a quarter Of mil
lion dollars building levees. Half OF 1t
is ready for cultivation this year.

5000 FARMERS MEET
SPECIAL At TENMLLE
One of Biggest Crowds in His
tory of Town Attended
Farm College Saturday

TENNILLE, Ca, March 4.-The larg-
est crowd the town OF Tennille has seen
In a long time was gathered at the
depot Saturday afternoon to meet ana
welcome the agricultural train. 1t con-
sisted OF practically the entire local
population and a most representative ar
ray Of Washington county farmers. The
stores closed while the train was in
town, the school children were present
practically in a body, and for host
OF others It was somewhat of gala oc-
casion.
An hands on the train were looking
for a big crowd here. but IL exceeded
their expectations. More than 5000 peo-
pie was the conservative estimate. Be-
ing a junction point of several railroads.
Tennille has several trains in the yards
all the time and this made 1t rather
troublesome to find a track for park
ing the agricultural outfit but after
much switching IT was finally stopped
at an ideal location where the crowd
had a wide level space directly in front
OF the platform cars. They could hear
distinctly and had no trouble in seeing
the live stock exhibit.
In point OF interest, in speeches and
exhibits, the stop here was simply a
repetition OF the reception 1t has re-
cefved at so many other places. The
farmers constituted a big portion of the
crowd and showed Enthusiastically by the
expression on their faces, by the close
attention they gave to the speeches,
and by the keen questions they asked,
that they had not come idly, but with
an eager desire to get ell the benefit
possible from what they saw and heard.
II would be hard to say which they
showed most interest in-the soil talk,
the live stock talk. the poultry talk, or
the exhibits in general. They drank 1t
all in, and reluctantly parted with the
train at leaving time.
The members Of the committee We're
