So.
4 shareholder is entitled TO only
one vote. In 10 months los shares
were issued, which put $525 in the
Il leasury. The Jewish agricultural
and industrial aid society loaned the
credit union $1,000 at very low rate
of interest.
Loans are granted 10 meet current
needs and expenses, and as most of
the members are tobacco growers,
they find it necessary To borrow mon
ey in anticipation Of the sale OF their
crop. The maximum loan is 800 for
six months,
During the first ten months in

Paul Rose of Frankfort, Strick.

Indiana.

Dispatches from Benton Harbor
state that Paul Rose OF Frankfort, is
suffering from stroke OF paralysis at
the home Of sister east OF that city.
Physicians say that while his coudi-
tion is very serious he stands a good
fighting chance for recovery.
Paul Rose is one Of the leading
fruit growers Of northwestern Michi-
igan and in fact has acquired na-
tional reputation. He is prominently
identified with the Michigan hortlcul-
tural society and as an exponent of
scientific fruit growing has done
much work for the Michigan Agricul-
tural college, He is frequent
speaker ut state meetings of fruit
growers.
The great Rose fruit farm. two
miles southeast Of Frankfort. is one
OF the best known in the state. Mr..
Rose began the cultivation OF it nine.
teen years ago. and it now embraces
500 acres.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Rose went to
Mitchell. Ind with his wife TO visit
his orchard and iJ was there that he
was stricken three or four days ago.
AS soon as he had recuperated from
the first shock OF the attack he was
brought here by Mrs. Rose, arriving
Saturday night.
Since coming TO his sisters home
the doctors say that he is showing
slow but continual improvement and
his conoiLion today is reported to be
more favorable than it has at any
time since he was attacked.

The hrst and greatest Of these is
to get the right bag, which Is made
specially for cooking, is parafned,

sanitary and to be had In sizes big
enough to hold a Thanksgiving tur-
key, or tiny enough for a single chop.
Next, nearly as important, Is to
grease the bag inside literally. using
butter, lard, OIL drippings or a very
fat rind Of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what 1t Is destined to hold The

Finally, 1t is important to remem-

There can be no stirring or tossing

Nor must bag be opened at any

length of overhead track of about a
