EP1TAPH FOR AN OK.

A valued friend of the editor of
The Holly Chieftain sends us the
following, the truth of which falls
with the weight of a bludgeon
It's not much for man to say
he has never had an enemy. 1t
would be appropriate in an essay OH
mush or panegyric on putty, 1t
makes a first class epitaph above
the grave Of an OK. If you never
did anything to make anybody
mad at you you have been called
man through courtesy. You
should apply for a place as dummy
in a window of clothing store
where the "speer" works overtime
cndeavoring to collide with the
pay-envelope.
Well leave it to the reader to say
whether or not it is the truth.

The LOCAL CREAMERY
Inspector Geo. L. Austin Asks the
Farmers Some Pertinent
Questions

SAUK CENTRE. Jan. 81 Having been
in Sank Centre several times since |
was appointed creamery Inspector for
this district, | have become fairly
acquainted with conditions i'm this
vicinity regarding dairying. What !
| wish to call attention to at this time
more particularly is the fact that
considerable cream is being shipped
to the centraliZers. Now. when YOU
look at it In the right light, does it
not seem ridiculous that the farmers
will ship their cream to the trust to
be made into butter when they have
an institution right here of their own
for that purpose? Who pays the sal
aries of these cream buyers and the
| express on the cream and the profits
| to the centraliZers? 1t comes out OF
the cream. of course. The farmers
pay it ALL When YOU have your pro-
duct made up at your own co-Opera-
tive creamery you get all there is in
it. and when you ship it you pay the
buyers a profit. The express com
panieS and also the centraliZers made
a nice profit out of it. too. as they are
not in the business for nothing.
The only logical way to handle
cream is through the local creamery.
Then YOU ask. why are the central
iZers in the game. Simply to freeze
out all the local creameries and get
the creamery business in the hands
of a trust. Every time you ship Il
can of cream you do just that much
to help them accomplish this.
Farmers. patronize your loca /
creamery and help the Minnesota
Dairy and Food Department to pre-
vent formation Of creamery trust.
One centraliZer is paying 30 cents ut
Osakis and :}3 cents here in Sank
Centre. Is that square business? ii
the fat is worth % cents at Osaki>
why is it not worth that price in
Sank Centre? This discrimination in
prices is just another scheme Of the
centralizers to freeze out the local
and farmers creameeries. Don't fan
into their trap.
