The COOPERATIVE CREAMERY

l received some time ago three maps
OF Iowa. The first map represented
creameries in that state ten years ago.
A black dot represented the location of
each creamery and this map was
nearly a big black spot. The second
map was five years later and the dots
were thinned out very much in certain
localities, showing that many creameries
were out OF existence at that time. The
third map was again very heavily speck-
ed with dots, demonstrating the fact
that through the special efforts of the
officials connected with this line of work,
the farmer has been taught that more
money Is made yearly through his dairy
COWS than through any other source,
and it is the desire of the farmers as we'll
as the officers to make Iowa a great
dairy state. My idea is not how many
creameries we can have but how many
successful creameries. 1t is far better
to have n creamery fourteen miles
from its neighbor, thus giving each a
seven mile territory each way, than
so thickly located that each one
receives barely enough cream for it's
existance. The reason for co-opera-
tive creameries failing after a year or SO
is the small number of COWS in their i'm
mediate vicinity. Many creameries are
started with the promise of about 1000
COWS. But when they get under way
and take invoice Of the actual number
OF cows tributary to the factory they
are like some of the politicians who
canvas the county for votes and every
voter promises to vote for him, but when
election is over he ZONES to the con-
~clusion that some one lied. The farmers

the power of Office is behind them, and
with tact, they could combine these
two for the welfare of the community
they control. 1t often seems that
health officers do just as much or just
as little as public opinion forces them
to do. Proper appointments in public
health offices will bring about more
progress than any other one thing.
If this is the solution, then it rests
with the governors and the mayors
who make the appointments to the
health Offices"
The public must continue it's demand
for competent appointments. Volun-

er, and some day everything the law
allows will be done to stop loss Of life.

Plans to Prevent Accidents.


The prevention of accidents on the
streets Of Omaha, Neb., was the watch
word at the last meeting Of the fire
and police board. A communication
was received from the Commercial
club asking that some action be taken
in regard to persons crowding out on
the street while waiting for street cars.
It was suggested by the Commercial
club that the people be kept back to
the curb until the car comes to q stop.
To do this it was proposed at the meet
ing that the matter be taken up with
the street railway company to see if it
was possible to have the cars stop at
every corner in the congested parts Of
the city.
Some talk was had on the PROPOSE
ton Of having street cars stop on the
near side of the corners, but no action
was taken. 1t was suggested that po-
licemen at the intersections in the
business district of the city be supplied
with whistles. one blast Of the whistle
by the officer to give teams and auto
mobiles and two blasts to give the
street cars the right Of way. In the
future more stress will be put on the
order recently issued by Chief of Pc
lice Donahue making it compulsory for
pedestrians to turn at right angles on
street corners and not cut diagonally

spirit of cooperation the better will
their conditions be. We must admit
the local creameries are producing the
best butter in the world. And that
they are the only kind Of creameries for
the dairymen as we'll as for the CON
sumers of butter. There is no denying
the fact that they are the most active
and most progressive factor we have
ever had in the development OF dairying
and rural business activities. There is
scarcely a village or farming community
in North Dakota or other states but
what owes a deep debt of gratitude to
the local creamery.

but as a rule the new organization has a
or amery on its hands doing barely
enough in the flush of the season to
exist, and the promoter has left with
from $1,000 to $4,000 in his pocket. AS
a general rule the board of directors for
a farmers cooperative creamery is com-
posed of farmers located in different
parts of their territory. These men
while successful in their line of farming
and know all the points of farming from
a business Standpoint. are not versed on
running a creamery siccessfully, often
times through their rulings as directors
the management Of the creamery is
powerless to go ahead and build that
local creamery up to what it is capable
OF doing. The result is that it gets into
a rut and sticks there until some
centralizer succeeds in putting that dot
off the map and everytime a centralizer
causes the erasing of one of these dots
he not only adds to his bank account
but also starts to look up another dot
that Is in the rut. I am not condemning
the centralizers in their action, as it IS
a business proposition for them. But
there Is no reason why a cooperative
creamery should be so slack as to let a
a centrailzer secure a foot hold in their
territory. What is needed mostly at all
times is a cooperation spirit among our

About the biggest condemnation pro-
ceeding in the history Of Cincinnati
is to be taken soon by the park COM
m%issioners through the city solicitors
Office, and when completed citizens
desiring to take a bath in the Ohio
river at a regular bathing beach will
be able to do so under municipal con
troll.
The property sought by the city is
generally known as Turkey ridge. in
the east end. The city intends to take
in all the realty on Eastern avenue
between Delta avenue and Congress
street and thence w~estwardly along
the river to within q square of the
Cincinnati gymnasium quarters. It'is
estimated that there are at least $50
owners in this section, and efforts will
be made to secure settlements on their
respective holdings whenever possible
without court proceedings. 1t is under
stood the park board will erect bathing
houses along the river front, and a
nominal charge will be made for the
use of a room for the storage Of
clothes and a bathing suit.
The location is regarded as being
ideal, since people living in the eastern
and northern suburbs will be able to
reach the park by way of the Delta
avenue car line. which connects with
those in Hyde park and Madisonville

The question "Who was the bravest

the most dramatic encounters in the
history Of battles and warfare. There
was one little corner on the field of
Waterfowl gateway-to which Wei
lington attached the greatest impor-
lance. The Iron Duke. in fact, consid-
cred it the strategic key to the situa-
ton. To the end that Napoleon should
not be able to drive him back from it
Wellington detailed Lieutenant Colonel
Sir James Macdonell, a gigantic high
lander. and the Coldstream guards to
hold the gate. The wisdom of his
choice may be see in what followed.
More desperate struggle has probably
occurred on battlefield than the
