OPERATION FOR CANCER
Local Surgeons Cut Away Part ot
Hazel Fox's Upper Jaw

An unusual and difficult
operation was performed here
on Wednesday by Doctors Mac
Kay and johnson, when they
cut away large portion of the
upper jaw of Hazel, the eight
year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Fox of this city.
The little one was afflicted
with cancerous growth at
tacking the bone. A large sec
tion of the jaw together with
the bones extending upwards
behind the nose were removed
without disfiguring the extern
al parts of the face. The little
patient stood the operation
we'll and there is reason to hope
that a cure has been effected.

work of the Judges was ex-

on account of the fact that com

Representatives Of Farmers Elevaiors
to Hold Conference
BETTER METHODS NECESSARY
Corporation Believed to bo 8olu-
tions OF the Difficulties
Encountered

III the nanQl1n& OF FARMERS
elevators is attracting a good
deal of attention in this county.
This question was ably discuss
ed by Arthur H. White in an
article which appeared in this
paper on April 19 of this year.
Later it was taken up by Will
liam NJ. Martin of Maxbass and
a preliminary meeting was held
here last week. Now a general
meeting is to be held at One
NEE on July 81. Mr.. Martins
letter announcing the meeting
appears below, is self-explanat-
ory and should induce every
farmers elevator company to
send a representative to the
meeting. Mr.. Martin says:
Growing out of a meeting of
those interested in farmers
elevators which was held in
Bottineau during the last week,
there has been a meeting
designated to be held at One
NEE on Wednesday, July 31st,
for the further discussion and
fra ming up of the problems
that were presented at the
original meeting. Each farmers
elevator association in and
around the Mouse River Loop
is requested to send at least
one party with power to act
and to represent them at said
meeting.
The object of said meeting is
to devise ways and means of
combination of the mutual in-
terests of farmers elevators,
that expenses may be reduced
to the minimum, and that rea-
sonable profits may be earned
for the capital that is invested
in farmers elevators.
To do this needs business
judgment and an exercise of
some guiding authority. A
business that is continually
losing is dying business, and
a farmers elevator that each
year incurs a loss that is neces-
sary to make a call upon the
owners of the capital stock to
make good, is simply assessing
the stockholders for the benefit
of the community.
Profits come from the in.
crease of the selling price over
that of the purchase price,
when there is no more realized
in margin than cost and ex-
pense.there is no profit.
If the farmers elevator busi-
ness is to be a living business
and one that will stand up year
after year, it must to a small
degree at least be a profitable
business, there should each
year be laid aside a small re-
serve of profits to cover the
possible lean years that may
come, and surely will come.
Combination for the purpose
of securing greater safety and
stability. and for the cutting
off of uncalled for expense is
the key note of corporate sue
cess. Why should the farmers
organizations not proceed along
the same lines7
The proper method of selling
their purchases, the proper
margin upon which to buy, the
proper and careful checking up
of accounts, the proper curtail-
ment of expense along all
lines, these are some of the
questions that may be brought
up at this meeting. See that
your elevator company is re-
presented at this meeting.
