Management.
Frank Morley of Baraboo town was
elected president of the new company
With e. r. Thomas of Fairfield,
treasurer. There is also a board of
directors consisting of R. V0ll, Frank
Thomas, Paul Neitzel. e. Langdon
and IL. A. Hill. Mr.. Towle, who has
given general satisfaction for several
years with the old Excelsior company
has been employed as secretary and
general manager. John Miller, who
is a graduate of theWisconsin Dairy
school and holds several diplomas OF
excellence in the manufacture of
butter, has been employed as butter

Stock.
William Shale, George McGilvrs
and George Hanson have been ap-
pointed to sell the stock which is
worth $40 per share and will draw a
dividend of SO. Not more than ten
shares will be sold to one person.
This is farmers enterprise and it
should be financed, operated and con-
trolled by them if possible. However
the business men of the city are will
ing to take some of this stock if nee
cessary. If every farmer tributary
to the Excelsior creamery would buy
one or more shares and do his best TO
make it win, realizing that it was his
business, we would soon have one
of the best creameries in the state and
other much needed corporations
would soon follow.

She contentedly played the part OF
