Effort Being Made
+. to Get Condensery
Company Asks No Bonus of
County-Want Cows
Guaranteed

A systematic and businesslike ef-
fort is being made to land milk
condensing factory for this coun-
ty and Ira B. Coy is in correspondence
with company, but there is little
yet that has taken shape for publica-
tion. The company does not ask
bonus nor does IL even ask for tract
OF ground on which to erect plant.
All that is asked Of the farmers Is a
guarantee OF sufficient number OF
cows to keep the plant supplied and
the company will pay for everything
it gets.
1t will require at least 700 cows as a
guarantee. There are that number
In the county now but they are kept
mainly for domestic use. The Borden
company, which has its plant at La
mar In operation, is paying two cents
per pound for the milk aud 1t will run
at about that price the year round.
1t may be, however, that in the sea-
son OF the year when the milk is not
so rich with cream the price would be
slightly lower. The company does
not buy cream, nor, butter fat. The
milk just as it comes is purchased at
this price per pound. There is about
eight and third pounds to the gallon,
thus 1t will be seen that the milk de-
livered to the condensery will bring
the dairymen over sixteen cents per
gallon.

be OF the most substantial kind OF
manufacturing establishments and
should one be located. it would be as
regular in operation as any business
could be. There would be no seasons
OF the year when clOse-dOwn is
brought on; it will be most steady
market source with steady weekly
pay roll. Those who advocate such n
plant are not considering the payroll
that IL will bring, but the market for
milk that it will create.

densery, however, a more united cf-
fort will have to be made, as other

Surrounded by little band Of faith

lowing different lines Of research and
cropping through the dark towards the

the world that the incandescent cleo
trio lamp had been found. Bamboo
was selected for the tiny hair-like
lamp filament and the tropical world
was searched for the different kinds
of bamboo in order that the best
might be selected. For the next eight
years the lamps were made with BAN
boo filaments. after which squfrted
cellulose filament was used until the
"metalized'' filaments took their
place in few years later. The mod

lamp was produced in 1906 and the
first Mazda lamp in 1912, which is the

1.-The stock exchange has ceased

concern" said Perkins. TT is the
great market of the world. Attacks
made on it in recent years have shak-
en- public confidence and the only way
to restore that confidence Is to place
the exchange under national control
Now is the time to do it and steps
toward that end should be taken I'M
mediately. Personally, would like to
see If under federal supervision, out
if we are not ready togo that far.
the state should do It, In place OF
this being handicap to the exchange.
1t would be a great benefit and dis
tinct advantage and protection to pur-
chasers of securities. AS for any talk
about the stock exchange not being
necessity because we have got along
for couple Of months without 1t. that
is sheer nonsense. The stock ex-
change is as much a necessity as the
banks. We could live without either
but how would we Hye?"
