NARY FARM CLUB
TO BUILD CREAMERY
Meeting Held at Home of President
Saturday-Plans Discussed--Share
On Basis of Number of Cows.

The Nary Farmers club held its
regular monthly meeting at the home
of the president, Christian Heines,

tive creamery. Mr.. Gillette stated

easily be accomplished. He will back
the proposition with twenty cows.

rural mail routes and completion Of
a telephone line. The farmers want
a daily mail service and will make
every effort to secure it before the
winter months. Many have their
poles set out along their property
