Farmers Take Notice

l herewith enclose you a copy
of letter signed by E. J. Terhaal
in regard to these cooperative
creamery propositions. 1t has
been quite extensively expert
enced in the states of Idaho and
Washington that a creamery can
not be successfully operated with
out at least 600 cows within a
radius of five miles. In saying
600 cows we mean cows that will
milk throughout the year. There
have been a number of so-called
cooperative creameries estab-
lished throughout Idaho n d
Washington. / can point out a
large number of towns where
creameries have never turned a
wheel. The Stockholders of a
proposed creamery should see
that the required number of cows
are pledged and signed up to sup
port the enterprise to make it a
success.
l will loan the money to the
creamery booster committee at
Z per cent to build a creamery,
and you farmers pledge to deliver
your cream to the creamery
committee as long as they pay
you the price and give you an
honest test.
You will probably remember
several years ago of a booster
selling California Eucalyptus tim
Der stock. Have those farmers
ever received anything for their
money? And you also remem-
Der how our local paper boosted
that kind of stock.
If creamery is a good paying
business why not let the boosters
build the creameries as long as
they can get the money at z per
cent on long terms.
T h e following cooperative
creameries have organized within
the last few years and are all
idle at the present time. These
creameries operated over various
periods, some for one year,
others for six months, one month
and many never turned a wheel:

Westlake, Idaho, Troy, Idaho,

VIM. Wagner.
Creamery promoters are at all
times in the field trying to or
ganize cooperative creameries
that have proven to the pubic
that they are not a success in the
west. Their promotion is simply
a money making proposition for
the machinery men to make a
big profit. I call your attention
to this because some few years
ago I was offered 100000 by one
of these promoters if I would go
into the field with him and help
organize a creamery on Camas

Beluian Konqo,

Belgian Kongo. founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage Of deyel-
opment. So far practically no manu-
featuring industries have yet been es-
tablished, and, aside from the impor-
tant copper mines in the Katanga dis
trict, the only large industrial enter
prises are the railways and river trans
portation services. It may be said that
all business activities in the colony are
devoted to the collection of tropical
products rubber. ivory, gum copal,
palm oil and kernels, cacao. etc.-and
the railway and river services are in
reality only accessories to these activi-
ties, having been established primarily
to aid in the transportation of these
products to the seaports. The gather
ing of rubber in Kongo has never re-
covered its former activity, and in all
probability will never again be so rich
a source Of income to the colony as ii
was previous to 1912.

10000. Soon after 100 the printed
form Of the ballad was changed. the

ballad continued as a chronicler Of hap

day perpetuates the satirical function

"Uncle Sam.h

The application Of the term Uncle
Sam" to the United States had its be-
ginning in Troy. N. Y, during the war
Of 1912. A commission contractor OF
Troy named Ebert Anderson had a
shop in which the stocks were always
examined and passed by government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as Uncle Sam"
When the boxes were passed they were
always marked with the initials of the
contractor and the nation, ''EA-US."
One day the man who was doing the
marketing was asked what the initials
stood for and replied jokfngly that they
were the initials of the contractor and
of Uncle Sam" The joke spread
among the men. got into print and long
before the end of the war had become
known all over the country. Mr.. VIII
son, the original Uncle Sam" died In

Shin Money,

Charles 1. was badly in need Of mon
ey, and his attorney general in the
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that in the dim ages Of the
past the crown had issued writs to the
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the royal
needs, and he suggested that this an
cient right might be brought into use
again. Instead Of the actual vessels a
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax larger part Of the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs
for ship money were accordingly is
sued, but the patriot John Hampden
declared that they were illegal and
raised such a protest against them
that they were practically nulliied-

Show Your Gratitude.

Gratitude is one of the prettiest
posies in the bouquet Of human virtues.
Cultivate it and 1t win bloom always.
Gratitude costs nothing, but repays
much, and yet 1t is gem Of character
that Is rare indeed.
Never forget the friend who threw
you the life line. To do that is treason
Of the rankest kind. Keep green In your
heart the memory Of every obligation
and lose no opportunity to repay it
Show your gratitude for a kind act
done you by doing kind act for some
one else.
A grateful THANK your for a seat In
a street car reimburses the man who
hangs to q strap. Silently accept the
seat as q matter of course and you
have started that man on the slide to
selfshness.
Kick out~of your selfish shell and ex-
press your gratitude on the least provo
cation. If you never give gratitude
never expect it. In proportion to your
gratitude so will you be graded by your
fellow men.-Boston Post

Thaekeray's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
