is move on foot to establish a can

market can be found. This move is
being fostered by local firm and
seems to meet with the approval of
8 majority of the farmers in this Sec
tioD. 1t is reported that $500 of thu
stock has been subscribed. According
to plans, $4,000 is needed to equip a

that by a system of cooperation this
amount can be raised without any
trouble. There was meeting held

no cards were on the table, and that
no money was being passed at any
time.
Policemen Beverly and Buchanan

lin progress in a house on Farley

cards raked from the table, and saw
several Of the men grab for the
money. One of the men admitted that
