AS SOME FARMERS ARGUE
Expert Exposes Fallacy of Reasoning
that 1t Pays to Ship Cream Away
from Local Creamery


Prof. N. f. Nelson, Minnesota
Agricultural Department, knows
about as much of the creamery
situation of that state as any one
and he is strong advocate of the
local creamerles. Prof. Nelson
gives some good advice. The fol-
lowing is from his pen:
81 ship my cream because | get more
for it that way"
81 don't want to patronize the local
creamery because it is owned largely by
business men of the town."
"lf | patronize the local creamery.
help to support an institution which is not
necessary"
That rascally neighbor of mine has a
share in the creamery, and will not put
money in his pockets at the expense Of
my own
81 get the cash for my cream when |
ship it."
These are some Of the answers express
ed and implied when farmers are ques-
toned concerning the shipping of cream.
Concerning the first reason. you can
put this down, Mr.. Farmer. that it is to
the interest of the centralized creameries
mot you) that the cooperative creamery
be starved to death.
Then again, when you say you get more
for your cream when you ship it. you ac-
cept the statement of somebody else as a
fact without proof. Know what you have
coming. and than insist on that. This you
never will know unless you carefully
weigh and test your cream. The local
creamery man will do that for you under
your supervision II the cream is sold at
the creamery.
Then again. if it is fact that you get
cent more for your butterfat when you
| ship it, it is because somewhere in this
part of the country some other shortsight-
ed farmer is now getting three cents less
for his cream than when there was a CO.
operative creamery in his community.
These statements are facts, and for eyi-
dence refer to any locality where the
creamery has been forced out Of business.
The farmers in these localities are now
at the mercy Of the centralizers. No one
can deny that the CO. operative creameries
are responsible for placing thousands of
dollars annually in the pockets of dairy
men. which they would never get without
cooperative associations. This statement
is proved by conditions IN other states,
where the net price paid to the dairymen
for butterfat is as much as ten cents per
pound lower than the price received by
dairymen from many cooperative cream
cries. This difference is due to the pre-
valence of cooperation and to the fact
that the control of the dairy business is
in the hands of the dairymen themselves
1t is to be expected that the interests
which are responsible for the low prices
paid for dairy products in the southern
states will put forth every effort to place
Minnesota in the same class; by destroy
ing CO. operation, they have as fertile a
field for their operation as any state could
offer. The farmer himself is the one who
can preserve the present satisfactory
conditions.

AFTERMATH of
VALLEY FAIR
A New Record Set for Our
Big Festival
EXCELLED ALL OTHERS
IN QUALITY OF EXHIBITS
Attendance on Watermelon Day was
Several Thousand Larger than
Ever Before

The total gate and grand
stand receipts for the silver
anniversary of the Arkansas
Valley Fair were S9,769.20.
The receipts for Watermelon
Day were larger than those
of last year-the former big
yearly S95O.75, but the
two first fair days fell a little
short, SO that the increase
over last year will not ex-
ceed $500.
The big watermelon pile
this year represented total
outlay of Sl,592. This sum
adds emphasis to the fact
that the people of Rocky
Ford do not consider the
cost when it comes to keep
ing up the reputation of our
famous festival.
The attendance for the
four days was as follows:
Tuesday .--5 1902
Wednesday --------4.z64
Thursday ----le.54l
Friday ay-----5. 5.348
Payment of premiums to
the fortunate eXhibitsrs is
now under way and Secre-
tary Pollock and corps of as
sistants are being kept SO
busy that it will be impos-
sible to give a detailed state
ment of receipts and expen-
ses for several days, but the
secretary gives assurance
that there will be a sufficient
surplus this year to Justify
the statement that the 1916
fair was the most successful
that has been held.

CARRIGAN MAY
 BE BACK AT HELM
Murnane Talks to William, Who
 May Change His Mind

Lewiston, Me, Dec. 6-After spend . ing almost a full. day in the company of Fill Carrigan at his home here, IT. H. Murnane is convinced that he will consent to manage the Boston Red Sox for at least one more season and feels sure that this statement will hailed with delight by every well v.isher of the champions.
 The securing of Carrtgan will be wholly up to the new club owners, Messrs. Frazee and Ward, who have gone on record as saying that they will do everything in their power to induce this great manager to lend a helping hand to keep the Red Sox the same old fighting machine.
 Bill Carrigans friends in Lewiston have advised him to stick to the Red Sox for few more years, for they figure that he can settle down in the old homestead later on.
 Perhaps the Lewiston fans are bit selfish and feel the great success that Manager Bill has met with has thriving city
 "Is there a chance that you would listen to the new owners to return? ?" MT. Carrigan was asked.
 ''They might work on my sympathy to help them out for a year." replied Carrigan. "but that would be the linn 1t, as I really want to retire to home life. I do not care to see the old club suffer, however"
 He was asked: Then you will be with us in the spring."
 Bill smiled and said: TT don't think I will"
 This seems to me to put it up to the new owners. It would be a good stroke to have one of basebalps greatest managers at the helm, for Boston wants the best that can be se- cured. --

HOW BROWNS FOOT SLIPPED.
Colgate Game Substituted on the
 Schedule for Columbia.

Providence, R. T.. Dec. Glad the Brown football schedule for 1916 been drafted according to tentative plans, undergraduates here feel certain that Coach Robinson's eleven and not the Pittsburgh team would have attained the Eastern championship of this past season. On the original draft Colum- bia was to have been Browns oppon- ent Aor the last game Of the year. on Thanksgiving Day, instead of Colgate. Negotiations had been pending be- tween Dr. Fred w. Marvel, in charge of athletics at the local university, and Dr. George l.. May1an, head of the de- partment of physical education at Columbia and arrangements had been virtually completed when Colgate was substituted for Colum bia because of Coach Bankart's willingness to play at Providence whereas the olumbia, au- thOrities insisted in the game being staged in New York city.
 Last year Colum bias record of five victories and no defeats seemed to give the Light Blue and White eleven a position comparable with that of the Brunonians on the gridiron and as the New Workers were desirous of including stronger teams on their schedule the arrangemen with Brown seemed ideal. However, as it turned out, Columbia was clearly outclassed this fall in football and there is little doubt in the minds of Providence un- dergraduates that the proposed game in New York would have resulted in a Brown victory by an ad infinitum score

COLGATE AFTER PENN.
Army and Navy Also Want to Go on
 Quakcqs' Schedule

Philadelphia, Dec 6.--Although the Penn football schedule will not be an- nounced until after the election of the new captain and manager, it was learned from a reliable source yester- day that a number of big colleges are negotiating with the athletic commit tee with view of securing at least one or more important dates on the Penn schedule.
 The most important of these is said to be Colgate, which wants to play on Franklin Field. This season Colgate ranked with the best teams of the East. Another university that is anxious to enter into athletic rela- tions with Penn is California; which Andy Smith is coaching. California will take on Penn in San Francisco or come East and play at Fra Field it is said on good authority.
 It is also known that the Army and Navy would each like 70 get two- year arrangement with Penn

BASEBALL MOGULS

American ASSO. to Recommend
 Salary and Roster Reduction

New York, Dec. 6.-The annual meeting of the American Associstioa in Indianapolis next Friday will bs followed with unusual Interest bj fandom at large. Critics believe thS general attitude of organized baseball toward certain vexing problems tha, have cropped out of late may be rel f1ected in certain legislation by thia ! powerful Class A circuit.
 Hints dropped by Ban Johnson arij others presage an attempt of thl owners to economize in salary ex1 penses through the 1917 campaign On the best of authority it has beej learned that the association clul owners intend to adopt low salar, limit and a low club roster limit, tod This step was taken by the Tnterna tiona league a year ago, with goo' result. Otherwise the Barrow circui might not have been able to weathe the storm.
 The American Association h4T m salary limit last season. As 3, conse quence a great many of the maid league discards were harbored thert This was an avenue which the biI fellows used in unloading the worn out possessors of ironclad contracts.
 Ed Sweeney Is an illustration. Fl, was under an enormous salary to th' Yankees. They peddled him to sTo ledo, glad to pay all but somethini
 like s1,500 of his salary. Tn short tn American Association. with a salaE list almost equal to the majors, stooi as a refutation of the claim that tfl

A readjustment ins~th l Class AA league commanded by Ton l Chivington should pave the way fo l economical reform at the annua 1 meetings of the National and Amerl 1 can leagues.

TURNS DARTMOUTH DOWN.
w. and J. Unable to Accept Invita-
 tion for Football Contest.

Washington, Penn, Dec. 6.-Grad- uate Manager R. M Murphy of the Washington and Jefferson College football eleven, announced yesterday that he had been unable to accept an offer of @ game from Dartm outh Col lege of Hanover, N. H., for Oct. 20, 1917. the contest to be played on the Greens grid1ron.
 The chief reason for the turning down of the Dartmouth offer was that one of the important games on the home schedule of the Washington and Jefferson team has practically been closed for that date. Man ager Murphys schedule for the re- mainder of next year is also so ar ranged that it would be impossible for the Red and Black eleven to make the long jump from Washington to New Hampshire.

LEAGUE LEADERS WIN
Live Oaks Hold a Practice Session With the Rangers Acting as the Victim-Brenneckc Shines.

Hitting their early season stride, the
 Live Oaks leaders in the City league,
 doWned the Rangers in straight
 games at the Aetna alleys last eve
 ming. In accomplishing the feat, the
 victors did not have a cinch, for the boys from the Sand Banks gave them a hard fight throughout the old Live
 Oak luck being in evidence. Thomp- son was the star performer of the match and through his steady bowling the winners chances were greatly enhanced. In no game of the three rolled, did Tommy fall below the century mark, and at the end of thei match the statistics showed that 315 had been tota1ed by this boy. Cage who was high single score man was also second for total honors with 3O4. on the winners side. Mike HauTh and Bill Kahms featured. the play for the quintet that didn't win.
 The Wanderers who have been travelling at a fast clip for several weeks, continued along the path last evening, beating the South Ends two out of three games. Bill Brennecke famed about the Church street lanes for his voca bulary in favor of the Teu- tonic forces now engaged in that ferocious pastime on the other side, forgot the kaiser long enough last evening to turn in the following scores in the match: 123, 94 and 121 Not so bad for Dutchman, eh? Larson and Anderson. Yin and Yin,'' also hit the wood in fine fashion.
 The D. ITS of the A. P. G. league took the AllAmerican quintet of the same league into camp, winning two out of three games. The scores fol- low:

Boston, Mass, Dec. 6.-Walter Wheeler, left tackle of the Harvard varsity football team. is looming up strongly for the captaincy of the team.

SEES PEACE FAR OFF
Berlin Vorwarts Says Germany's Enc mics Are Too Deeply Pledged to Bring War to End.

Amsterdam, Dec. 6, via London. $40 a. m.-The Berlin Vorwarts, the organ of the German specialists, in an article headed peace blind", throws cold water on those who believe that peace is near. The paper says:
 We must be reconciled to the bit ter truth that our enemies are too deeply pledged to their war aims to see anything else. They are peace blind. The worst calamities are not to be spared the European people but one consolation remains and that is that harsh rulers do not rule for long. When even their strong men do not achieve anything our enemies do not admit their failure"

A good part of Yale's success in earlier football days was credited to Yale courage. Another case of bunk. Was the student body at Yale from 1912 to 1916 any less courageous. as individuals, than the student bodies of other years? Probably not a bit. Yale won from 1900 to 1908 because she had the material and the system. Yale lost from 1912 through 1915 not because her courage ran out but be- cause her material and her systems sagged together
 Before 1910 Yale had her Shevlins, Coys Kilpa atricks, Hogans, etc. And Yale had the system to help carry these along. After 1910 Harvard had her Brickleys, Mahan's, Pennocks, Hardwicks, etc., plus the system, to crush Yale to earth. Not because Yale had less courage, but because Yale had less stuff to win with.

 The case was that of Bob Moha Of Milwaukee, who lost his suit against the Hudson Boxing club of Hudson, Wis, to recover his share of the guar antee of a boxing contest with Mike Gibbons. The bout was stopped on &C., count of a foul committed by MOha.
 Justice Winslow who wrote the opinion says:
