Moorhead Department
CREAMERY
HELD ANNUAL
MEETING
Stockholders Well Pleased
With Business Demand
For Buttermilk ~

The first annual meeting Of the Clay
County Creamery association was held
on Saturday afternoon and the follow
ing officers were elected: President,
Martin e. L. WIKI, Georgetown; vice
president. John H. Singer. Moorhead;
secretary, E. Saunders, Moorhead;
treasurer, H. e. Roberts, Moorhead;
directors: e. F. Krabbenhoft. Sabin;
Albert Carlson, Dilworth; Charles
Fossay, Moorhead; Louis Hansen,
FELTON,, and A. T. Grover, Glyndon.
Attendance of stockholders was
good considering the weather and all
were enthusiastic over the success Of
the enterprise. Business begun by the
new association on October 26th and
up to January 1, there had been made
$500 pounds of butter ond over $4,000
had been paid to stockholders for
cream. This is considered to be very
satisfactory. as the period covered is
the hardest part OF the year. There
are now signed up over 1000 cows and
the management is assured Of a stead
lily increasing business.
Demand for the by-product is one OF
the Surprising features-on Saturday
morning a batch OF cream was
churned and before noon the entire
supply Of buttermilk had been sold.

go in mass meeting assembled do
hereby adopt the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas the house Of representa-
tiVes has passed bill known as H. B.
No. A, intended to submit at a special
election to be held in June the Ques-
ton Of adopting a proposed constitu-
ton contained in said bill and
Whereas said proposed constitution
removes many Of the safeguards,
which experience has shown are
necessary to protect the people-both
minority and majority-in their fun
damental rights, among other things
in this that it is intended to destroy
rather than protect legitimate private
enterprise, to open the door for loot
ing the school fund; to permit and en-
courage the mourning OF unlimited
indebtedness by the state and any OF
its political subdivisions: and opening
the door to excessive and exorbitant
taxation. and that under its provision
taxation will be borne in a far greater
extent by the owners of real property;
that all restrictions on monopolies and
combinations oppressive to the people
contained in the present constitution
are eliminated without Ally safeguard
to take their place; that all provisions
prohibiting the combination of rail-
roads and or their acquiring parallel
and competing lines have been
eliminated; that the state and it's
political subdivisions are therein
authorized to engage in unlimited
business enterprises and adventures
to be established and maintained by
taxation and by divisions of the
school funds given in trust to this
state by congress, and without pro-
viding any limitation and restriction
as to the nature thereof or upon the
amount of taxes to be levied in sup
port thereof: Now therefore be 1t re-
solved:
/. That we oppose the submission
of the constitution at the time or in
the manner proposed;
"2. That we request our senators to
oppose said bill and to vote against
it without regard to the effect of their
vote upon any measure which may
come before the Legislature at this ses-
sion.
"S. Be it further resolved that 1t is
the unanimous sense of this meeting
that the location of the state fair, and
no other favor that the legislature
may have power to grant can Justify
our representative ia voting for H. B.
No. A and we commend the. high
courage and integrity of members of
the legislative assembly who are OPP
posing this bin in face Of threats 20
cripple their local institutions"

LEE HOLDS
HAWLEY
MILL site

A new complication has arisen in
connection with the Hawley -four mill
site. X. o. Lee, who holds a lease OF
the land, from the Northern Pacific
railroad, for agricultural purposes
refuses to surrender it. He claims
that the dust from the mill would
blow towards his residence and be-
come a nuisance. This was his excuse
when Hans Rushfeldt of the Hawley
Commercial club . committee called
upon him on Saturday.
This is the only obstacle remaining
and thep romoters Of the project hope
to come to some arrangement with
Mr.. Lee within a few days. Knud
WefaId, w. Geo. Hammett and q
representative Of the firm that will
build the mill made satisfactory ar
rangements with the railroad com
pany.
The proposed site is on the old
right -of-way of the railroad and is
south of the site of the old mill that
was burned several years ago.

those held at this time last year, or
5000 bushels against $4,000 a year ago.
These figures are based upon the
amount Of stock that will be offered for

Dealers have been paying the growers
around $1.6o.
here are very light. The principal
crop Ia Ohios and only q SUFFICIENT
amount is now held to take care Of seed
requirements; whereas. last year
Triumphs are grown here but ali OF this
variety are sold. Probably fifteen cars
were held this time year ago. 81

the present time are considerable un-
der normal. Approximately $4,000 bush
els are now held by dealers and grow
ers against 10000 bushels at this tiuwe
in 1915.
Barnesville-ohios are produced. here
almost exclusively, but the holdings
this year are only $4,000 bushels COM
pared with 10000 which were held
here Feb. / last year. sixty per cent
of the holdings are in the hands OF the
growers.
Baker-The holdings of Red River
ohios throughout Clay county are only
q fraction of those usually held at this
time OF the year. At this station there
are not to exceed thirty cars, against
126 cars held last year, and 400 cars
norman 1OIQlnGB 1Or previous years.
Dealers are paying around $3.50 q
bushel
The Packers article does not carry
any reports from Hawley and other
points in the eastern part Of Clay coun-
ty, where the crop was nearer to nor
NAL than 1t was In many other locali-
ties.
There is, OF course. a strong division
of opinion as to the probable price 10
cally when the seed shipping season
| opens up in about two weeks. Many of
the dealers express fear of a slump when
weather conditions permit the market
| ing of potatoes now held by producers.
On the other hand, many of the
growers hold to the opinion that they
will receive 80 per bushel for choice
| seed, and some of them are holding for
that figure.
Much depends upon the weather con-
ditions at planting time. II the season
| is early, the demand will be heavy both
for shipment and for home planting. A
cold, late spring in the south will ma
terially reduce the demand for Red
Rivers for planting and make q GORE
spending reduction in the prices. In
any event, the holder OF good, clean
| stock is sure to get a price that makes
| the potato crop of the Red River VAL
ley one Of the most valuable ever pro-
| duced.
