The cabinet of Aristide BRAND has
had numerous ups and downs since
last fall. The opposition in the last
few weeks had grown to such an ex-
tent that collapse of the ministry was
predicted on all sides.
week ago the BRAND cabinet sue
ceeded in obtaining a vote of confidence
in the chamber of deputies, but 1t was
pointed out at that time that 200 mem
bers of the opposition purposely alb
sented themselves. It was conceded
the opponents of BRAND, if they de-
sired, could at any time defeat a vote
of confidence.
The exact reasons behind the crit
icisms of the cabinet have not been
made clear, except as they relate to
general disposition to assail the min
istry for inadequacy and inefriciency.

States and in all parts of the world,
thus assuring the producer good re-
turns and the benefit from a vile
distribution of his products. The
farmer produces and we reach those
that consume and we bring in the
dollars from over the mountains.
OUR PROFITS.
Our profit is fixed by our Articles
of Incorporation, namely: three per
cent on sales, II we can earn that
much. Should we earn more than
three per cent on sales, this surplus
earning Is returned to our producer
stockholders, holding stock in the
company at the rate of one share,
par value Ten Dollars, for every two
cows milked, in proportion to the
amount of milk, cream, eggs and
poultry they sell us. This limits our
profits to approximately one cent per
pound on butter, six-tenths OF cent
per pound on cheese, and nine
tenths of a cent per dozen on eggs.
COMPETITION.
This company does not own
share Of stock in any corporation or
firm, whether competitors or not,
directly or indirectly engaged in the
creamery or produce business in the
west, in the United States, or in the
world; and no firm, Individual or
corporation, whether competitors or
not, directly or indirectly engaged
in the creamery and produce busi-
ness in the west, in the United
States or in the world. owns any
shares of stock or holds any interest
whatsoever in this company.
STOCKHOLDERS.
Two hundred and forty three
farmers have taken stock in our
company. and sixty-six of our en-
ployees are stockholders. It is the
right and privilege Of every farmer,
with milk and cream to sell, to be-
come a stakeholder with us; and
sixty per cent of our capital stock is
reserved for producers.
DIVIDENDS PAID DURING 1915.
The total dividends distributed tu
stockholders during the year 1915
were eight per cent upon the par
value of stock outstanding. We
have in addition to these dividends
paid to the farmers and producers

the total value of dairy and poultry

wired or telephoned their general
chairmen asking that all action be
postponed for As hours. And unless,
prior to that time advised of a
settlement, the men will leave the

German Americans
Bitterly Condemned
For Loyalty to u. S.

AMSTERDAM, Via London, May 10.
Bitter condemnation of German
Americans is the feature of an article
in the Kreuz Zeitung on mobilization
in the United States.
The writer first seeks comfort in
expressing utter disdain for the pres
ent American army, comments on the
costliness of volunteer recruiting and
the obstacles to conscription such as
a lack of lists of men capable of bear
ing arms. Referring to the loyal reso-
lutions passed at meetings of German
he says:
"German-Americans could not be-
tray their old mother country more
seeing that nobody will
assert that the existence of the United
States is endangered by Germany
The more pitiful is the cowardly zeal
with which they disowned their race
in time Of distress"
