Strong endorsement of the manner
in which George Kelley has conduct.
ed the affairs of the ThurstOr
County Dairy and Farm Products AS
socation's big plant at Camp Lewis
is voiced by army and government
officials who have had supervision
of the business and also by various
firms and local people who have
helped in financing the enterprise.
The effort to dispossess Kelley as
a director of the association was
made at a recent special meeting OF
its members, resulting in a modifi-
cation of the contract by which he
handles the vegetables and produce
for the association, paying it a per-
centage of the net returns, and is
also general manager of the plant
directing the milk and ice cream part
of the business.
These endorsements were present
ed to the members at that meeting
and. because of continued rumors
that other efforts may be made to
, oust him, friends of Kelley fearing
that further dissensions may jeopar-
dize the entire enterprise, are giving
wider publicity to the endorsements.
Colonel NOrthingtOn's Views.
One of these comes from Lieuten-
ant Colonel E. G. Northington, COM
mander of the Base hospital, Camp
Lewis, a member of the committee
on whose recommendation the con-
cession was awarded to the local as
sociation last summer and who has
kept constantly in touch with its af-
fairs. This letter, addressed "To
Whom 1t May Concern" reads:
This is to certify that / have
known Mr.. George Kelley, manager
of the Thurston County Dairy and
Farm Products Association, for a
period of approximately one year.
Mr.. Kelley is responsible more than
any other man for obtaining the con-
cession for the aforementioned COR
poration to do business in Camp
Lewis.
LAS manager of this corporation
he has certainly shown marked abil-
ity and I feel that I cannot say too
much in praise of his work, and in
my opinion it would be a great mis-
take to remove him from this posi-
ton. sc. G.. Northington,
Lieut.. Col, NJ. c. N. A."
Sanitary Inspector Approves.
Joseph J. German, sanitary in
spector for the U. S. public health
service. says in a letter to the di-
rectors of the association:
II take this opportunity of COM
mending Mr.. Kelley to your honor
able board. l have known Mr.. Kel-
ley for about year. meeting him
through Colonel E. G.. NorthingtOn,
who was at that time government
sanitary inspector and is at present
in charge of the Base hospital, Camp

Lewis, and who holds Mr.. Kelley in
very high esteem.
"It was through Mr.. Kelley's di-
plomacy and ability that Thurston
county was given the preference in
supplying the milk and cream to
Camp Lewis.
This, think, is one of the biggest
assets that Thurcton county farmers
could have, as they are not only re-
ceiving much higher prices for their
milk than any creamery would pay,
but they have established credit
that is enviable. Mr.. Kelley's ability
to handle the milk and cream satis-
factorily to the government has been
established beyond doubt. He has
been willing to comply with all SAN
itary regulations at all times.
Personally, l consider Mr.. Kelley
the logical man for the position he
holds in your association"
Mayor Endorses Kelley.
Mayor Jesse T. Mills of Olympia,
one of those who helped finance the
association and who has also had oc-
casion to keep advised as to its af-
fairs, says in letter to the associa-
tion:
1T is not my purpose to attempt
to dictate as to the management of
your association, but as an endorscr
of your commercial paper and as a
citizen and taxpayer I feel that to
change the management of your con-
cern at this time might be a vital
mistake.
Il do not know who is aspiring to
to the place now held bf Mr.. George
Kelley, but do know that Mr.. Kel-
ley has worked hard and faithfully
for the success of the association and
lot to do with the success of the un-
dertaking, and my advice is not to
trade horses in the middle of the
stream"
Nineteen local business men and
firms who have endorsed the assOcia-
tiOn's notes or extended 1t credit In
the aggregate amount of $4,000,
made the following statement to the
membership regarding Mr.. Kelley's
conduct of the business:
I'VE, the undersigned creditors
and business men who have materi-
ally assisted in financing your asso-
citation, did so, relying upon George
Kelley's credit and because of his
connection with the association.
May Lose Concession.
I'VE have reason to believe that il
AL h hic
ent position with the company.
Thurston county would stand to lose
the concession to some other county.
We further believe that 1t was large
ly through Mr.. Kelley's efforts that
the association was built up to it's
present standard of efficiency, and
the good will and esteem of the Of
ficers in charge of the buying for the
army camp secured.
I'VE have extended you credit and
endorsed your notes, relying upon
the continuance of Mr.. Kelley's di-
rectorship and management, and In
case you shall see fit to remove Mr..
Kelley from his present position with
the association, we firmly believe that
the concession will be lost and that
we will not have an opportunity to
lend further support to the institu-
ton"
