BUT FEW WERE
PRESENT AT CO.
OPERATIVE MEETING
FARMERS EVIDENTLY TOO BUSY
TO BOTHER WITH FORMING 7,
OF NEW ASSOCIATION.

Only 20 farmers were present at
the meeting which was called for
Tuesday night at the city hall for the
purpose Of completing the organiza-
tion of the Belding Farmers associa-
tion, proposed cooperative concern
which has as its aim and object the
marketing of produce, grain, beans
and other farm commodities for the
farmers of this vicinity. In addition
to this the concern would be organiz-
ed so that it could also handle and
carry on cooperative purchasing Of
practically everything which the far
mers Of this vicinity need.
Ira Richmond of Smyrna, was elect
ed as chairman of the meeting and
after thorough discussion of the
affair it was decided to affiliate. with
the Cleaner Clearing House of De-
troit, doing away with the work so
far accomplished in the organizing
of the local association and becoming
part of the Detroit concern, which
has branches in many Michigan cities
and which is managed by Nathan F..
Simpson, former warden of Jackson
prison. naa4
1t was decided to hold another
meeting on Tuesday. September 3, in
the auditorium of the city hall, at
o'clock in the evening, at which time
it is hoped every person who signed
up for stock in the Belding Farmers
association will be present and agree
to take stock in the Cleaners Clear
ing House instead. In this way it is
hoped that the organization may yet
be completed before the time for it
being a benefit this year has passed.
Prof. E. j. Petry, who is working
under the direction Of the M. A. c.,
in the county, in demonstrating the
formaldehyde treatment for the pre-
vention of sinking smut, spoke to the
farmers present, as did also z. W..
Storrs, agricultural instructor in the
local high school. Both men were
well received and gave good short
talks which were appreciated.
Those who were there Tuesday eve
ming were of the opinion that at least
75 men had ought to have turned out
and hope that at the meeting Tuesday
night, Sept. 3, that that number or
more should be there to take up this
important matter

For A Family OF Five.

A family Of five, including two
adults and three children under IL
years Of age, under ordinary living
conditions, should have stored for
each month. of the winter season the
following food supplies: l bushel of
Irish potatoes, 1-2 bushel of other root
vegetables, such as carrots, turnips
and parsnips; 25 quart cans Of other
vegetables; and 20 quarts of canned
fruit and preserves. These figures
are gased on estimates gy the United
States department of agriculture,
which adds that most Of this should
come from the home gardens. With
these figures as basis, it is though.
that almost any family may calculate
its requirements, taking into consid-
eration the length of the winter sea-
son in any given locality.

FORMER CHANNEL MAN IS
 BACK FROM OUTSIDE AND
 ADVISES ALL TO STAY HERE

DOUGLAS, Oct. 14.-Mike McDOn- aid, former compressor man at the Ready Bullion Mine, returned to Douglas on the Spokane yesterday, and states that he will remain in Alaska from now On
 MT. Mcdonald left shortly after the Treadwell subsistence for Ken necott leaving for the States last Spring and has since been working around the busy ports of Puget Sound. He advises all those who contemplate trip Outside to remain here for nine out of every ten who go out will wish themselves back within a few weeks. He says it is nearly impossible for working man to subsist for less than three dollars per day and the conditions are so congested the average Alas kan doesn't breathe right.
 While there is plenty of work at the present, the majority of those from the Channel with whom MT Mcdonald talked recently expressed a regret for ever having left here and before the winter is over, he expects many to return North.
