c. A. ROBINSON ELEVATOR
Board of Seven Directors Is Elected to
Take Charge of the Organization
Movement and Sell the Stock-Ex-
pect to Organize With Authorized
Capital Of $4,000.

Another farmers cooperative COM
pany is to be added to the list already
doing business in the county if plans
made at a meeting OF farmers OF AL
bion and its vicinity, held at Albion
Tuesday afternoon, are developed as it
is expected that they will be. Formal
action was taken authorizing the or
ganization OF a cooperative company
and board OF directors Of seven was
elected to work out the details and
promote the sale OF stock. Those elect
ed directors were D. S. Collins. Will
liam Holroyd. Martin Graham, Will
liam Ncktbben, E. B. Merrill. A. s.
Berry and S. ]. Burroughs.
The plan as developed is to organize,
probably with an authorized capital OF
$4,000, and purchase the elevator
owned by c. A. Robinson, which it is
understood the owner has said he
would sell to a cooperative company
if one were organized. The company.
one Of the directors said, would De a

Seeking Better Market.
The meeting Tuesday, which was
quite largely attended, was the out
growth OF discussion regarding the ad-
visa biiity Of forming such a company
al Albion that has been interesting
farmers Of the neighborhood for some
time. A general call for the meeting
was sent out by D. s Collins. William
Holroyd. and s. J. Burroughs, and the
principal address was given by Charles
E. Eckerie, OF Minneapolis, an organ
izer OF farmers cooperative elevator
and creamery companies.
The present tentative plans Of the
organizers are to engage only in the
grain and live stock business al first.
The object is TO furnish the farmers
with a better and surer market for
their grain and live stock than it has
been possible for any individual oper-
attng similar businesses to provide es-
pectally during such periods as the last
few months. when transportation and
marketing conditions have not made il
possible for the individual TO handle
all the products. The organizers have
no intention at least not at first OF
engaging In the lumber, building ma
terial, coal OF general merchandise
business.
The directors were planning today
to meet within a short time to plan the
canvass for stock subscriptions and
it was predicted that the company
shortly would be financed fully organ
lied, and ready to engage IN business.

The statement for the month Of
September from the woman's war saw

amount OF stamps sold was within
$3.50 OF the amount sold during the
month Of August. This was thought
to be a splendid showing in view Of
the fact that neighborhood secretaries
were very much discouraged when the

the children's savings through that
channel. However, the woman's or

Actual testimony Of hundreds Of
women Of FL PasO is to the effect
stamps would have never been saved
