erous other members that were pres
ent. Having secured the assurance Of

pose OF conducting Farmers Coop

the name of the organization shall be
known as Raymond Cooperative Cream
cry Association: A suggested outline of
constitution and bylaws and articles
OF incorporation conforming with the
laws Of the state and similar to those
used in other successful cooperative
creameries throughout the state was

Association to meet local conditions.

by ballot of the stock holders present.
The six directors elected are as fol-
lows: j. Molten, R. Peglow, Aug.

! other meeting next Tuesday afternoon

question of location for the creamery
| and decide several other details that
are to be taken up. ='. ..
! :. With the organization completed,
$4,000 subscribed and between 800 and
| 900 COWS assured, Raymond is bound
to have a successful Farmers Coop
erative Creamery. This is an enter
prise coming to Raymond and COM
munity that will fill a long felt need.
The success of the undertaking SO
far is due. to the cooperative spirit
of the many progressive farmers who
| have taken shares and pledged their
1 cows and support. The enthusiasm
and assistance given by the local bust.
ness men and the county agents who
did practically all of the canvassing.
Due to bad roads it was impossible to
reach everyone interested It is plan
4 ned to equip modern and up-to date
creamery. In order to do this an
effort will be made next spring when
the roads are better to interest more
men and sell a couple thousand dol
lars more in shares. Practically ev.
eryone is in favor of the Creamery.
| It's success is assured The idea now
is for everyone to join In and boost
that its success may be as great as
possible. .ss ..ss...ss
