WILLIAMSBURG FOLK
OWN COOPERATIVE
STORE; IS SUCCESS
By WILLIAM r. sANBoRN

Hollansburg and Washington, c. H.,
Ohio are about 100 miles apart, per
haps a trifle more as trucks travel,
and 1t is truck transportation which is
now linking these two towns.
Two large truck loads of creamery
produce are hauled from williamsburg,
weekly, to the 100000 plant at
Washington, c.. H, this at the expense
of the creamery folks, who also return
the crates, cans, ETC., free of cost. The
loads consist of cream, eggs, country
butter and live poultry.
During the past week the Hollans-
burg Cooperative company sent so ten
gallon cans of cream and 100 cases of
eggs to the creamery, besides crates
of chickens, country roll butter. etc.
But this didn't make cleanup, there
being 16 cases Of eggs left over on
Saturday.
It is expected that the business will
increase largely during the summer,
the williamsburg folks having been in
business only since April, 10. c. c.
Hawk, manager, states that he has
really been surprised at the way bust
ness started Off and at the daily re.
ceipts of produce and amount OF
sales.

The cash register tells the story, and
Is the bookkeeper, for everything Is
done on a cash basis. Every stock.
holding purchaser draws dividends, not
on the amount Of his stock, quarterly
but on the amount of his purchases, as
shown by his register slips. As those
who do not own stock do not get per
centages off on sales, no slips are Is
sued to them. 1t has been decided
that he first dividend or rebate will be
five per cent, payable at the end OF
the first quarter. Goods are strictly

Union County Boys and
Girls Are Off to Purdue

Eight Union county boys and girls
were off to the Purdue Club Roundup
Monday. Over 1900 boys and girls
of the various clubs over the state
were present. All buildings on the
campus were thrown open and a regu,
lar program by the children followed
throughout the week. Most Of those
attending were club winners in the
various clubs.
The trips from Union county were
financed by the County Farmers in
stitute, the Citizens bank and the I'm
ion County National bank. Miss Osa
Duvall, who is employed as assistant
club leader for the summer, had
charge of the trip.
Those making the trip were the fol

Mr.. Clevenger stated that the re-

He said he feared that the fly was

The fact that probably so per cent

to considerable reminiscent argu-
ment as to the chances for crop If

since added to the limit and new
applications are coming in daily, it's
said. The co-operators are planning
to add an elevator and coal yard as
profits permit.
Eventually, if all goes well, there
will be an extra dividend in some form
it is hoped, aside from the returns on
purchases, "but this will be some dis
lance in the future, and after all nee.
essary expansion. At any rate we have
fixed but a reasonable margin of profit
on the goods handled and every CO.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William a. sanborn

poets for May sown fields.
Jesse Study, of Fountain City, Is
telling his friends that the finest crop
of oats he ever grew was put in from
May to T. 1t all depends on season
able rains, he says, and. having faith
that there is still plenty of water in
the sky, he is again tempting fate by
sowing oats this week, as are some
others. 1t is argued that there Is
plenty Of water in the soil to start
with and so farmers are inclined to
SOW oats where rotation calls for
them.
Jesse DruIey's Experience
In Jesse Druley's experience April
20 Is as late as it is usually profitable
to SOW oats in this section. This,
however, has been freak spring sea-
son and it is possible that late sown
oats may make a CROP" Mr.. Druley
has 80 acres in wheat, 80 acres in oats
and also 80 acres in clover-the whole
shooting match being in the same
fields. 1t came about in this manner.
His wheat was sown early and the
fly ate holes in it.
There being no promise of a crop
worth while about two bushels of oats
to the acre were sown in the middle
Of March, but not disced in, as he did
not wish to cut up the wheat. Glover
was also put in with the result that
his oats are looking fine and the clover
Is making a brave showing. The out
look now is that Mr.. Druley will cut a
whole lot of feed from his 80 acres.
Danger Of A Dry May.
Late sown oats depend on May rains
more especially, said Mr. Druley, and
dry May on oats planted within the
past few days would have mighty
bad effect on the crop. In his own
farming, he stated, that he had sown
oats in his wheat as early as late Feb
ruary, and in regular planting had
sown oats as early as April 1, depend
ing on the weather.

Nervous troubles, with backache,
dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular
kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney
weakness and to try the remedy that
has helped your neighbors. Ask your
neighbor.
Mrs. B. F. Louder, Dinken St., Man

kidney trouble about three years ago
which started with smart pains
through the small of my back. Head
aches bothered me a good deal, and
sometimes was so nervous l couldn't
hold anything in my hand. l was
bothered with dizzy spells, too, and
black specks often came before me, in
