Activity On Market.

Deal Is Off.-Madison Lake Times
A salesman was in town during the
past week trying to interest the
farmers and others in the organiza
ton of cooperative store. Such
stores, where well ocated and effici-
emily managed, have proved in many
instances their value in drawing trade
to a town, and the location Of such a
store at Madison Lake would unoub-
tedly be winner. The plan was en-
tirely Independent in organization
we understand, and was bound to nc
faction in either organization, man
agement or in the buying Of mer-
chandise, and while a good opportuni-
ty existed in that the proposed orga-
niZation could have purchased the
we'll established business of G. w
Allyn, 1t seems that the number OF
persons necessary to perfect an or
ganization that would have insured
success could not be signed up.
