CREAMERY MEETING
Directors and Operators OF Co.opera'
tive Creameries Assemble to
Discuss Salient Points.
James Sorenson, Expert Creamery
man, Gives the Dairy Farmers
Advice on Many Essentials. :

Last Thursday afternoon the opera
tors and directors Of cooperative
creameries in this section came to-
gethcr at the. armory-not in a.
clash-but to discuss means and meth
DDS for bringing these institutions up
to the highest point of production COM
bined with the manufacture of the
best grade of butter-butter that COM
mands high prices in the eastern mar
kets.
Ten creamery operators were in at
tendance and % members of boards
of directors from 10 creamcries in this
district-a very satisfactory showing.
In fact the meeting was of a most
enthusiastic nature, showing that the
farmers are alive to the fact that CO.
operation means money in their pock-
ets-that it is the only way of OBJ
tanning fair prices for their products.
James Sorcnson, secretary of the
Minnesota Creamery Operators and
Managers association, addressed the
meeting, advising dairy farmers to
cooperate more strongly and work
together in harmony SO as to bring
about greater pecuniary results. Mr..
Sorcnson's speech YVES highly in:truc-
tive and chock full Of common sense.
The farmers have listened to jim
Sorcnson upon many occasions in the
past, and they know he is an expert
in the cooperative creamery business.
He has made and marketed hundreds
of tons of butter in his day and his
advice comes from actual experience.
H. B. Nickerson Of Elk River, vice
president Of the Twin City Milk Pre-
ducers' association, and president Of
the statewide organization Of COOP
erative crcameries, recently estab-
lished, gave a talk on what the con-
Germ had so far accomplished and the
lines which it intended to pursue in
the future.
The meeting was livc-wire affair
and many points were brought up and
discussed which cannot fail to benefit
cooperative creameries in future.
Another meeting will be held in
Foreston on July Z at 2 p. m.

on Payment of $500.

In a circular letter received with a
request that it be published, c. D.
Hibbard, district federal vocational Of
fcer, states that an ideal summer
recreation camp is now under con-
struction at Big Island, Minnetonka
lake, Which will be ready early in
July, and that 'iall disabled ex-service
men in your community are eligible to
attend" The circular goes on to state
that Horace Lowry, president of the
Minneapolis Street Railway company,
is donating this island free of charge,
to be used as a recreation center,
that the money for the construction Of
this camp has been appropriated from
the Minneapolis war chest fund and
that the Western Passenger associa-
ton has reduced rates to a fare and a
quarter for round trips.
The communication adds: "The fee
to be demanded from each man will
be but SIS, covering a period of two
weeks" wherein there will be sports
of all kinds, in fact the "days of real
sport for every disabled ex-service
man."
It is, of course, very kind Of Mr.
Lowry to donate the use of his island
to the disabled soldiers, also gener

ANOKA EVENS COUNT
In a Mussy-Fussy Onslaught Boys
From Down River Defeat the
Manke Bunch, 7 to 2.
Foley's Irish Warriors Will Tackle
Princeton at Fair Grounds on
Sunday and Monday.

Anoka evened the count with
Princeton Sunday, when they came up
to the local fair grounds and took a
fall out of Manke's slipping athletes,
Z to 2. It was an in and out ball
game, there being some good base
ball and some bad baseball Besides
the actual ball playing there were sew
eral excited and prolonged arguments
over some of the plays which came up.
These exhibitions of rag chewing were
participated in by the players, UNI
pires and goodly share of the more,
vociferous fans from both towns.
These talkfests do no particular good
and have tendency to keep the
crowd away from the games. The
real fan pays his money to see base
ball and not for the purpose of listen
ing to a debate. We suggest that
hereafter these would-be debaters do
like Townley and LANCER do-hire a
hall, charge an admission and go to
it. There arc one or two Of tne
Anoka players who could easily hold
their own with either of these big
|nonpartisan leaguers or could even
give our own Daniel Webster Cravens,
star debater of the Rum River valley
end adjacent territory, a rub for his
money, if we could get him to break
away from some Of his foolish social
istic ideas long enough to debate some
of the fine points of the great Ameri-
can pastime.
Both teams got away to an even
start and there was no scoring by
either side until the third frame. An
c'-2 Erclzo loose in this inning and, be-
fore they could be retired, had assessed
a total of six runs, enough to win
three or four ball games of this kind
With one down Corbett singled and
Briere scored him with a two-base
smash. Wick singled, Branded
walked and Holstrom scored Briere
and Wick with a wicked clout. In the
face Of this vicious barragc johnson
who was trying to play second for the
home crew, went to pieces and pilec
up three errors. Branded was caught
at the plate, but in the mixup Fisher

for 1920. Although this harvest was
larger than the previous year in bulk,
in value it had decreased something
like $s,00O,OO0,0O0. To quote Secretary
Meredith further-"During the time when
the farmers were cultivating their crops,
paying for labor and supplies at unusually
high rates, the prices of agricultural COM
modities generally remained high. In
midsummer, when the farmers period of
outlay was nearly at an end and their
income period was about to begin, after
the problem of production had been solved,
sharp decline occurred in the prices of
practically all farm products" Occurrences
such as this are to be regretted and it is
hoped will not occur again since they
tend to discourage and dishearten the man
we cannot get along without-the Ameri-
can farmer.
