How Much wiz the Merchants Help ?

Last week we asked the question if
the farmers of the county were inter-
ested in a plant for caring for the milk
they might produce on their farms.
We have already had responses from
every direction IRON La Plata and, if
those interested will interest others,
the plant is assured. Now comes the
question of financing the operation.
Will the merchants of the county join
in and help build such plant ? Most
of them are from Missouri. All right,
let us look at it in cold dollars and
cents. II the farmers of your commu-
nifty could pay you monthly instead of
yearly, as so many of them now have
to do, would you be any better off than
you are now 7 If the farms of the
county are made more productive than
they are now, will il benefit you l
can hear some of the merchants saying,
If the farmers grow more produce it
will have to be shipped out of the
county to be sold and nothing the far
mer is growing is bringing in any
money now Let us see. A great
deal Of the merchandise of this county
is canned fruit and vegetables. Would
IL nelp you ii the FARMERS grew tnat
produce and you did not have to pay
out your hard cash for it to some out
slider 7 The money saved by the far
mers would come to you and the ex-
pense of sending the money. out and
bringing the produce in would be saved
to some one. You know who would
save that, Mr.. Merchant. You know
that If the farmers did not have to buy
food you would be better of, for they
would spend their money for things
that would bring you in as great a
profit.
Will you not write TO me this coming
week and tell me whether you are in
terested in a milk plant in La Plata,
and that you will take some stock in
such an enterprise

Ono by one mansions which housed

Fifth Avenue much Of it's glitter and

homes in new "eXclusive' parts of
the city. Rsal es- ate men, who have
watched with interest this aggression
CT trade, say that another decade VIII
have wiped out the last bit of resi-
Dental cxclusiveneSs in the avenue.
The change in Fifth Avenue was re-
flected in the recent purchase, of
property bordering the East River nj
Fifty-eghth street by Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt, ST.. where she intends
to build a home in section known
4: Sutton Square. This bit Of prop
erty is directly across from Black
wells Island where a city prison is
located and is almost underneath the
Manhattan approach to the Queens
boro bridge. Real estatc men expect
that Mrs. Vanderbilts migration to
the East river will mean new eX-
elusive district in part Of the city
where ncar-siums existed before.
Mrs. Vanderbilt. who a few y ars
back, helped to make Fifth Avenue
history with her brilliant social ac-

East river property tina Fifth Ave
