Mattice, Ont-Renewed fears for the
three American balloonists, returning
to civilization from the shores of
James Bay, were felt here today.
They are overdue here on their dog
sled trip down the frozen Missinabi

weather has prevailed, softening the
ice, gave rise to fears that the
aeronaults- Lieutenants Hinton, Kloor

COOP COMP ANY
ASKS FOR TIME
Frank Financial Statement
Sent Out by Officials
Of Company.
ONE STORE IS CLOSED

The Consumers Buying company, the
pioneer cooperative organization of
Kenosha, through its president, H. A.
Dennis, sent frank letter to the
creditors Of the company, announcing
plan for readjustment of the finances
Of the company and stating that the
buying company will take some time
for such REIMBURSEMENT. The letter
announces that the assets of the COM
pany are $4,000 and the liabilities
$15,500, but it is stated that the com
pany believes that with proper man
agement it will be able to pay every
dollar it owes and continue it's bust
ness. There are hundreds Of the
stockholders of the company in Keno
sha and the frank statement of the
company through its officials is count
ed on to allay any fears which these
stockholders may have as a result of
unauthentic rumors which have been
heard in regard to the financial condi-
ton of the company. In his statement
to the creditors President Dennis
says:
Bad Management Blamed.
eve regret to inform you that the
Consumers Buying. Company is in
financial difficulty Our approximate
situation is as follows: Assets $4,000.
liabilities $15,550. We blame this en-
tirely on poor management and our
board of directors had not been in
formed of the true situation by the
manager in time to catch it. Our bust
ness has been very good. For the past
ten weeks our weekly sales have aver
aged better than $1,000. We had on
January 1st $2,9919O in outstanding
accounts, only two of which were over
thirty days old. The board Of direc-
tors realize their responsibility to both
the stockholders and creditors and are
doing their utmost to correct the stu
alton.
One Store Is Closed.
"We have replaced our manager with
man in whom we nave full conf
dence, who has seen the trouble de-
velop and who can apply strong rem
edies. We have closed our second
store which was great convenience
to some of our trade but which lost
money. Other leaks are being stopped
as fast as they are found.
eve will furnish you with copy of
our inventory of January 1st as soon
as finished. Our books are open to
you at any time. We will welcome
suggestions and will gladly furnish
any other information you desire.
"All we ask is a little patience; we
are trying new thing; we know we
are on the right track as the volume
of business will show, and we are sure
we can pay every creditor and keep
for them one of the best accounts in
this district"
Prominent Men Connected.
It is believed that every creditor Of
the company both in Kenosha and in
other cities will be willing to accept
the proposition of the company and
that there will be no one seeking to
force any immediate change in the
conduct of the business. The high
standing of the men connected with
the company gives assurance that it's
affairs will be handled in perfect man
ner 50 far as it may be possible for
these men to act.

Is TT THORPE?

To begin with, Thorp and Thorpe
are the same name. They are just
another one OF these interesting
cases in which two spellings have
persisted OF a name that was orig
inally one. Perhaps Thorp is the
more modern manner OF spelling.
This was a common local surname
IN England. for there were many
parishes so called, and from these
parishes many families took their
names. II was such a usual name
that IL was also used as a termina-
tion. in Althorpe. =
The word thorp meant simply a
village or a collection of houses IN
Anglo-Saxon times, and hence its
widespread use as a place name.
The first settler Of the name in
America was william Thorpe who.
with his wife Elizabeth, settled in
New Haven in 1885. His first wife
died and with the pr9mptness usual
in those colonial days when II was
hard getting along without a house
keeping wife, william married again
this time Margaret, widow OF VIII
liam Pigg. His children we're Ma
thanial. Elizabeth, John. Samuel and

The Thorpe family in America be-

a good deal in the intellectual life of
the country. II is an interesting
