Farm Bureau Hopes to Enlist
Owners Of 800 Cows
PLAN PROGRESSING WELL
Proposal to Build Plant that VIII
Dispose Of All Milk
Products

bennington County is soon To have
n cooperative milk plant. The Farm
Bureau has made careful investiga.
tion OF the dairying conditions in and
for radius Of l2 miles around Man
chester and found approximately 1900
COWS. Comparisons have shown that
the Brattleboro plant. which has been
such a splendid success. had no bet.
ter field for development and great
deal more competit on.
The plan Is to construct milk
plant on the railroad at Manchester
Depot that win be equipped to sell
ilnd milk. Wholesale and retail
sweet cream. ice cream. butter and
cheese. TIE proposition will be financ.
cd by having every farmer, taking
milk to the creamery. take out a
share Of stock at 5000 for each cow
in his herd This amount will be paid
in iDstalments. 10 per cent OF the
whole amount being due at the organ
ization meeting. 10 per cent 30 days
later and the remainder being deduct
ed from the milk checks at the rate
of 10 per cent per month
The producer agrees to take TO the
creamery all the products OF his dairy,
except that used on the farm for a
period OF three years The creamery
agrees to pay per cent interest on
capital stock and divide all profits
with the stockholders according to the
value of the products brought to the
creamery
Two general meetings have been
held at which the plan has beer
discussed fully a tentative board OF
OF directors was elected ut these.

TO determine the type of building best
suited to Bennington county needs.

the matter before the Factory Point
Bank and secured their approval and
cooperation.
Before the definite plans can be
made. It VIII be necessary to sign up

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Cheer up.

When you have had some misfor-
tune, and you are tired and discour-
aged, what do you do?
Nope around and null over your
hard-luck experiences?
Do you allow your mind to dwell
on such a subject till you become
respondent and almost ready to give
up trying to better your situation?
Why add to your present trouble
BY connecting with it all the trouble
you have had in the past?
Is there any possible chance of
such thoughts helping the situation?
Isn't it true that the more you
think of misfortune you have had the
less able you are to plan some way
of overcoming your latest setback? !?
The i'll luck you have had in the
past should be forgotten, because to
remember it lessons your chances OF
success in the future.
To continue to think of i'll luck
leaves no place in your mind for any
other thoughts.
The battles we have to face and
the problems we daily have to solve
are enough, without adding what is
past and gone.
Be hopeful and confident for the
future and push ahead
Enough sunshine dispels gloom.
