Educational Monkey, In Four
Times Fooled" was the most wonder
full educational moving picture that
has ever been shown on the screen,
and those who missed seeing it miss

CREAMERY co.
HOLDS MEETING

The 9Th Annual meeting of the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery Co.
was held at FruitIand last Saturday.
1t was a thorough demonstration Of
the real spirit of cooperation, when
in spite of the condition of the roads
there were about six hundred in at.
tendance. The Fruitland High school
building was inadequate to accomo.
date the large crowd that gathered
to manifest their interest in the
welfare of the Creamery business
,s-he business session was very
short and required but little time in
re-electing the two retiring directors,
Mr.. B. Whealdon who has served
years, and Mr.. II. Gregory who has
served the Company as president
since it's organization years ago,
and who is looked upon as the foun-
der of the institution.
Mr. McCue Of the Van Deusen
Bookkeeping Syndicate, gave the
financial report which was very
fine showing for the Company. The
books of the company show that a
S372,493.1O business was done in
1920; the total pounds of butter
manufactured, 659,146, which was
several thousand more than the
previous year. Also the Ice Cream
manufactured and sold, far exceed
ed last years business.
The outside speakers were, J. D.
Mike, of the oregon Dairymens CO.
operative League, and many years
Dairy and Food Commissioner for
Oregon Mr.. Mickle spoke from per-
sonal observations, pointing out the
advantage of the cooperative meth
ods of the producers saving and the
profits made by some of the large
centralizers. He also pointed out
their methods of doing business and
how they took advantage of the pro-
ducers. He strongly urged the farm
ers to stand by their present coop
erative plan of doing business.
F. w Merrill, Secretary or the
Oregon Dairy Council, in his splendid
talk, made a strong appeal to the
farmers to support a campaign for
the consumption of more dairy pro-
ducts. He explained beyond a reason
able doubt, that unless the producers
finance an advertising campaign for
their products showing its real value |
the manufacturers of substitutes
would soon have a large number of
people believing that dairy products
are no better than some of the sub |
stitutes that can be obtained in some |
nf the grocery stores where the pro- |
fit means more than the welfare of
the public Mr. Merrill pointed out
where in some farming communities |
he had known of dairymen selling
their cream and buying substitutes; |
and that a thorough campaign of |
advertising and educating the pub
lie is the only way to overcome the
danger confronting the dairy indus I,
try.
During the program, Miss Esther
Reeds class in music, gave several |
very fine selections which were
greatly enjoyed by those present.
The serving of the lunch was very |
satisfactorily done and Miss Grail |
and her Domestic Science Glass re-
ceived much praise.
After this meeting and splendid |
turnout, every one is now convinc- !
ed that Fruitland is the dairy sec
ton of the Payette Valley.

Attention, Mr.. Farmer.

Insure your cattle against death
from corn stalk disease and other
diseases or accidents. Many farm
ers have already insured their
herds. Liberal rates. Do no,
whit until your cattle commence
dying, rs that is too late to insure.
