troys the tallest and best. The boys

left vacant by those who died on the
battlefield" he declared. He also

COOPERATIVE COMPANY
SETS new HIGH RECORD
Farmers Agency at South
St. Paul Establishes New
Record For World
Farm Bureau News Service)

Farm Bureau News Servlce)
A new worlds record for volume
of business handled by a farmer
owned livestock terminal sales agen-
CIV was esta blished in October when
the Central COOPERATIVE Commits
sion Company Fat South st. Paul
marketed 1854 cars of animals of
all kinds. The Centrals best pre-
vious record month was 1920 cars in
June 1922. The new record is an
increase of slightly more than ten
percent. In October, year ago,
the total cars were 11O4, the new
record being an increase over the cor
responding period of 1921 of nearly
80 per cent.
The large volume of business
handled last month, according to j.
S. Montgomery, was partly due to
two train-loal shipments from Perk-
ms county, South Dakota. The
farmers association there sent two
solid train loads of stock to the
Central during October, these having
followed the first, consigned in. Sep
TENDER. These shipments were the
result of organization work on the
part of J. D. Pyle of Madison, Mimi,
field representative for the Central
and director Of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation.
NATURALLY, we are pleased with
our constantly growing volume OF
business" said Mr.. Montgomery.
Snow that the company is well estab-
lished and it is realized by shippers
that we render superior service, the
extent to which we can be factor
in the market and obtain higher
prices for all is determined by our
volume of business. More cars!,
rot only to cut down the overhead,
but put US in position to stabilize
prices through our ability to reg
ulate the supply of animals on the
market. After all is said and done,
that is the thing that the farmer
agencies must do in the terminal
markets, if their companies are to
be more than mere handling con-

ENGLAND AND FRANCE
DISAGREE ON FARLEY
(By United press)

Paris, Nov. 13-England and
France were deadlocked today over
the Near. East PEACE Conference at
Lausanne, Lord Curzon, British
foreign secretary, insists that Eng
land not attend such conference
until the French and British agree
on a program.
The French hold along with the
Turks that the conference should be
held as soon as possible. Constanti-
nople's attitude will necessitate an
other postponement from November
goth to the new date set. Curzon
feels that holding the conference
will result in French domination. A
cabinet meeting was called for to-
day to discuss his attitude. Ismet
Pasha in an interview with Mat'n's
Lausanne correspondent said that
the Constantinople situation was
serious because of the postpone
ment.

as we'll satisfied.

bers and the parade was staged as
scheduled, leaving the city hall at

NUMBER 40
Butler I; Pleasant Hill o.

The above score tells the story of
Sundays game between the Butler
and Pleasant Hill teams The game,
one OF the fastest ever played on the
local diamond, early developed into
a pitchers battle in which Grimsley
had the best OF Shiveley, the Pleas
ant Hill pitcher. The hits allowed
were the same, two each, but Shive-
ley gave two passes to first by the
four ball route and one of these re-
suited in the run that won the game.
Both sides iielded brilliantly, one
error being marked up against each
and they were ON hard chances.
Phillips made Buffers only wobble
on a y hard groundcr from Stone
streets bat in the fifth inning. The
Pleasant Hill mistake was in the first
inning and cost run when Hankins
muffed Laverty's high throw Of
Grimsleys grounder.
The sole run OF the game was
made by Rexroad in the first inning
when he went to first on base ON
balls, was sacrificed to second by
Williams and scored when Hankins
let Laverty's assist on Grmsleys
groundcr get away from him.
The fielding feature OF the game
was Williams catch OF Hankins fly
back of second base in the ninth in
ming. 1t was hard hit ball and
travelling fast when Williams, after
hard run, just managed to get his
hands on it, Miller, in right field,
also had two circus catches to his
credit.
In addition to being good ball
players the Pleasant Hill boys were
gentlemanly bunch and good losers
and should the management be able
to secure them for another game the
attendance will be much better than
i: was Sunday when the threatening
weather kept many away.

The officers and directors of the
Butler Commercial Club held their
regular seni-monthly meeting Tues
day evening, July IL, in the band
stand in the court house yard.
DR.. L. n. Chastain, representing
the physicians of the city, was pres
ent and discussed with the Club the
proposition Of hospital for Butler.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter OF procuring suit
able building and to ascertain wheth-
er Or not satisfactory arrangements
for the establishing Of a hospital
here may be made at this time.
There is no doubt about the need of
such an institution at this place and
those interested are hopeful that
some plan may be devised by which
one may be secured in the near (u-
ture, even though it be started in a
very modest way, for it is believed
that the community would soon ap-
preciate the need of a hospital and
would encourage its growth and de-
velopment.
The Lyceum committee reported
that meeting of that organization
was held last Monday and that plans
for the management OF the course
sponsored by he Club were discussed.
An advertising campaign will be
launched at all early date and in a
few weeks the committee will thor
oughly canvass the town for the sale
of season tickets. A splendid course
of six numbers has been selected and
the. price OF tickets will be in the
reach OF everybody, so it is hoped
that the committee will experience
no difficulty i'll disposing of the re-
quired number. Butler needs enter

who are endeavoring to make it a
