FLINT RESIGNS
JOB AS DAIRY
COMMISSIONER
Has Accepted Management
Of Big Creamery at Sioux
Falls.
Ends Long Career In Serv-
ice of the State of North,
Dakota.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 15.-Robert
F. Flint, state dairy commissioner, has
resigned his position to accept the
management of the Bridgeman-
Russell creamery in Sioux Falls 8.
d. Mr.. Flint will take up his work
there with the beginning Of the new
year. W
Mr.. Flint, who formerly was COM
missioner of agriculture and labor and
dairy commissioners for a number of
years, was employed by the Bridge
man Russell company with head
quarters in Fargo. when he accepted
the post of dairy commissioner with
the recall administration a year ago.
1t was announced at the time by Com
missioner Kitchen that Mr.. Flint had
accepted the state post at q sacrifice
In salary because of his intense inter-
est in romoting the dairy industry in
North Dakota. VI
The new position carries a large
increase in salary. 1t Is understood,
and Mr.. Flint is said also to have
been prompted somewhat by the fact
that appropriations for the dairy de-
partment were not sufficient to carry
on the work on the scale he desired.
Takes Responsible Job
The Sioux Falls plant is one of
Tie largest OF Ln6 bTlQReHldH- ftuSSell
plants, more than a million pounds of
butter being mapufactured there each
year.
Mr.. Flint has been resident of
North Dakota for more than score
of years and has played an important
part IN the development of the In
dustry. He said that he regretted to
leave the state. and hoped to keep in
, touch with the dairy Industry in
North Dakota, firmly believing that
there is a great future for the In
dustry.
Kitchen Regrets Move
Commissioner, of agriculture, J. A
Kitchen, said that the department re.
| gretted very much to lose Mr.. Flint
and that he had come in to aid in the
dairy work during the past year at q
sacftAce In salary. Both Mr.. Film,
and Bsrnt Helgaas, assistant dair,

were offered much larger Ays4ties-t thar

hunted through the bushes crying:
