to " celebration. There are about
fifty families in the club and about
$50 Ea- soTr were present Though
the wasther was threatening this
big crowd gathered in from all
over the country.
Such gatherings are very valu-
able from social standpoint and
very profitable from a business
viewpoint. 1t has always been diff.
cult to get farmers to cooperate
to their financial advantage. Such
meetings will hasten the day.
The entertainment opened with
several reels of motion pictures.
This was followed by a brief sbusi-
ness meeting. Mr.. Reynolds; mana
ger of the Helvetia Condensory at
Lamar spoke hopefully on the
price of milk and cream, said there
could be no drop and might be an
increase. He held out good pros
poets of receiving Station for
Holly in the near future. In the
summer months 1t is difficult to
ship the milf fresh from Holly with
out first cooling It, A receiving sta
tion would relieve the difficulty. q
W. s. Partridge spoke interest
ingly of his recent visit to Wood
man, near Colorado Springs and of
che Woodman Sanitarium there n.

ciatior that took him thither. In
the big sale to be held In Kansas
City Of choice stock from all over
the country, only ten animals were
.pportioned to Colorado The asso.
citation here was to have the honor
of entering an 18 months old heifer

Partridge urged the need OF more
organization among the farmers
which would lift themsto a place of
more influence and power. He de,
clared the outlook for the farmer
was very rosy. since now there Is a
surplus of farm crops for export. In
fifteen years there would be no sur
plus. Prices must needs rise.

0. Fisher of New York City. Presi.
dent of the Arkansas Valley SUGAR
Beet and Land Company, expressive
his regret that he could not be
present at the jollifieati0ns
Mr. Partridge announced that con.
tracts had beer signed with the

of pictures for the Cow Club, some
OF them at the same time they.
were released in Denvers The most
remarkable picture ever shown hara
Queen of the Turf" would be given
in about two weeks on the same
week as shown in Denver. He urg--
ed all to see this picture. These
pictures brought no profit to the
Club since all the income was spent
in more and better picures for
those who enjoyed high grade pro-
tductiOns. However some pictures
in IA lighter vein were to be given
this summer but still of q high
grade
