SAY E But
FROM MONOPOI


BY A. j. Mcclure, Manager Minnesota
Cooperative Creameries Association.
There is no other farm product in
Minnesota whose price the farmers can
influence as much as they can influence
the price Of cream or butterfat.
The price of butterfat is the only
price on farm products that has not fall
len below the cost of production dur
ing the past two years.
This is largely due to the fact that
there are 600 cooperative creameries
in Minnesota that have been a mighty
factor in influencing the price of butter,
and the price paid to the farmer Tor
cream. -.. rs S.
The cooperative creameries have not
only given the farmers the manufactur-
ers' profits, but prevented monopoly
ofthe butter market.
Every farmer should know the i'm
portance of the cooperative creamery
to his business. The farmers who take
their cream to cream stations do not
realize they are helping to undermine
the best market the farmers OF the state
have ever had. Farmers in Minnesota
have received an average of 10 cents
a pound more for their butterfat dur
ing the past several years than farmers
have. received in states that lack CO.
operative creameries.
While cooperative creameries are not
all first class by any means, they can
be made first class. They are the ono
market that the farmer can control at
the present moment if he will. The
first thing that must be done is to get
to the creamery all the cream that is
produced in the community. 1t is a
shame to farming community to have
cream stations in the same town with
farmers cooperative creamery. The
second thing to be done is to have the
cream delivered to the creamery In
such a condition that it will make first
class butter.
Cream often is spoiled through age
and improper care before it leaves the
y farm. Cream should be cooled in cold
water Immediately after it is separated,
and kept cool until delivered. Every
farmer should have a cream cooling
tank. The well water can be made to
cool the cream on the way to the stock
tank Cream should be delivered to
the creamery while it is sufficiently
sweet to use on the table when there
is company for Sunday dinner. In the
most successful creameries, the farmers
cooperate in handling the cream, and
get all the cream to the creamery while
it is still fresh and sweet.
A third requirement for first class
cooperative creamery is good business
mana gement-1nanagem that will
see that only the BEST. butter is made,
that there are no leaks or losses due
to faulty machineryor workmanship
and that the butter is sold to the best
possible advantage.
The cooperative creameries Of Min
nesota manufactured more than 1907
100000 pounds Of butter in 1921, and
paid the farmers more than 81, 900, 600
for butterfat.

Baptist church here, closed Mon
day might, and State Evangelist C..
H. Stnll and Rev. C. ]. Bowen who

times by other ministers, left Tues
day for their homes in Granville.
They announce that regular SER
vices will now be held at the local
Baptist church. Notice of the next
Sundays services appears in the reg

again to conduct the services.
The meetings just closed were
under the auspices of the Ohio Bap-

tional interest and well attended
considering the many activities Incl

CouIson's Store BurgIarized

Last Sunday morning 1t was dis
covered that parties during the
night had burglarized Coulson's
lower store. They made their en-
trance through the cellar, and
forced open the inside cellar door
which was securely bolted. They
made their escape through the door
by breaking the lock of the clothing
department door which was fasten-
ed securely with paddock. Just
what all was taken is rather hard
to tell, since the counters were
filled with holiday goods. However
two suits are reported missing, also
an overcoat, shaving set, and num-
Der of other articles from the cloth
ing department.
There seems to be no clew as to
who the guilty parties are. Just a
few weeks ago there were evidences
that indicated parties had attempt
ed to break into this store.
The Coulson firm is protected by
the National Detective Bureau COM
pany, and they offer reward of
800 for information that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
parties who broke into their store.

FAYENS- AND MIR. WILSON
HONORED AT GATHERINGS

In honor of DIR. and Mrs. Emmett
Fayen who are soon to leave here,
the members of the Community
Civic club served fine dinner in
the chamber of commerce rooms
Monday evening. Mrs. Fayen is a
member of the club and DR.. Fayen
an honorary member. The club
members and their husbands
about As in all, were present. The
dinner was served at long tables,
DR.. Fayen and wife occupying the
seats OF honor at the center table.
The tables were beautifully decor
ated with poinsettias and ivy. and
candles, and there were Christmas
favors. Following the dinner. Mrs.
Fayen as token of esteem was pre-
sented with handsome art glass
bowl by the club.
The remainder of thu evening
was spent in a pleasant manner
with games of different kinds, in
cluding cards, pool and billiards.
On Tuesday evening the members
of the Muskingum Valley Music
club gathered at their regular meet
ing place, the chamber Of commerce
rooms, and after an informal "sing, -
they were refreshed with chicken
sandwiches and coffee, and candy.
served by committee that had been
chosen for the purpose.
Then came the presentation to
DIR. Faycn of handsome black
leather travelling bag. the parting
gift OF the club to him in recOgni-
ton of the efficient, faithful ser
vice he has rendered as the pianist
for the club. The presentation was
made by Mr.. Geo. M. Scott. Mr.. S.
|C. White then arose and made a
great show of irritation that Fayen
should be SO kindly remembered,
and that Omar Wilson, the director
of the club, should not be recog-
nized in some substantial way, and
something be presented to him-as
a Christmas gift. He expressed the
belief that while Fayen had been
an important factor in the work of
the club, Wilson had done as much,
and maybe more" than Fayen had.
To calm the troubled waters and
appease "Sam" somewhat. Major
Kahler then arose and made a
speech ending in motion that 1t be
left for the club to decide whether
Prof Wilson was entitled to a pres
ent or not. The club decided he
was, and then somebody brought
out another black leather travelling
bag, precisely like the one given to
DR.. Emmett Fayen, and it was pre-
sented to Prof Wilson, and every
body was happy. The little pre-ar-
ranged "by play" before presenting
the gifts to the pianist and director
furnished considerable merriment
and helped make the occasion most
pleasant.
Mr.. Wilson, who can play the
piano, as well as sing and direct,
gave some enjoyable selections and
the gathering throughout was one
long to be remembered.

BOB AND DEED" ARE
SHOWING MUCH SPEED

The last issue of the "Green and
White" which is the 0. u, college
paper, published at Athens. speak
ing of the basketball teams this
year at the 0. T., pays two of our
local boys quite compliment, but
nevertheless a deserved one The
paper states that lone of the strong
est and most promising Freshmen
basketball teams in years has for
the past week been getting the Var
sity team in shape for their opening
game. This Freshmen team is COM
posed of stars from numerous high
schools, and the Yearlings Wake the
Varsity quintet exert every minnie
during practice sessions" Speaking
of the most promising men on the
squad, and in all only eight are
mentioned, we quote again, the fol-
lowing: "Deedrick and King, two
men from McConnelsville, are very
promising candidates. King plays
a forward and center position and
travels at whirlwind speed. Deed
rick is q fine dribbler and a sure
shot"
When one considers that there
aT0s QuuuTcUS Ol FRESHMEN DdSket-
ball players from far and near at
this college, and two of our boys
from this place are selected, it
speaks mighty well for their play
ing. However we are not a bit sur
prised-we have seen enough of
the game to know that Deed and
Bob are topnotchers. For several
years O. u. has had one OF the very
best teams in the state, and when
Bob and Deed get on as regulars,
1t will not take a backward step.
