$4,000 Has Been Saved
to State Creameries
First 100 Cars Shipped by State As
ISOLATION Prove Value of Co-opera-
ton, Mcclure Says

On the first 100 cars of butter
marketed by the New York office of
the Minnesota Cooperative Creamer-
les Association, Inc, net savings
were $4,000, according to A. j. Nc
CURE, general manager. This is at
the rate Of $3.50 car.
The savings grew out of the asso-
Citations plan to ship Minnesota's CO.
operatively-made butter in carload
lots, instead of part-car consign-
ments. The latter plan was the
rule before the association entered
the field.
Since June %, the New York office
has been receiving practically all the
butter made by member creameries
A large per cent of the first 100 cars
has been handled during the last two
weeks.
"This $4,000 saving" says Mr.. Nc
CURE, sis but an indication of what
the association will do, as it extends
its activities. 1t, moreover, is dollar
and cents proof of the worth of CO.

"Men have been known to ampu-
tate their own legs. In times of dire
emergency arms have been severed
from bodies by their owners. One Port

removed his own appendix. But it fell
to the lot of DR.. Joseph A. Petit to
be the first surgeon of this city to
cut out his own tohsils.
although DR.. Petit refused yes
terday afternoon to make any COM
ment on the operation, it was learned
that it was permormed in st. Vincent's
hospital at noon. 1t was not because
the doctor lacked faith in. his surgical
friends that he performed the oper-
alton himself, but because Of a desire
to see if the thing could be done.
with a nurse holding looking
glass before him, DR.. Petit is said
to have deadened the nerves of the
tonsils with a drug and then shared
them out. During the entire operation,
which consumed about 20 minutes,
he was forced to depend entirly upon
the looking glass. His instruments
were difficult to handle in that he had
to use them reversed from the usual
position
DR.. Petit suffered no i'll effects
from the operation and shortly after
