The farmers cooperative
creamery boards of the Second
district of the Minnesota Coop
erative Creameries held an i'm
portant meeting at Milaca last
Tuesday afternoon, and decided
to join in a plan for marketing
their product under a common
brand. This district comprises
Mile Laos, Kanabec, Pine, Ben
ton, and lsanti counties. The
representatives of the various
boards of the cooperative cream
cries in the district were present.
Manager Ed. Seymour, of the
Milaca cooperative creamery,
acted as chairman of the meeting
and introduced the speakers.
The first speaker was II. F.
Myers, of st. Paul, state manager
of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries Association. He ex-
planned how the New York mark
ct is being overlooked with
butter, and how Minnesota butter
is poured into the markets there
under other names, and Mime
sofa gets no credit for it's prime
product. Another year of dump
ing on the New York market he
said, would swamp the market
and demoralize prices. The New
York commission houses take and
fix the butter up into fancy
packages and give it their own
labels, and sell it for fancy prices.
Minnesota creameries that make
sweet cream butter do not get
the full benefit Of their product.
1t is merely graded as Extra,
but nothing is said of it being
made of sweet cream. The cen

SONG OF LORELEI
CENTURY OLD
Famous Poem and the
Romantic Legend of
The Rhine.
(Milwaukee Joarnal.)

NntiWouhVV SVohhueJ
Just 100 years ago. under the
most remarkable circumstances,
Heinrich Heine, that chief of
cynics and satirists. who dashed at
sentiment and the romantic lean
ings of the world, wrote the
Lorelei.
If you are a lover of romance
and who is not? get out your
copy of the worlds most famous
songs and turn to the Lorelei.
Then, with a vision of blond
water sprites lurking in the cool
blue waters of the Rhine, in the
shadows of the famous Lorelei
rock, where a whisper is echoed
as if it were a mysterious truni-
pet call. sing out the beautiful
old song.
1t has been among the wonders
of literature that the very men
least likely to be touched by
heart appeals. should react so
powerfully. when finally they
were pierced through their armor
of cynicism, that they should
leave the finest monuments to
sentiment and romance.
While modify, wandering
along the beautiful Rhine coun-
try during one of his many love
tangles, in which he had had to
suffer a scorn more bitter than
his own, or any mans, namely the
scorn of a lovely woman. he came
upon the noted Lorelei rock. The
beauty of the spot, its wonderful
echo, that seemed to carry his
voice out to his beloved and back,
worked a profound spell upon
him and the impression burned
in his mind until it took form in
the lines that at some time or
other almost everybody learns
and fingers upon.
A River Goddess.
The Lorelei is one of the most
wonderful figures of the worlds
romance. She goes way back to
the times when she was probably
worshiped as a river goddess; and
after the arrival of Christianity
she fingered as beautiful folk
myth which has had a great in
fluence upon the poetry and art
of the world. Still better it has
given the world some of its most
enchanting stories, and as Socra-
ties said, He who leaves the
world beautiful tale does more
than he who builds great build
ings."
Like other myths that have
lasted from the ages the place
and the tradition have fingered in
the regard of the people. It is
said that in the Alpine regions
peasants still worship old district
divinities and in the neighbor-
hood of the Lorelei stone. the old
tradition still has great force over
the simple peasant folk.
Its spell seems so powerful
that even travellers from other
regions when they are nearby
begin to have reverence for the
old high stone overhanging the
mysterious water depts. and the
echo that repeats the voice as
though it were spoken by a far
away god; and in spite of oneself,
the very presence of fairy land
and the old gods sweeps over one
and tingles the blood with
strange ecstasy older than civil
zation.
According to tradition the
Lorelei was an earth maiden be-
trayed by one of the false knights
IN he neighborhood. In her des-
pair she went lamcnting 10 the

recognized on the market.
The Minnesota Association of
creameries now proposes to put
a brand Of sweet cream butter ON
the market. II will be labeled
properly and marketed as a
superior product. The central
izers cannot make sweet cream
butter, so the cooperative or
ganization will have that field to
itself. The butter will be shipped
from the creameries to st. Paul
with a storage in transit privilege
which will enable the association
to blend the butter and prepare
it for market under their own
special label. Thus the farmers
cooperative creameries will be
able to build up a market for
their own product. and get full
credit for sweet cream butter,
This butter will be shipped to
various markets. ready for sell
ing, and will not need to be
dumped on any market. II will
mean an enormous saving in
freight rates annually.
He pointed out the discrimina-
ton in freight rates in which the
centralizer concerns are favored,
and which the association pro-
poses to have changed. The cen
tralizers get rate of $1.27 per
hundred pounds to the New York
market while the co-operatives
are required to pay $i.55a pei
hundred under the old plan.
John Brandt. of Litchfelc
president Of the state association
was next introduced and gave q
very interesting talk in which
he outlined the problems of but
ter marketing very clearly
He is thoroughly trained in the
marketing problems. He said the
work of trying to establish the
farmers own marketing system
is being done in the face of the
hardest kind Of opposition from
the big commission houses that
do not want them to have an in.
dependent market. He told how
the effort to furnish creamery
supplies had been built up in face
of bitter opposition until now il
was recognized as a going bust.
ness.
Unless the farmers take the
butter situation in hand he said
the time is coming when the big
packing interests will absolutely
control the butter market and
can fix the prices to suit them
selves, the same as they do now
in the meat business. All the
work of marketing is now done
by others and the farmers pay
the bill. 1t comes out of the
price of butter shipped.
All directors of the association
are actual farmers and the book:
of the association are audited
monthly by the department oil
agriculture. All, who handle
funds are now under bonds. The
membership in the association is
now $50, a gain of twenty-four in
the last few weeks.
To show the tactics of some of
the big commission firms tele-
gram that has been received by
many of the farmers creameries
