We'll" said Jim, 81 think We ought
to organize one, but I've another
proposition first. Let's get together
and pool our cream. BY that, / mean
that well all sell to the same cream
cry, and get the best we can out Of
the centralizers by the cooperative
method. We can save two cents 4
pound in that way. and We'll learn to
c-operate When we nave found
lust how well we can hang together,
we'll be able to take up the co-opera-
tive creamery, with less danger Of
falling apart and failing"
"Who'll handle the pOol?' inquired
Mr.. Hansen.
We'll handle 1t in the school," an

Bronson.

all the time" said Jim. TITS the only
way to get full value OF the invest
ment. And we've corn-club work. pig
club work, poultry work and canning
club work which make it very desira-
Bile to keep in session with only q
weeks vacation. If you'll add the
cream pool, 1t will make the school
the hardest working crowd In the dis

Wilbur Smythe's car stopped at the
distant gate and honked for him-6
signal which broke up the party.
Haakon Peterson passed the word to
the colonel and Mr.. Bronson for q
board meeting the mex evening. The
picnic broke up in a dispersion OF staid
married couples to their homes, and
young folks In top buggies to dances
and displays Of fireworks In the sur
rounding villages.
Jim walked across the fields to his
home-neither old nor young, having
sweetheart with whom to dance
nor farm to demand labor in its In
exorable chores. He turned after
crawling through a wire fence and
looked longingly at Jennie as she was
suavely assisted into the car by the
lawyer.

colonel interrogatively, as he and hfr
