Local Committee Answers
Argument Of Opposition to
Cooperative Marketing Plan

OF certain commodities. The COM
modify we are interested in just now
In this state. in 4 cooperative way
is potatoes and nothing else. Hence
when We enter into the cooperative
marketing this season by signing the
contract. We agree to sell only po-
tatoes through the organization.
The Attorney General Of Indiana
as quoted by Mr.. Henry. expresses
serious doubts as to the final non
profit. cooperative nature OF the
act. Now, according to the member
ship agreement anu contract with
his local association and the state
exchange. neither OF these organiza-
tions can ever become very danger
Gus from a standpoint OF grower.
as the organization holds out only
enough money to pay the actual
running expenses and a two per cent
reserve fund: and should there be
any surplus remaining in the treas
ury at the end Of the year. this sur
plus will be pro-rated back to the
grower. Further the members con.
tract here In this state very clearly
expresses the undersigned pur-
pose to organize . non-profit ASSOC
iation without capital stock. As far
as the law is concerned, 1t speaks In
more general terms and states that
certain things may be done: while
the members contract ID more
specific and says that certain things
shall be done. We wonder II Mr..
Henry hasn't confused the contract
with the law.
The Attorney General further
states. according to Mr.. Henry. ap-
parently there Is no limit to the
amount Of debts which the orGani-
xation may incur and for the pay.
ment Of which the marketing MEM
bers may be made liable. The law
states no member shall be liable for
the debts OF the association to the
amount exceeding the sum remain
Ing unpaid on his membership fee
or his subscription to the capital
stock including any unpaid balance
or any promissory notes given in
payment thereof. OF course this
does not apply to our organization In
Colorado as we are strictly on the
| non-profit. non-stock plan.
A Danish farmer knows to the
penny what his product will sell for
before his crops are planted.
We agree with the writer that the
title Of the members product passes
to the association: but this Is abso-
lutely necessary In order that the
association may more adequately
finance its members than Is being
done unders the old system In MIR.
Henry's district.
Some OF Mr.. Henry's statements
seemed TO he based on hearsay to
which We do not wish to devote any
further space for. strange as II ma,
seem. We have heard quite the op-
posite.

INDIAN CEMETERY
FLOWED UP NEAR
GEORGETOWN, TEX.
Bones of Victims of Tribal
Warfare Plowed
Up.

Georgetown. Tex, March "a
While excavating for a fill at the
new bridge across the North Fork
of the San Gabriel river, workmen
came upon what must have been the
burial ground of an Indian village of
100 years or more ago.
While blowing at depth of about
three feet from the original top of
the divide. workmen unesrthed the
bones of number of skeletons of
human beings. The bones were en-
tirely of grown people. it being pre-
sumed there were, no children buried
there or their bones have entirely dis
integrated.
Besides the skeletons there were
found number of spoons, made
either from horn, bone or stone. At
the small end of the spoon hole was
drilled, indicating that it had been
hung around the neck as pendant.
A bowl for grinding corn Of the type
now found in Mexico was also
found.
The theory as TO tine origin Of the
OOhNs1 oiN 'ANiSNh Va
this section some years ago when
other skeletons were found in proxi-
nifty TO this spot. is that early in
the eighteenth century Cheyenne In
dams had village there and that
they had incurred the enmity of sew
eral tribes who inhabited this region.
They were attacked by the Apaches
and their allies and the greater por-
ton of the inhabitants of the village
were slain. Those who got away
later returned and buried their dead
where the bones have been unearthed.
Arrowheads were found in great
numbers about the spot and many
years ago some persons dug into what
is known as an Indian mound" and
took from il number of things
