FARMERS JOIN
FOR CREAMERY
New Cooperative Planned
When Efforts Fail for
Joint Merger

La Moure, N. D., Nov. 10.-P)-
Farmers in this region are now per-
manently organized with the inten-
ton of starting a farmers cooper
alive creamery at La. Mourc, accord
ing to John HUSKY, dairy commits
sioner in the state department Of
agriculture.
La Moure already has creamery
owned and operated by Melinc
Brothers. 1t was planned that the
farmers organization would buy out
the private creamery, but failure to
come to an agreement on purchase
has temporarily deadlocked arrange
ments.
AS the farmers are determined to
have a cooperative creamery and
will build one even though they do
not obtain the creamery now Oper-
ating, HUSKY said, he will attempt
to bring about an adjustment SO the
sale may be completed.
HUSKY feels it is a mistake if the
two parties cannot agree.
He says ito have two creameries
at this location will bring tremen-
dous handicaps to both parties. The
volume of cream that could be
brought to this point hardly war;
rants operation of two crcameries.
1t would bring about sacrifice on the
part of both parties which would
overshadow any benefit that might
result in butterfat price through hav-
ing two markets."

LEPER FINALLY
GETS FREEDOM
Escaped Confinement Several
Times But Is Now Declared
Cured

Washington, Nov. 19.-(AP)-
John Early, the leper, whose love
for his native mountains Of North
Carolina gave health authorities
much trouble and newspapers much
copy, is going home again.
But this time he goes, not as q
fugitive from a lepers' asylum, but
with the benediction of the authori-
ties. The United States public
health service has announced that
Early has "recovered' and will be
released sometime in November
from the National Leper home in
Carville, La.
The public health service terms
Early's case another triumph in
modern medicine" Although he
bears on his face and body scars
of the disease he is believed to be
well. Periodic tests will be made
but there seems scant danger of q
relapse.
Although Early's frequent es-
capes from institutions where he was
confined caused vexation at the
time, health authorities seem in
clined to think that his absences
without leave were for the best.
They credit him with creating SEN
timent that aided in passing the law
placing lepers under the care of the
public health service and also credit
him with helping keep the country
aware of the fact that it had a lep-
rosy problem.
He made an unauthorized appear
ance in Washington in 1923 and
registered at q downtown hotel but
he caused his greatest stir in 1927
when he fled back to his old home
near Tyron, North Carolina, and
procured rifle as insurance against
more confinement. Residents Of the
section petitioned the surgeon gen.
eral to suspend the federal law COW
ering the segregation of lepers and
to let the man spend his days in self
imposed isolation in section of the
North Carolina hills. TIE petition

Early's rifle did not keep him from
going back to Carville.
