strength to any creamery and it is
hoped that they will see the ad-
vantage in joining with the farmers
of Sturgeon Lake township and the
western and southern ends of Win

cooperative creamery nearby in
this locality.

SETTLING BOUNDARY LINES

The United States Administrator at
Washington will doubtless give SER
ious consideration to the larger ques-
ton of the prestige and authority of
the International Joint Commission
before pressing for the reconsidera-
tion of an international agreement
which the commission arrived at,
unanimously, seven years ago. Pol
itical pressure has been brought to
bear on the Washington authorities
to bring about the reopening of the
whole question of measurement and
apportionment of waters of the Milk
River and the st. Mary River, which
are shared for irrigation purposes be-
tween Saskatchewan and Alberta on

LIVER

Doctors have discovered that liver
is an excellent food, that it is not
only food, but medicine for certain
kinds of serious ailments. This is
particularly true of calves liver.
Once upon a time, not so many
years ago, folks ate liver because they
had nothing else to eat. You pur-
chased beefsteak and the butcher
threw in some liver for the dog.
Now that liver is good for them and
expensive, people eat it.
With usual American business acu-
men we are meeting the unusual de-
mand for liver. We imagine that the
age limit on a calf for his liver has
been raised. Perhaps we shall also
feed the calf to develop an abnormal
ly large liver. That is what is being
done with the goose in Vienna.-Grand

BAN ON IODINE

Because iodine has been developed
as a source of bootleg alcohol, the
Prohibition Bureau has issued a reg
ulation to the effect that orders for
iodine in excess of fifty gallons a
month to any one buyer must be sub
mitted to prohibition administrators
for approval before being filled by the
manufacturers. Iodine on the market
contains ninety per cent alcohol and
while it is regarded as a minor source
of supply for bootleggers, it has been
causing much disturbance in the drug
trade and the new order is expected
to shut off much iodine from going
into illegal channels.-Canby News.

Sturgeon Lake Creamery.


Editor Askov American:
l am sorry that Mr.. c. S. Pulling
saw fit to write a letter in the AskOv
American to knock" the proposed
Sturgeon Lake. The letter was mis-
leading.
l am primarily interested in the
business development of Sturgeon
Lake, but l know that it's progress
is dependent upon an enterpriSing
farming community surrounding it.
| had the privilege to attend the
mass meeting when cooperative
creamery in Sturgeon Lake was pro-
posed and l also attended the COM
mittee meeting afterwards and l no.
ted that these meetings brought out
two facts:
First. A tentative canvass of the
territory tributary to Sturgeon Lake
indicated that there is a sufficient
number of cows to support a strong
creamery at Sturgeon Lake.
Second. There was enough inter-
est shown at the meetings to war
rant going ahead with the organiza-
ton. There were farmers in at
tendance from all parts of Winde-
mere and Sturgeon Lake townships.
The reasons for proposing a far
mer's cooperative creamery at Stur-
geon Lake are numerous. Sturgeon
Lake is the logical geographical To-
cation for such an enterprise. 1t is
conveniently located for delivery of
cream from Sturgeon Lake, Winde-
mere. parts of Kettle River, and parts
of Bremen townships. And the roads
leading into these territories are fav-
orable during all seasons.
1t is a demonstrated fact that a
farmers cooperative creamery is the
nucleus of progressive dairying
community. 1t increases the land
demand and value within a radius of
many miles, and it also stimulates
the Improvement of herds as well as
furnishes an inducement to build
larger herds. In general, it is the
foundation for the successful up
building of a good dairying commu-
nifty.
The plan of the proposed co-opera-
tive creamery at Sturgeon Lake does
not necessitate the immediate out
lay of a single dollar by the far
mers. 1t only calls for their support
in the form of a guarantee to de-
liver their cream for a specified
length of time, and the subscription
to one share of stock at one hun
dred dollars par value, the payment
of this to be made by taking out two
cents per pound of butterfat from
the subscribers delivery of cream
until the share is paid for. And that
does not represent a gift to the
creamery. 1t is an investment in an
enterprise that will be of inestimable
value to all the farmers in the terri
tory adjacent to Sturgeon Lake and
the investment will continually bear
interest at six per cent. This plan
is not plan proposed by some far
mers locally but it was recommend
ed by Mr.. A. ]. Mcguire, general
manager of the Land O. Lakes
Creameries, Inc. The plan is sound
all the way through.
l appreciate the fact that the east
end and the north end of Windemere
township have great number of ex-
cellent farmers; farmers who will
look into the future and lay their
plans for steady progress. And those

THE McNARY BILL

1t is claimed by proponents of the
McNary-Haugen bill that if that
measure is enacted and given fair
test the speculative wheat market
will no longer be necessary. This
would account for the opposition of
the grain exchanges of Minneapolis
and Chicago, and should be a valid
reason for giving it a trial. The bill
will probably pass Congress at the
present session, but whether it can
oe passed over a presidential veto is
a question. The two leading pro-
ponents of the measure, F w. Muir
ply and Thomas eastman, both of
Minnesota, one a Republican and the
other a Democrat, will be delegates
to their respective national conven-
tions and will fight for endorsement
of the measure in the two platforms.

Ludwig Roe, recently state COM
mander of the American Legion, has
an honorable war record but is not
militarist. He is of the opinion
that the horror and mockery Of war
with it's gangrene, it's stink, it's dis
ease and terror, should be put be-
tween the covers of school books and
the youth be required to read what
war actually is. He says, There are
war heroes, but war is not heroic"
and thinks we should be honest with
the kids and not continue to picture
war as glorious picnic.-Hutchinson
