THE LITTLE IVA IN
RICHMOND CENTER
sssseess essoessesssss
(The Republican Observer

tine R0puDllCdn ODSSTVeI,
Richmond Center. Wisconsinl
1t may be surprising to some to
realize that at least the principal
of the IVA was demonstrated#in
Richmond Center years ago. y
There was a local preacher who
had quite a family while he drew
somewhat of small salary.
He conceived the idea that if
he possessed a milk cow one of
the heavy expenses of family
maintenance might be reduced.
He discussed the proposition
with some of his pensioners.
One member of his congregation
said he would give him a cow;
another volunteered to furnish
hay, another straw for bedding.
A neighbor gave the minister the
use of a barn in which to keep
the cow, and store the feed.
Finding that the cow gave more
milk than the family required the
minister sold the surplus to
neighbors. Inasmuch as he had
not a dollar invested in the cow,
that the feed, bedding and barn
were furnished free, he readily
saw that there was big profit de-
rived from the milk he Sold In
fact he was soon able to lay up
enough milk money to enable him
to buy another cow. Forgetting
to tell the members of the church
that he had the second cow he
was able to get other friends to
furnish additional hay, straw and
feed and the fellow who allowed
him the use of the barn also per-
mitted him to keep the other COW
there.
At this point the preacher COM
mitted the error of arriving at the
conclusion that the milkmen of
The town were robbers. When he
saw them charging the prices
they were getting he offered to
sell milk at slightly less price.
He even preached a sermon on
the crime of profiteering.
One of the milkmen was a
member of that church. When
he learned that his preacher was
canvassing his customers to take
milk from him and was also tell
ing his brethren how their milk
man was robbing them, he got
angry.
He sat down and figured out
that he couldn't afford to buy
cows, build barns, furnish hay
and make delivery at the same
price as. could a competitor who
didn't have a cent invested, got
his feed and barn room for moth
ing and had customers come after
| their milk.
The fnilkman went to the mat
on the proposition. 1t didn't Nke
him long to convince other MEM
bers of the congregation that the
practice wasn't fair, especially
when he backed his arguments
by letting them know that if it
continued he would cease making
his large yearly contribution to
the church.
Brother churchmen quit haul
ing hay to the preachers cows
and the neighbor asked for barn
rent. When that came about the
preacher discovered that to buy
everything made his expenses
run so high that it didn't even
pay to keep a COW to furnish milk
for his own family,
There was a perfect little iva
set up. With the federal govern
ment furnishing everything, even
to writing off a loss of 81, O00, 900
in single year, no private COM
pany can compete with it any
more than the regular milkman
could compete with the preach

With the annual coveption of
firemen opening in Key West
next Monday morning with
large attendance, composed of
people from every part of the
state, Chief Pinder believes it
will be time for the people of
Key West to doll up the city
bit and make preparations to
give the visitors a grand recep-
ton as the Firemen's Convention
will bring more people to the
state than were ever here before
on a similar occasion, and the
chief believes that Key West
should be cleaned up and beauti-
fled to the utmost in order to
make a favorable impression on
the large number of people who
will come with the convention
lists, beside the members of the
different departments, many of
whom will be on their first trip
to the Island City. Chief Pinder
suggests that on Tuesday of the
week the people should begin
decorating their homes and places
of business and setting the city in
order for extending to the army
of visitors a royal reception,
entertaining them and in every
way endeavoring to make their
stay in the city delightful and
memorable one. In the matter
of decorations the chief would be
pleased to suggest ways and
means for accomplishing this and
will cooperate with those con-
tie m plating Identification in
every way possible and hopes
everyone will be prepared to join
in the mvqemIent.

to be heard at intervals of half
hour until shutdown this evening
while all the flags will be at half

who died in Paris last Wednesday
and was entombed there follow
ing services today.
Editorial Comment: The Cii-
zen heartily concurs in the opin-
ion that Key Vests most impera-
tive need is an additional high
class tourist hotel. So evident
has the need become that ii would
be well for the city to donate all
the golf course property should it
be found necessary as an induce

declared the victor.
