Two new men, elected at the an
nual meeting Of the Sank Lake
Cooperative Creamery Association
held Monday in the Community
Club rooms, will appear on the
board Of directors. They are Will
Beste, who takes the place of
Charles Kortan, long time member
Of the board, and Jos. Zirbes, who
takes the place Of Adam Orth, who
resigned recently. George Strauss
was unanimously reelected as a
member Of the board.
The morning session was given
over to the reading Of reports,
election of directors and the adop-
ton Of amendments to the articles
of incorporation and a new set of
bylaws. The articles Of incorpora-
ton did not conform to the state
law, said President Lying, and the
change was necessary to bring
them UP to the state cooperative
requirements. A change in the
articles Of Incorporation suggesting
that any member be not permitted
to own more than so shares, instead
Of 100 shares, was adopted.
The annual report read by Sec
rotary George Strauss, revealed
that a total of 562, 453 pounds of
butterfat was received during the
year, Of which ST., 842.2 pounds was
sweet cream and 44,6108 was No.
1 cream. 561,849.3 pounds Of but
terfat was made into butter. The
entire report showed a very salts
factory gain in business, and a
large gain In butter manufactured.
In opening the afternoon session,
o. J. Lying, president of the associa-
ton, congratulated the stockhold-
ers on the purchase of the Blue
Valley creamery, and warned the
dairymen not to rest on their oars
and let the boat drift, because of
that accomplishment. He advised
cheaper operation and a better pro-
duct, in fact, he stated that Sank
Lake creamery would continue to
make the best butter possible. He
asked the cooperation Of all real
cooperators for the cooperative
program In general.
D. B. Caughren, president Of the
Community Club, who had been
asked for an official word of well
come, said in part: 1.-THE members
of this group represent the COM
munity and that which affects you
affects us, and that which effects
the resident Of the city affects the
farmer as well. At least, 7 hope
you share these sentiments with
your fellow townsmen." He con-
graduated the dairymen on the sue
cess Of their organization and hop
ed that their meeting would be
profitable.
Gus Levorson, Of Brooten, said
he was present to join with local
dairymen in the celebration Of q
great victory over the greatest CEN
tralixer Of the day. He gave a re
sumo Of the history Of the Blue
Valley since it located in Sank
Centre. He advised those present
to stick to their cooperative cream
cry and he dwelt on problems as
pertain to farming in general to-
day.

the auditing department Of the
state, gave an explanation Of the
articles Of incorporation as adopted
at the morning session. He gave
a resume Of cooperative laws, stat
