the patrons to take better care Of
their cream, to get rid of rusty
cans and to deliver sweet cream
always so that the operator can
deliver a better product. He spoke
Of grade and quality, and the duty
Of the patron to his cooperative
plant. He said rusty cans give
a metallic flavor to cream and but
ter, and he urged sanitary equip
ment and the repair of the old sep
arator for better test. He compli-
mented the officers and operator
and advised the patrons to take
good care Of their business which
took years and years to build to
its present standard.
Emil Selvig, Of Midland Cooper

cooperative movement would play
a large part in the retention of
democracy in this country. He told
the patrons to use both hands in
the cooperative program; to be in
terested in the price Of things they
produce as well as the price of
things they buy. Mr.. Selvig traced
the economic situations from past
years to the present day, and out
lined their effects In the world to-

Local Boy In
Charge of US.
Weather Bur.
Finds Time to Build
Model Planes Which
Prompted Service Entry

Dudley Morse, in charge of the
weather office at Elgin Field, Val
pariso, Florida, now being enlarg-
ed under a more than a million
dollar project, finds that working
on the real thing hasn't dulled his
pursuit of building model airplanes,
his hobby of long standing, he
wrote to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon v. Morse, of this city.
According to the Pensacola News
the war department has added an
other huge project totalling 81, 205,.
600 for Elgin Field in addition to
original appropriations that total
led $2,478,00 for improvements.
After spending a year in the air
corps at Randolph Field, Texas,
Dudley was transferred to Elgin
Field last September and placed in
charge Of the weather office. He
has intimated from the outset that
Elgin was to be larger than Ran
dolph.
In December Dudley was
transferred to the Fourth
Weather Squadron, q move that
apparently means advancement
but which has as yet offered
no change in his status. He
finds time for his model plane
building, for in his letter of
January 81 he said, Started on
q AN inch Flying Fortress
the other day. I have estimat-
ed that I will spend zoo hours
making it."
It was that model plane building
interest that prompted Dudley to
enlist in the Air Corps two years
ago.
OF Elgin field and its new en-
largements he said that the field
Is largely for experimental work
by trained pilots and squadrons Of
planes which fly in from various
parts Of the country to go through
planned experiments. It could al
most be considered q research lab
oratory. About half the size OF
Stearns County, there Is ample
room for these tests and for the
eleven landing fields called for in
original plans.
New appropriations are to in
clude barracks, mess building, Of
ficers' mess building, officers quar-
tiers, eight supply roms, eight adj
ministration buildings, q hospital,
post exchange, quartemaster mot
or repair shop, theatre. four ware
houses, six operating buildings, a
