J Opsahl and run - under tle head of “Communications.” © To those who| are interested in building Beltrami' county into the best dairy county in the state, the suggestions made in this article may be interesting. One thing appears certain. The cream- ery is not organized at present on the best basis possible. It is hoped | that' the meeting Saturday will de- velop some definite plans. The columns of the Pioncer are open at ! _ all tiges to signod -cxticles of * 300 | words or less. A long-standing mystery is cleared up by a statement from Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, the novelist, short-story writer and essayist. ‘'She says: “Woodrow is really my name. My husband and Woodrow Wilson are cousins named after uncles with the surnames of Wilson and Woodrow respectively, and the Cmistinn names Thomas and James; and ‘.rhen the boys grew up my husband dropped the James and Woodrow( Wilson dropped the Thomas. So I really can’t help my name, nor that I am a woman.”—New York Even- ing Post. Following the alarm given by the fire bell early Sunday morning to which about fifty members of the fire department together with other citi- zens responded, several suggestions have been made which are believed would improve the department’s ser- vice and also save needless effort. Une suggestion is that the city snould be divided into fire districts so that following the blowing of the fire whistle, a second' signal could be tlowr showing the npproxlmate lo- «ation of the fire. Jn such a case, if the alarm was telephoned to head~ quarters from the cemetary or lake shore district, firemen living in that vicinity could go at once to a com- mon meeting point and save the time necessary for a trip down town. As it is ‘at present, each man must re- port to headquarters before he knows Where the fire is—unléss it has such a start that it can be seen, Another suggestion is that as'soon as the fire is out, the whistle 'should be blown for one long blast. In wany rases persons living at a dis- lance from the fire hall hesitate dressing and going a mile or so ‘to find that it was a false alarm or that .the fire was a small one and already put out. It has been also suggested that the first alarm be used to bring out a small group of e, of about twenty in number, different groups being on duty each week. If it seen that addi- tional men are -needed, a second “alarm may be rung calling ou the rest of the department and volunteer citizens. : .

(The Babcock test is built to give an average gage of butter that can, be sccured from a pound of butter fat Iby ‘the'ordinary :' ¢hurn methods at |home and this 17 to 20 per cent .of over-run, means what can be saved with modern up-to-date machinery.) We have a good modern plant here and T believe it should be re-organ- ized as the Bemidji ‘Farmers, ‘Mer-, vhauts, aud DEUKETS 1 Uo-operative Creamery association. ' An -associa- tion of bankers and merchants could get together and sign a guarantee to the bankers to furnish ample:funds | with which to run the creamery and livered from day to day, and as a protection to those guarantors the banks that furnished such funds dur- the board of managers and . should, see to it that the business of the creamery was handled ‘in.a prompt and businesslike way; that:the but- “er was shipped-out promptly to re- liable consumers and that collections were make with equal promptness, and that no unnecessary leaks' wers allowed in the local managemient: Tf this plan was carried out-the butter could be made, sold and collected for inside of 30 days. 'The plan of co- centralizing plant. organize co-operative farmers’ cream Toutes, or association at every rail- road shipping town; at which - there is no local creamery within a reason- pound of butter fat furnished by an individual or such co-operative units, would share in the dividends by the local creamery without any ‘necessity of subscribing for shares of - stock. ‘With this proviso, that from stutions where there:is located a farmers co- operative creamery, the Bemidji plant should not solicit trade, but if cream was shipped ‘froih’there vul- untarily, those patrons would receive the fiat price per pound withiout any intérest in the’ dividends: The purpose should be to encour- age 'thé upbuilding of * co-operative plants throughout the " county. in- stead ‘of attempting ‘to bréak ' them down. The'payments ‘of sich cream shipments” to be''made ‘through the local banks of the home town, or Be- midji, on plan as follows: The 'merchiant or head man of a cream route to fill out a duplicate bill' of the '¢réam shipped to the creamery, one copy going to the creamery manager and one to the local 'bank, such bank to advance the money during the month to the pat- rons at once and collect same from the creamery as the butter was sold, and the payment to be protected for such advancement by the Company guaranteeing the working capital. Need Bigger Supplies of Cows Another feature to be worked out jointly with the creamery is for a few merchants to lorm a guarantee company, subscribing the net capital stock with which to bring in an ample supply, of cows and distribute, among farmers in this vicinity, that would agree to become patrons of the creamery, and to those farmers that needed credit and would agree to ap- ply a certain part, say 40 to 50 per cent of their cream checks on the as they w re fomerly. purchase price of these cows, this 5 | management- paid ge&qw 1he u 1 ing each month should -be’ part of |1t operation should be as a co-operative th The manager to | able distance of Bemidji, and every|; Buarantee company would endorse the' farmiers’ papers so that they could sgoure money from their near- est bank with which to pay for the cows, and this same nomnlny wo\ml care of cows any of the those cows and replace them in oth- er good hands.
