SENTINEL BUTT » COOPERATIVE MILL PAYING Joseph Kitchen Answers - Ani Editorial Question Published In Weekly Newspaper Because of an editorial in a local weekly’ paper, asking ‘for information concerning the success of the people’ of| Sentinel Butte in running ‘a coopera- tive mill, Joseph A. Kitchen, Commis- | sioner of Agriculture\and Labor, while | at his home following. the dinner. to | State Odfftcials at Beach, investigated the financial condition. Mr: Kitchen | is an officer in the mill, has been oné | of the stockholdérs throughout the life | of the enterprise and has been asso- | ciated with the mill from the begin- | ning. At the time of making the visit, Mr Kitchen found that the mill was run- ning more than full time to fill all the | demands made upon it, and that finan- cially it -was in a most prosperous | ‘condition, The information, requested in the! editorial, as furehed: by Mr. Kitchen | | follows: “Apropos to your editorial of De- cember 15th, which we note has been | copied verbatim ‘by many newspapers, } entitled, ‘Anent the Drake Mill,’ I am | very glad to-supply. you with this in- | formation: * | “The Sentinel - Butte So-operative Milling Company was organized about | six years ago at’ $25.00 per share; i $12,000.00 required for mill complete. No, dividend was paid the first year; at the end of the second season a cash dividend of 10 per cent for both ycars was paid. “In the original sale of stock, -ap- proximately, $8,000 of the $12,000 re- quired-was sold. In three years, fol- Jowing the two sears in which a div- idend was declared, a profit equal to, the deficient amount was,on hand and the directors voted to enter a forced sale of stock to all shareholders for 50 ‘per cont of the amount of their shares, which would be the same as the selling of about $4,000 of shares, entering the profits as stock sales. With the 10 per cent cash dividend, this makes a dividend, from the time the mill was built up to date, of 10 per cent per annum. “Tn making an inspection trip the miller advised me ‘they had at least 3,000 bushels of milling wheat on hand with some exchanges against it and a note for $500.00 géven in mak- ing wheat purchases over the amount the mill had in its working treasury. This note is all the paper thé mill has out. Out of current funds they re- cently »bought a motor for electric Power; -all taxes including the 1920 tax had been pid; 65 bbls of flour had*been sold the day before my visit; the mill had=been running nights but Was unable to meet the demands for flour. Farmers have come in over thirty miles and had to wait for flour, “The miller is paid $110.00, per) momh; his wife helps some in bovk- keeping without any other salary; in running nights, the extra man gets $3 per day. ‘This is all the help required. + The Mill is strictly co-operative, its | largest market is within a radius of ; 35 miles from the mill. “The farmer | brings his -wheat if of gogd milling qual: it is taken and he receives flour®uud bran in exchange. There is no freight, jobber, wholesaler, or any other factor to cause complaint, and any observer will notice with such a Jocal concern, where they themselves control and govern they would be to blame for losses ang farmers are not in the habit of blaming themselves. I think a fai restimate of the annual worth of the Mill to its locality, out- side of the investment and dividends, in effecting a cheaper price for flour | and mill feeds than would otherwise be obtained would be $4,000.00.” Miss Frederi | pointment she said Raine Frederick in “The Sting of the Lash” “A Soul Reclaimed---A Story of Undying Love!” Admission Adults 30c.

Indianapolis, thinks the old adage about a prophet! being without honor in his own coun- try, is a misprint. For, look what Lew has done!
