oa mone his THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1981 - | Central Cooperative Ass BUSINESS HANDLED AND EARNINGS HIGH DESPITE CONDITIONS Growth Shown Despite Fact Cars Arriving at St. Paul Market Decreased NET EARNINGS $121,465.09 Facts Are Brought Out in An- nual Report of Norris K. Carnes, Manager St. Paul, Feb. 12.—Notwithstanding the severe conditions existing in 1930, which caused a falling off in receipts nt the South St. Paul market, the Central Cooperative association ugain set a new record in cars handled, in the percentage of business handled, and in net earnings. sts were brought out in the eport of Norris K. Carnes, al menager, at the annual meet- ing of the association Wednesday. Total cars received at the South St. Paul market decreased 567 cars, but Central handled 581 more cars. This includes the truck figures reduced to a car basis. Central handled 32.23 per cent of the total rail business, an increase of over two per cent. Net earnings were $121,465.09 in compari- son with $117,232.09 in 1929 and $22,- 003.63 in 1921. Hauling by truck to the South St. Paul market is steadily increasing. Central's truck business was increas- cd from 2858 cars in 1929 to 4,111 cars in 1930 an increase of 43 per cent. Central in 1930 handled a total of 21.5, ver cent of the total truck busine: comparison with 213 per cen 1929. The me:nbership, Mr. Carnes re- ported, also increased in 1930. There are now 740 livestock shipping asso- ciations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and Mon- tana, whieh are stockholders, holding common stock and 4,116 preferred stockholders. The value of the stock is $29,841.00 and ‘on this small amount | cf stock outstanding Central last year did a business of $32,032,176.82. Mr. Carnes urged the benefit to farmers | which would come in greater concen- | tration of shipments to Central. Big Volume Helps “It is interesting to note that the cost of handling your business de- creased as the volume increased,” he | sad. “January, 1930, was the month ; of largest receipts with 2,262 cars and the cost of handling a car was $8.39. | July, 1930 was the month of lightes i teceipts with 1,127 cars and the cost | of handling was $19,404. This shows | that when the business is doubled the | cost of handling is reduced 50 per| cent. Every additional load of live- | stock which you can direct to your own organization means a lower ex- pense, additional earnings and a greater return to the livestock pro- ducers. You can better the service rendered and increase your dividends by keeping your organization employ- ed to about capacity. I am afraid that some of our patrons do not ap- preciate che advantage to be derived | through the control of volume. The days we have 50 per cent or better of | the total business of the South St.) Paul market are the days we can real- ly do a real job of selling for you. On those days we have bargaining pow- er. “Central paid in 1930 an eight per tent dividend on stock and a 30 per cent patronage dividend, a total of $107,781.07. Net earnings for the tine years Central has been in busi- ness total $1,031,032.35. “There seems to exist quite a dif- ference of cpinion as to what should and can ve done to place agriculture on a basis with other business enter-4 prises. It is my opinion that the greatest help will come through co- cperative organizations owned and controlled by the farmers. These or- ganizations can live and render a} service if they are patronized. I sin- cerely hope that all of you will go ome resolved to assist in every way possible to build up the volume of Your organization. Service and earn- ings will increase with volume.” ‘W. 8. Moscrip, president of the ‘Twin City Milk Producers association, made an eloquent plea to the live- stock men to protest the great dam- age that is being done to the dairy in- dustry by the ruling of the Internal Revenue Bureau of the treasury de- partment that oleomargarine colored with more than 10 per cent vegetable oil shall not be taxed. The law pro- vides a 10-cent tax on colored oleo, but this ruling makes the law inef- fective. Interests of the livestock zaen and dairy men are mutual, he said. as low prices of butter reduces purchasing power of the farmer, which hits the manufacturers of pro- | ducts the farmers buy and the fac- tory hands who eat the meat pro- ducts. Besides the vegetable oil be- ing sent into this country duty free is being used to replace the oleo oils from animals. This means the only market for these oleo oils will be for tallow. | Wisconsin Man Sjaks Dr. B. H. Hibbard, chief of the De- partment of Agricultural Economics, | University of Wisconsin, spoke on the world conditions of agriculture. He said that the present situation was critical; that there was a world over- | supply of food and that farmers were STICKERS in WHOSE AT A PRICE ; FOR ME, A COTTAGE, HOME AND_HEALTH, - N eeee AND A COV SUFFICE / Inthe above verse three words of four ad Soaring after love 25000 joins forces with him.

Later the joins’the cruise in The message was authentic. I knew there was such a restaurant in Manila. But what was the “Black Spot’? I hurried into the old Spanish section of the city, found the dingy, indigo-colored adobe building, swung through the wide open double doors and sat down at the nearest empty table. I had been told that anything or nothing could happen, any hour of day or night, in this Place where Utuado, a Filipino, very cleverly carved ‘the faces of tourists on cocoanut rinds and sold them at fabulous prices as souvenirs. I ORDERED coffee and paid for it at once with an American half dollar. The girl, a slattern native with a@ wilted red hibiscus in her tousled black hair, immediately brought my change. I took the pieces languidly from the tray, a dime and several nickels, push- ing the dime back as a tip. As I did this, I noticed a curious black disk which I had, at first glance, overlooked. “For you, senor.” the girl said significantly 1 stared at the disk. lt was about the s:ze of a dollar, of cardboard. Was this the Black Spot? t was left here for you.” ‘By whom?” A stranger. A woman? Along A woman with a man.” ‘Describe them!” “I was not here at the time. I did not see them.

The cooking destroys the poisonous properties of the botulinus organism which is so fatal. Canned goods show- ing any signs of spoilage should never be used as food. Botulism apparently occurs only in meats and non-acid vegetables such as corn, peas, beans, and asparagus, Tomatoes, for example, are of the acid type and do not harbor the botulinus infection. Fruits also are safe from this danger. All meats are subject to botulinus poisoning, and the impor- tance of thorough cwking before use (the equivalent of 10 minutes’ boil- ing) cannot be too strongly empha- economics specialists Canned vegetables to be used in ‘salads should be cooked upon removal from the can, then cooled and used immediately.
