Pierce of Belvidere, Charles *Ss|l. Francis of Woodstock and William 'eiss of W aukegan were duly elected atthe « of last week, when W. F. Schilling, president of the Twin City Milk Producers' eseocistieat of Miliimfiiis, out Um4 a plan ofsaeeeasf^ cooperation thatwaa a rea iatpfcillii be itoaadience. Were it not for. the fact* that his plan has been pvt into iplhetion and 3uccesefaily carried out fbr the past seven years under his own super- j Bai-nes vision, it mould seem tike a vision But tiie real facta outlined by this learned man were to be looked into by every man iateaeeted in agriculture today, be he farmer, business man or shaply a consumer of agricultural products When we consider that every dollar brought into this community thru the sale of dairy products and used here is a direct income to every individual while if this product shipped out of here and sold on a foreign market all the profits of which are used in the upbuilding of another community, that community is the beneficiary at a loss to us (as a eoaQteunity). Therefore, when we consider that the Twin City milk producers thru organization have received for 100 pounds of m|lk on an average for 1922 of $2.44, while we have received bat $1.86, they have benefitted their people 56 cents on every 100 pound of mflk made for the entire year. Here's how it was done. Every man on a contract, «very dealer on a contract--factories and equipment sufficient to fOrnish the dealers any kind of a dairy product he desired at any time in any amount. Caring for the skim milk in such a way to bring the highest price to the producer. Weighing and testing at their own plants sod selling on those weights and teste, the dealers taking it away in their own trucks to do with it as they liked. What a contrast to conditions that exist here, where we dump our product onto the market and get what the dealer tells us we can have for it. (If we don't want to take his price we simply take it home and drink it). To illustrate: Your grocer doesn't tefl you to go behind the counter and fill up a sack with sitgur, take it home and weigh it and in thirty days send him in the money. He couldnt exist (ong under those conditions, but we are trying it. The remedy for this condition, as Mr. Schilling pointed out, was to get organised 100 per cent, get our plants ready for operation (we have thirty now), hire a good manwhen the time arrives to sell our ntflic pit a price on it and if the dealer deasn't want it start our plants to working. This plan, as presented by Mr. Schilling, was received with much enthusiasm aa evtdsnosd by the hearty support and ao-operation given our fteid men who are working in this community. Much encouraged by this support, renewed energy is #iptayed all along the line and a hope Ayr 100 per cent NEXT CO CLUB The not regular meeting of the KcBMrjr Community club will take plaee on Taaaday evening, March 13. President Overton feels that matters concerning the read proposition will have so shaped themselves by that time as to enable the committee to give a very satisfactory report.

Nix, and placed into the hands of his parishioners last Sunday morning, was one of the largest ever issued in the history of the local parish. According to the printed report, the total retieigfts, from all sources, during the fiscal year, beginning Jan. 1, 1922, hnd ending December 81, 1928, ainoaated to tTie round sum of $1*880 .30, while the expenses during the same year totaled $l?,8gt.05. Of the total receipts JJ .&OO represents legacies from the estate of Ger trade L. Miller and Michael and Catherine Justen, the former's legacy to the parish being $1,000, while the latter left $600. The total net receipts of the bazaar, as held last fall, totaled $4,005.02.

At a l&earing in the county court on Tuesday of this week on the sewerage matter County -Judge Charles P. entered a judgment of confirmation of the assessment s^ni! as had previously been modified under the direction of the attorneys for th)je petitioners. / The matCer of the site for (the installation of the purification^' plant was also practically decided on.

Beller was not represented while ^ Sunday and holiday collecin court an appraisal value was placed Itions brought >n the neat sum of $1,713.45. The Easter collection totaled $677.00 while the Christmas givers turned in $785.56. ^ Expenses incurred during the year court, which was allowed on"their jinohu1e $1235.72 for interest; sanctupromise to file an appeal bond in the |ary *M86 0°; Rhineheimer Bros., !$1,290.00; pastor's salary, $1,200; N.

Notes paid during the year totaled $3,200 Outstanding notes against the parish at the beginning of the year 1923 totaled $22,660.00 During the year twenty-two children were baptised, thirty-three children received first holy communion, ninety Received the sacrament of con firmation. There wore six marriages before the altar and two mixed marriages. There were ten deaths. The indebtedness of the parish, thru the payment of notes and floating debts of last year, was reduced $6,500. It is the hope of the pastor that the present spirit of the parishioners will upon his holdings. The objectors, represented by Attorney Arthur Baddey of Waulcegan, prayed for an appeal to the supreme sum of $500 in thirty days, their bill of exception to be filed within thirty days. This document, we are informed, is now being prepared for filing, which seems to indicate that they are sincere in, their declaration of carrying their case to the state's highest court. - Sewerage boosters and members of the board of local improvements fed that the appeal will do the objectors no good and, according to our information, the local body intends to go right ahead and advertise for bids on the proposed Improvement. The member*; of the board as well as many of our citizens are very anxious that the work of this proposed improvement be started just as early as possible with the thought in mind that the future as it has during our streets could be put back in pass- T«ar 1922 and in this event and able condition before the advent of our j ""'e88 unforeseen circumstances arise, real busy season.
