TEE M'HENRY PLAINDEALER FtHMLlSHED EVERY THURSBA^if P.- G. SCHREINER Otfie* In Bank Building Telephone *-W < TERMS Or SUBSCRIPTION: On» Ye®r tlJt Six Month*. 7§c Three Months, Mr Thursday, March 15, 1917 MILK MARKETING COMPANY (CO-OPERATIVE MILK, MARKET­ ING CO WILL BE ORGANIZED Company Ready to Elect Directors and Begin Active Business With 5,000 Shareholders ̂ j The completion Of the Milk Pro­ ducers' Co-operative Marketing com- ! pany seems to be one of the foremost thoughts in the mind of the dairy. farmer at this time. Misrepresenta- , •tions and misconceptions having caused some hindrance and delay, it •Would seem timely to briefly state some of the facts and the purposes it is the intention of this company to serve for its members. j Selling Agency i It will be a selling agency--a sort of a clearing house for all of the milk--selling it collectively and co­ operatively in a business-like manner, using all the present outlets for the milk just as long as the buyers are willing to pay its market value and place it on the table of the consumer at a reasonable price. The dealer 'n the past has taken advantage of the unorganized dairymen and forced the price way below the cost of produc­ tion and should the dealer continue to take advantage of the producer and consumer this company proposes to place the • milk. on the table of the consumer at a reasonable price, thru other .channels easily available to them. Capital Stock The capital stock of the company is to be one-half million dollars; number of shares, ten thousand; par value, $50 a .share, non-assessable; each pro­ ducer to own at lea~t one share, five being the limit. No one can buy shares unless he be a dairy farmer cr dairy farm owner and agrees to place the selling of his milk in the hands of the company. The com­ pany agrees to find a sale for the 'milk, all milk to be pure and clean and up to standard; one uniform price to all ca5i shippers; one uniform price to bottling and condensing districts; all surplus milk to be taken care of by the. Marketing company. All members' milk not disposed of at the regular market price, the loss in price to the producer will be paid out of the company's reserve fund, which will be provided for. Receiving Stations Receiving stations will be estab­ lished ift the country, wh^re and when needed to care for surplus milk •when no other market is available. Receiving stations may become nec­ essary in the city of Chicago, where milk can at all times be furnished in a wholesale way to buyers. Sinking and Protection Fund This fund will be provided by re­ taining a small commission, about one per cent, out of each member's milk check, to be set aside for regular run­ ning expenses; to make good, losses, if any; to make good and co-operate with members for milk that might not have found a market at the reg­ ular market price. At the end of each period of six months the balance of protection fund on hand will be paid back to members prorata for £he amount of milk produced during the Expired period. Laws and Inspection Just and reasonable laws will be demanded for the protection of the great dairy interests, and reasonable and common sense city • inspection laws will be insisted on. Advertising An advertising campaign will be inaugurated to place before the housewife of Chicago the great food value of mHk, showing that one quart of milk is of equal food value with eight eggs and thirty cents worth of | beefsteak, and is the cheapest food j that can be jS-fiibed on the table, thus ' insuring a greater demand and con-' sumption of milk, and building up a stronger generation. Quarantine Insurance and Protection ' In case the dairy of any member is quarantined, the company proposes to help share a part of the loss, not to exceed 75 per cent. This will prove a great protection and benefit to the new beginner. j Sale of Milk' Assured ! The sale of each member's milk will be assured. The old cry ol "What will I do with my milk if Borden or Bowman or some other dealer will not have mercy on me at contract |day?" will be a thing of the past. Ten thousand producers standing back of you and you back of them, all ' standing together like one man, and backed by capital--real, solid, cold capital, not bluff and hot air as here­ tofore--a business proposition, pure and simple. The little unscrupulous dealer in the city, who is now buying milk and never intending to pay for it, and the price cutter will have to fur­ nish security or get out of the busi­ ness. A great protection for the farmer as well as the honest dealer. I . Sale of Stock ' Any renter or farm owner, owning stock, wishing to go out of the dairy business, may sell his share back to the ̂ company at the price he paid for > it, plus a reasonable interest. Management The company will be managed by a board of directors to be elected by : the stockholders. The first meeting I of stockholders will be called as soon ' as five.thousand shares have been sold land one-half of stock sold has been . p a i d f o r ; i n o t h e r w o r d s , s o o n a s ] five thousand shareholders have each paid S25.00 cash the company will be ready for election of directors and begin active business. Local Management Each local, where there are ten or more stockholders, shall form a local and elect a milk board and a buying committee if desired, who shall look after the interests of its respective local, subject, however, to the ap­ proval and co-operation with the gen­ eral board of directors and officers. Safety First All officers handling any qash of the company shall be required to give sufficient bonds satisfactory to the board of directors*. so as at- all times to assure to the stockholders abso­ lute safety for its cash and securities. All cash subscribed and not acquired for immediate use is to be placed where it may draw interest, and where it may be at command at any day it may be needed. Claims Against the Company No claims against the company will be paid until after examination aftd approval by the finance committee, when an order will be drawn on the treasurer, signed by the president and secretary of the company.

"ALIEN SOULS" With Sessue Hayakawa, the Noted Japanese Actor, This Evening : ' f Sessue .Hayakawa, the noted Jap­ anese actor, will be seen at Die Cen­ tral this (Thursday) evening, March 15, in the Jesse L. Lasky production of "Alien Souls," a thrilling photo- drama written especially for him by Hector Turnbull, author of "The Cheat," in which play Hayakawa es­ tablished himself as one of the most distinguished actors of the day. It is a Paramount attraction. For the past two years, after hav­ ing starred with a number of motion picture companies, Mr. Hayakawa has been under contract with the Lasky organization and has appeared in the productions "The Clue," "The Secret Sin" and "The Cheat." His popular­ ity has become so great that in re­ sponse to public demands he' will be starred at the head of a company of his own. Hayakawa is a nephevJ of the" fa­ mous Japanese actor, Otto Kawakami, and came tp this country to study the English drama and Viras the first Niponese to ever play Shakspearian classics in his native tongue in the , leading theatres of Japan. In "Alien Souls" Hayakawas is seen as a wealthy' dealer in Japanese curios and is deeply in love with a young Japanese girl, to whom he was betrothed when a child of three and for whom he is supplying an educa­ tion at a leading American school for girls. ' <:' How this beautiful young Japanese girl falls into the clutches of a money- mad young American, how she is fin- ' ally brought to realize that the East and the West can never -meet, is graphically yhown in a number of thrilling and unusual scenes. • Hayakawa is supported by Tsuru Aoki, beautiful and clever niece of the famous Japanese Bernhardt, Madam Yacco, and surrounded by a cast of unusual excellence, including such prominent artists as Grace Benham, Earle Foxe, Florence Smythe, Robert j Grey, Isabelle Malone 1 and others. I The production was made for the ' Lasky company under the direction of Frank Reicher and is considered one of the most lavish and beautiful of the many splendid productions by the company. The photography is of a little more than the usual Lasky excellence and, according to rpeorts, "Alien Souls" | will create a sensation when present- ; ed here. • !
