COMMITTEE HOPES TO BRING BACK THE DAIRYMEN WHO HAVE DESERTED THIS VILLAGE Mr. ^J&Htor--Believing that your readers are anxious to know just what we, as a company,. have done and are dping in this factory proposition, we take the liberty of giving you a brief outline of the work we have under­ taken. in the first place, we are working on the theory that if we as'a dairy com munity are to see once more the pros perity of the past, for ourselves and our town we must work for a proposi tion that will appeal to those men who have deserted us. We must present to them a proposition so forcible that those seventy-four men who have seen (it to cast their lot with other towns will be glad to come back to us. We believe that our business men are en titled to that business aud we also be lieve that we men, who are today full equipped to produce milk as high in quality and as pure as any dairymen in the world, should be entitled to the same consideration as our own neigh bors at least, who are producing milk under the same conditions, but at a greatly increased price. We are not trying to figure out the loss to our dairymen because of those conditions nor are we trying to tell rfie business men what their losses are, but we do say that the loss of this business to them and the loss to our dairymen affects every individual in this com munity. Therefore it is up to us to figure out a proposition that will rem­ edy those conditions and with that idea in view we are today investigating every phase of the marketing end of our dairy industry. l^he best proposition that we have to present today is that of starting the factory as a co-operative creamery. If it is the wish of the majority of our daymen that their cream be made in to butter and the skim milk be re­ turned to them to take the place of high priced feed in the raising of cat tie and hogs, we belieVe that their wishes should be granted. However if there be some who do not desire to market their production in that way we have before us a proposition to deal with a firm who will handle it in any form we may desire, either as cream, whole milk, butter or cheese. We can also dispose of our skim milk at 10 cents per gallon if we so-desire. On the other hand, we have three different firms who are investigating the proposition we have to present to them here and it looks now to be only a few days until we can present to you their proposition of taking over the factory and running it according to their own ideas. When you realize that we have a $4,000 plant here that will be put into a No. 1 shape, an ice house already filled and with the farm­ ers in a receptive mood for anything fair, it must occur to yoir that someone is going to profit from those conditions. There surely is a man somewhere who will grasp this proposition and the wonder is that it hasn't been grasped before this time. However, there is yet plenty of time and no proposition will be accepted until you dairymen can be heard from. No meeting will be held until the plans can be worked into a presentable condition for your consideration and when that time ar­ rives you will be called upon to decide just what you desire. In the meantime we will ask the co­ operation and support of you all, and thanking vou in advance for the same, we are, Very respectfully, W M. J. WELCH, F. H. WATTLES, F. E. MARTIN, Com. of the McHenry Creamery Co. The Trey O' Hearts a* Thursday evening.

Lumley of Woodstock and during his stay at the county seat he became acquainted with the court house work in general. He is a bright young fellow and with the experience gained in Chicago and Woodstock should be able to give the public good service.

We feel sure that he will give all legahmatters his very best attention and will appre­ ciate any and all favors that the public niay see fit to bestow upon him. Our best wishes for success are ex­ tended to this young man and we sincerely hope that he will some day be ranked among the county's most able lawyers.
