splendid talk along what had been accomplished for the farmers by co-operation in grain selling and what the future held in store along the development of both selling and buying under this plan. He paid tribute to the good management of the business here, which was shown by net earnings of more than the entire capital stock during the first year. The stockholders were all feel-* ing good • over the success of the enterprise and left the meeting with substantial sums In checks for shares of the earnings. The report of the manager showed a gross profit of $3,396.82 on the 2,621 tons of coal handled during the year. The coal and grain accounts were ,not kept separately last year, but will be this year, and each stockholder purchasing his coal from the company will get his coal at actual net cost. This will mean a nice little sum to the larger users of coal and a few dollars each, to the smaller users. A printed detailed report of the business done by the company last year will probably be issued soon to the stockholders. At least this should be done.
