HOLLANSBURG FOLK OWN CO-OPERATIVE STORE; IS SUCCESS By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Hollansburg and Washington, C. H., Ohio are about 100 miles apart, perhaps a trifle more as trucks travel, and It Is truck transportation which is now linking these two towns. Two large truck loads of creamery produce are hauled from Hollansburg, weekly, to the $1,000,000 plant at "Washington, C. H., this at the expense of the creamery folks, who also return the crates, cans, etc., free of cost. The loads consist of cream, eggs, country butter and live poultry. During the past week the Hollansburg Co-operative company sent 50 ten gallon cans of cream and 100 cases of eggs to the creamery, besides crates of chickens, country roll butter, etc. But this didn't make a cleanup, there

being 16 cases of eggs left over on Saturday. It is expected that the business will increase largely during the summer, the Hollansburg folks having been in business only since April, 10. C. C. Hawk, manager, states that he has really been surprised at the way business started off and at the dally receipts of produce and amount of sales. All Business Strictly Cash. The cash register tells the story, and 13 the bookkeeper, for everything is done on a cash basis. Every stockholding purchaser draws dividends, not on the amount of his stock, quarterly, but on the amount of his purchases, as bhown by his register slips. As those who do not own stock do not get percentages off on sales, no slips are issued to them. It has been decided ' that he first dividend or rebate will be five per cent, payable at the end of he first quarter. Goods are strictly one price to all. Gets 60,000 Lbs. of Sugar. "We had 157 members enrolled May 1," said Mr. Hawk, "and every member on record a few days earlier was allotted a 25-pound bag of sugar, and at 23 cents per pound. This was doing pretty well as to sugar, considering that we only took over the William H. Davis stock and fixtures early in April, and had our opening on Saturday, April 10." The capital stock of the concern. Is but $20,000 which is considered ample, all purchases being discounted, and all sales strictly cash. Mr. Hawk claims that they have a very light overhead, have a commodious store and a residence for his occupancy at a modest rental, and that the five clerks employed can live for so much less than can city employes that salaries paid are not as high, but are fair and satisfactory to all concerned. Town Folks Hold Stock. While all officers and directors are farmers, numerous town folks hold stock. Holdings are limited to four shares at $25 each, and many own but a single share. Some of those who

The Farm and The Farmer' By William R. Sanborn

"Not having ever raised a great many oats," said Dan Cievenger, of Milton. "I cant claim to be an authority. Will say, however, that I have never planted owts as late as May 1, nor do I remember ever seeing a good crop from any fields sown that Jate, Some of my neighbors are putting in oats this week, but I wouldn't take a chance." Mr. Clevenger stated that the recent sunshine had not seemed to benefit his wheat crop. "In fact." said he, "it is looking worse, in my opinion." He said he feared that the fly was working in his field. The fact that probably 50 per cent of our usual oats acreage has been or will be late, or not at all, has led to considerable remininscent argu

ment as to the chances for a crop if planted later than the middle of April and more especially as to the pros-

bought but one share at the start have since added to the limit and new applications are coming in daily, 'tis said. The co-operators are planning to add an elevator and a coal yard as profits permit. Eventually, if all goes well, there will be an extra dividend in some form It is .hoped, aside from the returns on purchases, "but this will be some distance in the future, and after all necessary expansion. At any rate we have fixed but a reasonable margin of profit on the goods handled and every cooperator is thus directly benefited, regardless," 6aid Mr. Hawk. The officers of the concern are: H. R. Harley, president; L. V. Mlkesell, treasurer; E. C. Sinks, secretary; T. E. Flatter, Jesse Baker, Daniel Albright. George Wolfal, L. A. Beatty and L. E. Green, completing the directory.

pacts for May sown fields. Jesse Study, of Fountain City, Is telling his friends, that the finest crop of oats he ever grew was put in from May 5 to 7. It all depends on seasonable rains, he says, and, having faith that there is still plenty of water in the sky, he is again tempting fate by sowing oats this week, as are some others. It is argued that there Is plenty of water in the Boil to start with and so farmers are inclined to sow oats where rotation calls for them. Jesse Dru ley's Experience In Jesse Druley's experience April 20 is as late as it is usually profitable to sow oats in this section. "This, however, has been a freak spring sea

son and it is possible that late sown oats may make a crop." Mr. Druley has 90 acres in wheat, 90 acres in oats and also 90 acres in clover the whole shooting match being in the same fields. It came about in this manner. His wheat was sown early and the fly ate holes in it.

There being no promise of a crop worth while about two bushels of oats to the acre were sown in the middle of March, but not disced in, as he did not wish to cut. up the wheat. Clover was also put in with the result that his oats are looking fine and the clover If making a brave showing. The outlook now is that Mr. Druley will cut a whole lot of feed from his 90 acres. Danger Of A Dry May. Late sown oats depend on May rains, more especially, said Mr. Druley, and a dry May on oats planted within the past few days would have a mighty bad effect on the crop. In his own farming, he stated, that he had sown oats in his wheat as early as late February, and in regular planting had sown oats as early as April 1, depending on the weather.

Wonders of the Diamond

It took nature, the great alchemist, many eons to make a single diamond. The essence of the diamond is carbon, but nature heated and heated and heated this carbon, and put It under intense pressure in the earth before it finally came forth '.n the shape of a hard, although not particularly attractive, crystal. Man then took hold of it, put a lot more time and science into it, cleaving it. polishing it. rubbing it, measuring it and shaping it. until finally there was created the sparkling, lustrous, scintillating gem which elicits the admiration of the world. Considering all the time and effort, therefore, required to produce a diamond, and its investment value, a perfect gem is a most desirable purchase. The scarcity of diamonds is making the price higher so that those who buy now, make money.

DO YOU KNOW That over 95 7o of your cleaning can be done by AIR alone? YOU DO KNOW That when two substances are rubbing together there must be some wear that if you use revolving brush and your rugs are softer than the brush your rugs must suffer. DO YOU KNOW i that the efficiency of a bonifide cleaner depends upon the volume of AIR passing through a fabric into a given space? and that making the space longer to accommodate a revolving brush Lessens the Efficiency of the Cleaner? YOU DO KNOW that the principle object of a Vacuum Cleaner is to eliminate Beating and Sweeping can easily Injure Rugs But Can Never Thoroughly Clean Them.
