Mr. ranked as the finest model of coopera tion in the South, Co- operation among the farmers may be divided into three general classes: co-operative produc tion, co-operative marketing, and co operative societies for banking. The farmers of Catawba county have developed each of these to some extent. The first step towards co- operation taken by the Catawbe county folk was the founding of The Catawba Co-op- eratative'Crearr.ery in 1910. The total initial investment in this creamery 1 absorbing $1200. When the business began, the number of patrons was 38. The first month’s operations prcdaced sales of butter to the amoung of $940. Three thousand pounds of butter were made during the month, reached $14,868. The second year witnessed a marked increase both in the nnmbei of patrons and in the amount of- business. The amount paid out for butter tat this year was $22,015. The Creamery Com pany was incorporated in 1912 with an outhorized capital stock of $50,000. It was, and still is, a requirement of the Company that at all times 75 per cent of the stock must iJe owned by the farmers. At the present time only ten shares are held by v>thers than farmers. The great success of the creamery could not fail to impress the farmers ot Catawba county with the importan ce of co*op3rative enterprises; and,they have hastened to form other such asso ciations. and, so, they have hastened George Thompson is champion so far. i He comes first with one weighing ^ form other such associations.

The play is given by the girls of the high school and members of the faculty. It should be borne in | mind that it is not of a comical j nature, but a high classed liter ary play, one that will appeal to the intelligence of the people. The principal character is “youth’' who graduates from college and is tempted by both vices and • virtures. The scene is very thrilling when “youth” accepts the virtures of life. This is doubtless the most educative play that has been given here. Proceeds go to encyclopedia. Admission 10 and 25cts.

The Civic Associ ation of Mebane has learned that Rev. Dr. Swam, for several vears an honored citizen of this town and the faithful pastor of the Methodist-Protestant church, has accepted a call to field of labor; therefore Resolved. That we^bear grate ful testimony to the readiness and ability with which Dr. I Swain has aided us in all our j labors for the betterment of the | j town. I Resolved. That, by reason of I his public spirit which embraced every healthful interest of the town, the readiness and effici ency with w^hich he ^turned his I hand to every good work, and his bearing as a Christian Minis ter his residence among us was a benediction and his removal a loss to all. Resolved. That Dr. Swain and his family are hereby assur- I ed of the best wishes of this 1 Association for their happiness I and usefulness! Miss Mattie Johnson “ Jennie White dardize the package for their ship ment. The Association has been grow ing steadily and is meeting a long-' felt need in Catawba county. But the Catawba county farmers do not limit their co-operation to enter prises merely for the sale of their pro ducts; he also applies the principle of co-operation to the supplies that he purchases. In order to supply this need, the Farmers’ Union Warehouse Company with $25,000. I'his v/arehouse is a whole sale warehouse for all the farmers in the county. It handles such articles as fertilizers, seeds, implements, wagons, buggies and hamess. The farmer's produce may be also marketed through thj w’arehouse. Last year the ware house did a $2500 business. More instance of improvement might be cited. But what has been shown should be enough to convince the most sceptical that the county has greatly improved, and that the most pow^erful another single influence in bringing about this I improvement has been the practical operation of the principle of co-opera tion in the various farming industries of the county. year.
