Just what caused this feeling we know not, but matter came to a head on last f/f1 Wednesday when Mr. H. W. Winstead, warehouse manager,, and Mess. J. J. ! Winstead, K. C. Wagstaff and T. P. Featherston handed in thlir resignaF tiona.. Mr. Claud T. Hall, director for this iscrict, told us tne resignations had been accepted and a manager would be named in a very short time, Mr. Featherston has reconsidered the matter and accepted a contract for the coming year with the Co-ops, while the other two vacancies will not be filled, as he thinks the force will be hble to handle the crop without any more help. Mr. Hall further stated that these changes would mean a saving of six thousand dollars to the Association members of the County. ] We know nothing about the Co-Op management, but we do know that ' Mr. Hall has started on the right Toad when he began cutting down expenses. Now, if the Association wiH adopt this" rule all over the three States, and will cut out this secrecy to what salaries they pay they will have gone a longways towards regaining the members.
