Yes, Wc buy cream and lots of it also yonr egs
and poultry. We arc and always have been pay
ing "TOP MARKET PRICES" and shall continue
to do so. You may rest assured when you bring
your produce to the Union you get the prevailing
market price for it.
COMPETITION
That's what we like. We enjoy good fair and
square competition, and welcome it. Competition
is the very life of trade. Without it the farmer
would be in doubt whether he was getting value re
ceived With it he has only to consult the other
fellows quotations and then he knows he is receiv
ing honest treatment.
FAIR DEALING
Ask any one of our patrons about our prices and
tests and see if they are satisfied A continued pa
tronage of approximately 350 cream customers is
pretty fair evidence that we are treating our patrons
right and meeting competition on a fair business
. basis,
"YOU SHARE OUR EARNINGS
"'"' '. Members of the Union should bear in mind that all
thc profit we make on your produce less the actual
cost of handling is paid back to you IN DIVIDENDS.

FARM PROFITS ARE COMING
HACK
It Is a law of nature that action is
equal to reaction in the opposite di
rection. For instance, a pendulum
always swinga almost as far one way
as it went in the opposite direction on
the picceding .swing. A ilight tap
when it starts back may send it far
ther than it went on the up stroke.
Business has its up and downs as
docs the pendulum. In many respects
business expansions and depressions
arc almost as regular as is the tick
ing of the clock. When business
readies the peak of its climb wc can
always rest assured that there will
be a decline at least nearly as far.
The world war really served as a
vigorous push rather than a light tap
on the business pendulum of the
world and sent It up and up almost
to its zenith, in fact, many feared the
force of the impact would cause it to
dash from the beaten path and crash
to destruction. But the upward
swing stopped before the break, and
for the last year and a half we have
been witnessing the backward swing.
Many facts indicate that it is now
about time for the business pendulum
of the United States to return in the
diicction of the- business recovery.
And in the revival of business which
is sure to occur wc anticipate that
farming will l-e one of the first lines
of business to bo benefited.
There arc several reasons why the
farmer now should take an optimistic
view of his business situation. The
wheat carry-over from this season has
been the smallest in years. The lat
est information indicates that the 1921
crop 's no larger than the 1920 crop.
Stocks of wheat' at terminals and in
country elevators arc reported to be
more than 50 lower than a year ago.
The visible supply is the smallest in
eighteen years.
The supply of flour in the hands of
uiurciiams as wen as consumers is
very low. There was 20 less flour
manufactured during the year ending
June 1st than during the preceding
year.
Of vital interest to farmers is the
fact that there is a decided shortage
in livestock. If per capita consump
tion of meat and meat products were
suddenly to return to normal, the do-
...mm xvi umai wouki do far greater
man tne supply.
n....: a.i... "... . ..
"hii& me urst live months of
uii there were 7.71G business fail
urcs in the United States as compar
cd with 2,078 for the corresponding
period of 1920. An expert statisti
cian estimates that at present there
are about three million persons or
dinarily employed in industries in the
United States out of employment. It
nas been demonstrated that the fami
ly of a man who has employment
consumes three times as much of the
things people eat, wear and use, as
it does when the head of the family
is out of employment. Latest infor
mation indicates that the number of
unemployed ha3 probably reached the
maximum and that unemployment is
now on the decline.
One can readily see that as work
ers in textile mills, shoe factories,
automobile factories, furniture fact
ories, etc., are resuming employment,
their requirements will be proportion
ately increased. Certainly this means
a greater demand and better prices
for all the things which are produced
by farmers. lack of employment
cannot be improved until utilization
of products produced is l'esumed.
Add to all this the determination
of the farmers of this country to
take a hand in the marketing of
their own products, getting better
prices or at least getting a larger
percentage of the final selling price
of their stuff, together with the prob
able reduction in freight rates, and
wo have ample reason for feeling op
timistic in regard to the situation
the farmer will find himself in a few
months hence.
There are other favorable signs and
wo will admit a few clouds on the
horizon, but taking it all in all the
situation warrants reasonable opti
mism. Better times for agriculture
arc coming, and coming soon. The
farmers who profit most during the
next few years will be those who keep
eyes ana cars wide open for every
bit of information that will help them
to judge what is best for them to do
In the conduct of their own business.
Buy the things you need to cnablo
you to produce crops and livestock
economically. If you can cut the
coft of producing a bushel of whent
by, 10 rents, thci is equivalent to get
ting 10 rent? a bushel more for Jt,

THAT'S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There's nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone. ,
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them
selves. t ;,.

WEBSTER COUNTY FARM BU-,
REA DISCUSSES FARM ILLS I
At the request of the American'
Farm Bureau Federation, the Webster
County Farm Bureau called some of
the prominent farmers of the county
to a meeting July 11th. The object
of the meeting was to secure first
hand information from the producers
themselves as to problems confront
ing American agriculture.
RESULTS OF MEETINGS
1 The causes of the present un
favorable condition of agriculture.
A High cost of production of the
farm products compared with price
received.
'B, Currency inflation followed by
currency deflation, (paying for things
bought when money was inflated
with products sold after deflation.)
C Decreased demand for farm pro
ducts, due to: first, lack of demand in
Europe, second, lessened consumption
in ceneral in America, third, sub
stitution of cheaper foods, such as
cocoa oil for butter and lard.
2 The causes of the difference be
tween the prices of agricultural pro
ducts paid to the producer and the
ultimate cost to the consumer.
A There are too many steps in the
marketing process.
B Excessive freight rates.
3 The banking and financial re
source and credits of the county,
especially as affecting 'agricultural
credits.
A Favoring a banking policy by
the Federal Reserve bank which
would lonn money to farmer: on their
personal security to the relative
amounts that it loans to manufac
tures, speculators, etc.
4 The marketing facilities of the
county.
A The marketing facilities would
bo improved by greater use of co
operation in buying and selling and
greater publicity given to wholcsalo
prices.
