usual marks have been sot by Vr. Stauffer

idea of the removal of tho college from

realised advantages which would offset
the hardships which the removal would

committee to nes:otiate the college eide of
the removal and on July 29 a final de

To move a ceniplote collego with its li

time to start school in Fremont on Sep

task. This was done, however, and the re

Country Store Prospers.
Swede Home The Farmers un
ion store did a total business of
$38,000 in nine months, according
to the audit recently completed by
! the Farmers union audit department
of Omaha. General dullness in busi
ness caused the store to suiter a
loss in operations, but the upward
trend of prices for grain is putting
new life into farmers and their busi
ness. This store is in the country,
west of Osceola, in the center of a
rich farming community, M. R.
Anderson has been manager since
the store was started. The associa

Newman GroveThe Farmer
' Union Co-operative association of
1 this place is using the stockholders'
I joint note plan of furnishing se
curity lor loans mane 10 rue asso
ciation. Kach stockholder has en
dorsed the note for $150, aud in
dividual liability is expressly limited
to that amount. This note is de
posited as collateral for loans, which
may be obtained up to the face of
the note or for sums very much
smaller, as the needs of the asso
ciation require. The loans do not
all have to be obtained troin me
same source. The association gives
a corporation note for eath loan
it i.hiains ami all of these notes
are backed by the stockholders'
joint note. A good many of the
members of the association are mak
ing loans to their own enterprise.
The advantage- of this plan is that
it enables the association legally to
borrow funds in excess of two
thirds of its paid-up capital, and
spreads the liability uniformly over
the whole body of stockholders, in
stead of throwing it upon the direc
tors alone, as is so often the case
in co-operative associations.

The general discussion showed that
some landowners wore decidedly in favor
of eliminating flood chances, while others
felt that this land was serving them
enough as pasture and hay land. Since
considerable of the support came from
