The meeting was called to oi ler by President J. A. Adkins hortlv after 10 a. m. He gave he gathering a short talk on he past year’s business. W. H. iichols took the floor and ex iressed himself as opposed to he Farm Bureau scheme now leing forced on the district. His emarks were received with ap iroval Secretary E. R. Wynn then ead his annual report which howed a total of 56,060 cases if strawberries handled during he 1922 season. These sold for gross of $129,034.54, leaving a let return of $124,813.72; a rand average of $2.32 per case or the entire season. This is everal cents more than any oth r association in the district nade W. C. Hotopp then read the eport of the auditing commit ee. This coveredthe question of ommission checks, joint ac ount business and other vexing [uestions thoroughly. Considerable discussion of the adisli crop returns then took dace. President Adkins explain d why the whole season was looled. The net result of $4.01 ler barrel to the growers shows his system better than that ised'bv other associations which hip radishes, as it secured the laid Knob growers over a dol ar more per barrel than was re :eived by other White county toppers Adjourned for dinner after fhich the question of member hip qualifications was tlnesh d out and the rule established hat any one who had ever been i member, if out of the berry :ame at present, who would a ree to ship his 1923 crop with he association, any one paying us membership fee now and a Teeingto abide by the rules luring 1923, could vote The meeting then proceeded fith the annual election which esulted in Prsident Adkins re aving 107 votes, W. H. Nich ls 48 votes for president and ales manager. Election of secretary-treasur r came next. The vote resulted u the election of W. C. Cren shaw who received 68 votes to 65 for E. R. Wynn. E. R. Wynn has been secietary ever since the associationwas organized in 1912 and really has been the guiding force that has brought it to the present successful po sition. Mr. Wynn’s other busi ness connections require so much of his time that he made no effort to seek reelection. He was elected vice president bv a rising vote The board members were then selected. A standing vote show ed that Perry Louks, Jr., Willie Richards, and D. R. Sandefur were handed a bunch of trouble for the coming year. President Adkins brought up the matter of using cold storage as a means of handling part of the crop in case the mar ket should show signs of break ing. The matter was left with the board to investigate and re port on at a future meeting. S. E. Danley took the floor on the Farm Bureau scheme. He stated that his idea was that any scheme that required the un asked presence of a bunch of highly paid men, all claiming to be out to drag the grower from the depths, should be looked in to fully before being accepted. W. T. Henderson, W. II. Nichols, D. S- Law, and others spoke a long the same lines- A standing vote showed the association ful ly satisfied with the present system. Discussion of the grade ques tion showed a feeling to leave the making of grades, hiring of inspectors and other help with the board. Only three grades will be ip-ed: No. 1, No. 2, and culls. A difference of 25 per cent will be made between No. 1 and No. 2; fifty per cent between No. 1 and the cull grade. Grades will be strictly enforced in an endeav or to put out a quality product in 1923 that will show the Bald Knob grower good returns. To the Democratic Voters of the First Judicial Circuit.: Words are insufficient to ex press to my friends the grati tude of my heart for their un selfish support. Especially do I feel grateful to the ladies for their almost unanimous vote And I also wish to thank my opponent and his friends for the uniform courtesy coupled with their opposition.

So Liza sed to me one day as how she lowed we’d as well sell the things and git em often our minds We had been a readin all a long bout the markets an from whut we could gether by word uv mouth an thru the local pa pers, we decided that Judsonia was about the best market in reach an Liza decided — Liza alius does the decidin fer the' family, caze she’s decidedly the better half—as how I’d better hitch up old Tom and Jerry to kveun’s old horseless kerridge an drive a few loads or rather pull a few loads of peaches an per tatei's to Judsonia an sell em to once Wall, we hed to pass thro Sear cy an all of them there store merchants run out and tried to stop Tom an Jerry right thar so we’d sell in that air town,but we jes axed the price uv garden truck an come on-. An so we driv on agin ontil we driv up to Judsonia. I got $375 and some odd cents fur my produce and bein as how I knowed Liza would want to know where all that air money went to—I make all my financial reports to her—I thought I had better put them there green backs in the Bank uv Judsonia an draw checks as I’d trade with the store merchants. Liza sed as how a check that you drawed on a bank was as good as a receipt and the Bank of Judsonia wuz strong enough to hold my three hundred and several more with out bustin. I went round an turned it over to their clever cashier, j\ir. Aday, an he shoved it down into the big sack whut they keep change in, endurin the day time. Sim, that’s my oldes boy, spied some ice cream cones in Aday’s Drug Store an jest had ter stop and °git one.

Forbes Hard ware Co., for 40,000 barrels of cement to be used in the con struction of the hydro-electric dam near here- It will require over three hundred cars to trails port this much cement.
