month, the second figure indicates
the day of the month, and the
last two figures indicate the year
For instance, if the figures are
3-15-14, it would mean that the
subscription is paid to March 15,
1914. There is not room on the
sticker to print out the date in
full. 13 means 1013, 14 means
1914; 15 means 1915, &c.
Paid Ten Per Cent.
The directors of the evaporat
ing plant at Hancock paid a ten
per cent dividend on the stock
last week and set aside between
four and five hundred dollars as
a surplus. The plant had been
in operation six months. Prepa
rations are being made to in
crease the business of the com
pany this season. The stock
holders who were the fortunate
recipients of the ten per cent
were by no means most benefited
An evaporating plant in a neigh
borhood provides a market for
surplus fruit of all kin'ds, and we
have no doubt that hundreds of
families cashed part of their crop
of fruits, who previously to the
establishment of the plant, had
either let the fruit go to waste
or had gone to much trouble and
expense to preserve it in some
manner. With an evaporating
plant located in Licking Creek
township, another one in Taylor
township, and others in similarly
distant points from railroads,
much money could be made. One
good team of four horses could
draw to the station as much
dried fruit as a local plant would
handle in a season, and the mon
ey value of a four-horse load of
dried fruit would buy supplies
for many families for a year.
. Caution. Do not let some slick
stranger come into your neigh
borhood and sell you a 'company'
evaporating or a canning outfit
For best results in small com
munities, the driers should be
owned by. individuals, or jointly
by just a few families who can
work together in harmony by
making some tidy person mana
ger for the season. Fix a price
for berrie3 that will be brought
by boys or girls, pay them the
cash, and then when the finished
product is sold, the owner will
have no one to quarrel with over
the profits. $100 would start a
plcnt that could handle berries
fyr half a dozen families.
