Glenwood Co-operative creamery is running very satisfactory

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, August 28, 1924

With all precautions that have been urged in crossing railroad tracks, an accident has again taken place that brings home the facts that the public cannot be too careful in crossing grades. Last night Superintendent Pryor, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Connolly and daughter, Dorothy, were driving east from the N.P. Depot in the new detour. As they approached the railroad tracks they saw the 109 flyer at the depot. In order to get across the track before the train approached, they did not slacken their speed, which was about 25 miles an hour. There were three tracks close together where they were crossing. As they were crossing, a freight train was crossing ahead of them. The glare of the flyer’s headlight made it impossible to see the freight train until they were right upon it. The freight train had forty cars and the automobile struck the 26th car, wrecking the automobile and injuring Mr. Pryor and Mr. Connolly who were taken to the hospital and given medical care at once. How serious they are hurt is not known, but it is expected that both will fully recover. That the two gentlemen will have a speedy recovery is hoped for by the community.

The Glenwood Co-operative creamery is now a going concern and is ready to handle all cream produced tributary to Glenwood. The first cream was received last Friday. Now patrons are coming in every day and the run is very satisfactory. The new building is modern in every respect and the farmers are justly proud of their institution. 

Cream will be received every day until three o’clock in the afternoon. But it is preferred that deliveries be made in the morning and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If early deliveries are made regularly, it is possible to make a better quality of butter as the cream can them be properly pasteurized in the afternoon. It is suggested that patrons organize routes among themselves, taking turns in making the deliveries. This saves time and results in regular deliveries. 

Payments for cream will be made on the monthly plan, with advances to anyone needing money before payday. All patrons will be expected to cool their cream in water quickly, at once after separating. A good cream cooler can be purchased through the creamery. Rusty cans should not be used for milk or cream. It will pay well to bring only the best cream and milk. There are only three points to consider in producing good cream. Cleanliness, quick cooling, and frequent delivery. 

Ice cream will also be made and this should add considerably to the volume and profit of the institution. The creamery will also enjoy a great advantage in the local sales of butter, milk, and cream. We predict a splendid future for this creamery.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, August 29, 1924

That 156 infants and children were examined at the series of Free Clinics held by the Pope County Public Health Association recently is information contained the final report of the clinics. Of these 36 were found to have some defect that requires immediate medical treatment. In many cases these defects were only minor ones but if uncorrected will probably bring in their train serious bodily disorders. 

Thirty-eight were found to have defects of the nose and throat. Diseased and enlarged tonsils and adenoids were the most common defect. Thirty-two children were in need of dental care. Twenty-four children were found to have defective vision or diseases of the eye, and prompt treatment by an oculist was urged. Twenty were more than 10 per cent underweight. Ten children had skin trouble, two had rickets, two had heart trouble, and two had conditions of the lungs. Four had orthopedic trouble 

The far-reaching value of this clinic cannot be over estimated and it means much for the health of the community and its individual citizens.
