Hermiston Dairy and Hog Show, Oct. 22, 23, 24 State Dairy Convention, October 24 and 25 . THE H ermiston H erald VOL. XIII HERMISTON. UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON. SATURDAY, JUNE 14. 1919 COMMITTEES CONSIDER CREAMERIES CONSOLIDATION Four directors of the Stanfield Creamery Co. met Thursday evening in the Library here with six mem- bers of the board of directors of the Hermiston Cooperative Creamery. The meeting was the’outcome of overtures being made by both cor porations that they get together and ascertain if amicable agreement could not be reached whereby con solidation could be brought about. The discussion brought out the point that consolidation would be a good thing for both concerns, and it would seem from the trend of the talk at the latter part of the meet- Ing that all that will be necessary now is the working out of details incident to consolidation by the ab- sorption of the stock of one con- cern. increased capitalization by the one that absorbs the other and the reissuing of stock in the new cream ery company to the members of the one absorbed. This, of course, is simply a pre- eurser of what may be done when a vote is taken at mass meetings that may be called of the stockholders of the two creameries. The tendency seems to be that the -owners of the Stanfield creamery are willing to become part of the Hermiston Co- operative Creamery by dissolving the concern there and taking stock in the creamery here.

Dodd has on display in his office the first real estate license sent to town under the new law. This law requires that any person who sells or leases property for an other must have a license from the state. The real estate dealer or broker must secure the endorse ment, as a responsible dealer, of ten reliable citizens and give a bond for $10,000 before a license can be issued. The law provides that if misrepresentations are made the purchaser will be protected. This law is designed to elevate the stand ing of the real estate business and protect, the public from the opera- .tions of dishonest dealers and curb stone operators. It is very definite in its statement that no one, can sell property for another without a license, and there is a fine and imprisonment penalty provided for its infraction.

It’s strange that some foreigners who work so hard In the interest of their native land come to America to do It. Bolshevist Russia, entirely surround ed by food and well-paid labor, would soon be cured of its economic lunacy. Nothing is so certain about the map of Europe as the fact that it will not be tho same as it was five years ago.
