presence and help seems to us to be
quite necessity.
Those boys in the vicinity of Spring

THE Creamery production Is not one
half of its capacity. This remark means
that twice as many farmers could patron
ize this institution without material in
crease of expense, and thus save expense
to all. Besides the whole product can

gest anything to our farmers?
To natives who have gone out from
here and have been successful land there
are many, we would say return and
spend the remainder of your days among
old friends. In our judgment this year
will be the most favorable to locate here
that will ever be given, for we think the
time is near at hand when business il
this village will take on steam and in
crease real estate values very much.

stand implied in this item: "a. d. Paige
vi ESllClb bldil hNoDtbthCl,
has lately discharged several men for
using intoxicants, he holding that such
men are not competent help" If labor
would ostracise drunkenness or the use
of intOxicants we should hear less of
strikes and insufficient wages; also,
saloons would not have the business now
so apparent.
