CLOVER FARM CREAMERY TO THE FRONT.
 J. B. Sanford. proprietor of Clover Farm creamery, has been slowly and quietly working his way upward toward great success in butter making. A year ago Mir SansOrd started a creamery in Newtown known as the Clover Farm Creamery Annex at W. c. Johnson's mill, where many of the farmers hereabouts are availing themselves of the golden op- portunity of receiving 30c per pound for butter fat, with their skim milk in re- turn. The Reading creamery is the headquarters for making butter, under the careful supervision of Peter AgneW, who is an experienced butter maker. He has been at Clover Farm creamery since it's start six years ago, besides serving seven years ill Scotland as butter mak- CT. MT Agnew feels highly pleased at MT Sanford's success in competing with the world. At the Worlds fair, Clover Farm creamery took the first premium as to quality. No higher honors need be be attained and Clover Farm creamery will now, as before, command the high est market price. The farmers will read fly understand that a good price for but ter means a good price for milk. In fact MT Sanford is now paying more than has ever been paid since the creamery start ed.

OF the State Department for special pur-
poses in cases OF emergencies. This view
Ignores the fact that there was never an
ambassador sent from one country to an
other with more aggresstvely powerful
functions than those possessed by Mr..
Blount. Greater than a minister then res
ident In Honolulu. greater than any consul
in the Islands. greater than the command
er Of the naval force. Mr.. Blount can never,
in the most charitable construction Of the
case, be said to have been a mere investi-
eating agent" collecting information. He
may have been a spy. but he was also an
unauthorized ambassador, clad in the most
potent authority. And. with all the de-
fensive pleas. there stands the indelible
fact that the Senate was in session when
the paramount commissioner departed for
Hawaii and the full Congress was in ses-
sion when his report was submitted to the
State Department. And both houses were
also in session when Secretary Gresham
wrote his famous letter to the President,
which was withheld from the public IN
til after the adjournment In the first
days Of November. Senator Hosr may
well say that the President Is ION very
slippery ground" for there begin to loom
up some pertinent constitutional questions
that staggered even the great constitutional
lawyer of the Senate, Mr.. Gray. when
they were developed yesterday.
