The Argus reporter proved to the citizens
of South Ryegate what little knowledge he
had in regard to the creamery question.
Many Of the gentlemen of this place were
thoroughly disguised with the item in the
Arg,ts last week and state if any more I'M
true items are written they will have to be
proved. The item was simply one-sided,
and his argument proved he had not talked
with the managers of the organization.
He stated that " the number of patrons has
shrunk from thirty-two to eighteen" The
exact number of patrons at the creamery is
twenty three. The few that have dropped
off are mostly from Groton, with the ex-
ception of one or two who carry their milk
to Ryegate Corner creamery. 1t was news
to the patrons that some were going to carry
their milk to Ryegate, and they say it is ut
terly false. The shrinkage in number is
due, to a certain extent, to bad roads, and as
soon as the back roads are settled the pat
rons will increase. The innocent reporter
stated that not over one hundred pounds of
butter were made day. During the week
I,
pounds were made. He informed the people
that Lumsden and Mills had surrendered
completely" but the foundation for this
statement compares well with the others.
Mr.. Lumsden was appointed superintend-
ent of the organization, and was to receive
$3.50 per month for his services, but after
the work of building the creamery, ETC.,
was done his salary was reduced to So
per month, which he intended should be
done. S. Mills, Jr., was appointed treasurer
at $40 per month. A part of the treasurer's
work is now done by the butter-maker, for
which he receives $3.50 per month in addi-
ton to a salary of $50 per month, leaving
the treasurer's wages 81 80 per month. The
100 milk cans owned by the creamery are
all sold, and more are ordered which will
arrive this week. 1t would be wise for the
reporter to know what he is writing about
before he attempts to act as critic and not
make a complete funk in every identi-
cal statement.
