The Morris Creamery association
started up its plant last Monday
morning with something over $500
pounds of milk. Taking the condi
ton of the roads into consideration
this is certainly glorious start, and
there is no doubt but what that

equipped with the very latest i'm
proved machinery and all facilities
for making frst-class butter. The
buttermaker, Mr.. Short, comes highly
recommended by officials of the State
agricultural school, and from all ap-
pearances on the start he seems to
understand his business. The farm
ers are taking hold of this new enter
prise with courage and determine
ton to make it a success. The fol-
lowing article should be carefully
read by all parties interested in the
creamery:
The Morris Creamery Association
will pay so cents per 100 pounds for
sweet and pure milk containing four
per cent of butter fat, and proper
tional amount for milk containing
more or less than that percentage,
and will pay for same on the 18th
day of each month,
Or
the association will receive all such
milk delivered to the creamery, manu-
facture the cream therefrom into but
ter, sell the butter at the highest price
obtainable, and on the last day of
each month, beginning with June Both,
will pay each such patron all money
received for the amount of butter
made from his milk less the cost of
and marketing, and less SC
for each 100 pounds of milk deliver
ed; and will allow each, such patron
to take of skim milk each day an
amount equal to four-ffths of the
milk delivered. Is
When the dates named come on
payments will be made on
the following Monday.

are women Soon there will be bicycle
parade thcrc in which 10000 wheolmen
are expected TO participate.
Miss Charlotte Smith, president of the
league, has achieved considerable notoriety
on account Of her effort in the lobby of con-
gross 10 secure legislation to protect fallen
women. She has been In tho city about
two months and in that period has devoted
herself exclusively 10 bettering their con-
dition.
Miss Smith has issued the following re-
markable circular:
Whereas. The alarming increase OF immoral"
ity among young women In the United States
is most startling to those who have investigat-
ed tho subject:
Whereas A great curse has been inflicted
npon tho people OF this country because OF the
present bicycle craze, and, IL a halt Is not cali
"a soon. IS per cent Of tho cyclists will bc an
army of invalids within the next ten years;
Whereas. Immodcratc bicycling by young
women is to be deplored because Of evil asso-
Citations and opportunities offered by cycling
sports:
Whereas, Bicycling by young women has
helped to swell the ranks OF reckless girls who
finally drift into tho standing army OF outcast
women of tho United States more than any
other medium:
Whereas, "Dcycle runs for Christ" by tho
so called Christians should be properly termed
"bicyclc runs for satan, for the bicycle Is the
DEVILS advance agent, morally and physically.
in thousands cf instances; therefore be IL
Resolved, That the Woman's Rescue league
denounce bicycle riding by young women be-
cause of producing immoral associations both
N language and dress. which have tendency
To mako woman not only unwomanly, but inn
modest as well.
Resolved. That tho Woman's Rescue league
petition all true women and clergymen TO aid
in denouncing the present bicycle craze by
wonsn n as indecent and vulgar.
Resolved. That copies Of these resolutions be
sent where they will do the most effective
good for the cause of purity and morality.
