To our Patrons :


To our Patrons.
Perhaps one of the most profitable
branches of the farming industry is the
production of milk. Believing that we
could be mutually benefited by handling
your product, we started i'll as pioneers i'll
the creamery business in your midst and
by close application to business and prompt
settlements we have been enabled to build
up trade at once beneficial to you as
we'll as ourselves.
Now to those who have kindly given us
heir patronage, we extend our thanks, as
we could not have built up this enterprise
without your cooperation.
We have been paying You at all times,
as you know. as much as the best ma kets
could afford, and we have spared no pains
nor expense to improve the quality of our
goods in order to obtain the top market
prices for the same to enable us to make
you the best returns possible therefore,
we ask your continued support, feeling
that it is TO your interest as we'll as ours to
encourage permanent enterprise in your
midst. We need all the good milk which
can be produced in this locality, and will
at all times pay as much as the best mar
Iets will afford We have devoted our in
dividual attention to the business, as well
as invested our capital in the same, and
we feel assured that you will not allow an
industry which has paid you well, drop
out of existence for want of your support
Thanking you for past favors, we re-
specially ask you for a continuance of
the'same. Yours truly,
c. CONNER.

The Song Birds.

The destruction of song birds or
insect eating birds to adorn ladies'
hats and bonnets is a subject which
is assuming degree of importance
that will soon, if it has not already,
become popular movement or a
subject of public opinion. The
destruction of birds is a beastly
passion and when that of avarice is
added to it, inspired by the vanity
of fashion, its proportions are so
large that it threatens the material
welfare of the nation. The destruc-
tion of birds is becoming a national
question. One of the non partisan
subjects that may safely be taken
up is movement to prohibit the
shooting of all wild birds of what
ever kind for three years under
severe penalty for violation. To
insure the non violation of the law
the shooting of squirrels and rab-
bits should be included. If rabbits
multiply too fast they are easily
trapped.

The Shoe Factory.

The gasoline engine for the shoe
factory was brought from Baltimore
to-day and placed in the cellar
on brick foundation. The second
story of the building is divided into
three apartments in one of which
the sewing machines are placed,
where the light work will be done
by girls. There are fourteen ma
chimes in this room, one a button
hole worker and another to sew on
the buttons. A handful of buttons
is thrown into the hopper and the
machine does the rest.
In a week or so Mr.. Delaney ex-
poets to commence making "foot
gear" for "ladies, misses and chill
dren," as the merchants phrase it
in their "ads."
The heavy machines are all on
the first floor where the lasting,
selling and heeling are done. The
nails used are cut from brass wire
by the machine, shaped and driven
all in the twinkling of an eye. The
sole is sewn on the shoe in a quarter
of a min lite, and the heel is driven
on at one bang by another machine.

tuberculosis [ LEGISLATION.

The State Sanitary Live Stock
Board has drafted a law to stamp
out this disease among the bovines
of this State.
AS no regard seems to have been
paid to the manner in which this
proposed law will affect the dairy
men and cattle breeders, and as it
will become a law if no step is made
to deprive it of it's hurtful features,
a meeting has been called by some
of the most influential men in these
industries, to be held at the Car
rollton Hotel, Baltimore, ut one D..
m. Tuesday, the 18th of Janury.
All, whose business is likely to be
affected, are invited to attend.
There is no doubt that milk pro-
duction and cattle raising can be
benefited by reasonable, practical
law; such has been the experience
of States enacting such reasonable
tuberculosis laws; it is also a fact
that those States that have passed
laws similar to the one now to be
put before the legislature have done
so at tremendous expense to the
State, and the grea' and lasting in
jury of the interests of the farmer.
The Importance of this move should
not lie overlooked for it affects the
health of the people as we'll as the
business of many farmers.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humor5 How a euro
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad,
1t appeared in tho form of red pimpIes
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense Itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wife's mother had had scrofuIa and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St..
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

What Everybody Knows,

Or ought to know, is that health and
even life itself depends upon the condi-
ton of the blood. Feeding, as it does, all
the organs of the body, it must be rich
and pure in order to give proper nourish-
ment. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and in
this way strengthens the nerves, creates
an appetite, tones the stomach and builds
up the health. Hoods Sarsaparilla wards
off colds, pneumonia and fevers, which
are prevalent at this time.
