The Creamery done fine business
for the month of August and paid
the patrons eighteen cents a pound
for their butter fat. The amount of
milk received was good for the month

make an effort to keep up the supply
so that it will prosper beyond former
seasons.
j. F. Luse is going to have an adj
dition built to his elevator which
will give them room for about 900

done at once by Lee and Markley.
The large amount of grain coming to
market necessitates this additional
room in order to better facilitate the
handling of the grain.
