The expedition of Gen. Lawson
against the Filipino forces at Santa

Filipinos fought stubbornly and lost
heavily, but they didn't surrender.

ATTENTION FARMERS!
Nothing Succeeds like success. II
Gets There Every Time.

The foundation of success is energy
and opportunity.
The Bellefontaine Creamery Co. fur
nish the opportunity and you possess
the energy, hence there is no excuse
why this creamery should not be
success.
A success that will add new wealth
to this farming community and make a
creamery stock.
This creamery must have a good
milk supply or it will be like saw
mill without logs.
The creamery business is no new
venture or experiment. 1t has been
successfully operated in the east and
middle states and has proven great
blessing to the farmers. There are
counties in this state where nearly a
million dollars is paid to the farmers
each year for their dairy product.
The creamery not only enables you
to make good profit out of your milk,
but it will increase the value of your
cows. 1t will bring into the community
a better grade of cows.
1t will add to the fertility of soil by
furnishing more fertilizing substance.
1t gives better opportunity to feed
a certain quality of farm produce, that
without dairy is wasted or but partly
fed to advantage.
In fact there is nothing so profit able
in proportion to the expense as well
ordered dairy.
The creamery is source OF sure
revenue to the farmers. They receiving
their money promptly twelve times
a year. This puts the farmer
upon cash basis. This gives hin
money and saves interest. The Mer
chant is also interested in the success
of the creamery, as it puts money int
circulation, and enables his farm con
sumers to pay cash for his mercban
disc.
This creamery wants milk and plent.

"WHITEWASHING
The Meat Packers Is the Verdict
of the Guernsey Times.

The Guernsey Times is an auti-For-
aker paper and has always been a stout
admirer of Sherman and Mckinley,
but Dave Taylor is man of too much
independence to sell his manhood for a
mess of canned roast beef, and he speaks
out as follows:
1.-THE Cleveland Leader, which is un-
doubtedly a Mckinley and Mark
Hanna organ, says the following in an
editorial:
'sRight in Chicago, where it was ex-
pected the meat packers would be able
to make the best showing, the wal
board of inquiry is developing testimony
that seems to prove beyond doubt
that much of the beef furnished for
army rations was unfit to eat"
'The dirty. meat question is an
swered," says Taylor, commenting or
this from the Leader, "The Com
manding Generals vindicated. Why
should the Administration spend az
much as the war debt, whitewashing
the meat packers?"
7 That'sa conundrum, Dave, that no
body will answer. But the people are no
fooled, and have not been. Too many
boys died in hospitals, too many came
home in ruined health, to tell of the
vile stuff, for the public to be deceived

And English Sailors Led Into Ambush

Late advices show very serious state
of affairs in Samoa, but it is believed
that there will be no war between En-
gland, Germany and America, on ac-
count of it.
April l, a force of PA British and
American sailors and force of 15O
friendly Samoans were ambushed and
attacked by about a thousand of Mataa-
IS rebels, and after hard fight were
compelled to retreat to the ships. Their
machine gun got out of order and
would not work. An English lieuten-
ant and an American lieutenant were
among the killed, and when the force
returned with reinforcements, they
fonnd that the dead officers had had
their heads cut of. Four American and
three British sailors were killed.

THE CANTEEN MUST GO.
Adjutant General Corbin says The
Law Will Be Enforced.

The last Congress, in response to an
earnest demand of the people passed a
law abolishing the Army ''canteen," or
saloon.
Since Congress adjourned, a story
has been published that the Attorney
General had given an opinion that the
law was not repealed, and that the can
teen still had legal existence, but that
soldiers could not be detailed to act as
bar tenders in it.
Attorney General Corbin declares
there is no truth in the story, and that
the law will be strictly enforced. He
says:
'The plain intent and spirit of the
law is that intoxicants shall not be
sold on military reservation, and If
have anything to say about 1t, there
shall be no "monkeying," with "lib
eral constructions or other forms o.
evasion. 1t is our business to see thai
the laws are enforced in their spirit al
well as their letter, and that ends it. ,
