LARGEST IN 7HB WORLD.
LEADING CREAMERIEs OF KAN.
SAS TO COMBINE.
Over 100 Stations Already Agreed to
Work Together C q. Pattison to
Be Treasurer Of the Company-Can
Save Expenses.

A consolidation OF five Of the larg-
est creamery companies in the State
has been formed under the name Of
the Continental Creamery company,
chartered under the laws Of Colorado
and which will be the largest cream
cry company in the world. The off.
GERS are:
President, j. f. Nissley, Topeka.
Vice president, W. b. Jansen.
Beloit.
Secretary, j. S. Parks, Beloit.
Treasurer, C. H. Pattison, Abilene.
The following creamery companies
are already in the new company;
Jansen Creamery Co. Of Beloit; Kan
sas Creamery Co. Of Topeka; Brandt
Creamery Co., Canton; Pioneer
Creamery Co., Oklahoma; Burlin.
game Creamery Co., Burlingame.
The consolidation Of these companies
means over 100 stations for the new
organization and a number Of other
companies are expecting to join in
the large concern. The consolidation
has been brought about largely
through the efforts Of c. H. Pattison
Of this city Who has been working on
the plans for several months. The
prime consideration on which he has
based the new organization has been
the saving Of freight by shipping but
ter in car lots instead Of small ship
ments; saving on office expenses, as
all the Office work will be done at
headquarters in Topeka; saving on
commission by dealing direct with
large buyers and ignoring the com.
mission firms, This saving Of ex.
pense will enable the com pany to pay
farmers more for their milk and so
be Of benefit in two directions. En-
perienced creamerymen will be en-
ployed to inspect the stations regu-
larly and the whole will be managed
on a businesslike and careful basis.
1t promises to systematize and benefit
the creamery industry Of the State.
1t is in many ways the most inpor-
tant business combination effected in
the State in years and the work OF
Mr.. Pattison in bringing it about and

wife does not 60 on the stand and
that such fact shall not be refereed to.

WHY THEY WENT TO MANILA.
One Mans Story Of the goth Kansas
Fate,

A Topeka man who claims to know
tells this interesting story Of why the
Goth Kansas went to Manila:
"You will remem Der that the regi.
ments were mobilizing in the various
states preparatory to starting for the
different camps Of instruction at
Camp Alger, at Falls Church. Va, at
Chickamauga, San Francisco and
Tampa, Fla. Colonel Funston was in
Florida on duty with General Miles's
staff and Lieutenant Colonel Little
was in command Of the regiment. In
company with the governor and
number Of personal friends Colonel
Little was at his quarters in Camp
Leedy, the name provided for the
mudhole on the outskirts Of Topeka
where the regiment was camped,
The telegraph wires were hot with
messages passing between the colonel
and the war department.
"a messenger entered and handed
Colonel Little wire from Washing
ton 1t read: Colonel commanding
Twentieth regiment: You will prof
coed with your regiment to Camp
Alger, preparatory to embarkihg for
ba.-Corbin.'
"'Put that on file,' remarked Col
onel Little.
"Soon another messenger arrived
in hot haste and leisurely tearing
open the envelope Colonel Little read;
Colonel commanding Twentieth Kan
sas: You will move your regiment
at once to Chickamauga. -Corbin.'
"'Check that up calmly ordered
Colonel Little. And the message
was carefully deposited in the waste
basket. The next message came on
schedule time and read: Colonel
commanding Twentieth Kansas: You
will proceed with your regiment to
Topeka, Kas., and there await orders.
-Corbin.' But the regiment was al.
ready at Topeka, despite the belief
entertained by the war department
that Governor Leedy had obeyed
orders and assembled the regiment at
Fort LowenWorth. The lnessas set
above mentioned had been forwarded
from Leavenworth to Topeka.
"This message went to join the
ones that. had preceded and all waited
the next order from the war depart
ment. A messenger hastily entering
Interrupted Colonel Little in an elo.
quent dissertation on the fame Of the
great Napoleon. Snatching the yel-
low slip from the man COL Little
read
Colonel commanding Twentieth
Kansas: You will proceed with your
regiment to San Francisco and there
await transportation to the Philip
pines. -Corbin. "
"'Orderly," thundered Colonel Lit
tie, tell Adjutant Buchan to report
to me at once!'
"Adiutant Buchan enters moment
later. Prepare the regiment for
transportation to San Francisco. W.
leave tomorrow. And 80 the regi
ment went to the Philippines"
