Mr.. F. G. Butler made shipment of
hams from his packing house on Satur-
day to Baltimore and New York. For
several years past Mr., Butler has been
making a speciality of curing pork, and
last year went into the business quite ex-
tenslvely, erecting good sized building
IN which he stored pork from $50 hogs.
He cures his meat by old fashion country
processes that gives to his product a
flavor not found in meat put up by the
big city packers. The fact that he is re-
ceiving orders almost every day from the
eastern cities is proof of the success of
his methods

Secretary Hay has returned from
Europe and while the diplomacy of the
United States has not suffered any in
his absence, doubtless the wheels of
the state department will revolve
more smoothly for his presence. It is
said that in one of the communications
between President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Hay, the latter returned this
statement: 81 do not, see what you
have for a secretary of state" the in
ference being that the president him
self was amply qualified to discharge
whatever duties the diplomatic rela-
tons of the United States demanded.
Certainly it has been proven that the
president is adaptable to all circum-
stances, and If he is not a polished
diplomat, he is at least forcible one.
