vince patrons of the cheese factory here.
The News does not believe that there
is anything to this, at least not enough
to warrant our farmers in abandoning
the cheese factory. The argument made
by this agent that by cutting out the
cheese factory creamery will be Sc
cured, is lacking in logic and contrary
to all experience. The farmers have
secured the cheese factory by promises
of patronage. If, though the efforts of
this agent or anyone else, this promise
is broken, no one will feel inclined to
accept promises in the future. Better
stick to a good thing than to tinker
with temptations, especially when poor
ly founded.

by hope of living by work on the canal,
move in to die instead, and thousands of
dollars n month for the privilege of 60

victims of American bad faith and neg
