Troy Creamery.

At an adjourned meeting OF the
newly elected Board of Directors of the
Troy Creamery Co., held the evening
Of the 18th, the general opinion pre-
vailed, and a motion unanimously
passed That everything be done to
sustain and build up the creamery
industry by encouraging friends and
patrons to improve their herds and
increase the supply Of dairy produce by
paying a good price to the producer,
and manufacture, handle and market
the produce in such way that some
profit may occur to the stockholders, )"
and that the secretary be instructed to
make this policy known through the
Troy News.
1t is perhaps so much more
necessary at this time to take courage
and impart courage to others, as we
have sustained heavy loss during the
first years operation, AID to cap the
climax lost the operator. While the
most optimistic could hardly expect
any gain for the first year, the most
pessimistic could hardly forsee the
heavy financial loss; but here we are
with stock of experience that we
hope to molld and turn, to advantage
in the future.
The company being organized on
the cooperative plan the Board has
taken the only possible position that
affords any hope OF Ultimate success.
AS it is quite plain to every observer
that to give up the struggle now would
only invite fiat failure, inevitable tota
loss and comp ere ruin of the creamery

Another Industry for Troy.

Plans are now being perfected that
will result in giving Troy new in
dustry in the form of a plant for the
manufacture of charcoal, pine tar,
creosote and wood alcohol, together
with other chemical products from
pine. The new plant is to be located
near Troy where it will have easy
access to pine, utilizing everything
from sawdust to pine stumps. The
plant is to be installed by stock
company who have interested them
selves in a new patent process invented
by Peter Brown, who has already given
the process practical tests. The plant
to be installed will have daily ca
pacity Of about three cords of wood and
is expected to be in operation before
the close OF the summer. The new

cooperation enterprises have in most
cases proved similar to ours, if not
worse; and if we have reached the
turning-point we may consider our
selves lucky indeed.
The business has grown so that
during the month Of June some over
5000 pounds of butter fat was deliver
ed at the creamery. What is needed
now is for the friends and patrons Of
the creamery to rally to its assistance
and by standing pat' through evil
report and good report, in the winter as
well as in the summer, deliver their
produce at the creamery; and the dir
ectors pledge themselves to secure the
services Of some competent man in
charge to give fair treatment to all, and
good price for their produce. If it
shall be found impossible or impract-
icable to run the plant on the cooper
alive plan, and change be absolutely
necessary, the plant will bring better
price on the market if in operation and
accompanied with some business (the
more business the more valuable) and
so mutual interest seems to dictate the
only course and if followed the cream
cry will be so profitable to its stock
holders that they will not consider
parting with their stock; so pleasant to
operate that the butter-maker would
grow fat ano never think of leaving the
place; such needed addition to the
communitys enterprises that not only
all the stockholders but visitors and
reporters will attend the annual meet
ings and the wrinkles in our physiog-
nomy will all run the other way when
the secretary reads the annual report
and everybody wants to be director
Now, what say you, if we cooperate as
hard as we can, and we can certainly
afford to do that when we get paid al
there is coming to US (this does no
apply to directors and officers who have
to be satisfied with an occasional swil
of butter milk for their labors) and i
the thing does not work, call specia
meeting and change the thing so tina
some enterprising fellow can buy VI
the stock, or plant, and make nimsel
rich; and as for us we will have tt

schemes, government ownership ant
kindred theories are not altogethe

SELECTING Volunteers

Whenever the United States has
been at war with any other country il
has always been a matter for serious
complaint on the other side that the
Americans take accurate aim before
firing-with extremely fatal results
How excellent was the craftsmanship
of the volunteers on Bunker Hill is a
matter of record. There is an inter
esting entry in the diary of John Har-
rover, an indentured schoolmaster of
Virginia.
Colonel Washington, of this col,
ony," he wrote, being appointed gen.
eralissimo of all the American forces
raised and to be raised, made a de-
mand of five hundred rif1emen from
the frontiers Of this colony. But those
that insisted on going far exceeded
the number wanted. when, in order to
avoid giving offense, the Commanding
officer chuse his company by the fol
lowing method.
He took a board of a foot square
and with chalk drew the shape of a
moderate nose in the centre and nailed
it up to tree at one hundred and
fifty yards distance and those who
came highest the mark with a single
ball was to go. But by the first forty
or fifty that fired the nose was al
blown out of the board, and by the
time his Company was up the whole
! board had shared the same fate.

A Cure for Nervousness.

The man or woman suffering from
nervousness should seek the compan-
ionship of healthy persons, free from
nervousness. The meals ought to be
eaten very slowly. All ordinary by
gienic rules are to be obeyed. Will
exercises are good. The nervous per
son must, to use a figure of speech,
spring out of the warm. nervous bed
and plunge into the cold bath of effort.
The thing he breads doing is the very
Cne he should do.
One excellent plan for nervous men
and women is to attend good theater,
and watch the demeanor of some self
possessed actor or actress. Let them
study that demeanor, and try to imi-
tate it. 1t will be something for them
to do when attacked by a nervous
squau. 1t will be found better than
buttoning or unbuttoning gloves, or In
dulging in any other of the purposeless
acLs SO common to the nervous.

Never before in all the country his

This is not only several times larger

but it marks Il gain of S25O.OOO.0O over
the highest previous record in the United
States, which was for 1904. The yield
of, the country's farms in 1905 equaled
the c0untry's aggregate wealth of all
sorts for 1915. The conntry'S gold mines
furnished $90.000.000 for 1905, which
was $4,000, 900 in excess Of the largest
previous year, and double the output of
1895. Its mineral products of all sorts
for the year aggregated $500, 1000, 900,

times that of 1886. In gold production

clear, pretty skin. goes unappreciated
and unused right at their hand. 1t is
simply water. of which very few wom-
en- drink One-quarter as much as they
should do in the course of a day. To
do its work properly the liquid should
be taken between meals, and at least
three pints-or six ordinary glasses-a
day should be the average of an adult.
A woman whose skin is the envy of
others. and who is believed by many to
resort to all sorts of beauty" devices,
attributes it entirely to the plentiful
use of water, both internally and ex-
ternally. She drinks it glassful at a
time almost every hour. Hot water.
if taken a cupful on rising and another
when going to bed, will help to reduce
the weight of a stout person. Cold
water, unless taken with meals, will
not increase flesh, but has a tendency
to harden and make it firmer.

was alleged that Rice was the victim of
a plot in which his valet, Charles +.
Jones. at the instigation and under the
direction of Patrick. murdered his master
by the use of chloroform.
4 check against one of Rice's bank
accounts, found to be a forgery, led to
the arrest of Patrick and Jones on Oct.
4. 1900. Jones confessed to the murder
in several contradictory statements. He
was accepted as a State witness and was
never tried. He is now living in Texas.
Patrick, himself an able criminS law
yer, had the assistance in his defense of
the best attorneys, but in spite of all was
found guilty of murder in the first degree
and April s, 1902, he was sentenced to
death. Then began that remarkable fight
for a retrial. Every possible means have
been used TO delay execution of sentence
and get his case once more before the
courts. An appeal in every court in the
State open to him has been made, but

Of water and closed the door. This
plucky act enabled the pumps to over

a further interesting case Of deep
diving is that of Angel Erostarbe, who

The effect of high pressures on the
constitution is not found injurious
when the work is carried out under
ordinary precautions. A French sci
enlist has gone 50 far as to claim that
breathing compressed air is a remedy
for asthma and emphysema. 1t is also
said to excite digestion, owing to the
great quantity Of oxygen carried into
the blood. 1t has been found that a
period of two hours should elapse be-
tween g meal and a descent. In de-
scending the movement should be slow
and If the pressure causes pains in the
head this can be remedied by rising
gently a few feet, when the descent
can be recontinued. In ascending div
ers are recommended not to exceed a
speed Of two feet a second.-PaH Mall
