Dear Friend and Editor III was at

your paper two weeks ago il regard to
the organization Of mix company. and

make success of this business unless

several creameries in the county. and

months ago installed the large plant of

better located for this purpose than JEFF
ferson county. with its fine pastures aud
abundance of cool, clean water and
healthy climate. which has all to do
with the quality and quantity of pure
milk at the least cost for if it pays the
farmers of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
where feed is high which is produced on
the farm, it will certainly pay the farm
ers of Jefferson county. think it is
time that the farmers should sit up and
take noiice, for there is nothing you can
put in farm that will bring as much
ready cash monthly the year round as q

CROTHERS CUTS DOWN BILLS
Maryland Governor Slashes General
Appropriation Measure.
ArOuses Comment by Reducing
Amount to Fight Spread of
Tuberculosis,

Special to The Washington Herald
Annapolis, April s.-Gov. Crothers this
afternoon attached his signature to the
general appropriation bill passed at the
late session of the legislature. although
his approval is practically in the nature
Of a veto, since the governor cut down
the amounts appropriated to various in
stitutions.
The governor closely scrutinized the
bill before taking final action. with the
result that the appropriations were slash
ed right and left, some Of them being
only one-half OF what the general as
sembly agreed upon. The governor, how
ever, after some close figuring. thought
that many of the sums were entirely too
excessive.
The reduction OF the appropriation for
the tuberculosis fund from $1,000 to $500
has caused much resentment throughout
the state. During the recent signing of
bills the governor approved the measure
providing for state care OF the insane.
This action is a blow to Springfield Hos
pital. as that institution is thereby denied
its appropriation OF $4,000.
The governors action in reducing the
general appropriation bill will save to
the State about sSO0, 600. bat Il Is said that
his stand will receive considerable dis
approval
