Most creamery butter is made from
cream separated by hand-operated
machines on the farms where the
milk from which it comes is pro-
duced.
We take no such chances on the
character of the cream from which
we make Clover Hill Butter.
Even granting other butter manufacturers may
make their butter so far as the making Of II IS con-
cerned, under desirable conditions; even granting
that the handling of their butter after II is made
may be sufficiently safeguarded-ev9p granting
these things, we contend and We can prove that the
best butter the pureSt butter, the cleanest butter
the sweetest butter cannot be made from
cream separated on the farm often in the barns,
and held by the farmer for three or four days,
maybe longer, until he has a sufficient quantity to
ship 10 the creamery at low shipping expense.
Clover Hill Butter, the worlds best
butter, simply couldn't be made
from such cream.
Clover Hill Butter is made from whole-rilk cream.
We buy at our creamerieS nothing but whole milk
never a pound of cream separated on the farm.
1t costs us more money to bring in fresh whole milk
the express and shipping charges increased cost
of labor in handling the larger bulk. The whole
method entails increased expense, but it also assures
absolutely pure, clean cream
Buying only y hole milk we always know by our
daily tests the condition of every shippers COWS;
we know the purity and cleanliness of his milk;
and because of the unexcelled hygienc conditions in
our creameHes, we know the cream IS kept pure and
clean-never subjected to contamination.

DIR. VAN DEvENTER KILLED.
A Horrible Railroad Accident at
Laddonia-Mrs. McVey
Also Hurt.

DR.. Edwin Drake yandeventei
was instantly killed by the c. 6
A. Hummer" a fast train fror
Kansas City to Chicago, about II
o clock last Monday night, at Lal
donna.
After the fire works display
after the Fourth in Laddonia. il
appears that DIR. Vandeventer
went home, but on learning that
his son, William, aged about Is.
had not gotten in yet, he returned
up town to look for him. 1t was
about time for the east bound
Hummer" to go thru and the
Doctor went to the depot. The
train was in sight. A Mr.. Bran
stetter stood on the south side of
the track and desired to pass over
but stopped till the train should
go by. Lus Eastman stood on the
platform, on the north side of the
track, in front of the telegraph
office window. Mrs. Ben McVcv.
wife OF the night telegraph opera
tor, stood a little to the east of
Eastman about opposite the door
to the ladies' waiting room. As
the train went by Eastman saw an
object go thru the air in front of
him which he thought to be a mail
sack. The object struck Mrs. NJ
Vey, knocking her perhaps IS
feet and she was picked up un-
conscious. Near her was the man
gled body of DR.. Vandeventer.
That was the object Eastman saw
fly in front Of him, knocked and
thrown by the rapidly moving
train. The Doctors left arm.
neck, back and left leg were
broken, ana his life passed out in
stantly Branstetter did not see
Vandeventer before he was hurt.
1t is supposed Branstetter',s at
tentlon was taken by the train and
hence the reason he did not see
Vandeventer as he rushed by him
and undertook to pass over the
railroad track.
Mrs. McVey, from her hurt, was
unconscious considerable of the
time Tuesday, but yesterday she
was reported better and it is ex
pected that she will safely re.
cover.
DIR. Vandeventer was a brother
Of Mrs. John Y. Brown of Mexico
and was schoolmate of DR.. J. f.
McWilliams here. He never failed
TO drop IN to see DIR. McWilliamS
whenever he came to Mexico. DR..
Vandeventer's father was also IA
doctor and was located for many
years on Cuivre, this county.
Deceased is survived by his
wife, who was the daughter of the
