While in Orleans Mr.. Liverance
praised the creamery for it's neat,
clean and tidy condition, especially
speaking of the first class machinery.
This section of the country is an
ideal section for extensive dairying
The creamery conditions at Orleans are
second to none in the estimation of
the government expert. Mr.. Liver
ance expressed wonderment that the
farmers surrounding the creamery did
not take better TO dairying. Mr.. Liver
ance claims that it will be necessary
for every farmer to give more time TO
this branch of farm work sooner or
later. Certainly no better opportunity
is offered for marketing the dairy pro-
ducts that that offered by the Orleans
Creamery.

ON SPRINkLING MATTER
Chicago, Ill.
The Bedding Banner,
Bedding, Michigan.
GnntIana

Beidfng, Michigan.
Gentlemen:
/ have noticed with interest the
communication of the water commits
sion in the last issue Of the Banner,
In which they refer to a new method
of sprinkling the street as being the
least expensive for the merchants.
From the attitude the Board takes
on this matter, / am evidently entire
~ wrong on this proposition. but |
cannot understand why the sprinkling
of Main street can be considered a
proposition for the merchants instead
of for the city. / would suggest that
you write editors of papers in the
surrounding towns and cities and find
out who pays for the sprinkling of the
main business thoroughfare, in these
towns.
i believe the business men of Beld-
ing would be interested in having this
information. and no doubt you would
be willing to gather it,
Ii seems to me that il is to the in
terest of the entire city, as much as it
is to the merchants to have Main
street thoroughly sprinkled at all
times. Yours very truly,
Nern G. Divine.

ton suggested Editor

DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT NICKEbs

From the Kansas City Star.
Perhaps you have, through lack I
small change, found it necessary to
pay street car fare with a dollar, or
a bill of larger denomination. Per-
haps. too, as sometimes happens, the
conductor has handed you back a
handful of nickels. From his spiteful
air you gain the impression that he
is taking this method to reprove you.
1t is interesting to know that the
nickel scent piece and the bronze
cent are legal tender only in amounts
less than twenty-five cents. Half
dollars, quarters and dimes are legal
tender for amounts not exceeding
so. Silver dollars are full legal ten
der unless otherwise specified by con-
tract. The only metallic coins which
are full legal tender for all debts
public and private, are the gold
coins, the double eagles, half eagles
and quarter eagles.
