The Oakland Creamery, under the
management of Mr.. L. W. Hopkins, is
one of the busy spots in Oakland during
this season of the year. The output of
the creamery in butter, milk and cream
is eagerly sought after by the local
people and Mr.. Hopkins is unable to
fill the demand, even though the product
were doubled He also has standing
orders for many pounds of butter for
out of-town consumers, which if filled
would require the entire output of the
creamery and leave none for local sale.
Every comfort that can be drawn
around the old people ought to be held
as duty, to perform which will warm
the hearts of the young people. The
heat of their day has passed; all the
stormy mornings and the torrid noon
have gone by, and they are now in the
twilight waiting for the stars. 1t is a
good thing to draw nantes about them
as the night air begins to grow cold.
1t is good thing to provide music for
the ears that are not much longer to
hear, good thing with songs and with
cheer to steady their steps down the
farther slope.

The Republican job printing establish
ment completed on last Saturday the
second edition of two thousand copies
of the constitution and bylaws of the
Maryland Conservation Association, of
which former Senator w. McCulloh
Brown is president. The Association
held an enthusiastic meeting in Mccoy
Hall, Baltimore, on Tuesday and yester-
day when prominent speakers were
heard, men who consider conservation
one of the biggest problems of the
country and who have made a deep
study of question. For a time the
cause of conservation in Maryland was
more or less lost one, but the last
National congress held in Washington
aroused an intrest that was so wide
spread and so largely attended by
Marylanders that new organization
was formed, growing out of an older
one that existed some years ago, and
the interest in conservation may be en-
jOying an enthusiastic renaissance.
The Maryland Conservation Association
is that organization and to it Senator
Brown is bending his energies.
