Cream Delivery.

the Richland country, will begin
hauling cream at once, and will
make two trips weekly, going
out Tuesdays and Fridays and
returning Wednesdays ard Sat
urdays.
That's tie present program.
Later on, as the business justi-
ties, the trips can be changed to
tri-weekly, and of course when
the business becomes too heavy
for the tri-weekly trips it can be
changed to daily.
Mr.. Lockwood has the exact
right idea for starting this truck
business. For the present he
will make the through trips from
Stonington to Lamar, and will
take on cream anywhere along
the way.
Thus Mr.. Lockwood will be
guaranteed load going up.
Then to come back he will carry
any kind of small freight desired,
especially in the express line,
and from present indications he
will have all he can carry both
ways.
As an instance, he went up
last Monday to make the necces-
sary arrangements for the hand
ling of the cream at Lamar, and
had ths promise of all the freight
he could bring hack just for vi
las and Stonington alone.
We are very doubtful of his a:
bility te haul the cream that will
accumulate all the way from
Stonington fo r sem,-weeky trips
when the cows get at their best,
and those having COWS once
know there is an actual market
for their cream. However, as
already stated, it will he an eaGy
matter then t6 change to three
times a week. and should it be-
come necessary te change to dai.
ly the cream would be brought
In by the mail lines to Springfield
and Mr.. Lockwood would then
make his trips daily between
Springfield and Lamar.
II this doesn't happen this
year, it viii at least by next year
this time be a certainty, as by
then the industry will have pass

mental stage and the farmers
will get into it knowing the mar
ketis established and that there
is money in it.
For year the Herald has
worked hard to get this
cream business started.
1t was for this purpose
that the commercial club was
organized last fall, few
in which have remained
on the firing line right
up to tho present, and haven't
left a stone unturned for the &C.
complishment of the purpose
for which the club was brought
into existence.
The Herald and those who have
worked with it and with the club
have done this work and stayed
in the fight because they knew
the salvation of this new settle
ment is in turning Rsca county
into a dairying camp.
We all knew that the great big
fight would be in getting truck
line started, and we believed that
when the line was once establish
ed the bust ness would take care
of itself, and we are satisfied
that this viii prove to be she
case.
The only thing in the way of
this new project at the present
time are the horrible roads be-
tween here and Lamar.
In this connection we would
commend to th' careful considera-
ton Of Lamar. the thoughtful
suggestion. of CONGRESSMAN
