MissouIa Creamery Improve
mentS.

Since the reorganization of the
Missoula Creamery Co. of Mis-
soula, Mont, last April, much
new equipment has been in
stalled, the plant is being made
one of the finest and most up-to-
date in the state and the business
of the company is being enlarged
and extended along several lines.
The improvements include a
12-ton refrigerating plant and
new and latest machines for pas
teurizing and clarifying.
The butter output has been in
creased to a ton a day and an in
creased demand from the trade is
noted for its 'Missoula Cream
cry" brand. About half of it is
sold locally in Missoula. The
company also makes ice cream, is
establishing milk routes and ex-
poets to engage in the manufac-
ture of cheese and handle eggs
within the next week or ten days.
Farmers are becoming more in
terested in dairying and the COM
pany has just imported two cars
of high grade Holstein- Guernseys
from Wisconsin to sell to farmers
and interest them in developing
better dairy stock.

satisfied with that country. They
harvested big crops last year and
got good prices for the same and
all indications point to another
big yield this year. Last winter
wheat reached as high as 81. IA in
that section and flax went to the
So mark. Quite a lot af flax is
being grown there again this
season.

the whole it was certainly a very
creditable affair. The attractions
were high-class and not failure or a
funk in a single instance.
Both the educational uplift afford
ed and the clean entertainment and
and amusement furnished were and
will continue to be Of great value.
But the point Of greatest benft to
the public is the impetus it gave to
and the opportunity it brought for
the development of the Community
Spirit in Selmer. We need this spirit
to pervade our community life till we
CAN ALL get behind GOOD THING
aud work together to put it by.
The Chautauqua helps to develop
this spirit. True it is hardly to be
expected that ALL will fully agree
and heartily work at any one thing
even if it is a good one: so in this
case the "Knocker" was abroad with
his little hammer, but he really hurt
no one, and next time he will join us
as booster instead Of a Buster"
Financially the venture was not a
money maker, hut no one expected it
would pay in dollars. Its returns are
in a higher coin than the government
mints afford; they are in higher
thoughts and better lives, and this
cannot be measured nor paid for by
the standard Of Dollars. The deficit
was met by the IL guarantors and
not one of them finched or failed. 1t
was really refreshing to see the nerve
displayed and the cheerful readiness
with which they paid their part. No
one was sore or complained, but each
felt that he had helped to furnish a
good and helpful week for the people
of the town. At the meeting of the
committee of guarantors after the
close and all expenses had been met
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1916-06-30

every one present was strong in the
hope and determination to have bet
ter Chautauqua for next year than we
have had this.
Resolutions were passed thanking
the young ladies, Misses Hagy and
Gooch, for their splendid programs
they furnished for the free morning
hours, also to the authorities of the
churches who so generously loaned
their seats and chairs, and to the
court house officials for the use of the
chairs. This spirit of cooperation on
the part Of the young ladies, and of
the court house and church authori-
ties and Of many of the public spirit
ed citizens of the town, if fostered
and nurtured, will put us in line for
many great things for the town and
county and state. =
1t will help US not only to have a
Chautauqua for all but it will get US
together for better sidewalks and
streets and for good roads in the
county; it will help US to better pub
lie health facilities, better schools and
higher schools; it will develop Civic
Pride and we will soon find our NUM-
clpal affairs improved, homes more
artistic. our lawns more carefully
kept. and soon we will expect to lay
ont fine park and have better rest
and recreational facilities. better
work for our workers and better
TOWN FOR ALL. In line with this
hope the contract for the return of
the Chautauqua has already been
signed by as many guarantors as we
had this time, but we want as many
more for the next years coming. CT
course they will be found, for our citi.
zens will not let this chance pass. So
let's get ready and all pull together
for better things.
Very truly,
H. P. WOOD,
Secy.

Just as well not delay longer
the thrashing the Mexicans need.
By the time this is read the,prob-
abilities are the job is going on.
1t looks like it is inevitable unless
we simply tuck our tails and let
them murder and rob our border
people. The base treachery at
Carrizal should be the battle cry.
The people are aroused, and
united in one mind on making it
a fight they will long remember.

fought with Forrest and his men,
And wore the rebel gray,
And fer the part that | took then
I'm not ashamed to-day.
But boys, it's now one glorious land,
And but one Flag we know.
The North and South go hand in hand
And march to Mexico.
We're fxin fer agin;
feel it in the air.
1t may be- fghtin is sin,
But this time don't care.
Nothin will do them Mexkins
But shove
Why. dern their yeler, pzen skins,
They want another fuss!
You know what Davy Crockett said
Old Dave Of Tennessee:
Be shore you're right. then go ahead!''
Boys. that's the stuff fer me.
Dave smote the Mexikns with might
And died at Alamo.
Now, maybe we'll have to fight
And SAVE old Mexico.

And MAKE the trouble cease
We're not a-lookin fer their land

But that there sneakin, murderin band
Has devled us enough.

1t did not depress her: she knew her.
self to be In the presence Of COM
munion. Gerry was devoting the hour
Of his return to the scenes Of his boy
hood to a silent conservation. These
cool valleys and hollows; the Lew
road, with its purling accompaniment
Of hidden waters; the embowered still
nave of Long lane, were as the ances-
trail halls Of the Lansings. 1t was right
that he should do homage to the men,
cries they evoked.
To his mother Gerry made no eIpla-
nations. He knew that to her 1t was
enough that her boy had come back.
When Mrs. Lansing released him, AliI
caught his hand and led him up to the
nursery. Together they looked down
upon their sleeping child.
Gerry, Jr.. was fat to the verge of
split. His curly tow head was
tousled and on his brow a slight per-
splration testified to the labor of sound
sleep. His arms were outstretched.
His legs had kinks at the knees. they
were so chubby. His petulant little
mouth was half open, disclosing tiny
teeth.
Isn't he beauty?" asked Alix a lit
tie loudly, wishing he would awaken.
Gerry nodded. With his eyes still
on the child he put his arm around
Alix and drew her to him. What Mar
garita had done for him, Alix had done.
As he felt her frail body quiverins in
his embrace. as he looked back and
measured the sacrifice by what the
awful night of the coming of the Man
had taught him, he was overwhelmed
by new humility. He turned Alix's
face up to his. His lips moved In an
effort to thank her but words failed
him. Alix understood. She lifted her
arms around his neck and drew his
head down. He held her body very
close as he kissed her, softly, ador-
ingly. Alix hid her face against his
shoulder for a moment and then threw
back her head and shook the tears
from her eyelashes. She smiled through
wet e~es. 81 am afraid he's not quite
perfect-Inside Such a temper, Gerry.
I'm afraid he'll grow up into a man

turned grave eyes on Gerry, Jr., and
her brows puckered. "what do you

Gerry smiled. From the looks OF
him I predict he gets his letter in
