BUfS INTEREST
IN CREAMERY
Robert Mckinney has Pur-
kchased Half Interest
New Machinery W i'll be In
stalled and Plant Will
be Operated.

Robert Mckinney, manager of
the Bayfield, County Telephone
company in this city, and also a
creamery man of many years of
experience, has purchased a
half interest in the White Rose
Creamery Co. in this city with
d. M. Maxcy and the two will
continue to operate the plant.
New machinery for the cream
cry has been ordered and will
include an up-to-date ice cream
machine, which will arrive some
time this week and will be in
stalled, making this one of the
best equipped creamery plants
in this part of the state.
William E. Taitt of Comstock
has been engaged and will have
active charge Of the plant, and
the business of the institution
will be handled in a business
like manner.
The field here is an excellent
one for a creamery plant and
with the increased herds in this
community enough cream can
be secured to make the institu-
ton a big one.
Mr.. Mckinney, one of the pro-
prietors, has been very success
full in building up creamery
plants. He believes in using the
farmers right and giving them
the highest market price for
their cream, and already a large
number have signified their in
tention of again supplying the
plant in this city with their
butter fat and cream.

Without Radical Changes Would Take
long Time to Produce Efficient
Fighting Force.

washington. - The United States
naVy's whole system of government
and operation, from education OF Off.
GERS to questions Of ship and gun con-
struction, was sharply criticised besoro
the mouse naval committee by Rear
Admiral Cameron MGR. Winslow, com.
mander-in.chief of the Pacific fleet.
Without radical changes, the admiral
DECLARED, fully efficient fighting
force comparable to the British navy
could not be produced in so years.
The witness said the system of
education at Annapolis Naval Acad.
emy was wrong and urged restora-
ton OF the old grade Of midshipmen in
the fleet. Boys should enter the SER
vice at from IA to 16 years Of age, he
said, spend two years in preliminary
schooling ashore, then go to sea to &C.
quire the sea habit" from actual con
tact with things Of the sea before com
pleting their educations ashore.
The polytechnic education now
given midshipmen at the Academy is
utterly unsuited, the admiral declared,
to the training of men to handle ships
and combinations of ships at sea. He
could see no value to be gained from
making all navy officers experts in
higher mathematics, and thought con-
structors, engineers, and ordnance ex-
perts, should be trained as specialists
and never be called upon to command
ships.
From the days boys entered the
academy, he said. a system OF selec-
tion should be applied to govern pro-
motions. eliminating men untitled for
the daring, nerve-racking tasks that
would be theirs in war. He added
that fellow officers should determine
these qualifications and that plan
Of this sort was being worked out by
the navy department.
With two opposing fleets sweeping
toward each other over the sea for
an action to be carried out at speed
Of 90 knots or more, the admiral in
sisted, there would be no time for
hesitation by any ship commander. He
told Of how he trained squadron OF
four dreadnaughts he commanded two
years ago until his orders were carried
out within six seconds Of the time he
gave them, 60 manuevers being carried
out in single forenoon.
