A big run of cattle, fully 5000

A representative of a Cincin.
natl creamery was here Tuesday
to see the few different farmers
in the county who are now ship
ping cream to market. He rep
resents good firm and succeed
ed in getting several Of the farm
ers to make change. He made
a whirlwind campaign IN his au-
tomoblle, covering the territory
in one day. The only unfortu.
nate thing about this business is
that more farmers are not cream
shippers. 1t has been stated by
a leading farmer of Fayette coun-
ty that he has found out that IT
takes no more feed to produce
pound of butter than it does TO
produce a pound of beef, and the
price for the butter is always
more than double the price of the
beef.
We hope to see more cream
men come into our midst, and 30
see them go to all the farmers
instead of just the few cream
shippers. We have been telling
them of the profits in shipping
cream. They either don't be-
lieve US, or don't want the profits
bad enough, or they have not the
COWS or money to buy them.
These persons might listen to the
arguments of one more expert.
enced than ourselves.

j. Kelly Giffin, who will be the
new Principal of Stanton College,
and Mrs. Glffin, are very fine
people. Bro. Giffin was assist
ant and private secretary to DR..
Montgomery, President of that,
College, and taught English and
Latin for years after graduating.
He is a pastor of great ability
and is liked by his people very
much. Rev. and Mrs. Hanley
have left a splendid work for
Bro. Gifiin to carry on, and we
trust that the new church which
Bro. Hanley has done so much
toward having built, will soon be
under construction.
Mrs. John w. Williams and
sister, Mrs. Kate Bohannan, re-
turned from Philadelphia Sunday
night. Mrs. Williams had been
called by telegram to see her son
Harvey Wells, serving in 2nd
Bat. 9Th Regiment, u. s. Ma.
rine Corps. His company had
been ordered to France. She
arrived just two hours tefore her
son went aboard one of Uncle
Sans big battleships. Harvey
had been promoted to corporal
and was proud OF his uniform
and squad of men he had to
train, and that he had been Sc
lected as one of Gen. Pershing's
1900 marines. We are glad to
hear of Harvey's good success
and we know that he will make
good wherever he goes. Mrs.
Williams and her sister visited
New York City before returning
home.

When President Wilson issued

Production and handling of

are fundamental industries OF

go ahead with their plans. Rail
roads should spare no effort to
supply the building industry with
