LOCAL CREAMERY ONE OF BEST IN STATE

A live well |patronized creamery is
the best community builder "A city,

cry becomes a meal ticket for many

there Is something coming every week

farm business is so dependable and so

branch of it.

that he IA compelled to seek larger
quarters. He decided to build a large
modern creamery, and on July 6, 1916,
moved into the present location which
is properly equipped with the best up
TO date machinery known to the trade.
From the beginning Mr.. Bang has
had in view good butter for the local
and outside customers, good prices
and weights and tests for the farmers
who brought him their cream and
good cream from which TO make the
butter. To this end he has worked
with the farmers to have them care
properly for their milk so that they
would have the best marketable pro
duct. Good milk means good butter
fat and good prices for it. The ream
cry can then produce a good grade of
butter which will command a good
return.
Mr.. Bang has been successful in pro.
dlcing a high grade of butter. In 1914,
he took first prize at the State Fair,
in 1915 first prize in SIX scorings and
was second in the list in 1916. The
three cups a be seen at any time

to Register. While it is generally ex-
pected that the last night Of a legisla-
tive session will be more or less rough,
the finish this time was nearer a real
rough house than any of the others,
and when the house members invaded
the senate with the intent to kidnap
the presiding officer, there was Ger
tainly something doing which was
largely in the way of cane rush at a
college, where there is no "fghting,',
but where if the same results should
result outside of the conditions, an out
slider would think that there was some
thing real going on. While the house
was superior in numbers, the senate
had been loading up for them all day
and had a lot of reserve "ammunition'
in the way of solidly rolled journals in
shape to make a mighty effective mis-
sic, and these were piled where they
We're Immediately available, and were
brought into use by the senate huskies
who gathered about the presiding Off
GERS desk when the invasion poured
into the senate chamber, and by su-
perior generalship managed to keep
their officer with them.
The session has been a busy one for
most of the members, and was marked
by its freedom of attempted plays for
political and factiOnal advantage which
has been n of the features of SEES
sions for a number of years. All were
evidently working together for the
best interests of the state as they saw
it, and the result was that every bill
which was presented was disposed Of
in some name before the final adj
journment, and there was no long cal
endar to clear on the last night, merely
the adjustment of a few differences
between the two houses IN amend
ment which we're only of Importance

who with time on their hands were
playing for position to get what they
wanted. The apportionment bill was
the cause of most of the controversy,

Mr.. Culhane spoke of the harmony
between the town and the college, as
sorting that the town was trying to do
everything it could to be worthy of
such an institution as State College.
He stated that he believed the time
is coming when the state would ap-
propriate money to advertise her edu-
cational institutions the same as she
does to advertise her material re-
sources and opportunities for settlers.
The military department of the col
lege is pleased with the prospects of a
new armory, which was not included
in the regents budget, although sore
ly needed by State College. The mat
ter was reviewed by the state military
department under the adjutant gen.
eral and, with the support Of the gov
ernor and other inter sted, an appro-
priation for $780, 900 carried. Company
c, just returned from service on the

cry vas always just a little above the
average.
Perhaps no institution in Brookings
is doing as much to build up the com
munity interests as this n is. Farm
ers are increasing their herds and go
ing stronger into a branch Of their
business which is the most profitable
of any on the farm. Their farms are
increasing in value, and they have a
steady income from their cows which
pays the store bills and keeps up the
running expenses of the family.
