How To Have Ready Money.
Aberdeen.-The Aberdeen Cream.
cry, which is owned and operated by
Frank JcSnson, recently shipped a
1O,OO0-pound car load of butter to the
Piggly-Wiggly company in New Or
leans. This creamery will average two
carloads of butter every week during
the year. They pay out $4,000 every
week for cream. This money is scat
tered over several counties, but Mon.
roe county farmers get the bulk Of
it. Forty thousand month is paid
out by the Aberdeen creamery to it's
patrons.
When Frank Johnson came to Aber-
deem few years ago, there were very
few high bred cows in Monroe county,
but now nearly every farm has one to
dozen good cows, and they have
ready money the year round.
1t has been necessary for the cream.
cry to enlarge their plant. They have
installed a system for handling cans
that will save the employees at the
plant much time. A milk can that is
shipped to the Aberdeen creamery is
handled % times from the time it
lands at the depot until it is shipped
back. With the new system it will re-
duce the handling of cans.

has granted permission to the Unite

peiin Of tbs L7O type. This decision
marks the end OF diplomatic negotia
lions which have preceded between tn,
allied powers and the United State
since July last.
The application for the construction

The United States based its applica.
ton on the grounds that It was en-.
titled to an airship under Germany's
separations agreement. The council OF
ambassadors referred the matter to the
principal allied powers, and several
notes are said to have been exchanged.

allied council of ambassadors for the

L
Beriin.-I am able to give out q doc

important historical records connecte,
with the world war.
| 1t is the ex-kaisers own defense I,
the charge that he and Germany were
responsible for the greatest conflic
in the worlds history.
In the dark hours Just before the
break OF dawn, the former kaiser
crossed into Holland. That was in No
yember, 1918. Today he has broken
the silence OF three years.
There have been alleged Inter
views" by persons who claim to have
talked with the kaiser. There have
been quotations direct and indirect.
but the authenticity of none OF these
has Withstood close scrutiny. ALI in
TACT have been denied officially.
The ex-kaiser has yielded to the
pressure that he say something. And
then in the darkest hour, with the EN-.
press near death, he sat down and
wrote letter to Hindenburg In an.
swer to one his former field marshal
had written him.
1t is that letter and the one Hinden.

IN making public the letters the field
marshal assumes all responsibility.
