Gone TO Florida,

Mr.. H. L. Snyder, the editor OF the
Register, left on Monday for Florida
and he expects to spend the balance Of
this month in the sunshine Of the
Flowery State. Referring TO an cpl
sode that occurred last year when he
started on his southern trip, no less
than 437 persons have gratuitpusly ad-
vised him to keep a close watch on his
pocketbook. He was beginning to get
peeved over this unSeemly solicitude,
more apparent than real and he only
stopped it by threatening TO borrow
money from those who insisted upon
bringing the unhappy incident to his
mind when he was doing his best TO for
get it. The editor hopes to enjoy an IN,
usually pleasanttrip. He will be with tho
National Editorial Association. which
will be in session three or four days
this week and then start on two weeks
:our Of Florida, visiting the important
cities and resorts on tine West Coast
ar the wonderful Lake county Sec
tion, then to Daytona. Palm Beach. Fort
l.auderdale and otner places winding
up the trip at Miami. I, is expected
that five or six hundred Editors will
be in the party, ard the people Of
Florida have raised a funi OF 100000
for their entertainment. They will be
transported by special trains, bv boat
and by automobile, and a wonderfully
attractive programme has been ar
ranged.
The Register will. Of course, get
alonc very well without the chief. but
those in charge nevertheless implore
its friends to come to their help bv
sending in news items and writing
special articles to fill up its columns.

KearneysvilIe Creamery Flourisbes

Plans are being formed to increase
facilities at the Kearneysville Cream
cry, which is reported to have paid out
$4,000 for milk and cream last year.
Ihey now propose to ship a car of milk
to Washington and one to Baltimore
every day, the ice for refrigerating
the cars to be made at the creamery.
which will be equipped with a machine
to turn out six tons a day. This milk
will later be shipped in glass lined
cars, no cans being used.
Both butter and cheese are being
manufactured now. However, most Of
the milk is condensed and shipped to
large icecream factories in Washing
ton, Cumberland and Hagerstown.
More money can be had for the whole
milk and thus the creamery will soon
be enabled to pay the farmers a high
er price for their milk
The Kearneysville Creamery is own
ed and controlled by Jefferson county
farmers. These men are dairymen
selling their milk to their own plant
just as any other patron. The officers
are w. A. Fulk, president; G. d. W.
song, treasurer; and G. w. Blue. man.
