the meeting. Mr.. Schmolke made "a
very interesting talk on the oppor.
tunities to be had by the establish
ment of a creamery; giving facts and
figures that convinced every one pres
ent that the proposition was due seri-
Gus consideration. Mr.: Schmolke did
not attempt to give his hearers long
fowery talk, but went directly into
the facts of the matter.
After Mr.. Schmolke had finished
his address tie meeting was trown op-
en- for discussion, and without an ex-
ception every one expressing them
selves on the subject spoke very much
in favor of it, however, it was agreed

was a wise step and that it would be
successful u zSsf$
