BUSINESS GROWING

The Mason creamery is expected
to break all records for the month of
June according to Manager c. G..
Melin, who is now in charge. Last
month the. creamery set a new record
for May when 27,915 Lbs. of butter
was churned. The record for May
1921 was FL, 139. The record for
the month of June is expected to ex-
ceed the 10000 mark.
This is a remarkable increase in
view of the fact that two new cream
cries have been started in the vici-
nifty during the past year, one at
Benoit and one at Grandview. Watch
us grow.

Barring the Hymn of Hate.

When the new ambassador to
Germany begins to apply what the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch (Ind) calls
his gospel good will toward our
late enemy to counteract the influ-
ence of the hymns of hate" he
will be given the encouragement
and support of the American press.
Before sailing for his new and
probably difficult. post, Ambassador
Houghton made a speech which is
interpreted editorially as a state
ment of his policy in dealing with
German American rela ions, the
outstanding point of which is that
hate serves no useful purpose.
...... 1t leads only to confusion
and distrust," and has mo moral.
spiritual or. even economic value"
Such a declaration suggests to
the New London Comm Day
(Rep) that Mr. Houghton takes
the very sensible view that one of
the most important duties he has
to perform is to win the friendship
of the German people" and an am
bassador who has that ambition,
the paper thinks, lis sure to prove
valuable to the country he repre-
sents as well as that to which he
goes"
Curiously enough, most of the
editorial comment on the new am
bassador's gospel is inspired not
so much by the speech itself as by
the criticism it drew from the New
York Tribune (Rep.). Mr.. Hough-
ton. the Tribune thinks, has seen
fit to discuss German-American re-
Iations in a manner which he VIII
scarcely expect will make a great
hit in America, even though much
admired in Berlin" for his discus
sion of the doctrine of hate is large
ly a "paraphrase of the favorite
preachment OF Vierick."
Nevertheless it is evident that
the Buffalo News (Rep.), for IN
stance, speaks for the majority
opinion when it declares that the
good feeling and good sense" OF
Ambassador Houghton's policy
will be recognized throughout the
country" and, the Jackson (M1ch-)
Citizen-Patriot CInd) remarks. as
a statement or principles II Is
pleasing.
War Days Are Gone.
Criticism of his attitude arises,
the Watertown IN. " Standard
(Rep.) thinks, because his lack or
"bitter anti-German feeling" from
the many persons for whom the
war is not vet over, but off cially
the United States and Germany
nave wiped out the war days" and
since the relations are such that
we are automatically represented
in Berlin at all, the Standard com

in which Mr., Houghton goes to re-
sumo those relations.
Taking direct issue with the
New York Tribune, the World
(Dem.) of the same city asks:
Must an American diplomat, be-
fore leaving his own country, seek
to render himself obnoxious in his
new post abroad? Must he take up
old issues and tear open old
wounds in order to prove himself
fitting representative of the Unit
ed States at Berlin? Rather, it re-
plies, the time is past for tanning
old passions as the best proof of
patriotism. II is no disloyalty at
this day to practice common sense
and observe the ordinary rules of
courtesy"
Further, friendly Cancellation
with the new Germany does not
mean any concession to the Ger
man spirit that was so offensive
both before our entrance into the
war and after the Cincinnati
Times-Star (Rep) adds. There is
such a thing as diplomacy" it OBJ
serves, land being a diplomat. Mr..
Houghton proffers the hand of
friendship. That does not make
him less OF an American, and GER
tainly it makes him a better am
bassador."
