THE WALDORF CREAMERY.

In this issue appears a notice Of a
stockholders meeting OF the Southern
Maryland Cooperative Creamery Asso-
citation to be held June % for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not the
organization shall continue as strictly
business corporation or the charter be
so amended as to make it conform with
the recent Cooperative Law.
The problem is a more or less difficult
one because OF the fact that the majority
of stock was subscribed for by business
people in the several coanties who will
not become patrons Of tlk association
and consequently whose interest would
seem to lean toward the business corpora
ton, yet, on the other hand, the thing
was originally started with the co-opera-
tive idea and it is unfortunate that the
farmers did not respond in sufficient num-
bers to have financed the undertaking. 1t
has been suggested that the non-farmer
stockholders would be willing to turn
over their holdings to the farmers OF
Southern Maryland if they would come
in in sufficient numbers to take this stock
up and thus put the creamery on a
strictly cooperative basis. This would
seem TO be the wisest thing for the pro-
Queer to do, but action would have to
be taken not later than at the meeting
on the 9th, as under the law the choice
must be made before July LIST.
The creamery has now been in actual
operation just little more than a month
and has made wonderful showing for
SO short time. During the first month
of its life it paid to the farmers OF
Southern Maryland close to one thou
sand dollars for the cream produced and
now numbers about eighty-fve on its
list of shippers. The Board Of Direc-
tors has secured an excellent buttermaker
in the person Of Mr.. w. A. Cooke, a
native Of Virginia, and a man with an
understanding Of our people and condi-
tions, who is well skilled in his line OF
endeayor, having prepared in the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, which maintains
one Of the finest dairy courses in the
country, and he is turning out a won
derfully fine product.
In addition to the creamery operation
a plant is turning cut about five tons Of
ice per day and there is every indication
that the enterprise is going to succeed
and be OF inestimable value to the three
southern counties.

LONDON. April 2S.-Now that the
Duke of York is married. people of
all classes in England are beginning

their queries:
when will the Prince of Wales
marry"
"And whom will he marry"
Those who would be in the best
position to know the answer to these
questions, if there were answers pos
sible at this time, say that the prince
is not as yet even considering the
matter, in spite of the fact that both
in court and governmental circles,
II is common knowledge that much
pressure is being brought to bear on
the heir to the throne to select his
bride.
Bridesmaids Marry.
The public at large, in addition to
feeling a natural desire for unbroken
succession to the British throne, are
Influenced by the power of sugges-
ton. There Is the fact that within
fifteen months both Princess Mary
and the Duke of York have been mar
ried. Then also four out of eight
of the bridesmaids who attended
Princess Mary, all of whom figure
prominently in court circles, are
either married or engaged-all of
which has impressed the public mind.
AS yet, the desire for the princes
marriage has been voiced only by dis
Greet little paragraphs In newspapers
as was the case following Princess
Mary's wedding-but it is interesting
to note that the tone of these para
graphs is gradually growing more in
sistent.
1t cannot be doubted that Wales
has lost some of his popularity during
the past year. Perhaps this Is at
tributable as much to his frequent
habit of riding in the steeplechases
without regard to possible conse-
quences, as to anything else.
The announcement of his engage

some old family Of the English no.
