of some of the present ones such as but.
ter and cheese for which the dairy is
specially equipped and which the indivI-
dual farmers do rot offer for the present
at least. Will prices be cheaper? Per-
haps for now until the dairy is forced outof
business. On the whole we don't like this
chopping and changing in business and
if the selling of milk individually spells
the ultimate closing Of the dairy
then we fear it will do the communi-
ty no good. TFat we have such an in
stituuon in Christiansted is always an as
set to the place. One doesn't have to be
chasing about town to get a bottle OF
milk, and one feels toIerably certain that
the milk served is clean and Of a good
quality. 1t is our opinion that this place
cannot support two independent and fu'
Iy equipped diaries. and in attempting o
create two we will soon have none. II
opening of a milk room by MIS-. JOrgenSen
the other day did not last long. Probat
ly the dairy members will make an effort
to adjust their differences if they have
any and the instItutian which the public
has grown to appreciate may yet be pei
mitted to survive in the interest of all
the farmers alike.

EDITORIAL.

AS will have been noted by an ad
which was inserted for the first time on
Saturday, Mr.. M. A. Roman. proprietor
of Estate 10 Vry Hill, has placed his milk
on the market selling directly to TIE con-
sumner instead of through the Christian
sted Cooperative Dairy as heretofore.
Mr.. Roman is established on the pre-
misses formerly known as Miss Marie
Fross's store. As regards the open selling
of milk ny individual dairymen it is
questionable whether the public has any
thing to gain by it although it may in
crease the returns of those entering upon
it. We have no axe to grind in this mat
ter and neither wish to boost the Cooper
ative Dairy nor oppose the retailers.
However this is how we look at it: The
Christians;ed Cooperative Dairy was
started some years ago by progressively
inclined farmers who it must be sup
posed had previously given this matter
their careful consideration and must
have found it at least in their own inter
est to establish this cooperative plan Of
dIsposing OF their milk and other dairy
products. The arguments advanced at
the time why this dairy was an improve
ment on the earlier method Of serving
the public are only too fresh to memory
10 call for a REPETITION of them here.
Everybody appreciates t sanitary hand
ling, the facility to get milk at any time
of the day, the advantage of having
fresh butter at the table every morning,
the skinned milk which is a veritabIe
blessing to those less fortunate patrons
whose means do not admit of sweet
whole milk; cream that was otherwise
never seen here now an Innovation of
the cooperative dairy; and so on. Of
late cheese is added to the list of things
the dairy offers. The business has to all
outward appearances %prospered and just
recently an expert dairyman from Den
mark has come out to still improve the
quality of the products. This institution
furthermore affords a living to a number
of natives. In all seriousness we ask,
what's the occasion for a change at this
time? Is it in the interest Of the public?
We can scarcely see our way to answer in
the affirmative since there were times
when the individual members of the
Christiansted Cooperative Dairy had a
better opportunity of showing such in
terest and it was not shown. Does this
separation of members mean better pro-
ducts to the public? Hardly for at all
events i; will involve he discontinuance

BATHING BEAUTIES
TO Be AT RYLANDER
AL Harris and Girls Who Shock
ed Macon Stopped From Pa
rading Here BY Chief Bragg

Jacksonville bathing beauties
girls who shocked the morals of
Macon police and citizens, ard
who we're not allowed to parade in
bathing costumes as planned there,
are in Americas for a stay of all
night
The girs and their chaperones
came in this afternoon, arriving at
3 80 o'clock. And they are beau
ties, too. At least that is the opin-
ion of them expressed this after
noon by Manager Herring, Of The
Ryander, after an inspection Of
the party.
Sadly enough, the girls won't be
able to stage a costume parade as
they had intended in the business
section of Americas. The dozen
or more interested males who sat
all morning in the lobby of the
Windsor awaiting arrival of che
beauties will be disappointed. Inc
girls came in-but they came by
automobile and entered Americas
by a circuitous route-and in bath
ing suits Of the latest approved
pattern.
AL Harris, manager of the girls,
said this afternoon that he was sor-
ry he and the girls had paraded
through about half of Americas be-
fore he met Chief of Police John
T. Bragg, because the chief re-
quested a postponement Of the pa
rade. In fact, the chief stated he
had ben told by Mayor j. E. Poole
to prevent the parade-anl Al says
he always likes to accommodate
the police.
At Fort Valley the girls were
entertained by a number Of city
officials and accompani dby q
number of town shieks' they pa
raded within the confines Of that
progressive village much to the de-
light Of all.
Because of their inability to
stage a parade in bathing costumes
here this afternoon, Manager Ha-
ris arrangd to have the girls al
the Rylander Theatr tonight. And
it is expected that their appear
ance there will attract many pa
irons there.

AGGIE HERD GETS
new EQUIPMENT
Twenty Cow Milking Machine
Installed, Together With
Modern Separator Machine

The Third District Agricultural
and Mechanical school here now
owns one Of the finest dairy herds
in this section Of Georgia, and dur
ing the summer months supplies q
goodly quantity Of pure cream to
the Americas Creamery, where tnisi
is made into "Americus-Maid" but
ter. This herd is maintained en-
tirely upon the schools permanent
pasture, with supplemental rations
from the school farm, and many Of
the cows therein are producing
splendid cream yields
Recently, under direction Of
Prof. Caswell, farm superintendent,
there has been installed at the
Aggie a modern twenty-cow milk
ing machine. This machine insures
the highest possible degree Of sani-
tation in handling milk produced, as
no human hand touches the COW at
any time during the milking opev-
alton The apparatus, of course, is
thoroughly sterilized twice daily.
While there are only fifteen cows
milking in the herd now, it is plan
ned to increase this at early date
so as to utilize the full capacity Of
She machine, and a number Of
cows will come in fresh during next
month.
The entire herd is tick free,
and has been certified by state au~
thorities, as well as by DR.. Staple
ton, Americas city veterinarian.
Periodical tubercular inspections
are made in this herd, and never
has the least trace of this been
found. All Of the cows in the herd
are either registered Jerseys or
grade heifers, raised upon the
school fran and bred up by cross
ing with the Bull Club males sever
al Of which are kept at The school
from time to time.
Another Improvement recently
installed at the school dairy is
No. Is DeLaYalle cream separator.
This modern machine, it IS claimed,
will receive a much greater proper
ton Of cream than can be separated
through the methods generally used,
and Principal France is enthusiast
tic in his endorsement of the pro-
cess.
During the winter months, when
there are more than hundred
students attending the school, the
herd will be unable to furnish
more than a nominal amount Of
cream to the creamery, but pan
IS being considered that involves
the selling of cream and buying Of
butter, it being claimed that this
can be done with apparent eco
nomy.

WASHINGTON, August 49,
President Coolidge has been adyis-
ed Of the successful landing of the
reparations conference at which
the American Dawes plan Of set
Element was formally adopted By
both the Germans 4and allied ma
tons. Ambassador Kellogg, in re-
porting the success of the confer
ence Of President Coolidge, said:
The international conference has
reached an agreement assuring that
the Dawes plan will be put into
execution at an early date. 1t has
been arrived at in the face of mary
difficulties and was possible only
by reason Of the patriotic attitude
and firm determination OF all Allied
and German delegates. 1 believe it
presages d period of tranquility and
increased prosperity in European
countries, the beneficial influence
which would be reflected through
out the world.
The support you have given to
the report of the experts committee.
under the Craftsmanship Of General
Dawes, the encouragement to the
Iabors of the conference contained
in your public utterance and the
suggestions you and the Secretary
Of State have made hayee conhib1t-
ed definitely to the successful out
come Of the deliberations of the
conference You will readily have
appreciated the cordiaIity which has
been manifested toward the United
States and l believe that the couh-
try will welcome the warmer rela-
uonship with the nations of Eu-
rope, which, while avoiding the
field of political commitments of
taking Of sides on issues which do
not concern US, will provide a pet
ter basis for Common economic Ell
