Oakland Creamery Company, of which
Mr.. George D. Sprague is the local
manager, has let contracts for en-
larging the plant and for the installa-
ton of new additional equipment for
handling Grade A milk in large guam
titles, thus giving an additional mar
ket for the product of the farmer and
dairymen of the community.
To carry out the plans, an outlay of
approximately $4,000 will be re-
quired.
The contract for charging the
building was awarded to Stanton D.
Whipkey, local contractor, and will
be under the supervision of L. H.
Stewart, chief engineer of the I'M

the Oakland Creamery Company is :,

From time to time during the past

more cycle of the evolution through
which all industries proceed as neces-
sity requires.
The policy of employing and devel-

connection E. Stanley Halter, field rep

ty and offers his services to be used
either in public meetings or at private
conferences where dairy subjects are
to be discussed.
During the few weeks that Mr.. Hal
Ter has been in Oakland he has been of
much valuable assistance to the farm
ers, it is said by a number of them
with whom he has discussed the vari-
Gus phases of dairying.

POSTMASTER AT SWANTON
MAY GET REWARD MONEY
Bill In House of Representatives
Would Authorize Payment

Congressman Frederick n. Zihlman
succeeded in securing favorable &C
ton by the House of Representatives
on Friday on his bill to authorize the
payment of $4,000 to Jos. F. Friend,
postmaster at Swanton, for the cap
ture and arrest of Henderson Hall, a
Negro, who attempted the robbery Of
the postoffice at Swanton on Septem-
Der II, 1925.
Because of the fact that the bullet
fired by Mr.. Friend which took effect
in Henderson's face and pierced his
frontal brain, causing him to become
insane, the Negro could not be tried
and convicted for the attempted rob-
berry and therefore, under the regula-
tions of the Postoffice Department the
reward for the capture and conviction
of Hall could not be paid to M.
Friend, as the regulations governing
the payment of rewards provide that
the suspect must be tried and con-
victed of the robbery of which he is
charged, or of the attempted robbery,
before the payment of the reward can
be made.
The Negro, Hall, according to The
Republicans files, was surprised by
Postmaster Friend as he was in the
act of robbing the postoffice at Swan
ton on the night of September II,
1925, and a pistol battle followed dur
ing which Hall was shot through the
stomach and in the face, the bullet
fired into his face penetrating his
brain.
Hall staggered from the postoffice
following the shooting and was later
found lying along the Baltimore and
Ohio railway tracks some distance
from the scene of the shooting. He
was brought to Oakland by Sheriff G.
O. Yutzy, later, being Federal pris-
oner, taken to Cumberland and lodged
in the Jail there. AS above stated he
became demented and was never called
for trial. He is now in Government
hospital for the insane.
Mr.. Friend, during the battle, was
also struck by bullet, the missile
lodging in his face and destroying
one of his eyes. He also sustained a
number of decorations about his head
and face when the negro during the
fight used his revolver as club.

CANNERY Is ADDING new
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
More Corn and Pea Acreage Has
Been Contracted For This
Year, Manager States

In preparation for the coming can
ming season, the Mount Airy Canning
Company at Mountain Lake Park is
making extensive improvements and
engagements to the plant which will
give employment to number of men
until about the first of June, accord
ing to Howard Reinhardt, local man
ager of the company.
An addition to the warehouse, to be
of tile construction, is now being
erected. An entirely new boiler and
engine room is also under construc-
ton. This building will house two
so h. p. engines and boilers of en-
larged capacity. The interior of the
buildings are being entirely remodeled
and much new equipment is being ad
ded in all departments. The aim of
the management is to make the WORK
during the canning season easier and
more systematic.
Pea Acreage Large.
Approximately one hundred acres
more Of peas are being planted this
year than were planted last year by
the farmers, it was stated and about
twice as much corn will be grown. In
all there will be six hundred acres of
peas and two hundred acres of corn,
An additional viner has been erected
at the Gortner station to care for the
crop grown in that section. -Four vim
ers will be at work in this station dur
ing the season.
To Try Cabbage.
Cabbage seed is being planted at
the H. Weber & Sons greenhouses, &C
cording to Mr.. Reinhardt, and the re-
sultant plants will De given out to
the farmers for an experiment in
growing commercial cabbage. All that
is asked that a reasonable percentage
of the matured cabbage be sent to
the canning company. The crop will
be taken to Mount Airy and compared
with the cabbage grown in that sec
ton of the State, and if it proves as
good or better than the product at
the latter place, the plant at Noun
tain Lake Park will eventually can
cabbage in addition to the corn and
peas now canned.
No estimate of the cost of the adj
ditions and remodelling of the plant
was given by Mr.. Reinhardt, except
that it would amount to considerable
sum.
