The town customor Is up ngalijHl It uiiIonh he Iiiih a good neighbor or lit; fixed to take care or a cow. Out or town dairy people will supply the de mand in a way, but are not as acces sible In the way of getting additional milk or cream which the housewife frequently finds she needs because oC unexpected company or preparing for some community function. The Times-Herald is confident i creamery would be a paying proposi tion in this community mid Iiiih ad vocated tho plan ror a long time. It should be controlled by the dairy people themselves and made a paying: proposition where the products or tho herds In the community might bo turned to a profit every day In tho year.
