An eastern paper, says an exchange,
has adopted the method of inverting the

ever it becomes necessary to refer to
them in the paper.

the matter in the columns of the A dver

spelling and typography, we ask them
to bear with us this once, with the as

A Creamery for Ashland.
W. J. Curtis, of the California Equip
ment and Construction Company, held
a meeting in the Talent school house
last night in the interest of establishing
a creamery in Ashland. The farmers of
that vicinity favored the project. A
meeting will lie held in the Ashland
City Hall to-night.
Mr. Curtis desires to establish a
creamery of 400 cows capacity, which
would cost aliout $3,000, stock company.
A creamery of that size would separate
cream from milk at the rate of 1500 gal
lons per hour. If Ashland favors the
establishment of the enterprise, Mr.
Curtis proposes to take a committee
from here to Edgewood, to investigate
the creamery business there.
This is a subject that should interest
