Clover Leaf Crmry Creates a Market for

(From Daily Statesman, May &
T. S. Townscnd. owner and manager
ol tne t-iovcrLeat creamery, yesterday
reported booking an order for a carload
4f butter from his Salem Creamery
plant. Tlie carload will consist: of 400
sixty-pound pails and Mr. Townscnd
will commence filling the order tomor
row. By way of comparison, to show
that the dairy industry in this state is
asMiining enormous : proportions, n
would not be inappropriate in this, con
t'tctioii to state that this will be the
first carload of butter; ever shipped out
of the state from 'a single" creamery.
Mr. Townscnd also sa$ he has large
orders to be supplied to parties on the
S '''. ; ' : . .
"This r the time of year when the
crtatcry man is hoiking for a market
fr his surplus butter, remarked Mr.
Townscnd. "In a imonth or two, the
supply will not exceed the demand to
!!' extent, when f there! will W inn
trouble m disposing- of all butter that
is manufactured. ( The finding ail a
market for this surplus butter prevents
the bverstackiiier ot i the lor.il markpi
and tends to stimulate prices to the end
that the creamery is enabled to pay the
farmer l-ettcr fjeurcs for cream. I am
frequently asked: 'Are you not afraid
of- overdoing the creamery MiUjiricMS?'
Not by any means, so long as a market
i created for the manufactured article."

haha county, South Dakota, were mar
ried this week. while the body.ol
Mayne's first wife, who had died the
day before, was lying in the house
awaiting burial and his five little
motherless children vrere looking to
their grandmother for coruiort.
i-The marriage was not exactly of
Mayne's own choosing, as a brother of
the bride insisted on the ceremony. It
seems that before the death of the
mother of -Mis Arnson, Mavnc had se
cured the good opinion of I her mother,
who suggested that he look after the
property. The girl appeared infatuated
with Mayne, and was sent to Chicago
to get her away from his "influence.
Afftr she. returned she wciit to live in
the Mayne family, against the wishes
of his "wife andVher mother. Inter

THE ABILITY HER E.
McKinky imperialists look upon
Manila ias "The gatev. way to the East,"
in the development, ot the trade of th;
United r-Statcs with , China. The only
"gate way" to this trade is the ability
"compete with" the world at large in
the prices of pr'xlucts, whether natur
al or :ol manufacture. .Manila is no
stepping, stone to commej-e.ial prepon
derance. The price it the thing. Mil
lions, rjiay be expended to sustain Unilel
Statcsiaulhority at iManjla. but this ex
penditure will open no dor to trade.
This cannot be done unless the United
States 'can. furnish products at prices
more f acceptable j to the , East than they
can te furnished by any other country
in the world. 'Mobile KcgistVr.
: Ou;r people have the ability to do
these' things. Thejr increasing --commerce
all over the world - proves that
they ; are doing? them. When we can
titrfrish the things needed in the Orient
chejaiicr than any other nation; iand
when we can put up our goods in more
acceptable form than others, then Ma
nna will become a gate way to the
East. And , it will reward its as such
gate way for all the trouble experienced
and treasure expended in bringing it
and its country in peace tinder the flag.
