The Shadowor the Substance Editor of Dryden Observer. © Dear Sir,--Will you kindly. allow me space in your paper fo correct a statement made by our co-operative friend, Mr P. Schoonenberg of Wald- hof, in your last week's issue. Regarding the Creamery proposi- tion, a couple of weeks ago, in reply to a brace of letters advoeating a co- bperative creamery instead of the one proposed hy Dryden interests, I wrote that I was in favour of a Co-operative Creamery, but that under the present financial conditions, to wait for a co- operative creamery company to be organized would delay the scheme for ten years, as at present I do not think enough Inoney could be raised among the farmers of this District to pay for the issuing of the Letters Patent. Peter surely must have dreamed over this a few times, as he awoke in your last issue with the following re- vised version: to pay the cost of the letters patent within the next ten years.' Well, well." Now Mr Editor, I have no' objection to Mr Schoonenberg shooting all the hot air (I could give it a more appro- priate name) he wishes; but I. DO jobject to his twisting another person's Hwords--especially. my own--giving to them an entirely different meaning. Perhaps a Co-operative Creamery It may be there is more money in the Wald- hof end of the distriet than we think, there is; but I firmly believe that when Peter starts out on his stock-selling campaign he will find that Waldhof is not Heaven itself, and by "One says 'We had a hard time, and did got 'raise the price even Special Prize List MCMXXIV.
