Mr Wright, who used to run the old Company boarding-house, is once more back in town The Dryden Creamery looks like another confirmation of the popular belief that anything Mayor Pitt takes hold of will be pushed to success.

Mayor Pitt will leave the end of the week for the Southern States for the benefit of his health. Beholding his vigorous frame, his best friends smile with incredulity when the sad news is broken to them. Mr D. Frejd scoffs at the compari- son of fhe Dryden Creamery to the Kenora Dairy. He points ont that the ,| latter was simply a bottling and dis- tributing plant, and cannot be regard- ed as a model of what a Creamery icould stand for. The Tea held by the Ladies Aid at {Mrs W. D. Dickson's was a splendid success in every way. A large number were present, and the amount raised for the mission fund fairly approached the half century (dollar) mark.

Dear Mr Editor,--It surely is refresh- ing to observe the keen interest the ! people take in this Creamery proposi- tion. And if ever there was any doubt | as to whether this Creamery will be or will not be, the letters which have appeared the last couple of weeks must | have convinced the most stubborn pes- | simist THAT IT WILL BE! i - EER i The reason I am writing you in this matter is not to fight the matter of! co-operation 'or private owynership, but to indicate what poor: advertisers | some people are. : One says We had a hard time and did not raise the price to pay the cost of, the letters patent within the next ten' vears. Well, well! i Now what makes the farmers' hard times? He never had any better, nor worse for that matter. vy have no rain, next year we may,' have too much rain. Again we may have no potatoes; then we may have too many, and must dump them in the | manure pile or leave them in the around. And in this way it has gone oi, and will go on for ever. And still | we are spending more money on gaso- | # to have a co-operative creamery they sould have it just as easy as the many new automobiles you will see in a few weeks. f On the other hand, we cannot force the people to accept heaven if they want to stay in hell. Farmers espe- cially ave very particular, or not too particular, however you take it, in this matter. Taking this opportunity to thank Mr, Alfred Pitt for his courage in this so critical time, and wishing him every success, --P. SCHOONENBERG.
