We went over to see Biles3 3ourmilk-
man the other day, and We found him in
the back yard mending the sucker of his
pump. In reply to jocular remark
about his dairy being.in arbad way when
the pump was out of order, Biles said:
J: sob, faint going to deny that we wa

people say we'do it from smercenary mo-

it. II do'it because Pm philanthropic,
