TAKING MILKMEN'S PART.
To the Editor Of the Pres:


Ne notice the article in your paper
headed "Milkmen in trouble" As milk
customers we do not wish our milkman
to have any more troubles added. We
know that he has TO arise every morning
Of the year between | and O'Clock in
otderl TO have milk left in time for our
breakfast He furnishes us milk only
from cows kept on his own place. And
with exceedingly cold weather and
many bad storms together with unexoep-
tionally poor roads we think he has his
full share of the burdens OF life.
One only needs to 60 into the country
a few miles to ascertain that the drifts
are SO soft and deep that they are inn
passable TO Wagons and that there is so
much bare ground that 1T is next to Inn
DO sible for loaded sleds to move along
| the streets.
There is Misrepresentation as to milk
bottles. The miikmen have little choice
as to size of bottles, The law in the
states where they are made oompels the
manufacturers to conform as near as
possible to q size which happens to be
legal in the state of Maine. Experience
Of years proves that milk bottles would
average In the hands Of some milkmen 10
be broken in ~ days, while with the
most careful they last only 50 days
&C ,ording to prepared records. The at
tempt to seal bottles would be useles
under such circumstances. beside wo all
have our quart measure and do not re.
ouire the assistance of the sealer..of weights
and measure to show what quantity of
milk we receive.
We have often wondered II there is an
officer in POI tland TO see that poor milk
is not distributed. If not would suggest
If the sealer of weights and measures
is not fully occupied that his duties DO
enlarged to cover that. There was a
man convicted Of stealing in the mu-
uioipal court some time since, and proof
could have been furnished that he had
had inl his possession various adultera-
tiops, yet he pureues the mi k bus ness
without apparent interruption. The Q
have been in Portland cases where Gus
toners had the milk analy zed, and as a
result milkmen were discharg ed,yet bust
ness for these men still seems to flourish.
IL should be the business OF some Office r
TO look after the quality Of the milk rath-
or than the quantity.
IL the honest milkmen are to be dis
turbed better walt till June when the
COWS are at grass and the roads are in
good condition and eyerything is more
favorable. But even then his customers
will be going away for summer vacations,
and there will seem to him to be- no
market for his milk except to pour the
surplus in the streets.

senior. The newly married couple resid-
ed for biief time with her PARENTS, atte r
which Mr.. and Mrs Stevens moved into
the home which for years she has oocu-
pied.
The house is an old fashioned one, but

and was built about 100 years ago by
Mr.. Josiah Stevens. OF her family OF

on several occasions has made dainty
pieces of lace work In various design,
for the benefit of the Universalist church
fairs and has been interested in All Souls

towns of Falmouth, Westbrook and Deer
ing, and in later days the cities Of ID ier
ing and ortlgnd.
