Sunday the people of this vicinity
listened to two very earnest and help
| full sermons. Our church is becoming
popular, and the people evidently
appreciate a good sermon.
We heard one farmer say he wished
the milk trust would hurry up and get
down to business. We afterwards
learned that he didn't expect to be long
in the milk business, and wanted to
get the benefit of the high prices which
the trust would place on milk at
first. We infer from the remarks
that the trust, according to his Opin-
ion, would not hold their first buying
price. We think he is right. The
milk shippers union better be wary.
Did you ever hear of a trust that did?
Some may say that it will defeat the
plans of dishonest milk buyers now in
the business. Why not use your union
to that purpose? Let the trust once
get control of the union, how long do
you think they would deal justly with
the farmer? They would then control
the market. What does the control OF
the milk market mean to a trust and
to farmer? 1t means simply this:
No more milk than the trust can sell
and sell proftablY, which will be con-
trolled by the demand of those who use
it; the killing off of private and small
milk dealers in the city. which is the
balance wheel to the milk market at
present. the trust will then give what
they please for milk; the killing of the
milk shipping business; the final return
Of the old way of milk dealing and OF
small dealers in resuming business.
Why then, is there any use in allowing
a trust to come in and spoil business
which is proving to be a great blessing
to the farmers of KenOsha county and
especially of Pleasant Prairie?
There will be an Epworth League
social at the home of Albert Barter

ported that the early part of the even

surprise party, but that the latter part
was somewhat Of kissing bee" AS
James, Jr., was the only one who
thought so, it certainly must be so.
How is it, Jim?
Dr. Eastman is a very busy man

The mintrel show Saturday night
was not very we'll attended; probably
due to the cold weather The show

The chorus singing was especially
worthy of comment and the parts taken
by each were we'll rendered.
