KenOsha Milk Dealers Adopt Plans to
do Away With SwindIing Among
Milk Dealers.
FIVE YEARS CONTRACT MADE.
Responsible Parties are Secured to Han
die the Output of Kenosha County
Diaries. Trouble is Ended.

The Milk Dealers Association OF
Kenosha county met at the office of the
county clerk for it's annual meeting
today. The meeting will be a very
important one to the farmers on &C
count of the fact that contracts were
signed which will protect them from
loss from INSCRIPTIONS dealers in Chi
cago.
For some time the milk dealers of
this and other counties have been
legitimate prey for the swindlers con-
nected with the business in Chicago,
and many of the farmers have lost
large amounts of money on account OF
these men. To do away with the evil
the members of the association were
today presented with a new plan which
has been adopted by fully ninety per
cent. of the milk shippers around
Chicago.
The plan is to contract with Brad
ford G.. Richmond, of Eburn, ILL.,, and
Eugene Smith, of Chicago, to handle
the entire output of the farms of the
county. The contracts are to be made
DV SdCn 1uQ1N1uuoA HIN ONoANA oAN hOb
by the association.
The plan is to have Messrs. Smith &
Bradford take entire charge of the
milk in Chicago, and be responsible
for the collection of all moneys due the
farmers for the product. Many of the
men in the Association signed the con-
tract today, and others will, sign it as
soon as present contracts expire.
The idea is to deliver the entire out
put of the farms to the Chicago men
for period of five years, and for the
sale of the milk the men are to receive
the sum of one cent a can. On the
other hand they will attend to all the
collections demanded, and see that the
farmers get their money for every can
of milk shipped into Chicago.
The contract is an iron-bound one,
the producer agreeing to furnish all
his milk to the one firm, and not to re-
duce the supply without notifying the
Chicago company.
The company assures the payment
of all the debts for milk, by the giving
of a good and sufficient bond, and by
scheduling real estate sufficient to
cover all the deals made by them. At
the meeting this afternoon officers
were elected and routine business
transacted.
