Mrs Mary Ann Bailey Tyler passed
away Nov. 9th at the home OF her son,
i ri TYLER. Mrs. Tyler was born in New

with her son for many years past. Inc
cause of her death was pneumonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. n. f. Clark and niece,
Mrs. r. c. Baker, OF st. Adams were in
town over Thanksgiving at ID. l.. Chlld s..
Mr.. Clark was for many years prominent
business man of this town and lived IN
the house now occupied by his daughter,
Mrs. ID. l.. Child. OF all the men engaged
in business in Bethel village when he hrst
came to Bethel, he found only one, Town
Clerk William r. Adams, still engaged
actively in business.
The retail price of milk in Boston was
raised Tuesday to eight cents and the milk
contractors have advanced the price four
cents per can to the producers. This was
voluntary concession on the part OF the
milk contractors. Some time ago 1t was
represented to them that the farmers must
either obtain an advance or sell their
COWS and go out OF the business as the
great advance in the price OF grain made
the grain bills about equal the milk
checks The contractors did not then
accede to this demand but events have
turned out as the farmers ioresaw. Many
farmers that had hitherto supplied the
Boston market cut down their stock and
there became a great shortage Of milk in
Boston. Agents OF the contractors
hustled out into the outlying districts,
even going nearly to the Canada line,
and brought in many new supplies. They
offered price that would yield the farmer
much more than the creameries could
afford to pay and so they have capped
over the difficulty for the present. But II
q. IRU a
can be continued In warm weather as the
milk under the present method is several
DAYS in transit to Boston and would GER
taipIv spoil in warm weather.
