TOWN TOPICS.
THE MILK QUESTION.
PRESIDENT OF MUTUAL GIVES REASON
WHY TESTS WE'RE ORDERED AT SHIP
PING STATIONS.

PRESIDENT Of MUTUAL V1N Ed nI1A0ON
WHY TESTS WERE ORDERED AT SHIP
PING STATIONS.
There are always two sides to every
question, and THE BEE aims to be fair
and impartial in any matters which
may come to it's attention. A COM
munication appeared in The BEE two
weeks ago, speaking Of the dissatisfac-
tion of the farmers at Hawleyville with
the Mutual company, who had ordered
of better quality, or to stop sending.
At Washington, ROxbury and other
places, number of farmers have re-
ceived similar notices. At Washington
a meeting of the branch there of the
Five Sta tes' Milk Associa tion was held
and committee of two appointed to
go to New York to investigate the
matter. They waited upon the pres
ident and general manager of the Mu-
tual, who informed them that good
many complaints had been received
from the New York health board on
milk from the Lee & Seabrooke terrific
ry. The president Of the Mutual, to
prove his statements, sent for the files
and showed the committee two COM
plants that had been received the day
before from the New York health
board. He informed them that only
that week they had been fined $50 on
can of milk from the Lee & Sea-
brooke territory, and that the rigid
tests were ordered at all their receiv-
ing stations for their own protection.
Such large milk producers as Benjamin
Seeley Of Washington and E. G. Seeley
of Roxbury have confidence in the
Mutual peoples honesty of purpose,
and believe that all they want of the
farmers is good milk.

S. p. Glover and A. F. Clarke re-
turned to Newtown on April i, after
an enjoyable trip of six weeks to
Southern California. When they were
in New Orleans they were greeted by
an old-fashioned New England snow
storm, which made them feel quite at
home. The snow, however, did not
remain long, melting away in short
order. From New Orleans they went
to Vicksburg, Miss, where Mr. Glov-
er's daughter, Mrs Warner, resides.
Mr. Glover brought home some very
cute photographs of his grandson, who
had donned pantaloons in honor of his
grandfather's arrival. From VickS-
burg, Miss, they passed on to San
Diego and Los Angeles, Cal, remain
ing couple of weeks in those cities.
Los Angeles was the more pleasant
and attractive of the two places and
was filled with Northern tourists.
One man informed Mr. Glover that
there were probably 10000 tourists at
that time in Los Angeles. They met
Rev f. f. johnson one day on the
streets Of San Diego, and had a pleas
ant visit with him. On their trip
they stopped at Redlands and River
side and then went to San Francisco,
Cal, where they stayed week. On
their return East they only stopped a
day and night in Chicago, the wealth
er being so unpleasant and fOrbidding.
The trip was enjoyed by both gentle
men and no unpleasant incidents at
tended their journeyings.
