ROCK ISLAND DAIRYMEN
RAISE THE PRICE OF MILK

The Rock Island Dairymen's associ-
alton held meeting last evening and
decided to give notice of an advance
IN the price of milk. The general
rates have heretofore been five cents
quart or Is cents gallon. The adj
vance Will make the price six cents
per quart or 17H cents per gallon.
The dairymen give as a reason for
taking the action the high prices that
prevail for all sorts of feed, which
they say has increased the cost of
production in proportion to the adj
vance that has been decided upon.
They deny that there is any connec-
ton between the new rates and the
course of the city health department
in beginning the regular inspection
of milk.
