panied with five dollar bill, for which
the ladies extend their grateful thanks.
The Judge and his good looking
officials were present. Strange coinci-
dence that the wives of all these gen.
tlemen were afraid the roads and
weather would not permit them to
come. After the courtesy extended us
the ladies have decided that in the flu
ture they will do their shopping at
the two leading dry goods and hard
ware Establishments, and if we are
ever fortunate enough to have any
money to deposit we know where that
will 90 also. We were pleased to well
come a good1y number of our Bristol
and Plank road friends, who graced
the occasion with their presence and
helped to make the dinner a success.
Ali things considered it was a grand
success socially as well as financially.

Central Milk Shippers Union Decide
to Make a Great Change in the
Milk Industry in Chicago.
D. L. BURGESS FOR PRESIDENT
Well Known Kenosha County Milk Shipper
is Placed at the Head of the Big Cen
trail ORGANIZATION of shippers.

In the future Kenosha county far
mers who ship milk into Chicago will
be forced to watch carefully the grade
of the milk sent, for at the annual
meeting of the Central Milk Shippers
Union, held in Chicago Tuesday after
noon, it was unanimously decided that
in the future the milk should be graded
and the farmers selling to the Chicago
trade will win or lose by the action as
their milk is good or bad. For many
years the farmers offering the best
grade of milk for sale have been
forced to accept lower price on &C
count Of the fact that some of the milk
shipped into Chicago was below the
standard. At the present time the
Central Union did not provide for any
general raise in the price of milk to
the general trade in Chicago, but it is
thought that this action will be taken
as soon as the proper grading of the
milk has been established. In the fu-
ture milk shipped into Chicago will
have to pass an examination and it
will be graded as No. 1 and No. 2
milk. No. milk will be the absolute
ly pure milk, up to the standard IN
every way, and the No. 2 will be what
is known as the "b1ue'' milk. This
milk has beeu partially skinned and
the cream sold either to private GUS
toners or to the many creamer1es IN
the neighborhood of Chicago.
At the meeting Kenosha county was
highly honored by the election OF
Dwight L. Burgess, of Salem, as Pres
lident of the Association. Mr.. Burgess
is one of the best known milk shippers
in this county and for many years
he has taken an active interest in the
affairs of the milk shippers about Chi
cago. He has been president of the
local union for several years and has
freely given his time and money fol
the advancement of the interests Of
the Kenosha shippers. In his new OF
fee Mr.. Burgess will have charge o.
all the milk shippers within radius o.
one hundred miles of Chicago and HI
will probably give~up quite little O.
his time to the management of the AT
fairs of the association.
In the last few years the milk bust
ness in the counties about Chicago
has become the greatest industry, ant
among the counties doing the 1arges
business in this line is Kenosha county
| The milk and cheese industries Of this
county have more than doubled Ia The
last five years and it is expected tina
in the next five years all the farms il
the connty will become dairy farms il
order to supply the constant demand
for milk in Chicago. The action o.
the association in grading milk will
result in the farmers of this county
making thousands of dollars more this
year than in other years, as most Of
the farmers in this county have rec
ord for supplying only pure milk.
