Milk Dealers Declare They Cant

MEASURES.
They Think It Would Be Cheaper
to- Defend q Test

Mix dealers in Minneapolis and St. Paul

Milk dealers in Minneapolis and ST. Paul
were thrown into great CONSERVATION
when they learned thru T h e Q UT n q I
that the authorities were preparing 10

quart measures for. milk All their meas
sures and vessels for milk correspond 70
what is known as wine measure, tne
standard Of which is 2231 cubic
inches to, the gallon, while the law passed
by the last legislature PROVIDES that mat
milk measures shall be based on q gallon
Of 282 cubic inches, thereby increasing
the size Of the gallons, pints and quarts
by % per cent. It does not look as tno
the law could be evaded by selling Dy o.;

ures whose. cubic contents are speclhed.
|, There has been a great deal Of excite
me1lt among the dairymen over this ques-
tion and numerous informal conferences
The milk dealers have. decided to resist

! have a splendid organization and when
ever the authorities are ready to act, the
dairymen, hundreds and even thousahos
! in number, will rally for a rebellion.
They argue that the provisions OF the
| new law are unreasonable and unjust,
| that there. is absolutely. no. necessity ior
| it and that there has never, been any ue
mand for 1t. Moreover they Intimate tna1
! all their patrons will be with them III op
posing the law, as they. prefer the ola
system of fivecent Quarts and twenty
| tickets for one dollar.-to an innovation re-
| quiring fractions, and unfamiliar figures.
| The expense of complying: with the ne"
4 law is not a light, matter by any means
The. manager Of. one of the large mix

to. equip his plant with. new mea sures. /,
It is not only the: metal measures "a ;ano

A COURT CEREMONY
Couple Old in Years, but Young IN
Spirit Married by Judge
sF Cray.
Secrets Of q Brief, but Evidently
s Successful Courtship Safely
4 Guarded by Them.

Patriarchial John Dave of Grafton. y.
D., and Susanna A. Calvert of Benton,
Wis. after reaching a ripe old age, ap-'
[proXimatinE three score and ten, nave
yentured again on the sea Of inatrtrnony.
s They were married yesterday afternoon
by Judge Cray in the latter's chambers lii IL
the courthouse. Such is human nature
in young and old that had their wedding
been performed fifty years ago 1t could
not have been much different. The
groom was nervous, while the pride was
composed and serene and smiled sweetly
thruout the ceremony.
There is romance in the lives of this
venerable couple, but they coyly de-
clined to reveal it, Certain it is that they
had never met until this week, for when
Mr.. Dave applied for license last
Tuesday he did not know his prospective
brides full name, nor where she lived.
In order that there should be no more
bitches he brought his lady love with him
! the next time he came.
| The ceremony was very plain. There
was no veil no orange blossoms. no ring.
The bridegroom wished the proceedings
hurried, and the bride wanted something
ITO show that the ceremony had been per-
formed, otherwise both were wholly in
| different to details. "All we need to do
1 is to say in the presence Of witnesses
! that we are man and wife, declared the
old man. 81
Judge Cray had not been called upon tc
| perform any marriage ceremonies be-
! fore. AS a. prudent judge he, had to con
suit number Of law books to be sure O1
his ground. The delay made the bride
groom very fdgety. ....ss ~.

"I do,'' replied Mr.. Dave, and with hi

The court inquired why they had nc

at the lady. At this sally both smile
broadly. Eventually they were tight
