WHITE CROSS MILK co.
Wishes to Establish Mix 6ottIine
Plant in Randolph.

Plant in Randolph.
A. T.. Miller, representing the White
Cross Milk company OF Boston. met
about 20 of the Randolph farmers in Ed
sons hall yesterday afternoon and laid
before them the proposition OF his com
pany for the establishment OF miik-bot-
tling plant in this village.
The company wishes TO come here and
invest not less than s20, 900 in plant for
putting up milk by an entirely new pro-
cess OF publication. Hot air at a temper
ature varying from 100 TO 40 degrees. Is
blown through the milk for two hours
and q half, thoroughly cleansing II OF
all impurities while taking but little of
its moisture. The milk is then bottled
and can be shipped in ordinary refrigera-
tor cars TO California or Panama and be
perfectly sweet after IL reaches ifs destina-
tion.
Mr.. Miller offered the following scale
OF prices for milk testing from $40 to $50
per cent butter fat;-January, s1-7o per
hundred pounds; February, s1.70; March,
s1.50; April, Sips; May, sL10; June,
sl.oO; July, sI.io; August, si.25; septem-
ber, s1.35; October, s1.s0: November,
s1.70; December, s1.70. This scale offers
the highest price for milk in the winter
months when the producer il at the great
est expense TO maintain his dairy, and
gradually slides down TO a dollar in June
when pastures are at their hest and cost
OF keeping at the lowest. Then il rises
again to sI.70 through November, Decem-
Der, January and February; while the
average for the year i s1.s0. II milk
tests over $50 per cent Of butter fat IL will
be paid Tor pro rata on the basis Of the
test.
The company asks nothing except the
support OF the farmers, and the interest
shown at the meeting ye sterday seemed TO
indicate that their support would not De
lacking. The two creameries in this VIII
lage are now making about 1000 pounds
OF butter daily, which means that they re-
ceiye about 10000 pounds OF milk. that,
with the amount aysilable in the sur
rounding country would make a sufficient
supply for the new business.
The company would want to build on
land conveniently icca.ed fer a spur track
from its plant TO tine main line Of the rail-
road, and IL would probably employ at
first about 20 hands.
Mr.. Miller met the executive committee
Of the Board Of Trade for a further con-
ference and expressed himself a. gratified
at the reception given him and the inn
preston his proposition seemed to make.

Miss Kate McLsurin, leading lady in
"Strongheart, coming March is. Is a
Southern girl, and during the recent tour
of the play in that section was given
numerous demonstrations OF what genu-
inc hospitality amounts to. Not the least
interesting function which Miss Me
Laurin was called on TO attend was a pos
sum dinner which was prepared by the
old colored "auniy," who looked after
her sefare in her 5abyhood days. The
old nurse is now past 30 and is as keenly
interested in Miss McLaurin's stage ca
reer as the young lady's own relstives.
..Peter Pam is staged in five acts ard
seven scenes, requiring very elaborate set
tings.
Paul Dickey, who plays on the
'Strongheart" football team, was mem-
Der of the Michigan varsity team.
One of the most enhancing scenes on
the stage is the flight Of Peter Pan to the
"Never- Neyer-Never-Land." Peter leaves
the stage in full view of the sudience and
is waited away to the supposed sky as we
have read in fairy books.
