 When Washington died the relative to whom he willed all his manuscripts gave bits here and there to friends of the late general, and even sold a large portion to an English collector.

Nine-Cent Milk.

N1ne-SeuV MlAAs
VII Ellsworth tamely submit to
ysgis- cent milk? There are some little
thiDgs connected with this increased
price movement that the public is
not thoroughly cognizant of.
For instance, the name Of Alderman
Alvin Staples was signed to the pub

j. selling milk at eight cents, and
never has increased the price to nine
GEMS. He is using what is known as
-shs "big" quart. Some other milk
men are selling at eight cents and
using the sssmall" quart.
This 'sbign quart and 'ssmalr' quart
proposition is something that needs a
IitIe investigation. There's differ
euce Of nearly half pint between a
"higp quart and "smalp' quart.
Who created this "big" quart and
slatlen quart scheme? Is that an
Invention of the Ellsworth milkmen?
What is the legal quart? The city of
j. sa orth has a sealer of weights and
lnessares, and this ''big" quart and
s-smalI" quart proposition seems to
cal Tor some attention from him.
Hosg long before we will hear of the
sbig'' pound and the ''small' pound?
Ellsworth is not alone in its milk
troubles, but seems to be faring worse
tban most cities. In Boston, where
e. attempt was made to force the
price up to nine cents quart, news

thorough investigation Of the cost of

Flik, too, has to stand . thorough
tess as to its purity. The result OF
Che Investigation was that most of
She milk dealers compromised at eight
cents, and some retained the seven
Cent price.
In Worcester, Mass, after selling
d an increased price of eight cents
for ten days, the largest milk COM
papy in the city went back to seven
cents.
Does it cost 80 much more to pro-
Dice milk in the vicinity of Ellsworth
Oh n it does to land it in Boston. from
. distance of 200 miles? An Ellsworth
hiikman, one who is in the business
for living, said this morning that
milk was not worth nine cents quart
The comparison made in TIE
AMERICAN last week between the
production of milk and butter greatly
favored the milkmen. 1t takes ten
10 eleven quarts OF milk to produce
. pound of butter which is selling
to- day at twenty Eve cents. At nine
cents quart, this means ninety to
ninety nine cents in milk. By these
Agures, and even allowing butter to
be worth thirty cents a pound, and

Who are selling milk at nine cents are

On the face of things, it looks as if
nine cent milk was entirely unnec-
essary. Will Ellsworth submit to it ?
