MILK MAY GET
TO Be SCARCE
If New York Farmers Don't
Have Rain Soon Price
Likely to Go Up.

Milk is not as plentiful up New
York State as it is here is the way
one of the largest wholesale dealers in
this city put it today. He thinks that
unless the farmers 300 miles away from
here are favored with rain there may be
a small famine, even in Newark.
There will be no increase here by the
retailers, for they are still making a
small margin on bottle milk and 1t will
not advance over eight cents per bot
tie. In many stores where bottle milk
was sold for five, six and seven cents
the retailers were bound to jump the
price a cent or two.
The proposed meeting to consider the
additional increase of a fourth of a
cent quart by the farmers was not
held Several of the local dealers stated
that they received no notice and ex-
pected the present prices to stand.

ROOSTER CROWS
AFTER OPERATION
Is a Splendid Bird, but Had No
Voice Until Surgeon
Used Knife.

Frank Rue, of Cedar Grove. the home
OF poultry and George Henry Smith,
owns a rooster named Bismarck. Bis
marck was Matched in March, 1908, and
grew into such a handsome bird that
not long ago he took first prize at the
Verona poultry show, but he didn't
crow over the honor. In fact, he never
crowed at all. He didn't know how.
A perfect rooster in every other re-
spect, he was crowless.
When he wished to express jubilation
he did it by Tapping his wings. But the
hens looked askance at Bismarck and
would not associate with him. He be-
came melancholy because of his en-
forced loneliness, so Mr.. Rue called in
Dr. Phineas Bridge. of Montclair,
Friday to look Bismarck over. DR..
Bridge felt Bismarck's pulse and looked
into his throat Then the doctor took
a scalpel and maue a little incision at
the root of Bismarcks tongue
Bismarck recovered rapidly. and
early Saturday morning let out his first
crow. It tickled him so that he con-
tinued to crow all day Saturday, all
Saturday night and all day yesterday
and as the shades of evening fell he
was still at it, much 10 the disgust OF
all the other roosters in the neighbor-
hood

OFF ON TOUR
OF, INSPECTION
Canal and Dock Sites Receive
Attention of Board of Works
and City Engineer.

The Board of Works Commissioners
and City Engineer Morris R. Sherrerd
are devoting this afternoon to an in
spection of the proposed sites for the
city docks and the ship canal. Part of
the trip is being made on foot, but
most of the time the commissioners
will be in a launch looking over the
place where the canal will enter the
bay. They will also look over the
reclamation being done on meadows
by P. Sanford Ross.
The Board of Trade has asked that
the Board of Works appoint COM
mittee to take up the question with the
former body. The commissioners did
not feel, however that they were ready
to do SO until they had been over the
ground and gathered their own infor-
nation
The commissioners left the Broad
street station of the Central railroad a.
1:S5 this afternoon. After visiting the
Peddie ditch the party returned tc
Plum Point lane, where the launch was

ROWO|Es, YOU'D
BETTER WATCH OUT!
Public Service Management Now
Has Deputy to Guard
Bloomfield Cars.

AS a direct result of the numerous
urban trolley lines especially the Bloom
field and Elizabeth lines, the Public
Service Corporation has obtained the
services of a real live deputy sheriff,
serve law and order on the Bloomfield
cars. This officer will assume his duties
during the early afternoon and hop on
and off the cars until after midnight.
With the complaints of disorder came
several suggestions as to remedial
methods. One ingenious person, bear
ing in mind the step taken in New
York in appointing college man head
of the street cleaning department, sug-
gested that broad -shouldered sopho-
mores, eager to work during the sum-
mer months to earn money with which
to pursue their college studies, would
probably agree to act as strong arm
men on the cars For those who found
this occupation agreeable and strength
giving a postgraduate course might be
arranged with degrees of bachelor of
Knockout wallops, professor of peace
and doctor of disturbances. Those who
do not graduate and still wish to con-
tinue the work could form union.
The complaints say that the rowdy
ism is usually on the part of youths re-
turning from outings. Often women
have left cars, 1t is said, preferring to
walk home.
