suggest he may be the culprit. The

Not to Raise Price of Milk. - The |
jolly milkmen of Rock Island and Mo |
line had little social meeting in Tur-
ner hall in Moline. The Rock Island |
dairymen were guests. Some suspic- |
ious mortal who claimed to be on the |
inside" asserted that the milkmen met |
to agree on a raise in the price of the |
hNuiYa arnd1faf ha int
haps permanently That's why 1t was |
thought advisable to have the Rock |
Island brothers along, too. The milk
men who were present at the meeting |
deny any such intentions.
There was a little incidental discus
sion on the subject, say they, but no
intention of taking action. Charles w.
Wehrend, one of the dairymen pres
ent, declared that there will positively
be no advance in the price of milk.
The price, he said, will remain the
same as it is now, seven cents per
quart, at least for the present. The
nature of the meeting, according to Mr..
Wehrend, was purely social, although |
there was some discussion of the price
Of milk. About 40 dairymen were at
the meeting, 10 of whom were Rock
island guests.
