MILK WAR OVER.
Boston's Big Contractors Sign New
Agreement.

abIeculeut.
The milk strike was officially declared nj
an end in Boston Tuesday afternoon when
the three Whiting companies signed "a

to MAY !. Their action followed that oil
II. T.. Hood 4 Sons taken ON Monday.
There remained hut the Boston Dairy
company and a few minor companies out
standing. When their contracts are sign
started on May |.
Contracts signed Wednesday were for a
period covering until May ! Of next year,
and what will happen after that Is not
known, but judging by the statement sent
out by W. \. Hunter, clerk OF the Fro
ducers' association, II looks as II the Gus
toner might as well get ready TO see that
the price continues TO be paid OF face a
milk famine.
When Mr.. Hunter was seen Tuesday re-
garding the milk situation his attention
was called by a newspaper man TO the slg'
nihcant sentence that the customer must
look the matter square IN the face and he
was asked ii that meant that milk prices
would be 'kited" to meet the increased
cost to the contractors and he said he did
not think so, but that the producers had
nothing to do with the price charged Tor
milk in Boston.
He further said that unless the custom.
ers were willing TO see fair pnce was paid
now. that in few years the price OF milk
might 20 up three or four cents quart.
for the expense OF producing milk was GO
ing up all the time.
In other words. according TO his own
statement given below. the customer must
be- willing to pay the price set or face a
famine in the near future, meaning that
he will get no milk for himself or hi.
family.
After the milk strike had been officially
adjusted. W. 4. Hunter, for the produc-
ers. issued statement, which says in
part:
I'VE have had good fight The con
tractors have stood the strain OF all com
bined forces. We trust the present eXpe-
rience will result in better understanding
all around.
THE customer must look this matter
square in the face and be willing TO pay a
price that will insure modest profit to
the producers and afford the distributors
a fair compensation or face famine in the
near future.
1--WE trust the business will be so con
Quoted that friendly relations may exist
and lasting good to all secured.
Il wish to thank all loyal men who have
held their milk and rendered the company
such valuable service. | also wish to thank
the press that has been so fair and sup
ported our cause.

Face to face with the choice between
public welfare and clean stamps, the post
Office department has decided in favor of
the former. A recent order issued to post
masters requires that they and their clerks
when selling stamps shall slide them
through the widow to the purchaser with
the sticky side up Heretofore it has been
the rule that the face of the stamps be
uppermost, since a stamp must be kept
reasonably clean to insure it's acceptance
when placed on letter or a package. The
new order is based on the belief that the
omnipresent germ is fond of inhabiting the
stamp counter, as well as most other
places. Under this theory the man or wo-
man who licks stamp that has been slid
sticky side down across the counter runs
the risk of acquiring all the diseases known
to that part of the country. Therefore the
gum, which is calculated to carry the germs
along as it goes on its way to the pur-
chasers tongue, is to be kept up. There
is good sense behind that order but there
is more of it behind the pate of the man
or woman who makes it rule never to
lick stamps.

to Re Added

Believing that New England, and Yer
mont in particular, offers exceptional OPP
portunities for the young man who will
take up farming as business and use
thought and method in his work. it is pro-
posed to establish at Lyndon institute a
department of practical and scientific ag-
ricuture. Theodore n. Vail, Lyndon
ville's millionaire citizen, will back the
enterprise. The agricultural department
will not prepare for higher institutions. Its
studies are intended to enable young men
to secure good agricultural and industrial
training The course will cover period of
two years of nine months each. The theo-
retical work will be given at the Lyndon
institute, while the practical work will be
done ON the farm set aside for that pur-
pose.
Residents of Vermont eligible for ad-
mission to any approved high school will
be admitted to this department The ex-
penses will be: Tuition, s36; board and
room, $l0S; Books, about SIS
Each student is required to meet all his
expenses, board, room, tuition, books,
etc. This may be done in either by cash
payments or by work

80. HENRY DEAD.
Well Known as Writer of Brilliant
Stories

William Sidney Porter, known best
under his pen name of 80. Henry, - as
the writer of brilliant short stories, died
Sunday in New York hospital, where
he underwent an operation on Friday
last. The nature of his ailment was
not made known.
Mrs. Porter, who had been in South
Carolina, was summoned by telegraph,
but did not arrive until Sunday night,
after her husband IS death.
Mr.. Porter was born in Greensboro,
N. c.. AZ years ago, and began his
journalistic career ON the Houston
Post Before that he had been cow
boy, sheep herder, druggist, and an ex-
tensive traveller.
The general public knew little of his
private life, for he stunned interview
ers and was content to be known
merely through his writings as go.
Henry
His breezy paragraphs penned in
Texas first drew attention to the
young writer several years ago, and
then he launched forth with "Sunday
stories" for New York paper, and

two ladies, a melting pot, crucibles
and a quantity of chemicals.
In manufacturing coin the method
of procedure Is somewhat as follows:
First of all each cOiner has his pat

For metal he uses solder, or better

poured into the casts, which Is then
clamped together.
When set the coins are put on
rack, which is electrified, and when
sufficiently charged they are immersed
In n vat containing solution OF
cyanide of silver at a fairly high tenn
perature. They are in fact electro
plated, and the milling is done not in

The coins are then FURNISHED and
