HOW MILK TRUSTS WORK

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 29.-An in
vestigation into the milk trust here
is bringing out some facts vital to
the people of every city of 10000
or more population in the United
States.
Witnesses have shown at the in
vestigation that milk can be pro-
duced for New York at less than
1-3 cents quart. Even with the
increased cost of feeding and
keeping dairy cattle, the milk can
be produced at good profit at this
figure
Large eastern cities pay from Z
to-, II cents quart. Testimony
shows that the Borden Condensed
Milk company and the consolidated
milk exchange of New York have
run the price up to 8 cents quart,
and that the prices were set for
this milk on the exchange, and
these prices prevailed everywhere.
One of the witnesses at the hear
ing, Geo. H. Greeves, farmer and
dairyman, said the milk producer
got no share in this bulge to 8
cents quart. Many poor people
could no longer use the milk at
that price, and the consumption
fell off greatly. He said the milk
trust resorted to chemical treat
ment to prevent the milk spelling
in storage.
Testimony taken so far estab-
fishes that:
/. The farmer must sell his
milk to the trust.
2. The trust makes the price
of milk six months ahead.
3. The cost of production is a
little more than one-third what the
milk trust asks.
4. The consumer has nothing to
say about prices or quality of milk.
S. Farmers cannot get mar
ket through any Independent
dealer.

BENTON DEFEATS CULLEY's,

Sweet revenge was secured yester.
day afternoon by the b. B. HOOK
baseball team which defeated the
EIks by a score of 10 TO 0. The
Elks lacked team work, and the abA-
ity to hit Lee Hart, who was in rare
form, and at all stages OF the game
held his opponents safe. McChesney
for the Elks, was hit freely, and
worse still, his teammates made
many errors with men on the sacks
Three weeks ago the Elks defeated
the Hooks and now the two teams
are tied.
The Hooks started the run getting
in the first inning. Cox was first at
bat and led of with a single, and
stole second. He scored when Har-
per hit safely to center for two
sacks. Monroe was safe on a ground
er to second. Carroll followed with
a line drive to left field for two sacks
and Harper and Monroe Tailed.
Several players were used TO fill
vacancies in the Elks' lineup as all
of the regular players did not report,
but nevertheless they were unable to
do anything with Harris delivery. On
the other hand Mcohesney was hit
freely. and in the sixth inning he
retired in favor of Sutton, who re-
fused to allow the Hooks a safe hit
1t was too late to turn the game as
the Hooks had lead of ten scores.

But it's the little paper from the

The little county paper,
Like letter from q friend

At the long weeks golden end!
The editor is lazy and he don't get

To gather up the items at the black

But here are all the funerals, and the

In simple old-time sweetness of an

Washington. Nov. 1.-The Della
ware led the sixteen bait eships of
the Atlantic fleet in gunnery efficien-
cy during the annual battle practice
held of the Virginia coast in Septem-
Der. The trophy winner last year,
the Vermont, stands third. The Del
aware's sister ship, the North Dako-
Ia, finished sixth. which Is considered
by naval officials as a splendid record
for ship which hal met with a seri-
GUS accident abCerd Just prior TO the
prac ice.
The sixteen ships In the feet have
the following standing in the depart
ment records: Delaware, Minnesota
Vermont, Idaho, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, New Hampshire. South Carolina
Rhode Island, Louisiana, Virginia.
Mississippi, Connecticut, Kansas.
Georgia, and Michigan. This order
may be changed as all the armored
cruisers are yet TO fire under the
same rules, and have a chance to win
the trophy.
Lieut.. Commander L. NJ. Overstreet
appears to be entitled to the palm
among the personnel of the fleet. He
was ordnance officer on the Delaware
during the recent practice, and serv-
ed in similar capacity on the Yer
mont when she won the trophy last
year.
Some notable shooting was done by
all the ships, and considering the in
creased range-from $500 to more
than 10000 yards-greater accuracy
was attained than on any previous
practice.
