o. Death Where Is Thy sting!
Editor Herald:-There IS univer-
sal dread Of death among the child
rem Of men, and yet in one OF our
churches on last Sunday a large con-
gregation united in singing, and
with fervor the following lines:
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I we're in theel
Would God my woes we're at an
end,
Thy Joy that 1 might see"
II that was a prayer, then there
are many people in Farmville who
are ready and anxious to die, and
to such people death hath no sting
And this is a comforting thought.

pear trees on the Stanley Park farm

Neil Twomey, who dramatized Au
gusta J. Evans famous novel, "St.

possible, is OF even greater interest
than the book. In the title role OF
st. Elmo Murray is found one Of the
most interesting characters in the
entire library Of fiction, and this
parsonage when reproduced in dra-

interest. St.Elmo long has been one

Every County Should

The Journal regrets to note that a

decided to not hold any senatorial pri-

but that the vast. majority Of demo

That being the case, The Journal
would suggest that, wherever the

DAIRYMENs PROFITS SMALL
Are Paid 2Ia to ga Cents Quart for
Milk They Testify

Albany, Jan 15.-Up-state milk
producers testified today at the open
ing of three days sitting before
Special Deputy Attorney General J.
c. Coleman who is conducting an in
quiry into the alleged milk dealers
combine and the high price, of milk,
especially in New York City. Isaac
Magoon of Addison testified that the
farmers in his vicinity found 1t to
their advantage to manufacture and
sell cheese rather than to sell the
milk which could not be produced for
less than 3 cents per quart The
milk, he said, was taken by the farm
ers direct to vicinity cheese factor
les. Figures were given by Magoon
relative to the cost of keeping fifty
head of cattle at the present prices
of feeding stuffs, upon which he bas-
ed his deduction of cost of cents
per quart for the milk.
Milk producers from Columbia, AL
leghany. Otsegc, Broome, Chenango,
Tioga and other counties testified. 1t
was the opinion of the witnesses that
the dairymen received only from 2A
to 81 cents per quart for their milk,
and that there was little profit for
them The milk, they said was sold
to middlemen and wholesalers who
shipped it to New York, evidently
making substantial profits in view Of
the fact that cents per quart is
charged to consumers in New York
The price paid by the Consolidated
Milk Exchange to upstate middlemen
was not developed.

Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the aged
philanthropist.
Colonel Swopes death was at first
attributed to apoplexy but a quick

hoped to inoculate members of the

New York, Jan. 15.-Trade condit

probably increase their prices from
10 TO - per cent before the close Of
the present year said President John
H. Hanan, in effect, as he addressed
the annual convention of the Nation
al association of Boot and Shoe Man
ufacturers.
The convention adopted a resolu-

of the increased cost OF materials.
I'VE caution our members and the
trade generally against any attempt
at lowering the standards Of quality
for the purpose of producing shoes at
former prices The advance in the
cost of production is so extreme that
any attempt to meet it in this man
ner is sure to result in disaster to
