Milk at Old Prices. - Rock Island
County Milk Producers association
held meeting in South Moline town
hall and decided to make no change
at this time in wholesale milk prices.
This was the only important action
taken during the meeting, which was
attended by two-thirds of the entire
membership. Last fall producers or
ganized their association at a time
when pasture was scarCe-due to the
drouth-and need Of protection was
felt. They claimed com pensation
received for sale of milk at whole
sale to the dairy wagons did not pay
the running expenses of their farms.
At that time rate of 3 to Is cents
per gallon, according to the proxim-
ity of the establishments to the cities
of Rock Island and Moline. was fix
ed. 1t is this price that the assO-
citation has decided not to change.
This action is taken to mean that
there will be no radical change in
retail milk prices as well. Presi-
dent Milton Stone presided during
the session, which was addressed by
J. H. Smith and brother, milk pro-
ducers OF CISCO, Ill. The Smith
brothers supply milk to Rock Island
retailers via daily forenoon trains Of
the Rock Island G. Peoria. Their
talk was instructive and received an
attentive hearing.

pie of the South, with out regard to
their callings, to such conditions and
make them see that they must cor
rect these evils? 1t is not necessary
to have more laws enacted to govern
cotton exchanges, because laws can
be evaded in many ways but it is
necessary for US to change the man
ner of marketing our cotton SO as to
eliminate the cotton exchanges from
the field.
Here in Macon there has been be-
gun a work in the organization of the
Southern States Cotton Corporation,
which is intended to correct the
troubles we suffer from and eliminate
a large cost Of marketing the cotton
and which is now charged to the
grower of this crop.
This corporation can be made
complete success by intelligent man
agement and the cooperation of the
various business interests Of the
South, whether they he engaged in
the cultivation Of the soil or lending
money in the form of banks
Because the proposition Of the
Southern States Cotton Corporation
is a great one is no reason why it can
not be worked out and l wish to ask
every man in the South, for himself,
to look into it's possibilities and [
believe that no one will doubt it's
feasibility or withhold his support
both morally and financially.

They have all had their way. The
official record of the proceedings of
the committee are available and
everything that he says with respect
to the origin of the various clauses of
the bill and the way they were set
tied is open to verification.
The main point of interest with the
people is that the law is the most
effective weapon for their defense
against aggression, monopoly, con-
solidation of evil sort that was ever
put into the form of law in any coun-
try or any age. 1t is the greatest
statute of it's kind that was ever con-
ceived and made 'effectual and the
people are beginning to appreciate
it, so that statesmen who come for
ward with plans for tinkering with
that statute are likely to find that
they are having their labor solely
for their pains.-Buffalo News.

GOMPERS.

Labor was grossly deceived" said
Mr.. Gompers with considerable emo
tion.-Daily Paper.
Yes, it was. But were you? Was
it news to you last week that the men
were guilty, or was your emotion due
to the announcement that they had
confessed? If any one has been SER
viceable in deceiving labor about the
McNamaras, it has been you, Mr..
Gompersl Burns thinks you have
been convinced for months past that
those men were guilty, and Burns
seems quite apt to think right.
Why did you do it, Mr.. Gompers?
Was your heart really with the dyna-
miters and sympathetic with their
methods, or was it only that you
thought there was a chance to get
them off if all trades-uniondom would
line up to do it?-Harpers Weekly.

LAST CHANCE FOR FREE LAND.

There will be just such a rush for
Mexican land this winter. as there
was in Oklahoma when it was opened
for settlement. In Tropical Mexico,
the fertility of the soil is inexhaust-
ible. Land that will grow bananas to
perfection, can be got free, all that
is required is to have five acres of
bananas planted within five years.
You can get the planting done
by authorized Improvement compa-
MES, on the installment plan, by pay
ing SIS a month at first. You do not
have to go to Mexico. People living
in the United States and Canada can
get particulars regarding Mexican
Land by addressing The Jantha Plan
tation Company, Block, 946 Pitts
burgh, Pa. Bananas begin bearing in
about one year. The profit is from
5000 to $500 per acre. Producing
banana orchards sell for one thous-
and dollars per acre. I write this
hoping that many Of your readers
may be benefited as I have been, for
I think it the opportunity of a life
time, and within the reach Of all.
