THEY WANT MILK

TIE TRANSCRIPT scribe is reliably in
formed that the Middletown Farms Cream
cry wants more milk than is being receiy-
ed at the present time to gil its increasing
orders. This creamery paid to the farm
ers for the month Of September from ST. 16
to 50. 80 per 100 lbs. In dollars and cents
this amounts to from 593 cents TO $l.l5
for each so Ib. can of milk. When the
producer considers he has no baggage
tickets to buy, no cans to loose, and does
not have to worry over bis money after
the milk has been delivered, the prices
paid by the local company are equal to
those promised by those city milk men.
The October prices to be paid will in all
probability be 20 per cent. higher than
those pad for September.
Our farmers would make no mistake in
talking this matter over with some repre-.
sentative of the local creamery before con-
tracing With outside dealers.

BEAUTIFUL DAHLIAS

Cass street claims the honor, at the
home of Mrs. w. Pierce Bigga, of the in
comparably finest display, in splendid
growth and in number too, of Autumn's
stately f1ower-the dahlia.
We had the pleasure of inspecting her
fine collection containing between rs and
100 varieties Of this gorgeous-hued flower,
OF all coIors from "Uncle Tom" and
"Black diamond, as their names indicate,
sable hued, to Grand Duke Alexis, q
large petaled white dahlia. There was the
Pink Gem, the "FIora Dora" huge
specimen of deep purple, the "Mrs. Rose
velt", a pale pink; the Chicago, salmon;
the "W. A. Bassett", yellow; the "Mrs.
Welsh, red purple; the ''Lottie Eckford"
piebald; the Prince, pale red; the
Golden Wedding, like it's name-gol-
den; the "Orange Prince, also rightly
named; the :'20th Century, white; the
"Prof Mansfield" yellow tipped with red;
the Lemon Beauty, lemon colored, Of
course, the "sylvia"; the Exquisite, ,
the ''Sofferino", the Country Girr', the
"Jack Rose. Jean shermitt'' and dozens
more.
Among other varieties are number Of
so called cactus dahlias in which the leaves
are both narrower and fewer. One Of
these has but few broad, white petals,
and looks for all the world like a dog
wood blossom, only finer and more aristo-
cratic.
Mrs. Biggs had large number Of dah-
lias last year, but has since much increas.
ed her varieties. Displayed in their native
beauty, almost every rainbow tint ming
ing in one forid pattern Of color, it all
made in it's prime beautiful garden scene
and is even yet very lovely though the
storms have made some ravages.
Mrs. Biggs attended dahlia exhibition
and saw no finer flowers than her own
we can we'll believe it.

CENTURY CLUB LECTURE

To graceful speech Of welcome Mrs.
Frederick Brady, President Of the New
Century Club, introduced Professor Paul
M. Pearson, member Of the SWarthmors
College faculty, to an audience that com.
fortabIy filled the Club hall, on the oc-
casion Of bis lecture, Friday evening upon
James Whitcomb Riley.
Professor Pearson is an agreeable and
graceful speaker with pleasing vein Of
humor OF bis own and is besides finished
elocutioniet, and his recitations oil num-
Der Of Riley's best known verses, both in
the pathetic and in the comic way, was
exceedingly fine. He is congenial, sym
pathetic interpreter Of the poet whose
works we're his theme. His whole enter
tanning lecture upon the character and
beauty Of Riley's poetry was interlarded
with illustrative recitations that were very
effective.
Among other things be gave "a Life
Lesson" with it's tender refrain-''there,
little girl don't cry, don't cry; "a song",
"The Swimming Hole", etc.
His rendering Of ''Knee Deep in june
sample Of Rilsy's verse in the Hoosisr
dialect, was done with rollicking, infect.
ious appreciation that made his audience
smile and smile again. The speaker also
told several stories--one or two never pub.
lisbed-about bis author that gave pic.
ture of bis somewhat unique personality.
As compared Riley to Burns as one who
glorified common things, styled him the
poet of the plain people and their homeIy,
simple modes Of life.
The professor while referring to Riley's
funny illustration of the chap who when
trying to tell a comic story--forget the
point of il, told one Of his own which
must have amused bis hearers; viz, how
in a lecture at Dover once, quotation
slipped bis memory though be tried three
times to recall it. Then everybody after
the lecture wanted him to repeat those
supposedly purposely omitted words,
aud finally when the treasurer gave him
jolt, the words came to him. He said
he had hadreminders from pretty near the
four quarters of the globe from those pre-
present.
Certainly this Illuminating presentation
of Riley's poetry should cause all who
have not done this charming writer the
full justice of reading-now to do so.

Two Serenades Music and Din

Thursday evening following little must
cal effort by few lads who opened the
ball with noise, a bevy of young ladies,
and chums OF the late Miss Rose Weber,
who is now q sober matron to be, as Mrs.
Curtis Millman called on her and gave
her q very fine vocal and instrumental
serensde in honor of her marriage.
A special feature OF this festive occasion
was the antics of two ''clownesses" Miss
What's Her Name and Mrs. Wonder Who.
The music was greatly appreciated, and
won for the ladies q treat equally fine
at the hands of their hosts.
The above serenads was hardly over
before another one furnished by 26
young men of MiddIetawD, began. All
pademonium broken loose-alI the disso.
nant, discordant, ,ear.wracking -teeth.ach.
ing-noises ever heard! 20 Steam whistles.
and as many boiler makers pounding
away like mad, were as quiet as the grave
by comparison
Among the torturing instruments we're
bells, horns, tin pans, huge drum, any.
thing made of sheet iron that would din
and rattle, and more loud yawps and
Indian yells than Sitting Bulls band
ever sent upl
After about half hour of racket that
would have walked the "Seven Sleepers"
the musicians (?) we're bribed to quit
their music CD by generous treat of ice
cream and cake by Mrs. Millman and her
mother.
A number of older friends attracted by
the melodious proceeding-which it is
needless to say was heard pretty much all
over town-also came in and shared the
hospitality Of the newly welded pair, and
of Mrs. Weber. The two serenades lasted
till past eleven o'clock. .
