MAY RAISE THE
PRICE OF MILK
Movement on Foot to Raise the Price
Of MIX to Ten Cents Per
Quart and Bottle
RETAIL GROCER TALKS
Does Not Think the Proposition to
Deliver 1t Through the Retail
Grocers ls Feasible
Plan.

The price of milk may be raised to
ten cents a quart in ISeolluk, all milk
bottled and delivered through the re-
tail grocers.
A prominent citizen, who refuses
to allow his name to be divulged,
makes the following statement:
There is movement on foot to have
the milk bottled by all diaries, deliy-
cred to the retail grocers and let
them deliver it to their customers. II
the movement is carried out, the
price Of milk will be fifteen cents a
quart bottle with a five cent rebate
for the return of the bottle
The movement is said to originate
in the general upward trend OF prices
1T costs the dairyman more for feed
now than formerly, more for his help
and the demands of the state officials
and the pure food laws generally in
crease the cost of the milk to the
dairyman. The present price of mill
here Is eight quarts for one dollar, OF
eight and one-third cents per quart.
1t is not known just where thu
movement originated or who is push
ing it. Two local dairymen have de
MED any knowledge Of such propo
sition. A retail grocer, however, WHIT
knows Of the proposed advance ant
change, doubts If 1T will be carried
through. He thinks that in the sum
mer when it is difficult to keep mill
that the time lost in transferring !
through the grocer's hands woul'
mean much loss through sour milk
He thinks the grocer could not handl
the mill. without specially prepared
wagon.
/ Some authoritative announcement
on the question is looked for in tn
near future.
