MILK
Which Is Offered For Sale IN
Some Localities
Is Way Below slIndard Says
Commissioner

A bulletin was issued Saturday b,
State Dairy and Food Commission
Strobe. showing that some Of the mill

Observation during q period Of ter
years and recent investigations by the
state dairy and food department have
shown the somewhat startling fac,
that the average natural solid conten,
Of milk produced in Ohio is on the de
cline. So pronounced has this situa
tion become that many herds, and a
good many more Of Individual cows
are giving milk below the standard re
quired by the state law.
To what may this condition be at
tributed? Is II because the Holstein
COW is bred for quantity at the ex
pense OF solid content, or because OF
the Importation Of these cows from
neighboring states that have a higher
standard? II cannot be stated as a
rule that the producer is careless and
is breeding cows producing milk
which tests low, since figuring the
cows capacity In the quantity of milk
produced shows that she is losing mon
ey for her owner. 1t must be admit.
ted. however, that there are many Just
such cows.
Analysis of numerous samples of

ment proved them to be below stand.
ard in solid content, which has result
ed in many prosecutions. These sam.
pies were purchased on the streets or
upon delivery to milk depots, cream.
cries. and cheese factories in various
parts of the state, and these samples
were thoroughly representative of the
product sold.
It could not be believed that so
many producers were actually water
ing or skimming their milk, and his
led to further investigation. Inspec.
tors visited a number. OF dairies and
tested samples from individual cows
for butter fat. Samples were also test
ed after the milk from number Of
cows had been mixed. The result was
surprising. There W1fe cows whose
milk barely tested 2.3 per cent, others
ranging from this up to three per cent,
which is the legal butter fat standard.
Milk producers in Ohio are confront.
ed with the question of increasing the
fat content of milk. as the price apid
for 1t is based upon the legal stand.
ard, and there is less profit in hand
ling a great quantity Of milk than is
necessary to comply with the legal
test for butter fat. Then again, If the
milk is below standard, either from ma
tural or artificial causes. the producer
is liable to prosecution. The law rec
ognizes only one standard which was
made low enough that II was believed
1t would meet al natural conditions.

Home RULE
To Be Delayed IN Detroit
For One Year
0igh State Tribunal Puts
0ut Amendment

Detroit, Mich, June Under the
most favorable circumstances, IL will
be nearly year, II not longer, before
Detroit can have In operation any re.
vision or amendment of its charter, ac.
cording to recent decision of the su.
preme court.
The decision is given in an appeal
taken by the city of Saginaw from a
decision by Circuit Judge Kelley s.
Searl Of Ithaca, in which he held that
the amendment made by the Iegisla-
ture Of 1911 to the home rule law of
1909 is wholly unconstitutional and
void, and that therefore all cities must
amend their charters according to the
provisions of the original home rule
law. The supreme court sustains Judge
Scarf unanimously.
The 1911 amendment to the home
rule law was intended to give cities
the power to amend their charters
piecemeal without placing themselves
under the operation fthe law by the
process Of an initial general charter
revision. says the Free Press. The
supreme court last year declared an
important part of the amendment in
valid in the civil service case that was
taken fromp Detroit on the relation
of Alderman James Vernon. Judge
Searl held, and the supreme court sus-
tains him, that one essential part of
the amendment having been knocked
out, the whole of it falls.
The law Of 1909. jhich stands as i
was adopted, provides that any city
that desires to adopt home rule by hav-
ing general charter revision must
submit the proposition of such a revi.
sion at regular municiapl election
and that the members of the charter
revision commission shall not be chos-
en- at the same election.
The next regular municipal election
in Detroit will be Nov. s, and therefore
nothing can be done towards char
ter revision until that time.
Even then all that can be done at
that time is to decide by ballot wheth-
er there shall be general charter
revision. 1f'it rs decided in the aflirm-
atiye there will have to be a primary
and another election for the selection
OF members OF the charter revision
commission, and still another election
for the adoption or rejection of the re-
vised charter.
Under ordinary circumstances the
charter revision commissioners would
be elected at the regular spring elec.
tion on the first Monday in April next.
Then they would have 80 days in
which to sit, and it would take another
80 days to call special election for
the submission Of the revised charter.
30 that 1t would be August, 1918. be.
fore the city would be operating under
home rule.
The time might be shortened little
by holding a special primary and elec.
tion before April for the selection of a
charter revision commission, but that
would cost $40,0 900 or $780, 900 and would
would save only a few months at
best. The charter revision commission
might save little more time by not
sitting the full 80 days allowed by the
law. but that is a matter that would be
entirely up to the commissioners,
whose names have not been intimated
as yet.

Nav Not Pass Through.

Atlanta, Ca, June 5.-While the
friends of Thomas B. Fielder do not
believe he has ever violated any
criminal statute in South Carolina,
neither do they propose to let the
governor of that adjoining State get
his hands on Fielder if they can help
it. They figure that it would be bit
ter pill for Mr.. Fielder and triumph
for Cole Blease if he could succeed
merely in jailing Fielder over night.
Therefore they are going to ad-
wise and try to persuade Mr.. Fielder
not to go through South Carolina at
all on his way to the Baltimore con-
vention but to travel around by Chat
tanooga and Cincinnati.
1t is believed that Mr.. Fielder will
accept their advice, as he has been
avoiding passing through South Caro-
lima ever since Blease first issued
the warrants against him. Mr.. Eel
der is now in Chicago.

To Pray SO Hours.

Atlanta, June 6.-Nearly 1000
people have decided to pray without
ceasing all night long and possibly
for SO successive hours without stop
ping for either food or sleep, in the
hope of forcing upon the personal at
tention of God the terrible muddle
in which the Tabernacle Baptist
church of this city has recently found
itself through difference of opin-
ion among members of the congre-
cation.
The congregation is so split on
number of questions, including that
of whether or not the pastor, DR..
Macarthur, should wear a robe or
not when he breaches, that they
have practically given up hope OF
coming to a peaceful conclusion by
mere human methods. Consequent
ly they decided to appeal directly to
the Lord, and in order that there
may be no uncertainty about His get
ting a full insight into their plight,
they propose to pray long and all
together.

Left 100000 to Bel1boys.

Albany, June S.-Three gentle
manly hotel bellboys are rolling in
wealth because of the courtesy they
showed to an old lady, Mrs. Hannah
Dwight Greene, aged 81 years, when
she died few months ago, expatiat-
inging on their friendship and affi-
ability, divided her entire estate of
$4,000 equally among the three
young men in her will, which was
protested here by Surrogate Wander
zee.
The lucky bellboys are Edwin J..
Greenwood, Thayed's Hotel, Littleton
N. H.; George Hadenburg of Provi-
dence, R. l., and Frank Donegan of
the Hotel Westminster, Boston.
While an old resident of this city,
Mrs. Greene spent the last years of
her life at the hotels where these
young men work. She was the aunt
of the widow of Lucky" Baldwin,
millionaire sportsman and mining
speculator, and of Charles and Sam
uel Bowles, owners of the Spring
field Republican, and her estate rep
resents the savings from allowances
which they made her for years pre-
vious to her death. Much of her
money was invested in New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
and United State Steel stock.

panying an amendment which he Of
fered to the pension appropriation
bill so as to provide a pension OF
$50 a. month, instead of sou a
month, to the widow of Admiral
Schley.
The senate adopted the amend

that Admiral Schley's widow was IN
