Little Facts and Fancies About

why pigskin?" anxiously and in
hurt tone of voice inquired Johnnie
Reese, discussing the football season.
There isn't and never was foot
ball made of pigskin - have the
word Of the best informed footballist
in the world as to that. Footballs
are made Of a sow's skin or calf
skin-that Is, the part Of them that
isn't made Of rubber-and yet every
where that football Is talked of, one
hears of the 'pigskin' this, that, and
the other! How did it start? There
is no sense in It, Who first called
football 'pigskin?'"
Johnnie seemed to be awfully upset
about 1t, and all that, but there was
nobody in the crowd who could an
swer his query or relieve his robust
Indignation, nevertheless.
Charles n. Thompson, an important
member of Ringing Brothers Circus
staff, spent several hours with his
old friend Walter Taylor, Atlanta's
City Clerk, Wednesday on his way
from New York to Florida. Cosmopo
lite that he is, Mr.. Thompson imme
diately began to talk of how Atlanta
compared with the other leading
cities of the country, as soon as he
had given Mr.. Taylor the glad hand"
and been duly presented to a group
in the clerks office In the City Hall,

women just had to stand up. The

Mr.. Thompson did not mention the
difficulty of getting a pass down on

a woman on the train, but some of
the other members of the party did,
and with rather bitter emphasis.

should be used in the interests of Sec.
retary Walter A. Hunter on the charge
of conspiracy to fix the price of milk
to be paid farmers, were unanimously
adopted by the stockholders at their sew
enth annual meeting in the American

also taken to dissolve the present or
ganization because of possible VIOLA
tions Of the Sherman act, and com
mittee Of seven members appointed to
draft bylaws and rules necessary for
the organization of another company. on
larger, better and broader scale than
the DID,
It was resolved by the stockholders
that the present Organization, take steps
to assure MIR. Hunter of its full sup
port. and ii dissolved, to take steps to
protect his interests in the impending
legal proceedings.
Secretary Hunter in the course of his
report declared that ut has been said
that the consumers desired better milk
than they are willing to pay for. Is
this truef' he asked, then outlined the
cost of production and some OF the
things such as railroad rates, market
conditions and economy in distribution
which he felt ought to be corrected,
and which, would, in his opinion do
much to give the farmer better chance
to make living and develop his farm
resources.
Consumers, declared Mr.. Hunter,
SHOULD furnish the standard as to what
they want concerning bacteria tests"
As to the cost of production in the
towns, Mr.. Hunter allowed .0l02 cents
per quart for transportation, labor, ice,
ean shoppers, can. washing and miscel-
laneous expenses. For the expense in
the cities; for pasteurizing, washing of
bottles and jars, etc, .0l03 cents per
quart, salaries of drivers, and helpers,
foremen and laborers 0l27 cents; book
keepers, stationery, mending of cans,
telephone calls and bad debts, 0038;
team expenses, including horses, wag-
ons, harnesses, etc, .007, or a total of
.0477 shrinkage and loss.
Average prices paid to the farmer
from Oct. /, 1911, to Oct l. 1912, were
.o390 cents per quart, making total
of .0S64, which leaves profit to the
dealer of .0030 and one-third cents per
quart.
The above is figured on a basis of .0390 |
cents per quart. Mr.. Hunter declared |
that if an advance were made to 05 |
cents to the farmer the public would not |
pay less than 10 cents.
On the committee elected to draw up
plans for the new organization are: /. |
