recently come to the attention of the
Danish public through the presenta.
ton of four black panthers to tbs

The residents of Stockholm think
they have been paying pretty stiff
prices for milk in the past, but it may
be taken for granted that the prices
they will have to pay in the future will
be still higher. The reason for this is
that the farmers round about the CAPT.
tai city have organized an association
which has taken over the five big
companies heretofore constituting the
Stockholm milk trust and will COM
pletely monopolize the milk business
OF the city. The manager of the milk
trust, Mr.. BenZinger, will be the head
OF the new organization and will
doubtless see to 1t that the milk Is
sold at profit. The taking over of
