Price Of Milk is j
Boosted Because Of
The Short Supply

Short pastures. lack of dairy cows
and the high cost Of feed are given
as reasons for an advance in the price
of milk announced by number of
diaries.
The Atlantic Sanitary dairy, one of
the largest, was the first to announce
the increase. The Atlantic raised the
price from 8 cents to cents a quart
for milk. Cream will henceforth cost
8 to 10 cents for half pint.
All of the other diaries in the city
are expected to advance their prices
shortly.
The last increase in the milk price
was three years ago, when it was
raised from 7 to 8 cents.
81 presume milk will never be
cheaper said Milk Inspector Claude
Bose, NOW that it has reached this
price"

MAY ASK FOR DELAY

mission to Postpone Date.
THIRTY ATTEND MEETING

Discussion of the possibility Of ask
ing the Interstate Commerce commits
sion to postpone the date Of effec-
tiveness of the advanced freight rate
ordered by that body for Nebraska
recently, occupied most OF the morn
ing session of the freight rate men
and traffic men from Nebraska towns
and Missouri river cities at the Com
mercial club.
Thirty traffic men are taking part
in the conference. When the Inter
state Commerce commission declared
Nebraska rates, as ordered by the Ne
braska commission two years ago,
discriminatory and ordered them adj
vanced to a scale somewhere near
where they stood before the reduc-
ton it was ordered that the advanced
rate become effective September Is
of this year. This is an exceptionally
short period of time, when it is con-
sidered what must be done in the way
of rearranging the schedules, printing
the tariffs and getting them properly
distributed thirty days before they are
to become effective.
Aid to Railroads.
Thus Il would be considered an ac-
commodation not only to the ship
pers, but to the railroad men them
selves, If the date OF effectiveness
could be postponed to allow more
time for the readjustment.
The conference will last all Of to-
day, and perhaps even longer.

bidding it in was because it had be-
longed to my old friend, Doctor
Burke. They wrapped it up TOR me

IDENTIFY an old one. 1t is indeed a great
sorrow to me, Miss Burke, that you
should have suffered so great loss
through my carelessness."
I'm afraid, DEAR" said Hope, as,
having taken leave of Romero, they
were riding down the trail which led
to the railway, that this puts an end
to our hope OF finding the secret, at
least for the present. If we only
knew the title of the book that
Romero lost we could obtain dupli-
cate copy, but, as we don't know it,
the only alternative we have left is tc2

works we can find In the hope that
we may eventually strike the right

about that old book" said Cleo. you
told me the other day that would
be very rich when the secret was
found $50 but am already very rich
in having your love, dear heart. Be
lieve me, Jarvis, secret or no secret, i

said Hope, then you are quite the
richest person in the world, for |
know that no one ever loved a woman
as much as love you, And If can't

least make you very, very happy"
1t was with singing hearts, there
fore, that, the loss of the book already
forgotten, they boarded the train for
San Francisco.
As they entered the hotel Cleo was
chatting gayly about her plans for
the wedding, which was to take place
the first Of the following week.
"Of course" she was saying, now
that the secret of the submarine is
probably lost forever, we will have
to live on your pay, Jarvis, so we
must have a very simple wedding

special delivery letter for you. II

CHANGING with some surprise at the
superscription, which was in dash
ing feminine hand, Hope tore oper
the envelope and drew out the shee,
of crested and scented note paper. Al
first he glanced curiously at the
closely written sheet; then, as though
he could not credit the evidence Of hi.

ficance of the message dawned upor
him he turned deathly pale; the hanc
holding the letter dropped lifelessl,
to his side; a horse exclamation es
capped him. Mot:onless, as though
carved from stone, he stared befor,
him with unseeing eyes, the image o

Road Specialists of Department Of Az
riculture Place the Responsibility.

riculture Place the Responsibility.
| Where county builds good road
and soon lets II become rutty. washed
out or uneven. who or what Is prn.
cipally to blamei AS result Of q
study Of conditions in n number OF
counties, road specialists of the de
partment are inclined to place the re
sponsibility upon the following defects
In road management. some or all of
which are found in all counties where
good roads are not properly repaired
and maintained:
FirSt.-County boards, although hav
ing full administrative authority. ap.
pear not to attach to their official ac,
tion in road matters the importance Or
legal effect which it should have
SecOnd.-COunty boards do not gen.
orally have sufficient accounting con-
troll of road funds to know what is
available for any particular project
where funds have been or where ex
sting balances are to be expended.
Third.-Lack of any systematic prac-
tice in handling road funds among
most counties makes 1t very difficult to
carry out over even a single year any
persistent maintenance policy, because
funds officially obligated for main
tenance purposes are not protected
against sporadic and irregular drafts
for miscellaneous purposes. The great.
est likelihood consequently exists ev-
erywhere that there will be no balance
in the maintenance fund In the last
half or third of the year. although only
a part of the fund allotted may have
been spent.
Fourth.-Local labor available for
maintenance work is made dissatisfied
by the constant, unintelligent and un-
favorable criticism of those using the
road
Fifth.-Maintenance continuing over
period Of years-the ultimate indis-
pensable condition of effective main
tenance-is jeopardized by the lack OF
accounting control that will prevent
spending next years current income in
this year
Sixth.-The lack Of skilled supervi-
sion In construction and the effect OF
this in increasing the cost or in making
effective maintenance impOssibly ex-
pensive is everywhere seen.
Seventh.-The county authorities are
commonly opposed to following sug-
gestions for maintenance that involve
tying up road funds in any way. such
rs purchasing materials In advance to
store along the road for making repairs
or maintaining the road surface.
