III, after calculating the cost and
expenses of delivering his milk TO the
consumer, he finds that he is losing
money, would he continue TO sell milk?
THE farmer Is selling his milk
product at a loss as long as he sells
IL at FIVE cents per quart, and he Is at
present staying in the business eX-
pectinE a raise to six cents per quart
Every quart of milk he sells and de-
livers at five cents he IS doing az a

apply tho Sherman act to compel our
farmers TO continue TO lose money?
Il desire to prove TO Mr.. Burris
and the milk consumers Of Whining
ton that the retail dealers are en-
deavoring to purchase our product
below cost by actual figures, and will
show that not only do We have in
vested $4,000 to produce $50 quarts
of milk a day, but furnish the milk
and wait until it is sold and collected
for before receiving any money-in
other words. furnishing part of the
capital for the retailer to do bust
ness.
There is a great deal of milk sold
in Wilmington at 10 cents a quart at
present. and all fair minded people
will concede to me that milk is one
commodity that as yet has not ad-
yanced when sold at $ cents per
quart Milk is scarce; farmers will
not buy any more cows and will not
buy feed to sell milk at less than six

GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
Pace in Putting.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Putting will lose much of its teri
rors to a timid beginner with the
realisation that pace is as essential
as the straight line to successfully
hole out in all tries for the cup. In
Judging pace the first consideration is
to estimate the length of the run-up
to the hole and whether the green is
Of a fast or a slow, retarding texture
of turf. The second point is to note
whether the ball will gain any help
from the ground or if there is a
battling influence in the slope of the
hillocks to be conquered.
No matter how straight the line may
be followed to the cup, or how cleverly
row from the ground, to get too much
force into the impact. or too little. will
cancel the otherwise precautions.
Never up, never i'm is the oldest and
truest axiom of the putting green. but
there should be some adage to cover
speeding of the ball across the green so
fast that it rebounds from the hole aft
er having struck fairly the far edge
of the tin How about never stop,
never I'M"
Control of pace is the cure for both
faults. One of the best ways to
gauge the force of the impact is by
the length one takes back the putter.
The shorter the putt, the closer the
club should be kept to the turf and
the follow through must be always on
the line. On long. running-up puts
the club goes back clear of the turf
and the swing gets force by the putter
head being raised, but it is again i'm
perative to follow on in the true di-
rection.
Club head must he swinging on the
line to the hole a the impact If the
putt is to go down. for any deviation
means a certain miss. The length to
which the club is taken back and the
distance the head is raised at the end,
before bringing the putter forward,
sets the pace. In timing the putt re-
member it is better to stop past the
GU than short of it.

afternoon in a match featured by the
hard hitting and accuracy of both men,
Brecks twisting service was smashed
back by Throckmorton for the first
time in the tournament that any one
has taken liberties with the delivery,
But, on the other hand, Throckmorton's
lightning like service was so returned
by Breck that the collegian could not
employ his usual dashing tactics and
lamp at the net immediately after serv-
ing on account of the pace and length
shown by both men, it soon developed
into smashing, driving back-court
game with occasional forays to the net
to finish the point with superb smash.
Throckmorton showed his usual great
ness in his volleys. and usually nm
ished the point with a low chop INTO the
corners of the court.
The match was won in straight sets.
