Milk Producers.

The Michigan Milk Producers as
ISOLATION, of which "A. l.. Chandler of
this city is a director, held a meet
ing in Lansing Monday afternoon at
the NJ. A. c., and passed a resolution
declaring that producers of the state
should receive not less than $1.60
per 100 pounds for milk. r. c. Reed
of Howell was employed for the COM
ing year as field secretary of the or
ganization.
The resolution of the organization
pointed out the fact that the cost of
producing milk has greatly increased
with other prices and that the sale of
milk at $1.6O per 100 pounds would
yield only fair profit to the producer.

Universal Postomos.

The smallest, simplest, and best pro.
tected postofice in the world Is in the
Straits of Magellan, at the lower end of
South America and has been for many
years. 1t consists Of q small painted
keg or cask, and is chained to the rocks
Of the extreme cape, 80 that 1t floats
free opposite Terra del Fuego. Each
passing ship sends boat to take letters
out and put others In. This curious
postoffice Is unprovided with a post
master. and is, therefore, under the
protection Of all nsvies of the world.
Never in the history of the unique Office
have the privileges been abused.

Have Strategic Value.
The three islands of the Danish
West lndies--St. Croix, st. Elomas
and st. John--lie due east of Porto
Rico, and their value to the United
States is strategic from a military
point of view. The harbors of ST.
Thomas and st. Croix are of first i'm.
portance to the American navy and
st. Thomas itself lies in the lane of
shipping from Europe to the Panama
canal. Important German and French
and English mail companies have
coaling stations there.
The acquisition of the islands by
the United States has been the sub.
ject Of unsuccessful diplomatic nego.
tiations since the civil war.
1t is said that If the proposed treaty
is ratified by both governments the
transfer will be submitted to the PEG.
pie of the island. In the first negotia-
tiation in 1865 they approved a
change.
