MILKNEN MAY Erect
COOPERATIVE DAIRY
Will Push Project for District if Mu-
nicipal Plant Plans Fail.

Unless a municipal dairy is established
in Washington without undue delay, the
Maryland and Virginia producers who
supply the local demand will drop the
whole project, so far as the municipal
authorities are concerned, and build a
distribution depot of their own, to be
conducted on a cooperative basis.
This decision was reached at a meeting
held yesterday IN the Munsey Building
by the executive committee of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Prod ucers' Asso-
citation. which elected Z. E. Booker busi-
ness manager.
Mr.. Booker will open an ofrice in the
Munsey Building and enter upon his
duties by perfeCting the organization of
the affiliated producers. Members from
the seven Virginia and four Maryland
counties represented were delegated b.
the executive committee to strengthen and
build up their respective local organiza-
tions and to encourage interest in the
movement on the part of individual pro-
6ucers.
Literature dealing with the co-opera-
tive aims OF the association will be placed
at the disposal Of these men and OF the
committee of Eeven named at recent
meeting.
The plan to be followed by the milk
producers parallels that OF the California
Fruit Growers Exchange, the greatest
cooperative organization IN ire "OTlu,
which last year transacted business to
the amount Of $50OOO,0OO.
In addition 10 establishing a cooper
ative distribution system. the association
Contemplates the purchase by carload of
feed, fertilizers, milk cans and stand ard
lied equipment of all kinds, to be allotted
as needed in the different communities.
1t is proposed also to arrange for the
exchange OF breeding animals, particu-
larly blooded bulls.

ton of the Adamson bill as the most
shocking thing that has hETT5.Ied in my
memory in political life
Returning to the Mexican attack, Mr..

deny that It had sent the instructions to
John Lind. uncovered the other day at
South Bend. and quoted by Hughes again
tonight, declaring that Huerta must get
out OF Mexico. He again laid the respon-

at the door of President Wilson.
Bestowing high praise on Myron T.
Herrick, Ambassador to France when
the Wilson administration took Of
nee, and recalled in the midst of ex-
citing duties in connection with the
great war, Hughes said:
1T will ever remain a blot on the
present administration that It suf-
fered him to be superseded at that
critical time"
Finally he seized upon the occasion
of another tariff talk to serve notice
upon Republicans generally that he is
to be the boss, II elected, and that no
special favors are to be expected
with regard to the John Lind in
structions, he read once more the
proposition Wilson is declared to have
instructed Lind to lay before the min

"Huerta will be put out II he doesn't
get out, that Is the preference of the
President that II be accomplished by
domestic means IL possible, but il II
cannot be done by domestic means
other means adequate for the purpose
will be resorted to-"
Il have read that as a statement OF
what John Lind was authorized 10 say
to a foreign minister. and I now chaI-
lenge the administration to deny that the
authorization was given" he declared.
Beginning the day at Findlay Mr..
Hughes spoke successfully at Bowling
