Stories of a Buddhist Imaqe.

Interesting stories are told of Bud dhist image in a temple in the suburbs of Kioto. According to a record con- tained inside the image it was carved by famous Buddhist priest and it is believed that worshipers of the image will surely receive divine favor. At one time when a fire broke out in the temple, unknown to the caretaker. the image awoke him by calling "Firer and thus saved the temple from de- struction. Another story says that the image was once stolen by thief, who, however, fell dead when he was run ming away. Still another report says that no dust ever accumulates on the head of the image.

What's the Usef

A cavalry recruit was suffering his first field day. He managed to con trol himself and his horse fairly well until the guns went off. Then the beast jibed and capered, and the rider dismounted rather hurriedly, but he was quickly back in his seat again. Again the guns sounded, and again the raw rider was thrown. This time he calmly went round to his horses head and stood there holding the reins and batting it soothingly.
 "Why don't you mount again, man. roared the sergeant furiously.
 "Wot's the good?" replied the recruit disconsolately. Those blooming guns will go off again in a minute. Lon don Globe.

DAIRYMEN WIN
 FULL VICTORY

 Distributors Surrender.
PERMANENT PRICE BOARD.

Plan For Continued Peace In Milk in-
 dustry Suggested In Appointment of
 Such a Commission-lncreas Price
 to Hold Until Jan. i, When Commit
 tee Will Recommend New Rate.
 With complete victory to their credit. John J. Dillon, state commis- sioner of foods and markets. and otfi- cials of the Dairymen's league are re- ceiving congratulations from farmers all over the state. Milk is again flow ing into New York city.
 Telephones and the telegraph car ried the good news to the farmers that the big distributors had acceded to the terms of the league, and the sur render was made complete when the Borden company. the last to come into line. gave in. All the smaller dealers had already accepted the new contract.
 Producer Gets More.
 By this contract the distributor is to pay the farmer 45 cents per 100 pounds more for milk than he received last year. That is approximately m increase of cent per quart. This price is to hold until Jan. 1, 1917, after which the price for milk for the next three months is to be fixed by a com mittee of two dealers, two members of the Dairymen's league, and a fifth member selected by these four. Both sides have agreed to accept the figure agreed upon by this committee. selections had been made as yet. though a number of the dairymen ex- pressed the hope that State Commis- sioner of Foods and Markets John J.. Dillon, who conducted their fight against ,the distributors for them, would have place on the committee. While the farmers were congratulat- i ing each other on their victory over the so called milk trust" they realiz- ed that it had been an expensive fight for both sides and that the losses con sequent upon it had run into the mil | lions.
 l As a result both sides are consider | ihS ways anu lO pl0hNhN curence of the trouble. It is suggested 1 that after the committee decides upon the prices for January, February and March a permanent arbitration com mittee be appointed to settle future i disputes without going to the extreme of declaring a milk boycott. Permanent Price Board.
 Another suggestion was that a per- manent joint price committee be ap- ! pointed by the two sides to fix prices to be paid to the farmers in the fu- | ture.
 l Commissioner Dillon and some of the members of the executive commit tee of the league Saturday addressed mass meeting of farmers at Pawling. Duchess county, a large milk produc- ing point.
 | Originally the purpose of the meet ing was for MT. Dillon to explain to the farmers the circumstances in the ! fight among the leagues officers. which resulted in the busting of Presi- dent Jacob '. Brill by the board of directors after he had ignored the ex- ecutive committee In making agree ments. The meeting, however, resolv- ed itself into a jubilee in celebration of the farmers victory.
