FARMERS RAISE
MILK PRICES

Cumberland county farmers took
action for joining in the general
movement among South Jersey far
mers to boost the price of milk at
meeting of the Cumberland County
Milk Producers Association held in
Ansink's Hall at Deerfield.
More than sixty representative
dairy farmers of this region attend
ed the meeting, which was presided
over by Frank Ware The milk stu
alton was discussed from many points.
Some of the farmers declared that
during the summer they were paid
only 3R cents a quart for milk by
the dairies. Others received 3% cents
per quart, and recently the price was
raised to Az cents. The farmers
agreed that they should stand togeth-
er for fiat price of 5 cents a quart
for milk at the farms.
This price is equivalent to the 51k
cent rate demanded by farmers in
other parts of the state, as nearly all
of the milk in this region is collected
right at the farms by auto trucks
sent out from the daries, and the far
mers are saved the bother Of deliv-
ering the product to the shipping sta
tions.
Following the discussion here last
night the members of the Milk Pro-
ducers' Association decided to hold
another session next Monday night,
when definite action will be taken to-
ward enforcing the demands of the
dairy farmers for wholesale rate Of
cents per quart for milk in this reg
ion.

report of their meeting to quote the

Mr.. Hettinger said that Mr.. Holmes
was rather indefinite There were
several hundred laws upon this SUBJ

Hettlnger. One cannot get fair in
depreciation of the law by reading
thls one section. There are 100 diff

A motion to request the newspapers
to print the section referred to bv
MT. Holmes, was passed by Council
Mr. Hettinger voting no.
Mr.. Hettinger said Mr.. Holmes

Mr.. Holmes said he was willing to
leave it in their hands.
Mr.. Hettinger said "That is a zood
one.'
A motion by Mr.. Channels was
passed, requesting Corporation Coun-
sci to present a written opinion
showing whose Jurisdiction Cumber-
land Park is under. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Holmes.
Mr. Hettinger moved that the City
clerk request the Park Commission
to spend some of its money on Cum

Mr. Holmes said he was willing the
motion pass, but he explained that the
Park Commission could not legally
expend dollar upon Cumberland
Park until there was further legisla-
ton. The motion was passed.
The Jaw which Mr.. Holmes desired
to have printed by newspapers is as
follows:
Sec. l. That in all cities of this
State which have heretofore or NAV

city shall levy tax of three-ffths of

taxable property in such city, such
tax to be levied and collected in like
manner as with the other general taxa
es of said city, and to be known as

ICE CREAM TO Be BICHER

Atlantic City, Oct 17.-Definite an
nouncement was made that ice cream
in bulk and sundries will be advanced
in price next year from to 10 per
cent. by the National Association of
Ice Cream Manufacturers, which
closed its annual convention here
this week.
The dealers in refusing to trail
along will be ignored by the other
manufacturers, who label such action
as Commercial suicide Delegates
in session today predicted an enor-
nous consumption for 1916, and de-
clared that the continuation of the
present scale would result in losses
with the abnormal cost of product,
and that they are virtually forced to
increase the prices in order to save
themselves.
Ice cream by mail may result with
the new container invented by the
Thermos Bottle Company, of New
York city, and it's success would save
thousands of dollars in transporta-
ton. Manufacturers say that the
cheaper expressage offered by this
container will further tend to bring
another great development in their
business. ".

MAKING UP
OFFICIAL TICKET


Deputy County Clerk Robert S.
Schiller is now giving all his time in
making up the form for the official
ballot which is to be used at the ap-
preaching fall election. This work is
most exacting and great pains must
be taken in order to prevent anything
like mistake.
The ticket will be on the blanket
form as prescribed by law, and will
be by far the largest ticket ever used
in an election in Cumberland County.
In size it will not be far less than a
page of an ordinary newspaper. There
are six electoral tickets upon the
sheet which adds to the size. Each
ticket must be the same size required
to print the longest list of candidates
which will be the ticket of Lands
township, which includes numerous
appropriations. There is also the
statewide referendum on the Eagen
road scheme. II
Deputy Schiller is expert in the
shaping up of official ballots, and is
thoroughly conversant with election
laws. s@sM

gay mummers and get down in the
business district. form merry mob
and there is fun riot that containues
for much of the evening. The streets
are crowded with the mummers and
sight-seers, but owing to lack of or
sanizat-on there is never any parade
which makes a spectacular display of
the fanciful costumed crowds.
This year there will be much fun
and far greater satisfaction, by rea-
son Of the effort of the League to
make from the fun making mobs, a
pageant with something like an or
derly procession, with bands of mus
ic, which will give the mummers
great opportunity for Halloween fun
and permit the public to have view of
all of the many characters in line.
The merchants are providing for
the Commercial League committee
valuable prizes which will be given
to the various contestants to whom
awards are made. There will be many
more contributions other than those
in the printed list in yesterdays Pic
neer.
The City Band and the Bridgeton
Concert Band viii furnish the music
for the paraders so that there will be
ample martial music for the occasion.
The parade route will comprise on
ly the down town paved streets and
there will be many countermarches
which will show the paraders to the
public many times, and also give
those participating opportunity to
view the others.
The organizations in line will be a
feature. Cups will be offered for
those having more than 25 in the
group, and there will be lively COM
petition. There will be two or three
features which will be especially sig
nifcant, and which will be presented
as a great surprise
Popular subscription will meet the
expenses which are necessarily in
volved. The expense will be about
$125 and it is urged by the League
Committee that this amount should
easily be raised with a subscription
of not more than 81 per person.

DIETING SQUAD
 LOSES WEIGHT
 AFTER DANCING
Happy on 40- Cents a. Day Meals Begins With
 Prunes.

Chicago. Dec. Dancing and diet ing evidently do not go together if one ] is to hold one's weight. The weigh ing in'' figures of Dr. John Dill Rob- ertson's "diet squad," which is demon strating that 40 cent worth of food a day is enough for the average in dividual, shows a- loss of 17h pounds 1 today when compared with yesterday s fgufes. The answer seems to be that most of them attended the annual dance of the Health Department at the Hotel Sherman last night.
 Only two members of the squad showed a gain over yesterday. They were Miss Borghild Halvorsen and Dr. Eva G.. Hansen; they gained a. half pound each.
 Comparing today's weights with those taken when the test started, seven members have gained 1015 pounds, but the other five members have lost 12 pounds-net loss one pound and one-half, and all because of the dance apparently.
 The weights registered after the squad had breakfasted today and those taken after the first meal of the test Wednesday follow.

NEW HAVEN ISN'T AFFECTED IN NEW DEMURRACE RATE.
System In Use at Present Will Be Continued for Rest
 at of Year.

Announcement made in Washington that the Interstate Commerce Com mission will not interfere in the new new sliding schedule of dernurrage Charges that will become effective to- day on most of the large railroads ot the country, does not effect the New Haven lines in New England where a similar rule to suit conditions has been in force for some time.
 The present rule. which will con tinue by permission of the federal and state authorities until Jan. 31, 1917, provides: Forty-eight hours of grace after the placing and notifi- cation of car, then three days at $1 demurrage a day with a charge of ! $6Afor every day after the first five.
 Under the new schedule that will be adopted today by most large rail- roads throughout the country to pre- vent car shortage, the consignee will have 18 hours of grace with a sliding scale of payments beginning at $2 for the first day after the original AS ] hours, $3 for the second day, $4 for sequent day. The New Haven rail- road will stick to the present rates until Jan. 31, at least.
 It is believed in this city that the granting of 4S hours with three addi- tional days at minimum demurrage rates is sufficient time for the ordin- e.ary consignee to unload any car un- less he desires to utilize the cars and Hra'cks of the system for storage cwareh ouse. It is this practice which railroad heads assert has caused much .nf the congestion in New England and fa car shortage which has threatened seriously the shipment of goods to New England in cars of other rail- roads.
