Finally someone had happy thought IT was to really
buy some milk from producers and cnte into fair compe

There are some prices that need adjustment but
pepawsacaalogs and statistics will not touch the food

to hold prices to decent level
Portland is the ocean also it's located on river,

men did know anything about low prices they were
too busy making a lot OF money.
So the city officials took hold Of the matter They arc
engaged in selling fish prices that the small wage

THE ETHICS OF THE TROLLEY CAR.

MANY people who paronlIc local trolley have been
" schoocd in pollteneSs 1t is pleasure to ride with
them fellow w-passengers There lot of other people
who when nearing the stopping point in the terminal sta
tion, make dash for the front OF the car
These oughnecks are determined to get out of the car
ahead OF gentlemen They are mad to get the first trans
ters, regardless OF the ethics of the trolley car
Perhaps the street car management borrow few
cattle and them lines where poleness is not
much in evidence Possibly the installation OF a cattle
service might teach few people that others have
rights. II IS disgusting to Doors struggle through
to gain time at the expense OF ladies and gentlemen
Will the management OF the system kindly urge the
conductors to direct post graduate course for those
whose early instruction in poltcuess was neglected.
