Dairymens' Annual Meeting

1
The annual meeting of the Burling.
ton County Dairymen's Association
was held at the court house last night
There was good attendance
The following officers were elected:
President, Clifford Emmons; vice pres
ident, Henry S. Lippincott; secretary
John B. Tilton; treasurer, Morris Lip
pincott.
Vice President Allabach, of the In
ter-State Association, stated that
there had been considerable complaint
about the low price of tn cents per
quart fixed by the Association for
November. He said this figure had
been fixed because there had been a
surplus of milk on the market, which
kept the price down. Early in the
month, however, the government en-
barge on shipping condensed milk
abroad was lifted, after which the
evaporating concerns became heavy
buyers and the product became scarce.
AS result, some dealers paid half a
cent more per quart in order to get
milk. The price for January has not
yet been decided upon, but will be fixed
next Friday.
Robert W. Balderston, secretary of
the Interstate Association, gave the
result of the government investigation
of the cost of distribution of milk by
dealers in Philadelphia. The authori-
ties had ascertained that the dealers
had made an average profit of only
three per cent. during the past year,
which is less than that of any other
dealers in the east. AS the farmers
and dealers both must receive more
money, the price must advance.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Balders-
tons remarks there was a general dis
cussion.
The consensus of opinion was that
the present wholesale price of TIC is
too low; that milk cannot be produced
at that price, and that unless there is
a substantial increase, many dairy
men will be compelled to discontinue
the business.

Camp Dix.

A number of Mount Holly women
have been making weekly visits to Y.
NJ. c. A. huts to mend clothes for the
soldiers. They find plenty of work,
and their kindness is much appreciat-
ed.
While the greater number of soldiers
here will be granted furloughs to go
home for Thanksgiving, number of
officers and men, approximately 1000,
will be required to remain to attend to
camp duties. These men will not be
deprived OF good dinner, however, as
the Burlington County Red Cross has
arranged feast for 800 of the soldiers,
to be served in Y. M. c. A. huts, and
about 60 others will be given a similar
treat in the Soldiers Club House,
Mount Holly. Some of these men,
while not remaining for duty, reside in
remote parts OF the country, too far
away to make 1t possible to go home.
Part OF the men who are far from
their residences will be cared for in
Mount Holly. A number of others
will be invited to have dinner in
households.

been so crowded that it is almost i'm
| possible to pass through, and for this
reason Chief w. II. Davis, of the police
force is having cards printed annoumc.
Ling that in future autoists, who wish
10 park cars, must leave them on the
side streets or risk being fined.

Court Affairs

Joseph Schauerman, of Maple Shade
was fined $50 for an assault on Joseph
Weiselberger.
i Samuel and Joseph Rosenthal and
David Schurlman, who had retracted
their pleas of not guilty to the charge
Of stealing chickens, were sentenced to
pay fine of $500 each. The men live
at Trenton.
Armin Volmar, of Mount Holly, was
put on trial for stealing three bags of
feed from Pennsylvania railroad car.
The case had not gone far before the
defendant changed his mind and
pleaded guilty. He was sent to the
county jail for six months and ordered
to pay fine of $50.
On Thursday, in the matter of the
appointment of guardian for Adam
Karge, who was recently declared a
lunatic, Mr.. Stackhouse asked that
the Central Trust Company. of Cam
den be named. v. Claude Palmer, rep
resenting the children of Mr.. Karge,
objected to this appointment. He held
that Mr.. Karge, in the time when his
mind was clear, had conducted bust
ness at the Farmers Trust Company,
OF Mount Holly, and that a majority
OF his property was in charge of that
institution. Mr.. Palmer held that a
trust company right in the neighbor-
hood OF the property and in close touch
with the children, could better admin
lister the trust than corporation some
distance away could. The court took
the same view of the matter and ap-
pointed the Farmers Trust Company
guardian.
Several criminal cases were disposed
of yesterday afternoon.
Ernest Stevens, colored, pleaded
guilty to committing an assault on
James Mccain.
Martin Wolfrom, colored, entered the
same plea on similar charge pre-.
ferred by James Bedwell.
The troubles occurred at Camp Dix,
where the men are employed on con-
struction work. They both were placed
on probation.
James Robinson pleaded guilty to
receiving an overcoat that had been
stolen from David Longfellow, at
Camp Dix. He also was placed on
probation.
John HendrickSon, charged with
getting money under false pretences
at Burlington, pleaded guilty. He
impersonated an officer, made an ar
rest, and collected $3.50 fine from his
victim. The case will be disposed of
on Friday.
Gustave Johnson entered a plea OF
guilty of stealing two finger rings from
Harry Stratton, at Bordentown. SEN
tence will be imposed on Friday.
