The Milk Producers Local of Hal
lowell has adopted the following prices
for milk, to take effect August /:
Quart. 9 cents; pint, cents: whole
sale price one cent less than retail. In
regard to pints, the loss in bottles Is
much larger than in quarts. 1t costs
almost as much for the smaller bot
tie, takes just as much work to deliy-
er it as do the larger bottles. 1t seems
that no business but the milk bust
ness has such an absurd situation as
the container being worth more than
the contents. We have been deliver
ing cents worth of milk in a Scent
bottle and if the buyer is inclined to
be dishonest he can sell the bottle and
make cents on the deal besides hav-
ing the milk.
We wonder if consumers have ever
compared milk with other drinks and
other foods? If one goes to a soda
fountain and pays or 10 cents for
some soft drink, they think nothing
of il; but compare it with one pint
OF milk, which is both food and drink
and see the difference; Well warrant
the two glasses of milk in the pint
will be more satisfying and nourishing
than any made up drink on the mar
ket. Every man who has investigated
the food value of milk finds that, with
meats and all other foods at present
prices, milk is actually worth 20 cents
q quart as a food.
For two years milk prices in Hal
lowell have remained stationary and
in that two years grain has advanced
yer 100 per cent. Bottles have gone
UP and even the small bottle cap has
doubled in cost Labor is not to be
hired for farm work on account of the
high wages paid in the cities. Fertil-
izer is almost out of sight and in fact
every single item purchased by the
milk man (and he probably buys a
greater variety of things than any
other class of people) has gone sky
ward and he feels that his goods must
sell for price that will enable him to
support himself and his family.

MiChaeliS' Statement Is
REGARDED as Weakening

London, July 30.-Statements by DR..
Michaels, German imperial chancel-
lor. and Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, which are
regarded here as obviously made in
collision, dominate the news columns
Of the morning papers. They are gen.
orally termed editorially as a sign of
weakness, while the absence of refer
ence to the future of Belgium and Ser
bia is considered to exclude all con-
fidcnce in the desire for peace by I'M
derstanding .Austro German peace talk
unless accompanied by an undertake
ing to evacuate and restore conquered
territories is declared merely to be
aimed at delaying Americas prepara-
tons for war.
Herr Michaelis' accusations against
France are dismissed by some COM
mentators as best left for refutation
by French allies but discussed by
others. one of which says the story
is toe thin even for the Germans to
believe. The Daily News, however.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-07-31

maintains that although the chancel-
lor's statements are valueless a evil
dence they cannot be left unanswered
and insist that a statement of war
aims to be formulated at the coming
conference Of allies must constitute
an explicit disavowal of all thought Of
conquest for conquest's sake.
The paper denounces the Ignorance
or the folly of Sir Edward Carson's
threat to drive Germany behind the
Rhine" which it says, has given Or.
Michaels a weapon which he was
swift to use.
1T is in the power Of the allies 70
render the weapon innocuous even
turning it against himself, but the re-
pudiation Of his charge musu come
quickly and in form leaving no loop
hole for misinterpretation.' The Daily
News adds.
The Chronicle proclaims its belief
that it would be unwise for the al
lies to deprive Germany Of genuine
German soil.
