TO LARGER field
REV. l.. II. GWYNN Is TO GO TO
CHICAGO-BEEN HERE A
YEAR AND A HALF.

Rev. L. t. Gwynn, pastor of Grace
Episcopal church of this city. an
nounces today that he intends to
leave about October Is to accept the
larger charge of ST. C~hristopher's
church, in the Oak Park district,
Chicago. He is drawing his work in
this parish to a close, leaving ii in
shape for a successor, but who has
not been selected yet.
Mr.. Gwynn has been pastor of this
parish for IS months, coming here
from Winner. He has made many
friends among his own flock as well
as among those with whom he comes
in contact in matters of purely world
ly nature since his incumbency in
Madison. His work here was just be-
ginning to take on an effective and
active character after becoming thor
oughly acquainted in this field and
conversant with its needs and meth
DDS. He is a man of large attain
ments and excellent training, and in
the nature of ability, this congrega-
ton could not expect to retain him
for long, for other and larger con
g%regations would soone or later
claim him for their own.

thirds he has to buy of other dairy
men, paying. after the first of the
month, $3.50 a hundred pounds for
it. Six months ago he paid $3.50 a
hundred. This would not be so bad,
but he also must go daily to the pro-
ducers' premises and get the milk,
then distribute it among his custom
ers. This entails 80 miles travel ev-
cry day collecting it-and all these
things go to make the expense of dis
tribution at the door of the housewife
her daily portion of milk.
There are A quarts in 100 pounds
of milk. Thus $3.50 of cost, distrib-
uted about the city costs the consum-
er s4.40. This $3.50 does not repre-
sent profit. For not only the cost OF
the product must be paid from this,
but "service"-what the new Amer
lean is demanding in ever increasing
exactitude-must also be paid from
it. And Mr.. Wilkinson says ii can't
be done. So, until we can bring cur
selves to confine ourselves to the
product alone, and not expect so care
full a service, we must pay for 1t.
Butter fat is selling today at the
local creamery at As cents a pound.
Farmers who skim their milk sell the
cream for the butter fat at the cream
cry, and retain the skim milk for
their high priced hogs. And they,
too. cannot afford to sell for less than
what they can get in other cities or
other markets. and the price to the
local distributor goes up.

MILK GOES UP
PRODUCERS RAISE PRICE-THEY
WANT 1T FOR THEIR HOGS.

Prices still rise. Retailers say
they cannot help it. The goods cost
them more, and of course the con-
sumner must pay them more for that
reason. G. I. Wilkinson said today
that beginning with October /, milk
would sell for 10 cents a quart, in
stead of 9 cents as heretofore. An
advance in price was made to him by
producers some time ago, but he
stood the raise without assessing it
against his customers. Another raise
by the producers is announced for
the first of the month, and this one
makes it impossible for him to do
business without raising the price to
his customers.
Mr.. Wilkinson produces about a
third of the milk that he distributes,
he said this morning. The other two

SEC'Y M'ADOO COMING
WILL ADDRESS US BRIEFLY AT
STATION-FARMERS ESPE-
CIALLY INVITED.

1t is announced that w. G.. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the United States
treasury at Washington, will be In
Madison for a brief time on the after
noon of Friday, October 5, and will
address the people of Madison briefly
at the station platform. He will ar
rive oil the train from the south,
which is due in Madison at 2:15.p D. m.
The subject of Mr.. McAdoo's re-
marks will be the use of the new is
sue of bonds, the sale of which begins
on October /. These new bonds hold
a greater attraction for investors
from the fact that they pay A per cent
instead of 3h as did the Liberty
bonds.
Mr.. McAdoo will address his re-
marks especially to farmers. He re-
allies with the rest of US that unless
the farmers buy, or at least stand be-
hind the purchase of the bonds, the
subscription cannot be a success.
The amount of the issue is to be
3 5000, 600, 600. This money, as the
case with the former issue, will re-
main at home, loaned to this govern
ment and to other governments to
purchase products of America. Every
cent of this money will be expended
to pay Americans for their work and
produce. 1t will be well worth ev-
erybody's-time and effort to be pres
ent to hear this custodian of the ma
tons funds enlarge on the desirable
ity and use of these bonds and the
money they are expected to raise.
