FARMERS ARE HOLDING EGGS
State Council of Defense Concerned
Over Dairy Situation Expect
Big Raise in Milk Price.

Madison-State milk and dairy prod
uct dealers will probably appear before
the State Council of Defense to discuss
their situation with the state food ad-
ministrator. The council is much wor-
ried over the large amount of milk
which is being used for the cendensa-
ries. Milk is likely to advance in price
between three and four dollars hun
dred pounds during the next few
months and will be at such prohibitive
prices that it may be almost a table
luxury At least this is the statement
of milk buyers for cheese factories and
creameries.
The condensaries are obtaining a
monopoly in every section where they
locate and as result several creamer-
les have had to close in the central
part of the state simply because they
could not compete in the purchase of
milk. Butter men have written to the
council asking that it take cognizance
of the question and that steps be taken
to assist them in obtaining milk.
The egg situation is also in a serious
condition and it is almost impossible
to purchase eggs in several communi-
ties. The farmers themselves are put
ting the eggs in liquid glass and re-
fuse to sell fo1 fear of famine. They
hope to get from sixty cents to one
dollar dozen for the eggs which they
are preserving. There is scarcely
cold storage dealer who has at the
present time normal supply Of eggs
and large restaurants in the cities are
making contracts for their winter sup
ply. These contracts will practically
exhaust the cold storage supply and
it is therefore likely that the individual
consumer will have great difficulty in
buying even cold storage eggs during
the early winter months.

WANTS TO BE EXEMPT
FOR HE "PILoTS" PUPILS S

: De Pere-The exemption beard
of District No. / has come
across a new one" in the way
of claims.
A certain school teacher, call
ed under the draft law, asked
for exemption on the grounds of
being a pilot" knowing that
seamen are exempt under one of
the provisions of the selective
act,
He was asked several ques-
tions regarding nautical terms,
and not being able to answer
them, was asked how he could
claim exemption as a marine
pilot He replied that he looked
up the word pilot in the diction-
airy and found that it means
"one who guides others" and be-
ing a school teacher, he felt that
he should be excused from serv-
ing in the army.
Needless to say he was certi-
fed up for service.

NEW ARMY TO CAMP SEPT. 5
President Directs Married Men Who
Have Dependent Wives Be Ex-
cused From Provisions of Act.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Two impor-
tant orders in connection with the
mobilization of the National army
were issued here on Saturday
BY direction of President Wilson
practically every married man upon
whom his wife is actually dependent
or who has children will be exempted.
It is not within the spirit of the law,
the new CIDER states, that women
should go TO work or be dependent
upon the support of wealthy relatives
in order that the heads of families
may be sent to fight for the country.

FIXING OF PRICES BY FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WILL CHEAP
EN- FUEL IN STATE.
TO LIMIT AMOUNT OF PROFIT
Overhead and Haulage Expense.
transportation from Mines to
Milwaukee $3.50 Per Tor.

Madison - The fixing of anthracite
coal prices at the mines by the fed
eral government promises some relief
to the people of Wisconsin in coal
prices, according to information of the
Wisconsin Council of Defense. The
price to consumers will be little low
er. The limitation of the government
would indicate that prices will not be
higher as was feared by many.
The government figures at the
mines, long tons, are: Egg coal, 81 AS;
stove coal, $40; pea coal, 81, where
mines are owned by the railroads
which haul direct to big consumers.
To Wisconsin users of coal the fol-
lowing figures can be added per ton,
according to, data compiled by the
council of defense: From the mines to
Buffalo, $1.75; docking at Buffalo, 25
cents; boat to Milwaukee, so cents;
overhead in handling about, $1.50;
profit, so cents, or a total of $3.50.
This would allow stove coal to sell in
Milwaukee at $3.50.
The sale price may be even lower
than $3.50, for these figures are based
on the long ton of 2,240 pounds. The
short ton is 1000 pounds. If this one
tenth is deducted coal might sell in
Milwaukee at $8.40 per ton.
The state board of public affairs Is
now conducting an investigation of the
cost of handling coal in Wisconsin
Secretary A. H. Melville, of the Wis
consin Council of Defense, says that
in no case should overhead rates ex-
ceed $3.50 per ton. The preliminary
investigation made by the board of
public affairs showed an overhead OF
from $1.1O to $3.50 The question of
what is a reasonable profit on coal has
not yet been determined. In some OF
the Investigations made by the federal
and state government this profit was
found to be as high as 81 ton and
above Men connected with the Coun-
Gil of Defense, however, think that so
cents a ton or below would be rea-
sonable profit. One coal dealer in
Madison handles 10000 tons of coal
year This would give him a profit of
$$20,000 above his overhead expenses.
Some time ago Gov Philip indi-
Gated that after the federal govern
ment had fixed the price at the mines,
the state would fix the price at which
coal would be sold in Wisconsin. If
limitation is placed upon the amount
of profits that can be made by local
dealer, coal prices will be much lower.
If the coal is to be transferred into
the state, freight rates must be added
to the figures above. From the lake
ports to Madison, for example, the
freight is $125 a ton.
