Kenosha soldiers Read of Comrades
Fortune and Hope the Home Town
Folks VIII Not Forget Them.


Fifteen Kenosha soldiers are afraid
that because they have been separated
from their companions and placed in
Company B that they. will be forgotten
by the friends back home VINO have
been kind enough to shower presents
upon the other Kenosha Sammies but
none of which has come their way.
These boys have already won fame for
the city; they are members of the com
pany which took first honors in the re-
cent review at Camp Custer. They
have read of the sweets and smokes
which have been sent to the main di-
visions of the Kenosha patriots and
are hoping that some little of this can
be sent to them. They have had no
pay day as yet and therefore haste is
requisite to meet their present needs.
These Kenosha boys, who are worthy
of this consideration and whose address
is contained in their recent appeal for
part of the good things, is Company
B, 310th Engineers, Camp Custer,
Michigan, are as follows: Joe Brus,
Will Brus, Frank Bull, Harry Baggvt,
August Elsen, Walter Firchow, Leo
Ryan, Nicholas zehlen, Lawrence
Walker, John Kraft, Ralph johnson,
Tony Telemonte, Hans Hanson and
Kid Van Vie. A report of their APP
peal has been handed to the various
organizations and dealers who have in
charge the sending Of gifts to the sol
diers and it is hoped that the Kenosha
public will help to send back imme-
diately a message to these soldiers that
they are not forgotten by the people
whom they are defending.

fore some of the directors of the ILL
night before, and that tentative
agreement had been made with them
on the basis of 1922 for two months
period, with the understanding that a
commission would be appointed by the
u. S. food administration which would
fairly review the whole question as
applied to the Chicago supply, and il
upon such analysis it was later found
that the price fixed for milk had led to
any loss for November and December,
either on the part Of the producer or
the distributor, these losses would be
made good for these two months by an
adjustment of the price over the next
six months If any adjustment is found
to be necessary, manifestly it should be
added not to January or February
prices, when the actual cost of produc-
ton is high, but to later months. in the
spring, thus making it more likely that
a stable retail price may be maintained.
This arrangement was finally agreed
to both by the Wisconsin and Illinois
representatives of the Producers Asso-
citation and was later accepted by the
Chicago distributors, and is also ap-
proved by the committee.
Need of Economy.
"If milk is to continue to occuny
the advantageous position of being the
cheapest form of animal protein, which
1t has for long time enjoyed, then we
must address ourselves to the task of
studying more thoroughly than ever
before the possibilities of effecting
economics. These need to be studied
on the part of both the producer and
distributor. In spite of all the educa-
tional work that has been done there
are altogether too many cows producing
milk at too high a cost. Tt does not
always follow that the largest produc-
ing cows are the most profitable. Much
turns on the cost Of the feed consumed
Milk can be extensively, produced I'M
der high grade conditions, as well as
under poor conditions. But the import
ant and necessary thing is to know
where one stands. Accurate records
are as necessary to know costs as the
compass is to know direction. While
better feeding methods and better cows
would undoubtedly raise many milk
producers from the lower marginal
group into a class where profits were
increased, it is also true that the dis
tributive processes need Improvement
with the view of lowering costs Of pro
dnction.

to be made of the cost of distributing
milk in cities, but it is common know
ledge that the manner in which the
business IS conducted at present re-
suits IN large overhead expenses that
are duplicated in each bottling plant
and that the cost of delivery is greatly
increased by the multitude Of small
dealers who peddle small quantity. In
Milwaukee the aggregate mileage COW
cred by all the milk delivery wagons is
81 times the total populated street
mileage, although As per cent of the en-
the business is carried on BY one com
pany. In Worcester, Massachusetts,,
Canoe and Ferguson have just reported
that the milk wagons travel probably
10 to IA times the length of the popu-
lated streets.
New Distribution Plan.
1The idea has already been advanced
(see Governor S Tri-State Milk Com.
Report, 1917, covering Pa, Md, and
DELI that the distribution of milk
should be carried on as a public utility,
not only because of the economies in
large scale distribution, but also be-
cause competition, as in railways and
other public utilities, is ruinous if real,
and worthless as a price protector to
farmer and consumer if unreal. There
are, of course, alternative propositions
which might be considered which would
make for reductions in distributive
costs, such as municipal pasteurizing
plants, cooperative delivery such as is
now practiced in retail distributing, or
other devices.
1t is not our purpose to attepmt
to decide whether these methods are to
be recommended or not, but it is our
belief that this problem is of sufficient
moment SO that it should engage early
legislative attention and we recommend
it to your consideration. Some aspects
would require legislative sanction which
might be given in case a special session
was called this fall.
At this period the needs of the
public are paramount to any private
or corporate interests and we shall
doubtless do in the next few years to
come many things for the public good
which might not have come so quickly
under more normal conditions"

was agreed to allow the $3.42 figure for
October Gas this month had already
passed) and to consider a 1925 price
for the coming month, if definite as
surance could be secured from the Chi

go to the consumer in the shape of a

ton was communicated to the Chicago
office of the Milk Producers Association
Thursday afternoon in order that they
might have knowledge of the situation.
Efforts were also made TO reach the
office of the Distributors Association
Thursday evening, but they could not
be communicated with at that time.
The committee then decided to 90
