And thought that it whispered:

Graft

There is no mistake i'm that old
nursery limerick about the COW jump
ing over the moon The bovine has
jumped. She. or her product. has been
soaring skyward in luna's direction
for sometime. Just as milk consum-
ers were getting accustomed TO 70
cent per quart milk. q jump of two
cents, they are today given a nervous
chill by a jump of two cents more.
ION .and after October first milk
will be fourteen cents per quart i'm
stead of twelve" says the announce
ment delivered by the milkman this
morning.
Pints and half-pints are in proper
tion.
Cream is priced at GO cents per
quart, and pints, half-pints and gills
in proportion.
The worst OF it is the milkmen do
not advertise They distribute in lieu
thereof printed slips with the bot
ties, that the dogs may mess up be-
fore you get them at the door. and
YOU have to guess at half the figures.
II is up to the Civic League TO find
some way to reduce the cost of milk,
and such poor milk and cream at
that To pay IA cents per quart is
beyond reason for the poor quality
of wishy-washy. watered fluid most
consumers get Can't some one be
encouraged to start goat farm and

Let Miss Cow jump over the moon
and stay up there if she wants, AT least
some people can do without milk,
