MILK PRICES.

OF course no one wishes to the poor mkman perish
or pine away under the sad influence Of losing business
but this matter Of buying milk and other foodsu is
limit game to the man of limited earnings Recalling the
good old days Of the town when those who didn't have
their own loving milk supply could buy what they
needed at five cents per Methodist quart, with jug OF
buttesmik thrown n fifteen cents looms up as grand and
lofty price for milk Admitting at the time that con-
dons change and the general price trend is onward and
