MILK DEALERS ARE
 ID MEET TONIGHT

Every milk dealer in the Salt River valley has been urged to attend q meeting at the chamber of commerce rooms tonight, where an attempt will be made to organize the milk men of the valley, and the men who supply milk to the city.
 It is felt that some sort of an organ iZation should be effected among milk dealers, here, as their problems can be greatly simplified by oranized ac- tion Among matters which the or ganization could take up and adopt uniform action on are those of milk deliveries and tests.
 Milk dealers, it is thought can also work out more improvements in their businesses together, than if each works separately, and can combine to bring the general state of the business in this city to a much higher degree of efficiency in collaboration than singly.
