Toledo, Wash.-Emmet Koontz, who
lives on Salmon creek road, killed a
chicken hawk recently measuring four
feet two inches from tip to tip. The
hawk has been an annoyance for the
last two or three years and when killed
had mouth full of Chinese pheasant

upon poultry yards.

HIGHER WHOLESALE

Producers to Charge 6l-2 Cents
More Per Gallon Unless Stopped.

In order to offset the increased cost
OF production the Maryland and vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association be-
lieves that an increase in the price
OF milk of 615 cents per gallon is
necessary.
This is the principal reason set
forth in a statement which the asso-
citation has filed with the local Food
Administration. The association con-
templates putting this lncrease into
effect October !, unless, some objec-
ton is made by the Food Admin

According to the association the in
