Everyone speaks well of Chamber

used it. Mrs. George Lewis, Pitts
field, N. Y, has this to say regarding
it: "Last winter my little boy, five
years old, was sick with cold for two
or three weeks. I doctored him and
used various cough medicines, but
nothing did him much good until I
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He then improved rapidly
and in few days was over his cold"

NEW YORK. April 13.-The main
reason for strength in the Cincinnati
Reds this year is not that the Reds are
stronger than last year. but that the

That this is true of the New York
Giants cannot be doubted. The loss Of
Charley Herzog and the appointment Of
Larry DOYLE as his successor. both as
field leader and as the second baseman
Of the club amounts 10 a loss Of
strength. Where thu club gains Ia added
batting power It loses aggressiveness
and base running. It gains nothing in
baseball brains. for there are no smart
er baseball players than Herzog, with
all his lack Of pleasing personality.
The Giants also have gone back IN
pitching effectiveness. Where they

DIFFERENCE IN MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Has Been
Paid for Without Regard to Quail
ity-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost Of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost of dis
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras-
mussen, head Of the dairy husbandry
department ut the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use Of collective bargaining In
the sale Of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fere6.
"The fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, ''has made 1T
difficult to get-.a rise In price of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as class
is slow to change and slow to organ
lie. 1t has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
'The fact that milk producers in
the eastern part of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry fro.n financial ruin is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis In the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

Gresham gave a quick start at these
