A Plain Statement OI Absolute FaCiS

Ever since October, 1917, the Federal Food Administration has been fixing the prices to both the producers and consumers of milk. They inform us what we shall pay the Farmers and what we shall charge the public. We are not permitted to sell for either more or less than their established price.

From New York TimesNo HOOVER EXPLAINS MILK RISE Price Had Up Bankruptcy, He Says

Before sailing for Europe yesterday, Her bert Hoover. the United States Food Admin istrator, said concerning the milk situation in New York City:
 ''The Labor Adjustment Board raised wages one cent a quart and someone had to pay, and it is always the poor consumer. You cannot have a raise in wages without affect ing prices It is hopeless to attempt it. The peak of the milk situation will be reached early in January and the prices will then be- gin to descend.
 Accountants went over all the books of the milk companies to see what they were get ting and the investigation showed that they were. losing money. The milk companies must get up to the point where they pay costs

On November 1st, 1918, the Labor Adjustment Board award ed the drivers an increase of 40 % in their wages, and also granted an increase to all other classes of labor.

or they will have to go into bankruptcy. They are making no money now on the increased prices"
 Mr. Hoover said he had been too busy to handle personally Mayor Hylan's suggestion, but that they would be considered in Wash ington.
 ''I made no suggestion to hand the mat ter over to the Mayor," he said Il said l would be glad if the local people would get to- gether on it. The distributors and dairymen have made no suggestion that we retire. We would like to select some other umpire, as we do not like the job.

slept. Mommie was about the same.
She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for Offering to help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not
seem able to do much except tell her
lies and charge her for them. No; she
did not need any money. ''Thank you
just the same, Ward" That was about
all. 1t did not sound In the least like
Billy Louise.
Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina-mine,
which was an awkward name to write
and cost him five minutes of cogitation
over the spelling. But he wanted it
down on paper where she could see it
and remember how it sounded when he
said 1t, even If it did look queer. Far
ther along he started to call her Bill
Loo, but rubbed 1t out and substituted
Lady Girl with capitals). Altogether
he did better than he knew, for he
made Billy Louise cry when she read
it, and he made her say Dear Ward"
under her breath and remember how
his hair waved over his left temple
and how he looked when that smile hid
just behind his lips and his eyes, and
he made her forget that she had lost
faith in him. She needed to cry, and
she needed to remember and also to
forget some things, for life was a hard,
dull drab in Boise, with nothing to
tighten it save a vicarious hope that
did not comfort.
Billy Louise was not stupid. She
saw through the vagueness Of the doc
tors, and, besides, she was so hungry
for her hills that she felt like beating
the doctors with her fists because they
did nothing to make her mommie well
enough to go home. She grew to hate
the nurse and her neutral cheerfulness.
That is how the fall passed for Billy
Louise and the early part of the win
ter.

oxen and are the pioneers whose lurching
wagon first fords the Wolverine stream.
Jase is ready to stop at the first green
spot, but Marthy insists on plodding along
another full days journey. That night,
through natural instinct, two of the oxen
stray into a narrow gorge and feast on
the rich grasses of the Cove, where they
are found by Marthy who recognizes the
little, hidden Eden as the place of her
dreams and the pioneers at once take pos
session. Later they are Joined by an
Wolverine and also establish a home. To
them is born a daughter. christened Billy

men approach on horses looking about for
missing stock. She rides to Wards cabin,
but he Is not there.

was prowling around to see II he could
find out anything.
Billy Louise worried a good deal aft
er that. Once she rode out early with
the intention of going to Wards claim
to warn him. But three miles of
thought changed her purpose. She
dared not leave her mother all day, for
one thing, and for another she could
scarcely warn Ward without letting
him see that she felt he needed warn
ing, and even Billy Louise shrank from
what might follow.
The stock inspector stopped again on
his way back to the railroad. Billy
Louise was SO anxious that she smoth-
cred her dislike and treated him nice
", which thawed the man to an alarm
ing amiability. She questioned him art
fully-trust Billy Louise for that-and
she decided that the stock inspector
was either a very poor detective or a
very good actor. He did not, for in
stance, mention any corral hidden in a
blind canyon away back in the hills,
and Billy Louise did not mention it,
either. He had not found any worked
brands, he said. And he did not appear
to know anything further about Ward
than the mere fact of his existence.
There's a fellow holding down a
claim away ove on Mill creek" he
had remarked. "I1l look him up when
1 come back, though Seabeck says he's
all right"
Ward is all right" asserted Billy
Louise rather unwisely.
Haven't a doubt of 1t. 1 thought
maybe he might have seen something
that might give us a clew." Perhaps
the stock inspector was wiser than she
gave him credit for being. He did not
at any rate pursue the subject any fur
Their until he found an opportunity to
talk to Mrs. Macdonald herself. Then
he artfully mentioned the fellow on
Mill creek, and because she did not
know any reason for caution he got all
the information he wanted and more,
for mommie was in one of her gar
rulous humors.
After that the days drifted quietly
for a month and grew nippier at each
end and lazier In the middle, which
meant that the short summer was over
and that fall was getting ready to
paint the wooded slopes with her gay
est colors and that one must prepare
for the siege of winter.
1t was some time in the latter part
of September that Billy Louise got up
in the middle of a frosty night because
she heard her mother moaning. That
was the beginning. She sent John off
before daylight for the doctor, and be-
fore the next night she stood with her
lips pressed together and watched the
doctor count mommie's pulse and take
mommie's temperature and drew in her
breath hardly when she saw how long
he studied the thermometer after
ward.
There was a month or so of going
to and fro on her toes and of watching
the clock with a mind to medicine CIV
ing. There were nights and nights and
nights when the cabin window winked
like a star fallen into the coulee from
dusk to red dawn. Ward rode over
once, stayed all night and went home
In a silent rage because he could not
do a thing.
There was a week of f1uctuating
hope and a time when the doctor said
mommie must go to a hospital-Boise,
since she had friends there. And there

Mluration of Birds.

Until the acquisition of Alaska by
the United States it was a wonder
where certain wild fowl went when
they migrated from temperature chimes
on the approach of summer, as well as
snowbirds and other small species of

was a terrible, nerve racking journey
to the railroad. And when Ward rode
next to the Wolverine ranch there was
no Billy Louise to taunt or tempt MIN.
John Pringle and Phoebe told him in
brief, stolid sentences of the later de-
velopments and gave him a meal and
offered him a bed, which he declined.
When the suspense became madden
ing after that he would ride down to
was m-onotonously scant. Phoebe could
read and write after a fashion, and
Billy Louise sent her a letter now and
then, saying that mommie was about
the same and that she wanted John
to do certain things about the ranch.
She could not leave mommie, she said.
Ward gathered that she would not.
Once when he was at the ranch he
wrote a letter to Billy Louise and told
her that he would come to Boise if
there was anything he could do and
begged her to let him know if she
needed any money. Beyond that he
worked and worked and tried to crowd
the lonesomeness out of his days and
the hunger from his dreams with COM
plete bone WEAKNESS. He did not ex-
pect an answer to his letter-at least
he told himself that he did not-but
one day Phoebe gave him a thin little
letter.
Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribhle a line or two while mommie
