Feb. IA last. Elizabeth Baksa, the
nineteen-year-old Hungarian girl
now on trial for her life before Judge

'eriously disappeared from the Hamei

Founded on mystery, the trial OF the
girl has been prosecuted solely on
circumstanttal evidence.
Mystery came into Judge Rosalsky's

Just before the noon recess

through the crowded room an officer
tapped Attorney Mcdonald on the
shoulder and delivered the message.
Go back and get his card"
In a few moments the officer re-
turned bearing a bit of pasteboard,
which he handed TO Attorney McDon-
aid. The latter took one glimpse of
the card and whirled around in his
chair.
Let him come in and put him in
one of the rear seats" he told the Of
ficcr. Nobody saw the stranger en-
ter, because nobody expected him.
Court adjourned at L. NJ. Attorney
Mcdonald was seen to hurry out of
the room with a man. The District

ETERNAL GRATITUDE FOR THE

Thousands Of civilians lined all the
streets through which the American
troops marched. School children
tossed flowers In their pathway and
each soldier was presented with n
bouquet OF chrysanthemums.
The people OF Luxembourg made elab-
crate preparations to receive the
Americans. Almost every building fe "
the Luxemburg flag, with here and
there an American banner. and every
once in while n picture OF President
Wilson could be seen. almost always
coupled with that OF Marshal Foch.
Some forty societies had made plans
to participate in the parade n the
Americans, and late Wednesday night
a band was heard in a last rehearsal
of the music It expected TO play to-day,

WHAT THE FARMER GETS AND
PROFITS OF THE DEALER.

At the present time. for milk OF the
3 per cent. legal standard OF butter
fat, he receives 1881 per hundred
pounds. This is equivalent to S.o7
cents a quart. For milk richer in but
ter fats, he receives 4 cents per hun
drcd pounds for each additional one
tenth OF one per cent OF butter Fat.
According TO tho best information
available, milk delivered In the city
and suburbs does not exceed S.3 per
cent. fat on an average. This adds IL
cents to hundred at the farm, and
makes the farm price for the quality
delivered in the city S.35 cents per
quart.
The price at the country shipping
station is. therefore, 1884 for a forty :
quart can. We must add to this n
freight charge OF 63.5 cents and n
pasteurlzing cost OF 1875. making a
total cost OF $3.50 on platform, New
York City. The dealer sells these
cans OF milk to stores for $3.50. TO
hotels, clubs and restaurants for $40,
and to customers taking less than
full cans for $3.50. For these del'v-
cries they make from sl.5o TO $40
per can. The average haul Is less
than the producer makes from the
farm to the station. which service is
rarely referred to at all in the cost o.
production.
The dealer handling 1000 cans daily
has an income this month OF $1,000 or
better daily.
