WILSON PROHIBITS
MILK PRICE RISE

Clarence R Wilson, District Food
Administrator. today is standing 1rm-
ly on his refusal to approve the 81
cent per gallon raise in the price of
milk proposed by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association.
The proposed increase provides for
a charge Of 20 ceRts per gallon whole
sale as against the price of 33h
cents in effect now. This price is TO
the retailers who are expected to
raise the price to the consumer pro-
portionately.
Mr.. Wilson was invited to attend
the annual convention OF the pro-
ducers' association yesterday, so that
he might consider the milk situation
with the producers themselves. In
stead OF agreeing with the price raise
plans OF the association Mr.. Wilson
told the milk men that he could not
give approval to the new increase in
milk prices.
'I cannot and will not sanction the
increase asked by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
in regard to the price of milk"
stated Mr.. Wilson today. zone reason
for my refusal is that / have no
Jurisdiction outside the District Of
Columbia, and have nothing to say
about the price OF milk in Virginia
and Maryland"
when the milk is brought into
Washington to be sold by retailers
the District administration can con-
troll its price," declared Mr.. Wilson.
and this fact Is what makes the
producers so anxious to secure the
cooperation OF the District Food Ad-
r1inistrator."

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-01-05

While the North Troy Palladium has
not given up the ghost it has mortgaged
its life to the Orleans County Monitor
which is printed at Barton, and the for
mer will make its appearance as usual,
according to the announcement, under
the direction of the managers of the
Barton paper. 1t is understood that the
lease is to con lue for two years, and
we presume that the Orleans paper en-
tered into the contract with view to
ultimate purchase of the North Troy
property. 1t is not reassuring sign to
see newspapers go under or become
merged with other papers, but the try
ing times of the war period during which
prices of materials in newspaper making
have risen remarkably necessitate cur
tailment if there is no chance of getting
increased revenue. As many as half a
dozen newspapers in the state have an
nounced increases in subscription prices
during the past few weeks, and others
are contemplating such move no doubt

WAR FUND ATTRITI0N.

A war campaign fund, namely, the
American Ambulance in Russia" has
been ordered by District Attorney Swami
of New York to close up its business
and get out, it having been found that
out of S250,000 collected only $4,000 ac-
tusly went for ambulance and field
hospits The district attorney calls the
drain by the name of ''attrition," or
wearing away This condition bears out
contention made by The Times that
these various war campaign funds should
undergo rigorous supervision before they
are permitted to collect funds from pa
triotie people of the United States. There
is too much of chance that the public's
n ,ney will not go for the purpose for
which it was given, although there may
be no dishonesty on the part of the cam
paighers or collectors.

A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.

The completed returns of the Red Cross
membership drive in Washington county
during Christmas week show that this
section Of the state did well, the aggre-
gate of memberships taken in that time
being considerably above the quota as
signed to the county, which quota, by
the way, was the largest of the state
S. Hollister Jackson of Barre, the drec-
tor of the campaign in the county, has
reason to be well pleased over the results
achieved in the aggregate. Washington
county had Jagged somewhat heretofore
in the membership of this organization
but it is now brought up to a level with
the leading counties of the state. If an
other campaign is found to be necessary.
Washington county will start off with
flying colors.
