Dolly did as she was told, and this
time she saw yellowish bunch of
leaves leaning over and almost fiat on
the ground, while a dull pinkish knob,
half out of the earth, looked unhealthy
and sad.
THAT one," said the dewdrop fairy,
was one planted deep enough, and 1t

for it, it starved to death. So you see

She looked curiously over the table
to see what the dewdrop fairy could
have meant, and there lying in cool,
green bed, were some green balls that
looked very much like the head of the
fairy, while from each one sprouted
bunch of feathery green leaves.
"Oh Mothermine," cried Dolly.
what are those-please tell me
quick!"
"Why, child" said Mothermine,

State Court Of Appeals
AdjOurns.

Frankfort, KY, June 23.-Before the
Court of Appeals adjourned for the
summer vacation Attorney General
Morris submitted to it several ques
tions relating to the adoption of text
books. He wanted to know what
course the Text Book Commission
should pursue il so per cent. Of the
books now in use were offered at the
old price, and whether the commission
must adopt so per centf. of all the
books now in use or divide the COM
mon schools and high schools by max
ing so per cent adoption for each.
The court did not pass on these ques-
tions before adjournment.
The court, however, on its own mo-
tiOn, struck out certain language used
in the original opinion and held that
"The State Text Book Commission can
make no selection Of subjects, for the
subjects taught in the common schools
are determined and adopted by statute
(Section "a, Acts of 1916; and and
Chapter 50, Acts of 1873, and the sub
jects taught in the high schools are de-
termined and adopted by the State
Board of Education under powers con-
ferred by Statute (Chapter "a, section
212, Acts of 1915), whereas the duties
OF the State Text Book Commission
are limited to providing on the best
terms possible, books required for
teaching and studying the subjects
prescribed by the Etatutes and the
State Board OF Education"
Copies Of the opinion Of the Court Of
Appeals in the State Text Book case

along with notice Of proposals and
bids for furnishing text books for
adoption for the use OF the high and
common schools OF the State for a,

said Dolly, who was trying to use
words correctly. How could all that
come out Of such a tiny, tiny black
thing-was that seed?"
"Of course 1t was a seed. Don't you
know its name?" answered the boy
fairy.
"No-there were SO many little
black seeds that can't remember all
their names," said Dolly.
well, you will find out when you go
in to breakfast. But wait a minute.
Look over on the right side. What do
you sea little farther down in the
ground?"
"Oh, the poor little thing" said Dol
ly.
What she saw was a thin, twisted
neck with a shriveled feather or leaf
on it, while the foot that should have
been jolly looking red ball was moth
ing but ahard brown lump.
What is the matter with that one?

planted it put it too deep into the

Dolly looked against in the dew
drop globe, and watched eagerly as
the tiny little object that the boy fairy
said was growing" moved about
cheerfully in the dark room of the
earth.
But what makes its face all red
like that?" she asked the boy fairy.

replied the fairy.

well, the little plant is getting the
same things and that is what makes it
red" said the boy fairy, smiling a
little.
How can it get fresh air way down
there?" asked Dolly.
Very kindly the Boy Dewdrop Fairy
explained to Dolly that the sweet
brown earth is full of good food.

D. C.. Dealer Declares
Farmers Boosted Milk
1914 Cents a Gallon

The milk situation in Washington
has been generally misstated to the
detriment Of the milk dealers, accord
Ing 70 an official OF one Of the largest
milk concerns in Washington.
Instead OF a l-cent increase per
gallon, he says, the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
Is asking lO.4 cents more a gallon
than the price prevailing during the
summer.
He says that this price applies only
to 3.5 per cent fat milk, the thinnest
milk which the law permits" and that
milk Of q better Qaulity has been
boosted higher by the producer.
Detailing the schedule OF milk
prices during the year, he said
Il wish TO call yCur attention to
the misgtotements frequently appear
ing in the news columns OF the Wash
inEton Times, as we'll as in the Post
Herald and Star, relating to the
prices OF milk.
Statements Misleading.
some OF the leading statements
recently published, are to the eject
that the farmer asks four cents
more: milk producers on October 1
raised the price from 90 cents to a.
cents g Eall0n-a Accent raise ETC.,
etc. All OF which Is absolutely mis-
leading and tends 20 lead the public
away from the facts, which are as
follows:
After several conferences with
Food Administrator Clarence r. Will
son Ga September 1913, the Maryland
and Virginia MIX Producers Asso-
ciation asked 40 cents per gallon for
milk containing 3,5 per cent tat. After
numerous conferences with Mr.. Will
son the local distributors OF milk, be-
ginning October i, 1913 asked IL cents
per quart Tor milk delivered % the
home.
In April. 1919, the Maryland and
Virginia MIX Producers Association,
after conferring together, asked the
following schedule Of prices for the
ave summer months;
May and JJ-fe, 80 cents per gallon
for milk containing S.5 per sent tat.
July and August, 81 cents per gal
Ion for milk containing 3.5 epr cent
fat.
September, 36 cents per gallon for
milk containing 3.5 per cent fat.
"AE you viii observe, the average
price Of milk for the hve summer
months was $50 cents per gallon.

''The local distr tutors OF milk for
the most part ir Lay and June sold

but one change in the price Of milk

tributers are now asking the consum-
ers the same increase, namely, four
cents per gallon, or one cent per
quart more than milk was sold for
one year ago. Every penny Of the
increased price paid by consumers
over the price paid one year ago Is
therefore passed on to the producer
OF milk. The milk distributor is per-
forming the same service this year
that he did last year, and for the
same compensation.

Therefore. instead Of the farmer

the price OF milk being raised from
40 to A cents a gallon, the farmer
is asking and receiving an increase
Of lO.4 cents at the present time over
the average price which he asked and
received for milk during the hve
