MILK AWAY
RATHER THAN SELL

Farmers around Frederick, Nd,
who supply Washington with T5 per
cent of its milk supply are throwing
milk away and feeding it to the hogs
rather than ship it to the National
Capital at reduced wholesale rates,
according to informtion received by
DR.. William c. Fowler, District health
officer.
1t also is reported that dealers who
have been shipping unlicensed milk
into Washington are doing the same
thing because of the decrease in de-
mand for unlicensed milk occasioned
by the Health Department crusade.
THE Health Department knows
definitely that some distributors in
Washington have forced down the
producers price without lowering the
eetail prices accordingly" DR.. Fowler
told The Times today. This appears
to be an injustice both to producers
and the consumers.
IAN agreement should be reached
whereby the farmers and distributors
will make a fair profit, with a still
further reduction in the retail price" q"
There is no reason in the world
why the people OF Washington should
be obliged to pay IS, 16, and II cents
a quart for milk. while people in
Baltimore only have to pay IS and
IA cents.
Three more complaints have been
issued against a District milk dealer
for bringing unlicensed milk into
Washington. 1t was announced that
warrants will be served within two
or three days.

Did You Have $50 Eggs ,
Last Year? If Not, You
Didn't Get Your Share

Did you get your $50 eggs last
year?
Every man, woman, and child In
Washington was entitled TO that
number last year. according TO a
bulletin by the New York Depart
ment Of Foods.
This country produced 10000
OOO.OOo eggs last year, the report
says, or about $50 eggs per per-
son.
So Washington's share for ham
an A" would be y. OOO, 900, or 6,OOO,-
900 dozen.
Had Washington been forced to
lay in a years supply in Decem-
Der last, when eggs retailed at
81 cents the dozen. her stock
would have cost S4,s6O,OOO.
BY waiting until today, when
the price is only IS cents a dozen.
the same 6,ooo, 900 dozen could be
purchased for 32,70o,o0o.

POLAR BEARS HERE

The polar bears can't bear the sum-

And so they won't be brought to
Washington.
The polar bears concerned are twins.
They are now in Port Davis, Alaska.
They are owned by Raymond J. Hibbs.
About a week ago Mr. Hibbs wrote
to Arthur z. Seymour, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce. He
wanted Mr.. Seymour to sell the bears
in Washington.
Eff you will bear with me-" said Mr..
Seymour today, Il will tell you the
story. I tried to find a market for
the bears in Washington. But folks

PIGS MUST MOVE
AWAY FROM PUPILS

The little pigs in Military road are
going to move.
DR.. William c. Fowler, Health Of
ficer of the District, will serve notice
on the owner OF the animals that the
proximity of the pigs, to the Military
Road Public School creates a public
nuisance.
The neighborhood is a densely
populated one. in view Of the exist
ence OF a school house where 12O
pupils are in attendance, according
to the health officers.
Further official objection to the
continued presence of the pigs Is
based on the fact that they are 'fiy
breeders" even when raised under
the best conditions. and that they
pollute a stream running through the
pfgstys
This action OF the health office will
probably end the controversy started
by James A. Callan, who called the
attention Of the Sixteenth Street Citi-
zens' Association to the matter.
