F. B. Willis, president of the Milk
Producers Association led the fight
against greater reduction than two
cents. His argument was that grain
crops were put in last spring when
prices were highest on seeds, fertiliz-
ers and labor Wheat and corn have
already broken in prices, but it was
declared that milk should not come
down at this time.
The arguments of the milk dealers
and producers was that the sensible
policy was to follow the break in cur
rent prices as it was demanded by the
public. A tentative plan was to re-
duce milk one cent a quart on De-
cember 1 and to follow it with a SINH
lar reduction on January 1. Mr. Nc
Claim would not agree to that and
said the entire reduction must come
now. That was agreed to without
much dissension.
"The farmers are willing to take
their losses in the face of a deciding
demand and in the interest of an early
readjustment back to normal" said
Mr.. Willis. milk is an essential
commodity and we are going to place
it in the forefront in the voluntary
cut in prices"
DR.. King said the new price would
make milk in the market here approx
mately five cents cheaper than it is in
other cities. 1t is said that in New
York City and Cleveland the price
was eighteen cents, Boston, eighteen
and one-fourth cents, Pittsburgh, Bal
timore and st. Louis sixteen cents.
Predicts Big Drop in Milk
Omaha-Prediction of what he re-
ferred to as serious drop in milk and
butter prices was made in an address
at the Chamber of Commerce last
week before Omaha business men by
George M. Wilbur, of Maryville, o.,
head of the executive committee Of
the Ohio Wool Growers Association.
"There is facing us a serious drop
in milk and butter prices because
Danuish butter will soon be coming
in at the rate of 100000 pounds a
month";" Mr.. Wilbur said. At the same
time," he added, more than $50,000,-
worth of American evaporated milk is
piled up in New York. 1t cannot be
sold for lack of export demand and
condensing factories are closing all
over the country"

TWO-Cent Cut is
Ordered for Dec. [.

The retail price of "B" grade milk
will fall two cents a quart in Philadel-
phia on December 1. A decision to
that effect was reached last week at
a six-hour conference OF milk pro-
ducers, dealers and manufacturers of
dairy products.
Participating also in the deliberation
were DIR. Charles L. King, milk arbi-
traitor of Pennsylvania, and Frank B.
McClain, State fair price commits
sioner.
The drop represents the exact differ
ence in price which the dealers will
pay to the farmers. The dealers agreed
to let the public benefit by the full
amount. Other areas affected by the
reduction in price embrace virtually
all of Delaware and New Jersey, and
in Pennsylvania the charge will extend
to Easton, Reading, New York, IIar-
risburg and Altoona.
It was said that in other towns and
cities the price would not necessarily
be the same as it is to be here as
freight rates would enter into the sell
ing price. But the farmers price f. o..
b. to these places will be the same as
it is here.
The decision was reached at closed
session, but it is understood the reduc-
ton agreed to was in the nature OF
compromise, as many of the dealers
urged a much more drastic reduction.
The conference took place in the Off
ces of the Interstate Milk Producers,
Association, in the Heed Building.

Violent Violinists
BY GENE FOWLER

A White House symphony lasts four
years of actual playing, with an encore
of four more for good, bad and indiffer-
ent behavior. The rest of the time to
come is spent by the audience in pay
ing the fiddler.
Two aspiring musicians are bidding
for the job of concert-meister. "Ysaye"
Harding and "Kubelik" Cox are the
entries, reading from left to right and
from Ohio to Washington.
Keeping in mind the theory that
Zimbalist Nero fiddled while Rome
burned, government architects are put
ting plenty of asbestos in the new
buildings. Nero used bow on his
"Strad" The modern political virtu-
osos have bows and arrows, which
makes it game of Indian billiards,
Piute tennis and Apache bridge whist
combined.
The Presidential Concerto is gar
nished with two MISUNDERSTANDING
in and going out. The last admins
tration verified the rumor that music
has charms Some Of the orchestra
went to the Peace Table, had it's watch
stolen and came home with the charm.
1t was sour harmony with sweet
voices.
Fro mthe front porch comes the
twang of "Ysaye" Harding's chin uku-
lele. But it is more interesting to
catch the uoise that rises from the
Easements of the nation, where the
voters are drifting into blissful coma
while warming up for the shock that
travels with the White House over
ture. .
Orpheus made the cast iron tears
trickle down Pluto's cheek. 1t was the
only metal that ever escaped the steel
trust. But Orpheus gummed the
mechanism when he looked backward.
This proved he was Democratic, with
reservations. If he had looked back
ward and then gone backward with
open strides, openly arrived at, it
wouldn't have been necessary for
"Kubelik" Cox to bring more music to
the scene at this late date.
Immediately after he heard that
"Kubelik" Cox expects to take Cali
fornia' by playing his violin to the pet
seals of the Pacific Ocean, the ex-
Kaiser made his will 1t was the final
straw that broke the camePs thirst.
1t reminded the former Emperor-of-all-
the-Bock-Beers of the crack he croaked
about taking Paris. He will take BIZ
chloride with an article x chaser.
Fischer, the prophet of the Wall
Street tremor, got his tips out of the
air. "Kubelik" Cox is grabbing his out
of the hollow candle of a League of
Nations chandelier, where they pump
nothing but laughing gas distilled from
Brazil nuts 1t all contributes to the
general song and dance, but the dance
is named after st. Vitus.
"Ysaye'' Harding claims the change
from playing horn in the village band
to rubbing the G string on Presiden-
tial violin will be like growing beard
after you get used to eating breakfast

Europe UnderbidS
U. S. in Argentina

I'm September" says report to the
Corn Exchange National Bank from
its Argentine representative, "the
American dollar was at premium of
% IL per cent and practically brought
American business to standstill. Va
rious firms were badly hit as large
quantities of goods are arriving from
the States, long past due and the mer-
chants are raising questions as to re-
ceiving them on account of the late de-
liveries. The fact is that they have
overbought and the American dollar is
too high to make the purchases profit
able. They also can buy the same
goods in Europe at a lower price.
"Europe's competition in hardware
specialties, wool and cotton goods,
iron, is very strong at this moment
and their prices are under those
quoted from the States, even if the
American exchange was normal. With
regard to the steel industry, plain gal
vanized wire from Germany is being
quoted at $146 Argentine gold per ton,
steel bars from Belgium and Germany
at $95 Argentine gold per ton, steel
plates, beams and shapes at 1872 Ar
gentine gold per ton. The above
prices are all C. i. f.. Buenos Aires
and per ton of 2240 pounds. American
mills are not quoting prices which will
in any way compare with these and the
orders are going to Europe.
"The Obras Sanitarias de la Nacion
have just placed an order for 1888
tons Of cast iron pipe with a French
firm at Pont-a-Mousson in France, in
volving an outlay of 2O,63S,722 francs.
This pipe was bought at 1850 francs
per ton of 1915 kilos, c. i. f. Buenos
Aires, which is equal to 1874 Argentine
gold. The firms in the United States
were exceedingly out of line in their
quotations of approximately $110
American gold per ton, which at to-
days rate Of exchange equals approx
mately $3.50 Argentine gold"
A letter from prominent United
States merchant in Valparaiso, Chile
dated October 16, says that there have
been number of local failures there
recently owing to speculation in such
lines as sugar, rice, coffee and local
agricultural products. Encouraging
features of the Gillian situation are
the election of President Allessandri,
good agricultural prospects and good
nitrate shipments. Nitrate has been
sold recently at the highest prices on
record. Current shipments are larger
than current production.
