DAIRYMEN DISCUSS THE
 MILK SITUATION
Nearly One Hundred Gather at Odd Fellows Hall
 on Thursday

Nearly one hundred dairymen from this section met at Odd Fellows hall last Thursday afternoon to dis cuss the serious milk situation created by the announcement from New York dealers that they would refuse to buy only such milk as they could use. This meant that many farmers would be without a market for their milk and what to do with it was a question. The meeting brought to light the fact that locally there is little likelihood of any dis turbanee and should there be, the factory at Hawleyville would take care of local dairymen.
 The principal topic under discus sion was whether the dairymen would sign a contract to pool all their milk, which would in this man ner take care of those unable to dis pose of their milk through the usual channels. This contract called for many things of vital importance to every dairyman, among which was a clause to the effect that a certain per cent of each months proceeds would be withheld by the League for the purpose of handling milk through co-operatively owned factories throughout the league territory. Certificate of indebtedness would be issued for amounts withheld that would bear six per cent interest and woudl be payable in two years.
 The majority of those present seemed to favor this plan but before voting on it wanted to know the exact amount to be withheld. AS the officer of the league from New
 York was unable for some reason to
 be present this matter could not be
 settled and the meeting was ad- journed until Saturday at New Mil
 ford.
 The reason for the New York deal
 CTS refusing to accept milk at any
 price in October is said to be due to
 the rapid decline in the price ot sugar, used in the manufacture ot
 condensed and evaporated milk | With the present price of sugar il
 was said the dealers stand to lose
 about $1.50 per case of condensed
 milk. If in case of hold up the
 price by decreasing production, ol
 some one must lose and the dealer would rather have the farmer loss while the farmer feels just tie op ! posite about the matter.
 At a meeting of the directors ant
 county presidents held in New Yorl
 City on Monday, September 27th, i , was voted to sell League milk fo October for S3.65 per hundre, pounds. This is for three pei cen
 milk at the 200-210 mile zone, witt the usual butterfat differentials an, with freight differentials as changes , by the new freight rates. At a meet : ing of the directors held two week , earlier they voted for a price O $3.85. But the League was unabl l to sell the milk at this price and fo , many reasons it was thought best t change the price to $3.65. Fina
 agreement has not yet been reache y with the distributors but they hav
 intirnated that they would buy a f this price. ..-
 Manufacturers of milk product r. still refuse to buy milk at any pric after the beginning of October S !. that the above price will not includ : the milk of those members of tn organization who are now selling r the manufacturers but it will nov . all of the milk for the fluid markt f and that which is going to ice creal ' manufacturers.

LODGE MAY PRESIDE
CLEAR TO THE END
First Session of Convention
Disposed Of Its Work
Quickly.

COLISEUM, June S.-Senator
Lodge, who made the keynote speech
of the convention. spoke from his
manuscript and atthe rate he read it
was assured that the first hour of the
proceedings and probably little more
would be devoted to it. The tempo
rary organization was quickly per-
fected by reclamation.
The general understanding was
that an agreement would be made to
accept the temporary organization
and chairman as permanent.
Roars OF cheers and continued ap-
plause marked Chairman Lodges dec
laration that everyone connected with
the dynasty of Woodrow Wilson
must ee driven from power. Senator
Lodge continued that they must be
driven out. not because they, are Dem
ocrats, but because Mr.. Wilson's the
DRY of government is not American"
The defeat OF the present admins
tration," said Senator Lodge, tran.
sends every other question. The
ground thus cleared 1t becomes our
duty as American to reinstate several
fundamental principles which have
been shocked and invaded"
William Jennings Bryan from his
seat in the galleries listened intently
to Senator Lodges denunciation of
''Mr. Wilson and his associates" who
he declared had attempted to drag us
from the task of Washington, Lincoln
and Roosevelt
Mr.. Bryan dropped his chin thought
fully, but maintained a poker face
throughout. 1t took Senator Lodge
one hour and is minutes to read his
prepared address.
The convention evidently liked the
keynote and broke into another roar
OF cheers and applause, many of the
delegates standing and waving flags.
The temporary chairman then roc
ognized National Chairman Hays who
presented list of temporary officers
previously agreed upon. Secretary
Miller of the Committee read the list.
BY chorus of ayes the convention
accepted the list.
Colonel Coleman Dupont of Della
ware presented resolution proposing
to have the convention under the 1915
rules until a permanent organization
Is effected. 1t was adopted Other
outline motions on procedures neces-
sary TO organization were offered and
accepted.
Governor Morrow of Kentucky Of
Tered the resolution for committee
on permanent organization. The res
olutton for other organization COM
mittees were quickly adopted.
The first woman to speak in the
convention was Mrs. Hanley J.. Fos-
seen, of Minneapolis, one of the Min
nesota delegation. She offered a res
olution which was adopted. It
couldn't be said Mrs. Fosseen was the
first woman to be heard in a national
convention because as matter of fact
she wasn't heard but the chairman In
formed the convention OF the con.
tents of her resolution.
After the preliminary the conyen.
ton adjourned until II tomorrow
morning. A song leader was not
ready to quit and two verses Of Amer.
lea were sung. After that the crowd
piled out and the committee went to
work to prepare for tomorrow's SEES
sion.

SMALL AUDIENCE

Those Who Did Hear Her
Were Given Real
Treat.

Possibly 1t is necessary for a sing.
er to warm up" the voice Just as
q baseball pitcher does With his arm.
At any rate II was not until Frances
Ingram had sung several OF her first
group or songs last night at the Nor.
NAL school auditorium that the singer
and her audience were en- rapport.
From that time on, however, every
number was appreciated 10 the fullest
extent, so much go that Il was neceS.
sary to stretch program OF eighteen
numbers 10 twenty-five 10 satisfy the
audience, the last number, hymn by
John Wesley, being sung after the
regular program was finished and the
audience refused TO leave.
A pleasing change in the program
was the Substitution OF an aria from
Carmen for the number from Samson
and Delilah, the singer, with her mag.
nificent voice and vivactous manner
visualizing the fiery little Gitano to
the life. Annie Laurie, The Silver
Ring, by Chaminade and On the
Shore, by Neidinger were the other
extra numbers.
No doubt a much larger audience
would have been present had there
not been several bitches heretofore in
securing this very fine singer, but
those who were SO fortunate as to be
present thanked their lucky stars for
the privilege.

HIRAM JOHNSON
SPEAKS HIS PIECE
Defines His Position on Two
Big Issues Before the
Nation

CHICAGO, June S.-Senator Hiram
Johnson put forward last night the
argument in favor OF his own nominal
ton for President by the Republican
National convention.
Before a great mass meeting, at
tended by many delegates, he pleaded
Tor what he called "a head-up, eyes
open" party stand, from attempts to
hide in. the shadow of privilege"
Defining two big issues, Senator
Johnson declared the first was the
high cost OF living, to be COPIED with
not wholly by new law, but by ur.
shrinking administration Of the pres
ent law"
The second issue, international, he
covered fatty with the declaration: ~
am opposed to the present covenant or
his opposition to the league plan OF
the Versailles treaty.
Against 1t the Republican party
must take it's stand" he declared.
There can be no hiding or skulk1ng
upon an issue Of this magnitude In
this campaign men must march under
the polygot banner Of European ilu-
perialtsm and internationalism, or I'M
der the old Stars and Stripes
Senator johnson expressed his faith
in American business men in general
and the standards of American bust
ness integrity and patriotism in deal
ing with the high cost OF living, but
declared that there was Every small
group" in the ranks of industrial and
commercial life whose practices were
nefarious. These he accused OF
breeding radicalism A new epithet,
that of radical he asserted, had been
flung at him by the kept press." AS
serting his belief in stringent appli-
cation Of law to those who advocate
the overthrow by force and violence or
the American government" he indi-
Gated that he welcomed attacks from
sources he described.
''If it be radical to demand 100 per
cent. service from public officials anu
to insist upon justice and decency and
righteous in government; IL it be radi-
cal TO preach that humanity have
equal consideration with property"
he said, ''and, finally. IL it be radical
to be just American, accept the chal-
lenge"
