H PRICE OF MILK.

MILK is an il dispensible commodity
for the nOurishmert OF the young or the
up-building of the weak, 1t is chiefly a
local product, and is ever in demand by
every section and class as an article of
diet. For all time it was sold at g rate
that rendered it easily ObtainabIe by the
poorest of mothers, but, with the out
break Of the wal and ~ keeping With the
fashionable advance made on all thing
by reason Of the shortage OF IaDour ana
the necessary certalIment OIL supplies,
milk went up, The standard price II
pre-War days was one shlllng per gallOn
or three cents per pint, and TINS IlguF3
when compared vith It's imported rival
condensed milk-Was high, but the 10
cal production always held the advantage
Of preference. During IKE Waglng 0tthe
war ana since the cessation OF h0stIlltles
the price Of this commodity has cOnsId-
erabIy advanced by something like TWO
hundred and fifty per cent, and now the
needy are oppressed With a further ad-
vance on the local production to the eX-
tent OF eighty cents a Ga lion or ten cents
per pint. Stock food and attention we
admit. are Just now very expensive, but
not to the extent that milk has advanced
locally: and when the convictions secured
by the Police for milk adulterations
are taken init account, one can fairly
easily judge the nourishing quality ii
the stuff the public are being called upon
to pay for so heavily Milk, then, being

FARMERS STRIKE" is EXEMPT.
Department of Justice Has Not Con-
sidered Withholding of Crops.

Slueftu WfhHOiuiHB OF crops.
Washington, Nov. Because
farmers cooperative organizations
are exempt from application Of anti
trust laws, the department of justice
has given no consideration tosthe cam
paign for the Withholding of crops
from the markets until prices advance,
it was said tonight by Frank K Neb-
Ecker. special assistant to the attorney
general, in charge of antitrust prose-
cutions
MIR. Nebeker's explanation of the
departments attitude followed the re-
cent statement of Charles S. Barrett.
president Of the Naional Farmers
Union, that he understood that federal
agents were attempting to obtain evil
dence for prosecutions in Kansas, Iowa
and other middle western states.
The Clayton antitrust act, Mr.. Neb-
eker said, expressly provides that ag-
ricultural organizations not having
capital stock or conducted for profit
cannot be construed as conspiracies in
restraint of trade. Withholding of
crops from market for personal profit,
Mr. Nebeler asserted. probably would
not be held as organization profits.

All prize winners in athletics were
from the Hatfield school. Hatfield
scored IS points in athletics, which
gives them the prize of $50.
Next was the big basketball game,
which was played between the Gran
mis- and Hatfield girls. 1t was inter-
esting and attracted the attention of
al present. When the game ended
the score stood 20 to 10 in favor of
the Hatfield girls. This finished the
program and many of the teachers
and pupils were then busy for a few
minutes taking down their exhibits
from where they We're displayed.
Then all went to the depot to await
the trains to take them back 20 their
various schools and homes.
The depot and platform was crowd
ed to it's full capacity standing
room, then the various schools thru
out the county showed their interest
in a vocal representation, each school
recalling every yell they could to out
wit the other. And Hatfield, with a
lively bunch of wide awakes stood
ready to respond to each yell as fast
as they were yelled. This was not
siienced until No 3 passenger train
pulled in, and it's passengers loaded
on and then as long as we could hear
as the train pulled out, was some
school yelling back to the standing
crowd
Just a word to the people of Polk
county. the writer has reasons to be-
lieve that there are some schools in
the county that are not taking the in
terest in the school work that they
should What is the reason?
We have been inquiring into this
matter and we find in some districts
with some of our used-to-be most pro-
gressive men, they have lost school
interest This interest went from us in
the last year; could it be because our
county was torn into frazzles in the
recent political campaign? | am not
saying that it is so, but if it is, let
me say for Gods sake wake up and
help the people that are toiling day
and night with untiring hands to
make Polk county the best place on
earth to live, Surely there is not
man in Polk county but what loves
good schools and loves his children,
so for The sake Of our children, we
must, il there be SUCH lay aside
things that might hurt our schools.
and rally to our school interest and
use every effort possible to make our
schools the very best ia the state
