MOTT A PERSONAL TRIUMPH.

Official election returns from pennsylvania
show that Harding received a plurality over Cox
Of 715,o1s, the largest margin ever given a
candidate In that state. The record vote here
tofore was that given Theodore Roosevelt over
Alton B.. Parker In 1902 when Roosevelts
plurality was 505,519.
But Pennsylvania is not the only state that
gave a record vote for the Republican ticket
this year. All over the the country there Is
the same story to tell. and the fact that the
electoral vote Of Tennessee will go to Harding
is another new record established.
But let not Senator Harding's imagination
run away with him as to his own popularity.
The great mass of voters cast their ballot for
the Republican ticket in spite of him, not be-
cause of him. To even intimate that because
Of the record vote. Senator Harding is more
popular with the people today than Theodore
Roosevelt ever was is to be ridiculous.
If any man was to top Roosevelt in popular
vote it is to be regretted that it is not a man
who measures up to Roosevelt in every sense
of the word, but to hnd such another man as
Roosevelt in the same generation is perhaps ex-
pecting too much. But of all the available can
didates for the Presidency this year Senator
Harding is about as far removed from Roose-
welt as it is possible for mar to be. Let the
president-elect not be deceived by the vote
given the Republican ticket this fall. 1t was
anything but a personal triumph.

MILK CHEApER-IN TRENTON.

The price of milk In Trenton will be reduced
two cents a quart December /. AS this is
usually the time when milk prices increase the
action of the milk dealers in Trenton is sig
nihcant.
But the price of milk in Trenton has never
been very high compared with the price the
consumers in Perth Amboy are paying. Tren-
ton today pays fifteen cents a quart for what
is known as grade B milk. After December 1
this grade will be sold for thirteen cents a
quart.
In explaining the cause of the drop it is stated
that farmers through scientific cow testing as
sociations in that district. have increased pro-
duction without much increase in cost. The de-
crease in demand with increased production is
believed to be a basis upon which farmers and
dealers can agree upon a REIMBURSEMENT. The

THEN AND NOW.

Last year about this time the country was
faced with the prospect of a rise in sugar prices
of which the sky seemed to be the limit. The
failure to purchase the Cuban crop. the failure
20 prolong the life of the Sugar Equalization
Board so far as any effective control over prices
was concerned. the fact that Europe had
bought a good part of the Cuban crop-all these
'bnlled" the sugar market and raised the price
for 1920.
But the 1921 prospect is the opposite from
that of 1920. The worlds sugar for 1920-21 is
estimated to be 1900. 900 tons greater than the
production of 1890. And while there are
still several months in which the growing
weather can affect the crop, changing the pros
pect accordingly. still as an indication of enor-
nous supplies of sugar the estimate is valuable.
Housewives in the summer of 1921 need not
worry about all the sugar for putting up the
fruit they may want at rock bottom prices. II
these estimates prove to be anywhere near ac-
curate.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-29

price of feed has also taken a drop Of late.
II all these things can work together to bring
about a reduction IN the price of milk in Tren-
Ton. not forty miles away. surely there ought to
be some such effect in Perth Amboy where the
price is still anywhere from twenty to twenty
ave cents a quart.
Milk is one Of the essentials OF life, especially
in families where there are infants. In these
days when factories are going on short time
and wages are being cut, something must be
done to bring down the price of such necessities.
10 is doubtful if there Is any Justification now
for some of the prices being charged for milk
in this city.

gan to inquire about conditions In
diaries. chances for bacteria TO pc
transmitted from the COW n milk
err into the milk, chances of infec-
ton from these bacteria. Mr.. Ber-
liner organized a milk society ]
washington and helped to get to-
gether the most important scientists
and health experts in the country
for the Washington milk conference,
in 1907. He pointed out to the peo-
pie that one baby in four died In
Washington in its first year. n that
undoubtedly impure milk a n
cause OF a large percentage OF THESE
deaths. The truth Of this claim is
conceded now. Whereas. 20 a
age, one baby in four died, today,
with a we'll guarded milk supply, the
loss has been reduced TO one baby
in twelve.
Washington's present milk trouble
is over the %tuberculin test. New York
and Pennsylvania dairy farmers Of
fer to supply the District OF Column
bia with milk at a slightly cheaper
ate than the Maryland and Virginia
FARMS, but they refuse to subject
their cows to the tuberculin test,
which is required of all diaries sup
plying the capital.
Nearby Supply L. Best.
This situation shows clearly what
Is often claimed, that 1t Is better for
q city to get its milk close at hand,
where inspection can be enforced,
than to save a few cents on milk
that cannot be easily guarded and Is
several days old before 1t can be de-
livered to the consumer. Cheap milk
from a distant dairy is a doubtful
bargain.
The tuberculin test, which health
officials are struggling to obtain or
to enforce, is, Mr.. Berliner points
out, an elementary precaution. A
herd of cows is tested and none is
infected. Six months later the test
Is again made and n or several
cows are found tubercular. II the
disease was contracted shortly after
the first test. then the milk from that
herd may have been laden with tu-
bercle bacilli for several months.
The tuberculin test is valuable to the
dairyman in that it may saw his
entire herd from infection. but 1t is
not enough OF a protection to the
public. To give the public clean
milk, Mr.. Berliner urges that every
city should insist on proper pasteur-
izaticn of its entire supply of milk
ana CTedIH.
Pasteurization destroys 80 per
cent. of the bacilli which flourish in
milk, even from well-managed dali
ries. Cleanliness in dairy farming is
growing. and the proportion of pas
teurized milk and cream is steadily
increasing. through pressure of
health officials and demands of the
public, and also because the dairy
business is gradually separating
from the general farm. Special pre-
cautions and ceremonies that often
seem so much extra trouble to the
busy farmer who sends a few gal
Ions of milk to town as a side line.
become an accepted part Of the rou-
tine Oh a large dairy farm.
With growing efficiency in the dali
ry business and the dairy farmers
organizing. the milk outlook is more
hopeful than it has been, though It
will be some time before the United
States is raising 100000 cows in
stead of its present herd OF $4,000
900. and everybody is drinking the
proper amount of milk to keep his
diet properly balanced.
