the little and the big 'un arc boil
Minnie. The big 'un is the aunt Of thu
little 'un. The other died fourteen
months ago. Her name was Minnie
too. We raised her baby on bottle

Mr.. Fellowes sighed and looked abou
for vindication. He saw Congo Pete

Sally the chimpanzee. Congo's lips
protrude quite as much as Sally's, anc

socially prominent.
Congo, talk to Sally" requested Mr.
"Shhhhh," hushed Congo and turned
his back.
That sort of left Mr.. Fellowes fiat,
especially as there were newspaper men
present, but he rose to the emergency
as the saying is, and pointed to a
bumpy looking kangaroo.
"She has a baby kangaroo in her
pouch" said he. "Born there, nurse 3

out so long as there is a possibility of

"The baby kangaroo is the show

Now, the giraffe, when bad weather is

"Yondcr is the baby camel, born a

been run over by steam roller while

City on Verge
OF Milk Strike,
Says Copeland
Conference Board Is Dead
locked OH April Price and
He Fears Supply Will Be
Cut Off, as i'm JAM, 1919
Drastic Action Promised
Health Department Head
Declares He Will Protect
Children and Invalids

New York is threatened with COM
pletc cutting off Of it's milk supply,
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Commits
sioner, announced yesterday. He said
his fear was based on the failure Of
the Milk Conference Board to fix the
price of milk for the period beginning
April l.
The board has been in conference in
the Office of the Dairymen's League,
week and is said to have become dead
locked over the price. which the
1900 farmers are to receive from
the distributors and manufacturers of
milk products. Upon this price is
based the retail price to New York
consumers.
DR.. Copeland said that the inability
OF the farmers and distributors TO
agree forecasts a return of the con-
dlton which prevailed for twenty one
days in January, 1919, when similar
league to permit its members to sell
for shipment to New York.
DIR. Copeland Uneasy"
At the office of the Dairymen's
League yesterday it was said that no
to the outcome Of the boards meeting.
Il am extremely uneasy over the sit
uation.' said DR.. Copeland ct ap-
pears to me that we are drifting into
the same condition that brought on
the so-called milk strike of 1919. At
that time the farmers poured their
milk on the ground rather than ship
it into New York. The result was felt
in great increase in the death rate,
especially among babies.
"Of course the Health Department
fc cln o,.Ji
and if another strike comes everything
Will be done for the protection of
babies and invalids in hospitals. I do
not say that a cutting off of our milk
supply is actually in sight, but we seem
to be on the verge Of it..
The trouble lies with the fact that
the Dalrymen's League is run by men
who are not farmers. If we could deal
directly with the farmers instead of
president; John d. Miller. it's vice
president, and Albert Manning, its Sec
retary, we could get quicker results"
representatives of seven milk dis
tributing companies conferred with DR..
Copeland yesterday on plans to in
crease the cty's milk supply. DR..
Copeland told them that inasmuch as
the farmers were reported to have a
surplus of milk the city easily could
consume IUU,UOO more quarts day.
Later he said the meeting had to be
adjourned until April / because it was
impossible to discuss prices on ac-
count of the failure of the Milk Con-
ference Board to act.
Cooperation Promised
The milk companies expressed their
Willingness to cooperate with the Health
Department in urging people to drink
more milk. provided it can be brought
into the city Those at the meeting
were D. S. Horton and b. s. Halsey, of
the Sheffield Farms Company; Charles
Neidner, Empire State Dairy Company;
William Burgess, Standard Dairy Com
pany; William NJ. Evans, Evans Milk
Company; l.. l.. Campbell, Glover Farms
Company; William Levy, Levy Dairy
Company, and L. NJ Watson, High
Ground Dairy Company.
schemes to have the city go into the
milk business were declared imprac-
ticahie by Dr. Copeland.
