stated that he believed that milk
should not drop at this time of the
year with hay selling at from $50,
$35 and $40 ton and grain nowhere
near as cheap as 1t was when milk
went to 10 cents quart. Il UNDER
stand" said he, that some OF the
dealers have been shipping most Of
their milk eout of town and now
that the but of town markets have
closed the milk to be taken care Of
must be sold to the local trade,
therefore the drop in price.
II believe that If you cut the
price of milk today 1t will have a
tendency to drive some of the farm
ers to selling their stock, making
butter or to some other way OF SELL
ing their milk. Then when the out
of town markets do open up. and the
dealers commence to ship their milk
again, then milk will commence to
be scarce again and Che price will
go up accordingly. for nothing will
put the price up on any commodity
quicker than to have a scarcity of
that article. s-=Ez
THE man that claims that farm
er can produce milk for g or Z cents
a quart at a profit don't know what
he is talking about. I kept cows
when hay and grain were selling at
a fair price, did my own work and
kept my, own books and every quart
of. milk produced cost me seven
cents a quart before it ever saw the
can or bottle.
st am trying to give the people Of
Wateryille good milk and good ser
vice and all ask is fair profit and
/ think the other regular milkmen
feel the same. don't see, however.
how A No. milk can be sold from
a retail cart at present for less than
10 cents quart. after things that
produce milk take drop"
When asked the price of milk at
present Mr.. Flagg said that he
should sell for ID cents a quart re-
tail, and wholesale it for 10 cents a
quart by the can at his creamery on
Charles street AS he was obliged
to meet the cut in price made by
other dealers.

League Provides
for Permanent
International Court

Geneva, Dec. 1j-(By the ASSo-
ciated Press)-The assembly ac-
complished today the first important
constructive act in the work of the
League of Nations in adopting a
statute for a permanent information
court of justice. The organization
as planned still lacks the obligatory
appearance of both parties to dis
pute and provides no penalty for
Noncompliance with the decision of
the court.
The advocates of the project,
however, believe that it is the most
complete plan that could be ac-
cepted by the different governments
and are confident that the good will
of the nations will remedy it's de-
fects. The plan will go now. to the
different states for ratification.
If %, or a majority of the men,
bers of the League approve it before
the next meeting of the assembly,
the judges will be elected and the
court will come into existence in the
month of September.
The adoption of the plan came
after an oratorical duel, with Latin
America one one side and Europe on
the other, over the question as to
whether the jurisdiction of the inter-
national court ought to be obligat-
ory Raoul Fernandez Brazil, DIR.
Carlos Drueta, Colombia; Harmodio
Arieas. Senior Blanco, Uruguay and
Senior Aramayo BOLIVIA and others.
insisted upon the necessity Of obli-
gatory Jurisdiction to make the court
really effective.
Some of the speakers made refer
ence to the small majority in the COM
mittee which had forced a large
minority to bend to it's will. 1t was
also declared that the big powers had
used their greater influence to defeat
the most important features of the
measure. The greater number of the
fifteen speakers were skeptical as to
the value of optional jurisdiction as
provided for in the project.
Leon Bourgeois, France; A. J. Bal
four, England; DIR. George F. Hageup
Norway, and Giuseppe Motta, Swift
zerland, defended the plan as>the best
that could be set up for a beginning.
Mr.. Balfour also made a defence of
Europe against what he termed Il
united attack.
No country, he said, had been more
strongly in favor of arbitration than
Great Britain. He argued that it was
necessary to make a beginning. The
whole project might be rendered in
operative # that beginning were not
made with Que regard for certain real
tiles.
Though the debate could not change
the viewpoint OF, the majority, it serv-
ed to relieve the feelings of the dele
gates. which had reached high pitch
in the long discussion in committee
