FRESHEST "DUDS"
I'M SMALL TOWNS

Says Walter B. Brown, editor OF
the New York Commercial IN re-
cent special dispatch:
One of the curious effects OF pres
eut conditions is that men living in
the smaller cities and towns Will
have the choice of the best offerings
in mems wear this season. 1t is not
because of any particular preference
on the part of the manufacturers, but
wholly matter of distribution.
So-called Country merchants, as
distinguished from the dealers ot the
larger cities, have not carried as
large stocks proportionately, with the
result that they have not been able
to keep pace with the heavy demand
for high-grade goods. This is partic-
ularly true in industrial centers,
where, because of the high wages, the
demand Is for the best there is in all
classes of mems wear. The result is
that shelves have been cleared very
quickly, and what is more, the stock
available for replenishment will not
be sufficient to meet the demands for
spring goods, unless there should be
a sudden revolt against the high
prices prevailing.
The dealers of the larger cities are
better stocked as far as quantity is
concerned, but they in turn will not
be able to replenish to their full ex-
tent with the result that they will
have to fall back upon accumulated
supplies that have been slow sellers.
Wholesalers who are naturally well
acquainted with the situation say
that country retailers have been we'll
cleaned out Of old stock, and their
shelves are filled with new spring
goods. The mill output OF light
weights this season has not been suf

limit. Reports from markets west OF
the Mississippi indicate that iobbers
expect only big business and there
has not been the uncertainty in the
West that has manifested itself at
times in the East.

ASK 40 CENTS
GALLON MILK
Producers Association Says
Famine Ponds Here Unless
CreamerieS Agree.
PRICE is NOW 20 CENTS

Representatives OF the Peerless
Glover Leaf and Morgan creameries
have been asked to meet with officials
OF the East Tennessee Cooperative
MIX Producers association in the Of
fice OF Commissioner Fred B. Frazier
Friday morning at 10 o'clock in an
effort to agree upon price for milk
in contracts for the coming twelve
months.
The producers are demanding that
the price be fixed at 40 cents instead
Of 80 cents a gallon, which Is the ex-
listing rate, but the three creameries
at present refuse to stand the in
crease.
The producers assert that II they
are not allowed 40 cents per gallon no
new contracts will be signed, as a
result of which Chattanooga will face
an acute milk famine, as so per cent.
Of the city's supply comes from the
producers who are members of the
East Tennessee association,
j. A. Schulgen, secretary Of the
East Tennessee Cooperative Milk
Producers association, spoke before
the city commission Wednesday on
the seriousness of the milk situation
In Chattanooga. He directed the
members attention to the proposed
increase in price asked by the dairy
men and stated contracts for milk
during the coming year were being
held up on this account. The secre-
tary stated that unless the local
creameries did sign the dairymen
would ship their milk elsewhere, and
a milk shortage in Chattanooga would
inevitably follow.
Mr.. Schulgen. in the course OF his
remarks before the commission, said
that raw milk sold to the local cream
cries last year for $4,000 had been
resold for SbO3 600

MIZPAH TEMPLE WILL
OBSERVE ROSH HASHANAH
Rabbi Abraham Holtzberg to
Speak on The Reawakning,'
as Opening Feature.

On next Monday the festival OF the
New Year (Rosh Hanah) will be
observed by the Jews Of the entire
world. Like all the other Jewish holy
days. the festival commences at sunset
on the preceding day. Orthodox Jews
observe two days, whereas Reform Jews
keep only one day.
The festival of the New Year is one
OF the most important in the whole
Jewish calendar. 1t is likewise the be
ginning Of the Jewish year and one OF
It's principal features Is the blowing OF
the Shofar or rams horn.
Apart from its joyful and festive ma
ture Rosh Hanah is rich in moral
import and Significance. The fact that
1t is the beginning OF the New Year
lends II special sacredness. 1t Is the
time Of higher resolves, the turning
point of the year. It is the day which
brings home to the Jew with great force
the lesson that the time Is short and
the work is great. and that, as each
year rolls quickly by, the task must be
accomplished within shorter period.
The festival Is a gentle reminder or the
brevity of human existence, but 1t opti-
mistically stresses the doctrine that
man, far from being plaything In the
hands of fate, can realize his lies work
II he but takes advantage OF the
swiftly fieeting moments.
AT Mizpah Temple the New Year VIII
be ushered in with appropriate services
on Sunday evening at 745. The subject
OF Rabbi Holtzbergs address will be "A
Modern New Years Dream" On Mon
day morning Their will be divine services
at 10 o'clock. Rabbi Holtzberg will speak
at the morning services on 1.-THE Re-
awakening" Ishmael Payne, choir
master, and Prof. l.. Smith have ar
ranged a special and attractive musical
program for the occasion.
What promises to be a new innova-
ton in Chattanooga is the special New
Years services for children on Monday
afternoon at 2:30 in the vestry rooms
of Mizpah Temple. Seats at all services
are free and the entire public is corr
daily invited to attend
