According to the Albuquerque
Journal the Women's club has nail
ed its colors to the mast in its fight
for a lower milk price in Albuquer-

partment was authorized to con-
tinue its Investigations and pursue
its campaign until the price of milk
has been substantially reduced.
AT the meeting the civics depart
ment presented figures designed to
refute the milkmen's argument that
the cost of feed has reached levels
which make it imperative to charge
the present price for milk. A COM
parison was made of prices during
he war and now.

during the war. To-day il is SIS a

it is $3.50 Kafiir was S425 during

seed cake was $3.50 in war times and
has dropped to $500 These are only
a few Of the figures which the Wo-
mems club is gathering TO show that
the price Of milk should be drop
ped instead of climbing.
