extensive milk interests in ana about
the National metropolis. Mr. rala.
Wen looks and acts a real man az hi,
ahaiFs. but ne very gractonsly . ,va
the News representative, \ few min.
ntes in spite of the fact he is at The
beaeh for rest and pleasure ana moi
10 talk business. He saws he thinks
the readmstment of all matters that
was bound 10 follow the great war
ard the unnatural conditions OF those
unusual times, Will come in ne time
when general prosperity Il sure IL
reign Throughout; the country. When
asked about the labor situation ne
said: Like everything else entering
into production and the overhead ex
pense of every business. il will also
{ have TO adjust itself. When tha
prices Of an other commodities gre
reduced the salaries OF officials and
iworkingmen VIII also have to come
I in for their share OF change No ele
i'nent will escape the final ironing out
of affairs.
/ When asked what become of the
/ dinerenee in the price received by The
/ farmer for milk now between 3 and 4
cents quart, and the retail price in
New YORK City now l6 cents a quart.
Mr.. Caldwell said:
I There are many items that eat Il
up. In The first place. We pay our
drivers *35 per week esFh and per
cent OF their collections. Then our
I bottles cost Us about cents each for
quarts and other sizes in propore.or
iand or s days is the average life Of
them. Some are broken some lost.
land some stolen; al any rate they
get away from the distributors and
have 10 be replaced This is big
item Then the freight IS tire
mendous expense; then the maintain
/ ing of big receiving stations, creamer-
/ les. warehouses and distributing
points. where it is bottled ana gotten
READY for the wagons. with ali The
/ employes necessary TO conduct them
/ all cost immense Sums. Then our
wagons. horses. automobiles and
tother means OF deliveries and trans
tportation are important items Of ex-
I peuse. If the farmers VINO produce
the milk should undertake ali this. as
they sometimes threaten when The
price OF milk drops. they would soon
find out thar the big profits they fig
fure out for the distributors would
tdwindle considerably and lhey would
also soon find that it takes some eX-
perience and much careful business
ttact 10 make both ends meet. This
lis. Of course true OF every big bust
mess. but it il so common Tor people
Ito think others are making all Of the
leasv money and they are getting only
THE dregs. Il always has seemed L"
me that the best 1nan for amy work Is
itbe one adopted 10 1t by training. eX.
iperience and natural AFFINITY along
that particular endeavof.
When asked about IN" eoSt OF the
nroauetion OF milk ny the farmer Mr.
caldwell said.
"This depends almost entirely upon

farmers can produce milk for cents
Nor ouari when il viii cost then

In i the same with taat as ia o'he'
lines nj oroducuon-this is why there
arc ALWAYS some men who are more
successful taan others in the same
class of effort. For this reason
.i,rsa ner cent OF the success ot anS
business depends upon the h'A con
Quoting it.
