DRY LAW ENFORCEMENT
BIG REVENUE RAISER

According to the New York Times
of September TO- funds in excess of
two million dollars may accrue to the
government as result of police and
Prohibition agents seizures in New
York City of liquors, automobiles,
shipping and other carriers and con-
tainers. Money obtained by the gov
eminent from such seizures goes into
the general funds and is not available
for increased enforcement forces un-
til ruling has been made by the
courts.

N. Y. COUNTRY CLUB FOR DRY LAW
North Hampstead Country Club For
bids Bringing Liquor Into Building

The North Hampstead Country
Club near New York City, has decreed
that the Volstead law must be obeyed
by its members. The New York Her

Gently members received the follow
ing printed postcard:
By order of the Board Of Gov
errors members of the North
Hampstead Country Club are
hereby notified that the Volstead
Act will be enforced by the Club.
No member shall bring intoxicat-
ing liquors into the clubhouse or
on the club property.
The Herald quotes John H. Love
of Roslyn, president OF the club, as
saying: 1--WE did this because while
Prohibition is the law of our country
it is the right thing to do. The mem
bers must obey the law, resign or be
thrown out None of them has re-
signed or been expelled All are
obeying the law. Our club has a
family atmosphere and there is gen.
eral agreement that the governors
have acted wisely. For one thing,

and local Prohibition laws in spirit
and letter was urged upon the 400
druggists gathered in New Orleans

of the American Pharmaceutical AS
ISOLATION by President Charles Her
bert Packard in his annual address.
Mr.. Packard praised the effects of the
Prohibition law and recommended
adoption of resolutions opposing the
use of alcohol as a beverage. IRE

drinking We can hardly understand
how this can be.
Encourages Violations
STANDING out above everything
else is the fact that Mr.. Budnitz'
whole attitude is one that encourages
violators of the law. If the boot
logger feels that nothing can be done
to him he is liable to go the limit to-
wards breaking down the law. =.
The pity of the situation is that men
sworn to uphold the law will be con-
tinually talking about the unpopular-
ity of the law and how difficult it is
to enforce A real energetic man fit
for his job would not talk so much
about the difficulties but would go to
the work and do it.
at seems that in the opinion of the
present Prohibition department any
body who has not been known here
tofore as a wet is to be classed as a
fanatic. We have found from relia-
Bile sources that a favorite statement
of the director is that he does not
want any fanatics in his department"
The sequel to this admission of in
competency is that committee con-
sisting of representative pastors of the
denominational bodies of Baltimore
has been appointed to carry to Com
missioner Blair the sentiments of the
ministerial union asking for the re-
moval of this Prohibition director
who admits that he can not enforce
the law. The ministers deplored the
fact that a public officer is receiving
an enormous salary for performing
certain duties which he publicly pro-
claims he is not performing and can
not perform. The action of the min
isterial union was spontaneous one
without any promptings from an or
ganized force 1t undoubtedly reflects
the sentiment of the best people Of
the city of Baltimore.

Violations of the Prohibition law in

the cut to the fact that since August

MILK DELIVERED TO CITIES
Figures Announced by Department OF
Agriculture on Total Cost to
Ultimate Consumer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The total cost Of milk delivered to
the consumers door in Columbus, O..
during the first six months of 1920,
ranged from 11.3 cents up to 1873 cents
per quart, If the costs of one company
which does business In certified"
milk are omitted, according to the fig-
ures recently announced by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
cost of the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents to 10 cents
per quart. The total cost Of op-
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurizing and bottling Of the milk,
ranged from cent to la cents per
quart, and the cost of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.61 cents to SO cents per
quart.
The item Of administrative expense
varies widely, being as low as two
tenths of cent per quart for one
small company and as high as cent
per quart for large concern.
Two of the seven companies covered
We're small concerns which produced
their own milk supply. The cost of
producing the milk for these COM
panies in 1920 was SO cents per quart,
which is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
One of the items Of cost which has
attracted most attention among stu
dents of the milk business Is the so
called bottle loss" The depart
ment's study indicates that for the
companies covered in Columbus this
item ranges from one-tenth to two
tenths of cent per quart.
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting any satisfactory information
concerning the shrinkage which takes
place in the handling and delivery Of
milk, but according to the best data
available this item amounts to be-
tween 2.3 per cent and 55 per cent of
the total volume of milk.
Columbus Is city of 237,031 popula-
tion, which is reported to consume
about 27,OO0,OOO quarts of milk per an

A variety Of feeds, with fresh, clean
water, is necessary If chicks are to
grow properly. Perhaps the three
most necessary for rapid growth are
grain feed, green feed and dry mash.
Poultry specialists Of the department
say that In addition to the green feed
and dry mash, which should be pro-
vided regularly, grain mixture
should be fed night and morning, CIV
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean. but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con-
sists of three parts cracked corn, two
parts wheat, and two parts hulled
oats. When available, kafir or rolled
or hulled barley may be substituted
for hulled oats. In localities where
hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley can
not be obtained, or are too expensive, a
mixture of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats, when
two parts may be added to the corn
and wheat mixture.

dant, it should be supplied regularly.
Lawn grass beet tops, cabbage and
lettuce are excellent feeds. When
chicks are confined to brood coops
with runs, they should be placed on
ground where the grass Is green and
tender, and as fast as 1t Is eaten off,
the coop and run should be moved to
place where the grass Is plentiful.
In addition to green feeds and grain,
dry mash should be kept before grow
ing chicks at all times after they are
three or four weeks old. 1t Is best to
feed 1t In hopper inside the build

Neepin0 Account OF Feed Given to
Cows ls Necessary to Determine
Cost of Producing Milk.
fairly representative of many Middle
Western cities.
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 1880, 600
quarts of milk and cream In 1920, or
approximately 65 per cent of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged in size from a very small one
wagon concern up to the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view of the farm
er and the consumer, the important
question is, What does 1t cost to han
die the milk from the farm to the
consumer? The cost Of raw milk was
between SO per cent. and rs per cent
of the total cost Of the milk as 1t
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price Of Grade A milk In Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents to
14.5 cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk. which comes from tuberculin-
tested cows, for. 15 cents per. quart.
AT the same time the wholesale price
of milk ranged from II cents to LIN
cents.
The average number Of customers
per route In 1920 ranged from 169 to
297, and the number OF quarts per
wagon ranged from 17S to 37S, the
average being 262. 1t Is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
