JOHNNY DUNDEE

'STEEN!TH time
Pair Tangle Tonight for nth Tire,

BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

New York, FEB. z5.-There was a
loud demand today that Johnny
Dundee and Willie Jackson reach
decision in their bout tonight.
Teaming it is a near approach
to hippodroming. This pair of first
pushers is meeting for the 18th
time, approaching the records of
Britton and Lewis, Langford and
McVey, and Bright and Star, the
well known oxen.
Action for Action.
Willie and the jumping Italian
always provide a lot Of action and
they always get lot of action
at the box Office.
The question with the fans is
whether all that feverish activity
is not wasted.
The thrill of sport isn't so much
in the action as in determining
which of a pair is the better man.
Fer Last Time?
Willie and Johnny probably are
meeting for the last time. In the
first place Willie has shown he is
gaining on the veteran and in the
second place the fans will decide

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 lib 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 l cent to Ia cents per
quart, and the cost of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.61 cents to $50 cents per
quart. H.
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
were 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 ha.
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 % per cent and 5.5 per cent of
the total volume of milk.
Columbus is city of 237 ,031 popula-
ton, which is reported to consume
about 27,0O0,OO0 quarts of milk per an
mum. This milk is supplied by over
1000 producers, from Is different coun-
ties, and Is transported to Columbus
from territory having a radius of
