JANUARY MILK
PRICE TO Be
9l-2 CENTS OF.
n. E. Milk Pr Oducer's Assn.
Agrees to Cent Reduction
Over Old Prices

Farmers who supply the Boston
market with milk will receive 1-2c
per quart delivered in Boston for Jan
uary. The same price will prevail in
most of the lesser markets Of New
England as it is their custom to fol
low the Boston price month by
month.
The Sales Committee of the New
England Milk Producers Association
as the sales agent of the farmers, met
before Christmas and after careful
consideration of the market condi-
tiondecidcd to reduce the price a
full cent. The price has been 10l3
since September /. In the past four
months the cost of production has
gone down about 12c altogether but
the steady decrease in retail glain
prices will bring down the cost OF
production somewhat in January.
Cost studies made by the Associa-
ton indicate this decrease. 1t is pro
bable also that there will be some de-
crease in the cost of labor through
the remainder of the winter.
The new price is slightly below
the January 1920 and January 1919
price but above the January 1918
price. The reduction is another indi-
cation of the swing toward normal
conditions in the dairy industry The
average return to the farmer IS 1.78c
less per quart than the delivered
price, the difference beng the aver
age cost of bringing milk to Boston.
The surplus arrangement will be in
effect in January. Under this plan
the dealers manufacture milk not
needed for whole milk consumption
into butter, cheese and other dairy
by-products and pay the farmers
whatever these products bring them.
The rating plan which was to have
gone into effect January /, has been
postponed until after the annual
meeting Of tn New England Milk
Producers Association to be held il
Boston Jan. rs and 26. Final action
on putting this plan into effect will
be taken then.

FAREWELL SERMON
REV. MIR MARTIN
SUNDAY EVENING
NJ. E. Church Crowded to
Hear the Popular St.
Johnsbury Pastor

Grace Methodist church was crowd
ed to the doors Sunday evening on
the occasion of the farewell sermon
Of the pastor, Rev. George A. Mar
tin, and allpYcscnt heard an inspir-
ational address from the eloquent
divine upon Heaven. The local pas
tors assisting in the devotional eXer-
cscs were Rev. F. B. Richards, Rev.
A. S. Woodwork and Rev. DR.. +. A.
Poole The orchestra and the chorus
choir rendered special music for the
occasion
Mr.. Martin prcfaced his address by
expressing his deepest gratitude 20
the pastors and people of the St.
Johnsbury churches, as well as to the
citizens generally, for the many hon
ors given him. He said the people
rad been so cordial that he had never
had homesick moment, and that he
and his family would never forget
the busy and happy years spent IN st.
Johnsbury.
Nh Martin announced as the sub
iect Of his address, "The Home over
There" and said that as one grew
older his thoughts were directed
more and more to the future life.
Concerning heaven he said all We're
arreed hhat it was a perfect home
no sorrow, no sin, no death. no pain.
Again, heaven is largely of our own
making. 1t is for US to enlarge our
capacity for spiritual things. A great
law undcrhes all this and that great
law is obedience to the will of God.
Our happiness and our heaven is
largely to be found in that. A home
may be either a heaven or hell.
"The kingdom Of God is within you,
said Jesus.
The speaker said he had been asked
many times if ne really believed that
we would know our lived ones over
there. He said he always told them
they would Some had asked him
what we would do in heaven and he
said his answer was that we should
work there just as we had worked
here Each would find task for
which he was suited and be given
something to do.
In conclusion Mr.. Martain said that
life in heaven would be a progress
i've life and he urped all to get the
vision Of life in the world to come
and TO accept Christ now.
