TO FORCE DOWN
PRICE OF MILK
Windham County Cooper
ative Milk Producers,
Inc, to Retail
TAKING OVER ROUTES
OF THREE DEALERS
Association Has Surplus Of
About 1000 Quarts
a Day

Brattleboro, Aug 24.-Because three
milk peddlers who are buying their
milk from the plant of the Windham
County Cooperative Milk Producers,
Inc, at Brattleboro have failed to re-
duee the retail price of milk in accord
ance with understanding under which
the corporation agreed to sell them milk
the association has just made arrange
ments whereby it will take over all
three routes and deliver milk to the
customers at reduction of two or
three cents quart, ii was announced
today by manager w. P. Frost.
The association is determined to
make a market for a larger volume of
milk by increasing the consumption,
aand it feels that this cannot be done at
the present price charged to the
consumers. The routes to be taken
over are those of p H. Winchester, r.
L. Brooks and H. I. Moore, who buy ex-
from the milk plant. 1t is ex-
pected that the action of the associa.
ton will force reduction in price by
other dealers
Although the association is doing
large business it has surplus of
about 1000 quarts day, which is sepa-
rated and the cream is sold. 1t would
be more profitable to sell the whole
milk as the income from the skim milk
is negligible.

RELICS IN FINE CONDITION.
Gold and Silver Ornaments Found in
Ancient Tombs.

The Hermitage is a famous building
in Petrograd, in which the relics oil
Peter the Great arc preserved In il
there is also kept what is called tbs
Kerteh collection.
Six centuries before Christ, the
Greeks founded colonies on the shores
of the Black sea. They united with
the native Scythians, and the Scythi-
an rulers were generally placed over
the colonies.
Outside the gates Of the modern
town of Kertch there are rows Of
tombs and mounds In the year 1880
the Russian government began to care
fully examine these tombs, the objects
found there-remains of the ancient
commissioning taken to Petrograd and
placed in the Hermitage.
In 1881, mound was opened called
by the Tartars, "The Hillock of the
Brave" and in road of hewn stone
the remains of Scythian king were
found, together with those of his wife,
his war horse and servant. His gold
en- crown and ornaments were there
Even the sarcophagls of carved cv-
press wood, in which his body was laid,
remains undecayed, and the carving
md gilt figures upon it are still sharp
md beautiful.
1t seems incredible that a substance
10 frail should have endured for more
han 1000 years uniniured.
The gold bars of his shield, the sill
Ter slaves of his heralds, the collar of
