Prices Boosted.

South Bend and Mishawaka milk
dealers Wednesday night announced
"A two cent increase per quart in the
price Of milk and a corresponding
raise in cream prices, each 10 be-
come effective in the two cities on
July ]. According TO O. j. Wittner,
pres't OF the south Bend and Misha-
waka Mix Dealers association, the
increase is necessary owing TO a
raise in milk prices recently by the
farmers and producers which is also
TO be in effect. beginning July l.
The new price OF quart of milk as
announced by the retailers Will be
IL cents. while a pint will sell at
five. Cream prices will advance two
cents on the half-pint. The pres
ent price OF 10 cents for a half-pint
OF cream will be increased 70

change 10 II cents The new prices
do not alter the sale price of
whipping cream which has and will
continue 10 sell at % cents the half

the change in retail prices necessary
was recently made known 10 local
retailers Producers. who have been
selling milk at $3.50 per 100 pounds.

extent Of about $4,000. or just
about the amount included in the
