Local Milk Market
to Remain Normal

Prices Of milk in Waterville are
bound to undergo no rise. insofar as
retail prices are concerned, according
to the statement made Yesterday to the
kennebec Journal reporter by one of
the leading retail distributors of the
city.
The query as to conditions in Water
ville's milk market was prompted by
yesterdays report from Boston to the
effect that retail distributors in that
city are contemplating a rise in their
prices. 1t is reported that in many
sections of New England prices in this
commodity will be increased helf cent
per quart starting the first of August.
This is the second increase in the gem
eral market for the price of this neces-
sary food was raised half a cent the
first of the present month.
The Waterville distributor stated
that the present price here is about 10
cents, few retailers selling above that
price. He stated that a very fair profit
was possible at that figure and that he
could see no reason for the belief that
it would be necessary to make an in
crease in that price in the very imme-
date future.
This announcement should be very
gratifying to those resident in this
city. especially at this time of the year
when milk is such a desired article on
the daily menu.

DOG DAYS START
WITH A RUSH
IN ELM CITY

waterville yesterday underwent q
dog day. The temperature sunk to
about "a degrees for one of the cool
est July days on record in the city.
The temperature was more phenome-
nal when 1t Is remembered that local
thermometers registered above 80 a
week ago yesterday the drop in the
week aggregating approximately 40
degrees. In some of the business
offices of the city, it was necessary
to build fires before employees could
go about their daily tasks in comfort.
Many homes were heated by fire
places which have not smouidered
since last spring. A week ago Wa
terville grumbled because of the ex-
cessive heat and yesterday wished
for a few degrees of the same heat.
Yesterday was the 55th anniversary
Of the organization of Alaska as a
territory of the United States and
the weather man certainly did his
best to remind people of the fact. AS
matter of fact, Alaska was warm
er than Waterville yesterday. accord
ing to information received from the
weather bureau. When Alaska was
purchased by the United States most
people thought of the country as a
bleak. desolate region whose principal
products were Ice, Eskimos and Polar
bears; and there was quite COM
mon suspicion that Russia had bum
coed Uncle Sam in charging $780,
900 for the transfer of the place to
the United States. Many Waterville
people had salmon for dinner yester-
day, little realizing that their salmon
was fresh from Alaskan waters.
Last night was advertised by the
weather man as full moon night but
the overcast skies obliterated all
signs of the new moon. The fore
cast Is showers for today.

due to the fact that IL has been
proven that soft coal was the cause
of the large numbers of fires last
winter.
A pamphlet, issued by one of the
local dealers. has the following to
say regarding the use of anthracite
coal:
1T may be that smaller sizes of
anthracite are available, and. as
shown below, these can be used to
effect economy.
"At night. after the fire is shaken
down and some Of the larger coal
put on, the fire can be banked for
the night by shoveling on a top
dressing of No. buckwheat.
This top dressing tends to hold
down the draft and aids in the prop
er and economic combustion of the
coal body as a whole.
I'm the morning, at least in mild
weather. the furnace should be
shaken down as usual and fired with
some of the regular coal.
After the fire has been burning
we'll, it can be checked or banked
by using a quantity Of the fine coal
as top dressing.
1.-The two sizes Of coal should
AACNOi p0 ihlACu pQL hSpI SSpdT-
ate bins. The buckwheat should be
used only as a top dressing. and
should not be used except with the
larger sizes of anthracite.
THE ordinary furnace does not
have sufficient draft to produce sat
isfactory results when buckwheat is
| used with either chestnut or pea
coal.
The exact proportion OF small
| and large coal should be determined
| by experience and by weather con-
ditions. Keep the egg and pea coal
| in separate bins. If you have a good
bed of fire put the egg coal on first
| and then add a smaller amount OF
| pea coal.
IF the fire is low, put on a little
pea coal and after good bed OF
| fire is formed add the egg and pea
coal as above. Always carry layer
| of ashes on the CRATE to prevent the
| coal from falling through.
| ''Shake the CRATES with short
strokes-just enough to remove
most of the ashes: leave a layer on
! the crate. Then slightly loosen the
fire with a poker SO that the air can
| pass through it. Allow the fire to
burn up brightly; then add little
| coal.
ALLOW the fire to burn rather
| freely for about fifteen minutes;
| then fill the fire-box with coal al
most to the bottom of the coaling
| door.
IF you change your order or al
least a part of it to egg or pea and
| No. 1 buckwheat. you will get quick
err delivery. as we'll as save money
| Above all things. be sure and order
your winters supply of coal as soor
| as possible to enable Waterville
| dealers to do all possible toward in
surfing the city with an adequate
| amount to last through the win
| ter without inconvenience and sMf.
fering for all concerned"
