At the pinnacle Of a success
that has swept over two conti-
nents and has been unparalleled
in the annals Of motion picture
history, Marion Davies and Lit
tie Old New York" win open st
the RiaIto Theater Sunday next.
Since its premiere at the Cos
nopolitan Theatre, New York,
when Il played to the most dis
tinguished audience which ever
saw -a photopIay, Little Old New
York has achieved one record
breaking success after another.
During its phenomenal twelve
weeks at the Cosmopolitan The
ater, 1925 persons paid to see
Little Old New York" at prices
ranging from so cents to 81.
The total receipts during the en-
gagement were $19S,O6O for an
average Of $11 sos weekly.
The picture probably would have
remained there indefinitely, but
the run was terminated owing to
the fact that the Cosmopolitan
Corporation had q list Of other
photoplays for first-run presen-
tations at that house.
In London. where Il opened at
the Empire Theater, shortly after
its Broadway premiere, Little
Old New York" achieved what Is
said TO be the greatest triumph
of a film in England.
In It's first week lat the Cali
fOrnia Theater, Los Angeles,
Little Old New York drew
$19,914 at the box office. At
present in it's eighth week at
that theater 1t has continued to
hold up to its first weeks aver
age and the run, to date, has
realized about 100000.

THE CARE OF MILK

Are you cooling your milk to the
lowest temperature possible?
Each summer a vast quantity of
milk is lost because of lack of proper
cooling, the greatest loss occurring
during July August and September,
a period when the market for milk
and its products, particularly ice
cream, is at its height.
Hence, the cooling of milk at that
season is an important factor in max
ing your dairy farm pay. The press
of arm work at this season, together
with the warmer water on the farms,
contribute to make the matter of
cooling milk more difficult.
Milk, in order to reach the consumer
in good shape, must not only be sweet
when shipped to the receiving sta
ton, or shipped direct, but must be in
such condition that it will stand the
Journey to the city, the hauling to the
CITY plants from the railroad freight
wards. pasteurized, delivered the fol-
lowing day and remain sweet in the
consumers hands for at least twenty
four hours after the dealers make de-
livery.
This requires the utmost care on
the part of the farmer, that he prop
erlv cools his milk Immediately after
the milking. Several good methods
NAV be used, 1t is always desirable
to cool with ice where available. If
not, it is always possible to cool sat
isfactorily by a milk cooler if a sup
plv of running water is available, in
which case the water should come
from a we'll direct or from a well in
sulated tank where the temperature
approximates that of a well.
Sons milk coolers may be used be-
tween a well and tank pumping
water through the milk cooler into
the tank. If the tank is situated very
high, the average milk cooler, will not
stand the pressure.
Another good method of cooling
milk is to lower the milk cans into a
tank of sufficient size and depth to
provide an ample supply of water
coming up to the neck of the cans.
The milk should be stirred occasion
alIv bv means of a metal stirrer
when this method is used. A wooden
naddle or other substitute for the
metal stirrer must never be used. The
water in the tank should be changed
during the cooling operation so as to
bring the milk to the lowest possible
temperature:
Investigation shows many cases
where the milk is subjected to the hot
sun in transit. The careful producer
will always take the precaution of
providing a cover for the milk in
transit. Blankets or canvas should be
kept for the purpose, especially when
the milk is left sitting on a platform
to be picked up later.
