DECREASE IN FLOW OF MILK
Absence Of succulent Feed and Chilly
Winds Of Winter Are Chiefly
Rssponslble.

The tendency on the part of the
dairy cow to give a decreased flow of
milk when cold weather approaches is
due to natural causes. Absence of
succulent feed, together with exposure
to chilly winds, are often responsible
for sudden drying orr in cows
flow. This is why successful winter
management of the dairy herd calls
for rations of succulent feed, together

Wheat harvest is on here what
little there is, but what about the
low price the farmer is getting.
Notice the diffeence between whe-
at that must be sowed, harvested.
and threshed. after plowing and
narrowing. and oil that comes out
of the ground. AT this moment in
California and else where oil is
pouring out in quantities impreced-
ented. But does that knock down
the price of gasoline? Not enough
to notice. Standard oil steps in
and buys 36000,00O' barrels at time
That steadys things. And intellig.
ent men closely united take good
care that the extra supply of oil
shall not mean cheaper price for
gasoline. What do you think wou-
Id happen to the farmers and the
price of wheat If wheat began sud
denly boiling up out of the earth?
Why in the duce, if oil companies
can do this, why Mr.. Farmer not

only this but go to their places,
thousands of workmen go to work

Mr.. Farmer and you must shake
your head, and wonder what the

is,The world is coming to better

possible thing for any country, bet

think he gets his money unless
from money that tens OF millions

Statement on Railroad Committee
Report
The full statement Of the five New
England governors in regard to the
Railroad Committee, was as fol-
lows:
1--WE have received the report Of
the joint New England Railroad
Committee, appointed by the Cover
nors, and herein express our appre-
citation of the thorough and pains
taking study that has been made of
the present New England Railroad
situation by the said joint commit
tee.
I'VE believe that the committee,
under the able craftsmanship of Mr..
James J. Storrow, has been animat-
ed solely by desire to promote the
public welfare, and in our opinion
these gentlemen have rendered an
exceptional public service to the peo-
pie of the several New England
States. The conclusions and recon-
mendations Of this committee are
entitled to the fair and careful con-
sideration of all persons interested
in the prosperity and development
of New England.
"The New England States are in
terdependent, and their problems In
many ways are similar. The people
are vitality concerned in the present
serious situation that confronts our
railroads. The plan of the commit
tee is the first concrete construc-
tive suggestion that yet has been
made for the rehabilitation of the
New Haven, and the Boston & Maine
Roads.
1--WE believe that the time has
come when these railroad problems
must be faced and solved. and we
expect that this will be done with
the same spirit that has been the
inspiration of New Englanders in the
years gone by.
1--WE have not had time to con-
slider or discuss the Committee's
plans, but we shall do everything in
our. power to promote the interests,
not alone of our particular States,
but of oil New England. We shall
give the committees report our early
attention, and already have made
plans to meet In Boston early IN
August for further discussion of the
situation

Miss Gray to Dance
Important Number
PaWtucket Pageant

Miss Dorothy f. Gray, daughter Of
Ernest A. Gray. who performed so
beautifully in the community pageant
presented last 4th of July by the Au-
gusta Chamber of Commerce, has been
invited by former Secretary George c.
Clarke to repeat her dance in the Paw
tucket pageant this year. Miss Gray
was the creator Of the interpretive
dance known as Immortality" which
is an aesthetic dance of the highest or
der.
This dance is considered by those in
charge Of the pageant as the central
number about which the important
scene 1.-THE Defenders of the Flag" is
built. After paying tribute to the liv-
ing. the story of the pageant calls for
an exercise paying high tribute to those
who have paid the supreme sacrifice"
The Immortality Dance Is the means of
empha sizing hope and depicts the belief
that the human race has in hereafter
the central fact of the Christian re-
ligion. Miss Gray's Interpretation Of
this difficult role is exceptional.
II. Price Webbcr Of this city Is in
full charge of the pageant of which

Washington. July 2-The aggregate
cost of materials needed in the cree
ton of a six-room brick house now is
ia percent above 1913, according to
studies just completed officially by
the Department of Commerce. The
studies are based on prices during
May.
Building cost is higher than at any
time in the last two years, the off,
cial reports indicate. 1t has advanc-
ed approximately twenty-five percent
in the last twelve months.
Construction work is slowing down
in many sections as a result of ad-
vancing prices of materials ard
shortage of labor. The volume of
building is still higher than a year
ago and represents a record in COM
parison with the prewar period. But
some observers predict that in the
