Move to Boost
Price of Milk
Milk Expert Declares Frank Hollis
Statement is Made to Pave the
Way for Big Jump.

Kenosha housewives had new trou-
Bile facing them at the threshold of
the New Year when it became certain
today that a big jump in the price Of
milk would follow the statement made
by Frank Holt, president of the Milk
Producers association, to the effect
that an increase was necessary to save
the producers. Kenosha is in the Chi
cago district and any increase there
will be reflected here.
Russell ]. Poole, chairman of the
high cost committee Of the city coun-
ell of Chicago, issued warning Friday
that preparations are on foot to boost
the price of milk five cents or from
~ to II cents a quart. His state
ment comes as an echo of the an
nouncement made by Mr.. Holt that the
producers were planning to demand an
increase of from $2.10 to So a hundred
pounds forty-eight quarts. Mr.. Holt
declared that the producers were OPP
Grating at a~loss and to avoid bank
ruptcy must have an increase. Mr..
Poole characterized Mr. Hollis state
ment as propaganda to prepare the
public for an increase"

Los Angeles, Cal - Renewed search
for the whereabouts of Mrs. Clara
Phillips "hammer murderess" who es-
capped from the Los Angeles county
jail December 5, conferred today around
note found about 100 feet from a
cabin in a lonely cabin near Los
Angeles where sheriff's deputies de-
clared last night, they were convinced
she had hidden for at least four days
after her Jail break.
The note, weighted down by rock
and partly concealed in brush on the
trail leading to the cabin, read:
"Clara, will see you Wednesday night.
For Gods sake be careful"

aided Mrs. Philips in escaping. The
message, was written in a masculine
hand on the margin of newspaper and
officers said they regarded it as au-
thentic.

GUN WOULDN'T FIRE
PRISONERS ESCAPE
One Man is Killed by the Same Pistol
After He Had Admitted
Many RObberies.

Detroit, Mich. - A pistol that would
not fire for a jail guard, played an i'm
portant part last Sunday in the es-
cape of seven prisoners from the
Wayne county Jail. Reliance on the
same faulty weapon was responsible
in large measure for the death early
today of Joseph Ryan, the convict who
wrested it from the guard as he fled
the Jail. 1t refused to work when
Ryan and three other fugitives were
cornered in an apartment house last
night and a detective fatally shot
him and arrested his companions.
Ryan, leader in the Jail delivery,
died shortly after midnight after adj
hitting part in several daring rob-
berries since his escape He also
cleared deputies at the Jail of suspi-
cion in connection with the escape,
which officials had declared was per-
mitted by careless officers. Ryan
said he was wanted by authorities at
Mansfield, Ohio.
A wooden key found in the pocket
of one of the captured men solved the
mystery of their escape, the sheriff
office announcing it unlocked door
leading to the main corridor.
The men captured with Ryan were
Walter Hansen, Donald Smith and
Frank Wyrembalski.
The sheriff's office announced early
today that Joseph Zakrzewski another
of the escaped prisoners had been
trapped and soon would be taken into
custody.

BEET PLANT SALE
TO AID GROWERS
Pending Sale Of Wisconsin
Sugar Co. May Pay for
Old Crops Here.
HOPE TO FARMERS

News of unusual interest to the
beet. growers OF Racine and Kenosha
counties developed today. It was
learned from the best of authority
that negotiations are pending for the
sale of the Wisconsin Sugar COM
pany's plant at Menominee Falls. This
property is valued at close to $1,000
600, and the Consolidated Sugar COM
pany, new organization, is after the
same.
The plant in years gone by has
taken one-third of the sugar beet crop
in Racine and Kenosha counties. When
it suspended business year age, it
was found that the property was mort
gagged and that 100000 in bonds were
outstanding. The general creditors,
which included the beet growers, had
claims which were not secured, amount
ing to about 100000 Among such
creditors were growers in Racine and
Kenosha counties.
Provide for Payment.
Under an arrangement made be-
tween the bondholders and unsecured
creditors, $4,000 in bonds were le-
posted with the First Wisconsin
Trust company, at Milwaukee, to Sc
cure the unsecured Indebtedness. It
is expected that on the sale of the
property the unsecured creditors will
receive dividend of about 40 per cent
on their claims.
The United States Sugar company of
Madison, which also suspended pay
ment to unsecured creditors and beet
growers, issued notes for its indebted
ness and continued in business, reports
a good years business, although it had
only 400 acres of beets, which is abo1t
half the amount required of normal
seasons growth.
u. S. Company Is o. X.
The company has been able to meet
it's overhead expenses, interest charges
and taxes and will pay the interest on
the notes on Jan. 1. The price paid
for growing beets this year was SIS per
ton, plus bonus based on the price
of sugar during the months of Nove1n-
Der, December and January. Thee SIS
per ton has been paid the growers and
the bonus will be paid before Feb. Is.
ntcem4ra FIR ceoio,,h
1t is expected that the bonus will
amount to about $1.70 per ton, making
the total price paid growers $6.70 per
ton for 1922, which price is considered
profitable from the standpoint Of the
growers. The company is now making
contracts with growers in Racine, Ke-
nosha and other counties for 1923,
based upon the flat price of S. per ton,
plus. the usual bonus placed on the
price of sugar.
The business of the United States
Sugar company is in the hands of an
advisory committee of it's creditors.

SEES HIGHER MORALS
AMONG The WORKERS
Charles NJ. Schwab Prouder of Friend

of Higher Associates.
(By Associated Pres. Leased Wire

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Bethlehem, Pa.-Charles NJ. SchWab,
In an address last night before the
Pennsylvania State Education associa-
ton, declared that the average morale
of the average American. citizen-the
working class-was higher than that
of the "so-called higher citizens" of
the country.
Il am prouder of the friendship Of
those who worked with me. in my
humble beginning" he added, 'sthan
of the adulations of the highest in
the world"
Referring to the fundamental prin-
ciples Of education, he said:
Teach the boy first the broad prin-
ciple of democracy and second instill
in him the principle of honest inte-
gritty so that as a man he will love
his fellow man and his word will be
as good as his bond.
IF had son | would see that he
would receive the highest education in
the United States. Such a type cannot
be gained in universities and colleges
where class distinction and snobbish-
mes is often too prevalent, although
such institutions may give him supre-
macy in technical things. But those
traits do not make for a successful
business man. The ideal education, to
my mind, comes to the boy in the great
public schools of this country. There
is not real education except self edu-
cation. What he gets in school, after
all, is only the foundation on which
his future success is built by actual
effort"
