Brunswick Claims
Won First Place in
Recent Milk Contest

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 21.-Dr. Alfred
o. Gross, the local milk inspector, in
a statement issued today claims that
Brunswick should have had first place
in the State milk contest held in Port
land on November syinstead Of fourth
position. DR.. Gross, who is professor
of biology at Bowdoin College and a
most distinguished scientist, bases his
claim on an apparent mistake made by
an assistant in the State department
in analysis of the butter fat percent
age in a sample of milk taken from
the herd of Fred f. Harmon.
Unknown to the State authorities,
Dr. Gross in collecting samples from
four milkmen, L. f. Coburn, Fred h.
Harmon, Donald A. Hunt and +. w.
Little, took an extra sample which he
analyzed himself and had checked by
his assistant. Both DR.. Gross and ms
assistant determined the butter rat
content of IIarmon's milk to be 40,
whereas the state analysis only gave
it 3.5. They took 10 points from the
Harmon score.
First place was won by Portland
with score of 95.6S, while Brunswick
in fourth position was given 94.Zo.
With the correction made the Bruns-
wick score should have been 1915.

Greenwich, following q special dls-
pensation from Rome.
The duke was accommodated IN
