Prof. NJ. w. Whiteford, Agricul-
tural teacher in the High school, gave
his experiences in the dairy business
with questionable equipment and al
so with approved equipment and
methods, and the financial advantages
of modern methods.
Several members of the Meyers
dale Chamber of Commerce were
present.
While no definite conclusions were
reached, it is certain that if the ma
jority of milk producers will arrange
to furnish a year around supply of
milk under sanitary conditions they
will realize a handsome return for
their efforts and they should i'm
mediately take steps to profit from
the opportunity presented.
Beginning next Monday, March %,
and running each evening to April
1st, a course in Dairying will be
given by DR.. Devoe Meade, of the
University of Mryland, Dairy
Specialist. The meetings will open at
p. m. and will be held in the High
school, This course is open to all.
There are no charges as DR.. Meade is

ably of late. Mr.. A. C. Stanton,
Cashier of First National Bank was
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced the principal speaker, Mr.. A. H.
Murray, one of the owners of the
Menzie Dairy operating at McKees-
port and Braddock, Pa, and also in
terested in the Myers and Powers Ice
Cream Co., at McKeesport This con-
Germ, Mr.. Murray explained, besides
owning the Keyser Ridge Creamery
have milk plants at lockwood, Pa,
and other points to gather the milk
and cream in; that they can handle
all of the milk that can be produced;
that with quality and a steady year
round production prices will become
better, as they can operate more eco
nomically than at present. He further
explained that all tests are made by
The Dairy Laboratories of Pitts
burgh, an organization not connected
with any of the dairies, thus assuring
the farmers fair and honest test of
the milk sold them; that they do not
enter into contracts for milk, thus
leaving the farmer free and unhamp-
cred to sell where he wishes. Follow
ing Mr.. Murray, Mr.. Lloyd Vought,
of the New Meyersdale Dairy assured
the farmers that much more milk
could be sold if it were available. Mr..
H. S. Yoder gave some figures which
show that it is twice as profitable to
sell whole milk rather than turn it
into butter, as is done at present to a
large extent.
Mr.. McGlone, County Agent
pointed out to the audience that it
would be necessary to gradually
adopt more approved methods for
producing and handling milk, but that
/ they would be more than repaid for
making the necessary changes. He
also urged the farmers to investigate
very carefully the various offers laid
before them, that much brighter flu.

During the long watches Of the night,
when a strange dog howled under her
windows, and she had listened vainly
for that creak on the stair which
would signify Warrington's return
from James Cox's, she had made one
determination: whatever came, her
mother was to have this one day more.
1t was not that she so loved her
mother. There were times when she
wondered if she loved her at all. But
she believed that life had been cruel
to her. Although she did not put it
so to herself, much of her service was
a sort of vicarious atonement.
She went up to her mothers room.
there she burned the newspaper and
turned down the bed. It was time for
Warrington to be up and moving
about, but she could hear nothing.
