the garage Is the substitution OF
panels Of glass blocks for existing
windows. Such panels can be made

offer to pay $3.75 per hundred
weight for milk which is sold to
the Washington consumer at Is

Officials OF Cumberland dairies,
who testified. contended in their
basic argument against a milk or
der, that the Cumberland milk shed
is too small for federal order.
Members Of the Tri-State Milk
Producers Association revealed at
the close OF the two-day hearing,
that dairy officials made O good
case-fOr the farmers.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-09-07

The hearing. held two weeks ago,
revealed two things:
THAT the seven diaries operat-
ing In Cumberland. for the most
part, have been scandalously under
paying the farmers supplying milk
in this area; and
2-That' the two Cumberland
daily papers are not interested in
printing information of interest to
its readers when that information
exposes the questionable business
methods of its large advertisers.
STORY OF CHISELING
Even without the newspapers,
the story of the methods by which
Cumberland milk distributors CHS
eled away at prices to milk pro-
ducers was uncovered before q
small group of farmers. distribu-
tors and consumers in the hearings.
Proposed by the Tri-State Milk
Producers Association, which has
been attempting 10 get a stable
milk price structure ever since its
formation last year, the hearing
was conducted by Department of
Agriculture official Donald r.
Heggie.
A federal milk order, Heggie ex-
planned before the hearing. can
only become effective after a ma
jOrity vote Of the milk producers
In the milk shed. The hearing was

held under a Department Of Agri-
culture law which provides that a
hearing must be held to determine
the necessity of referendum for
milk order.
A milk order establishes a one
price structure for all diaries and
milk producers, and calls for check
ing Of butter fat content tests and
weights and the books of the dair-
les by a federal inspector.
FACTS ARE:
Testimony at the hearing estab-
lished:
1.-The existence of wide varia-
ton Of prices paid to various farm
ers whose milk contained similar
butter fat and weighed the same;
2-The fact that a number of
milk producers never received
monthly statements and never
knew what they were receiving for
their milk;
3CThat daily butter fat content
tests and weights varied radically
at times on the within of the milk
distributors;
4-The diaries refused to allow
farmers 10 haul their milk to Cum
berland. although the farmers could
have their milk hauled at a cheaper
rate than they are now paying to
the dairies;
5-That farmers received as low

Poor criminal that am, know do not have
the right to address you, but can restrain
myself no longer. For it is impossible to be 50

A wear ago Blique had swindlcd him out of
his savings 1t had been absurdly easy - child's
nay - and Blique had quickly forgotten all
abo,.t II
Not -rabette The police had been unable
to help him. since Blique always worked just
inside the law, and 50 he had set forth on the
swindIers trail with the announced intention
cf administering such a sound thrashing, once
he caught up with him, that Blique would
think twice before he robbed an honest man
again,
The thought of falling into Crabettes hands
made Blque shudder. Jail was better - and
sacr. So when he had the i'll luck to run into
Crabette in this little village, he had not hesi-
tated. The village policeman had been saunter-
ing down the street. Blique had snatched up
rock and hurled it through the nearest store
window While the thwarted Crabette watched
he was marched off to the local bastille and
given a months sentence, which he received
with profound gratitude.
He had not known then about the warden's
wife.
In a respectable jail, you spend the days
sitting in your cell, bored but pleasantly idle.
In this wretched place, however, you weren't

prisoner came along to do the household drudg-
cry for her.
She had face like gorilla, tongue like
a bullwhip, and fearful temper, of which the
warden - meek and small - was properly
afraid. Her word was law. And 50 Blique had
been spending the dismal days scrubbing floors,

baked out of crushed rock, and grisly cold
potato. But now, Blique told himself, things
would be different
AS he hacked away at the onions, he savored
the brilliant idea that had come to him.
Psychology, that was it. Often he had seen
the warden's wife simpering into a mirror.
The brilliant idea was founded on the fact that
she was vain
HAT night in his cell, he composed remark
able document. He put it into pan of pota-
toes that he was given to peel the next morn-
ing, which he knew she would soon be inspect
ing. Then, with comfortable sense of antici-
patton he waited for things to happen
He did not have long to wait.
He was scrubbing the floor of the Jail that
afternoon when she appeared before him. He
saw that the note he had written was in her
hand. "Here!' she said in hoarse whisper
Come with metz
Blique affected an air of great embarrass-

But there - eat!
On the table we're two magnificent chops

It was working better than he had dared to
hope. Blique hung his head as if overcome
That did not prevent him from setting to work
