Through some misunderatanding the fact that the diamonds would be required in court Friday, when they were to figure in #atp Attorney Charles E Searls' cross-examination of the sc- cused, the time lock on the vault was set to open not earller than Saturday morning, as Friday, Columhus Day, | the bank was to be closed.

MILK PRODUCING COST TO BE INVENTORIED Assistani- Jeunty Agent C. E. An- drews to Make Systematic Study of Problem. County ‘Agent B. W. Ellis, Assistant County Agent C. E. Andrews and Karl B. Musser, of the Connmecticut Agri- cultural college, were in conference am _county town: defermining what 1t - s - costing the farms to produce milk. This new department of the Wind- am County Farmers’® Assoclation ac tivities will be under the personal su- pervision of Assistant County Agent Andrews. As planned at present, the proced- ure to get the facts wanted will be generally as follows: Mr. Andrews will have a list of from twelve to fif- teen farms, in different sections of Windham county, which observations will be made. An inventory will be taken on these dairy farms as the first step In golng after the statistics that are wanted. The inventory completed, Mr. An- drews will arrange to have ali grain and other feed. given to the -cows weighed and will carefully check up the “production from the he; arate record being kept on Mr. Andrews will visit at 1 2 month at each farm where observa- tions are being made and rxake intim- ate observation of the checking-up system as it may be scen in practice. After a reasonable period the cost of milk production on the different farms may be accurately computed. The millk production cost figures are urgently needed, the farmers’ assosia- tion holds, in. crder that there may be accurate and intelligent disc the milk sitpation and in o prices for the commodity may fixed on a sound economic basis. At the present time there ‘s agita- tion for better prices for the farmers for the milk they are broducing for shipment to big citles. Mr. Ellis stated that miik now golng out of the Putnam_district for Boston nets the producers about 5.9 cents, they getting 50.4 cents for 8 1-2 quart cans. They are asking, through the New Fngland Milk Producers’ Association, for 8§ cents, delivered in.

Thec is only one scientific way ard that is the one tak- en by the Commercial Kconomy Board in the reform of the delivery of goods. It is the,study of each bue- ess practice as 'an efficiency en- gineer would study a machine opera- tion, finding the lost motions, the bad Touting, the preventable wagte. It means cutting every .rodigality out, the husbanding time &nd motions as strictly as money and materials. It was such a study of the delivery system that led the Government to recommend a fixed number of deliv- eries a day, at regular hours, to ask purchasers, as a patriotic duty, to carry thir small packages, and to give up their freakish habits of asking for special deliveries and goods on approval. The quick with which_the merchants of the country met the request to re-organize their deliveries, to give up their elaborate competitive weapon that so many had come to think indispensable, is one of the proofs of the amazing volun- tary co-operation in meeting war needs that the country is giving: It is only -a.few woeks since the possibility of freeing men and equip- ment: through a reform of deliveries was lald before the merchants and their_customers. Today the Commer- cial Economy Board hae definite in- formation that in the following citles the deliveries have been reduced to two, or in some cases one: Akron, O.: Baltimore, Md.; Cincinnati, Cleve- understanding land, Dayton, O.; Portland, Ore East St. Louis, Ili; Fort Smith, Arl Minneapolis, Minn.; Harrisburg, Pa Indidnapolis, Louisville, Ky.; Pitts- burgh, Providence, R. L: Reading, Pa.; Richmond, Va.; - Rochester, X. Y. San Francisco, Toledo, Kan.. Co- lumbus, O.; Oakland, Cal: Saginaw, Mich.; New Haven, Conn.; Roanoke, Va.; and St. Paul. | statement that instance, in Escanaba, Michigan, a cooperative delivery was organized seven vears ago. There being no war pressure the number of deliveries was set at five a day. Simply by combin- ing and regulafizing the service, the men and horses were at once reduced by one-half. Out in New Mexico there is a town, Roswell, where a focmer postmaster has built up a eystem according to districts; the route of the wagons or trucks being those of the former mall carriers. This service is done at & saving of twenty-five per dent. to the merchants. A service which formerl: required seventeen wagons is now performed by three -cars and four wagons. The gentleman who has worked this change has some wise reflections on the subject. “The waste in delivery service in these United States is simply staggering,” he sald, “and the merchants are to blame. A few peo- ple want the service and the mer- chants give it to them and of course make them pay for it. Whereas if the truth were known I venture the seventv-five per cent of the people the country over wouid rather have less delivery service and reduced prices on goods. All intelli- gent merchants know their delivery expense is excessive, but what can they do—the other fellow does it, and they must also. The fact remains, however, that a great majority of the people are forced to carry their ex- pensive systems by merchants cater- ing to the whims of a thoughtless, well-to-do minorit Here 15 the kernel of the practic A few demand elaborate and ther fore expensive waiting on. The mer- chant thinks his only chance to get their trade is by humoring their ir- regular habits, telling them they can have anything at any hour and so again and again he sends home an ar- ticle on which there as a two-cent profit, at a cost of six cents. The needs of war have opened up the unsoundness of this particular business practice as they will many others. Common sense as well as lovalty demand that it be corrected at_once. The call is urgent. Before these lines reach the press the first contingent of our National Army will be on its way to camp— It is impossible at this point in the readjustment to tell just -what this means in men and horses-and trucks in these particular cities, but if we accept the experience of those sensi- ble towns which did not wait for war to cut out the waste, it is fair to reck- on it as close to fifty per cent.
