Is the settlement of tho milk strike to mean costlier milk for New York consumers! Not if the State authorities do their duty by the publio. The big milk distributors have yiclded to what they choose to call the extortionate demands of the farmers. If @ contract period can be agreed upon the dairymen will get an increaso of 45 cents @ hundred pounds for their milk, which is equivalent to a price of about 6 cents ® quart. Do the milk companies mean to pay that iucrease? Or are retail milk prices in this city? To forestall any such scheme the State should go straight ahead with an inquiry into what it costs to produce and distribute milk. The dairyman, it is claimed, has had to cope with bigger feed | bills and with increasingly rigorous standards and regulations applied ; to his product. His capital is in most cases relatively small. His returns have brought him but a meagre margin beyond his living. What about the milk distributors} Has buying milk from the farmer at 81-2 cents per quart and selling it in this city ‘at 8, 10 and 12 cents a quart left the big milk companies strug- ing and impoverished! he Evening World has furnished the answer: The Borden Condensed Milk Company, which alone deliv- ers half a million quarts of milk each day in New York City, has $7,500,000 of 6 per cent. preferred stock and $21,812,600 of common stock which has been paying 8 per cent. divide: for fourteen years. The Sheffield Fa: Slawson-Docker Company, another of the city’s big milk combines, has $1,500,000 6 per cent. pre- ferred and $1,200,000 common stock upon which for ten years it has pald an average annual return of 11.14 per cent. These figures taken from Poor’s Manual leave no doubt as to the profitableness of milk distributing in Greater New York. The city has narrowly escaped a terrible milk famine. It finds that it is at the mercy of milk producers and milk distributors when- ever these two groups choose to war upon each other with strikes or’ boycotts. It finds that competition, eo far as the milk business is concerned, is a grim joke, that there are no independent milk pro- ducers or distributors courageous enough to come to its help in time of need. The time has arrived, in fact, when, strike or no strike, the public of this city demands a thorough State investigation of the milk situation, It sees no reason why any combination or alliance should have the power to deprive it of its milk supply when milk is plenty. Nor does it see why it should pay 10 and 12 cents a quart for 2 milk of the same grade that people in other cities get for three or four | cents le If the big distributing concerns attempt to boost the price of milk in order to cover their new contracts with the dairy. men, they will not find New York in a submissive mood, It will take a pretty thorough overhauling of the city's “collective” milk monopoly to convince co! rs that It ts thelr duty still further to increase its dividends. ———_-4 > —____—_ | | | Millions Pour Into G, 0.

Occasional references found in the Bible or the works of Herod- otus and Plutarch show that from remotest antiquity cymbals and hand- bells played @ prominent part in reli- gious ceremonies, Herodotus tells us that in Egypt the festivals of the goddess Isis and her affinity Osiris were celebrated with the sound of crotals. In the earliest Jewish festivals Aaron and his fellow high priests wore | golden bells attached to their vest- ments, @ symbol which to-day in every synagogue forms part of the| ceremony of taking the scroll trom the Ark. The priests of Cybele used timbreis in camp and garrison and, according to Sulla and Suetonius, the Romans announced the hour of bathing with bells, the reverberations of which caused a peculiar echoing through- out the city. In all probability the instruments used for this purpose wens cymbals or resonant plates of metal brought together with resound- ing force. The mistaken ascription of the first use of bells for church worship to Paulinus, Bishop of Nola in Cam- pania, arises from the names Cam- pana and Nola, commonly given to, bells in those times; but it is certain | that small bells wens introduced into France in 50.

But as soon as the household aroused by the squawking of the fowls, the Man and his servants rushed out with clubs and beat the poor Fox half to death. Before the Man could wholly kill him, the battered and bruised Fox managed to wriggle out of the yard and crawl away in the darkness, snarl- ing in agony, as he went: “That 1s the way of the world! ‘That is how the world pays tte debts!” The Jarr Family By Roy L.
