TO THEIR OWN UNDOING. \8T JULY, when tho retail price of milk in thie city wae reieed from 11 to 11 1-2 cente a quart, there wae an actual lowering of the farmers’ price from 4.07 to 4.46 cente So it bas been y the com. Vb ” ether the distribu gamer has been taught that pay = nd more and stil! During the last thirteen monthe, with on increase of 3.2 cents in the price paid to the producer of milk, the milk dealer has made it Dusinecs to exact an extra five ¢ rt from the consumer The 5.6 conte which the distributer collected a little over a year ago for the mere handling and delivery of « quart of milk, he has now boosted to 7.4 cents, by the simple process of making every addi- tional cent he pays the farmer the pretext for taking not only that cent but about three-fifths of a cent more for timely extra profit out of the consumer's pocket. And when the public begins to protest that it cannot afford to bay milk at such prices, it ie warned that unless it goes on buying as much milk as ever at whatever pyramiding scale of charges the milk| trade dictates, cows will be slaughtered for beef and it can whistle’ for m‘lk! The time has come to open the eyes of the milk dealers to where they stand: | Wilk is a necessity. The young must have ft if they are to grow up strong and healthy. The sick need it. The well of all ages are the better for it. Milk will continue to be produced. It will also, sooner or later, be distributed at prices within | the reach of consumers. | No community at this stage of civilization and progress is. going to allow that these things are impossible. | If private enterprise can’t produce satisfactory results from | the distribution of milk as a business, then municipal authority will | take over the distribution of milk asa necessary public service. And let the milk dealers bear in mind two things: ‘What, in their time of special need, the American people learn from direct experience can be done by public authority to organ- ize, expedite and cheapen the handling of necessities—including milk—is not going to be forgotten or set aside later, when peace returns, in the interest of private profit seeking. Also—if it becomes immediately necessary at this critical Juncture to choose between the need for milk-nourished children @e « potential factor in the nation's strength and the claims of capital invested in milk distributing concerns whose methods have proved a failure, there cannot be the slightest doubt where the choice must fall. a» peid more or | au never mean avyt but NO NEEDLESS MYSTERY.

As it marched with coats thrown over shoulders and with tmpedimenta, the populace was under the impression that it was a platoon of drafted men.
