Then we got off and walked ‘along until we found a nice place to eat our lunch, While we ‘were eating, and afterward, mother told us stories about the Civil War and said that we must remember the Civil War as well as the Big War.

This fading away of market volume has ha dmuch to do with the price| slump because the boiling boom ac- tivity, making ready sales for specu-| jJators, was an important consideration in prices, Gamblers who saw they could sell promptly were willing to pay more than otherwise woud have| been considered. This speculative in- flation amounted to 10 or 15 per cent. ‘The chance of a clear field for unre- stricted gouging of tenants was worth 20 per cent. more. The willingness of bankers to} lend money, even if at rates almost double the normal real estate level, was good for another 5 per cent. of inflation. But all of this was dissipated almost over night—the bankers loans last when the Federal Reserve Board decreed last week that epeculative middlemen—like rent prof- iteers—must be cut off from all loans.

Y DEAR COUSIN ELEANOR: I just finished reading your letter in the Kiddie Korner and so I am going to tell you what I did on Decoration Day. | To tell the truth, I did exactly what I had not expected to do. First, I haa invited a girl friend to spend the holidays with me, but she met with | an accident and was unable to come, and then another girl and I were go- ing to hike to Setauket for some social | games which were there, but by some sort of an accident we failed to meet each other. “So at length I took my camera and my cousin and went down to the pavilion where the people | who come up for the summer go swimming and took pictures. We had great fun after all. I suppose you have heard of the | races which took place at Riverhead and Mineola yesterday? Our towns- people are quite proud, for one of our auto dealers entered a very cute Essex racer and came back with three | first prize cups.

This month, when the cows are in pasture and the pasture at i its best, cows give mote milk and for less money than any other time of the year. Yet the price is 54 of a cent per quart more than May. The farmer said the situation justified it. Notwithstanding this increase to the farmer, there will be no increase in the price of Sheffield Milk to the consumer, except at points so remote that freiglit cartage and express make it absolutely necessary. 10 Cents aquart in your own container at Sheffield stores. This means that with this increased June cost we have an enormous surplus (300,000 quarts daily) that can only be salvaged as butter and cheese and at an enormous loss. In view of the fact that butter and cheese can be made cheaper in other sections of the United States, it seems to us that the milk made in this territory should be consumed as fresh milk, when milk is at its best. So ‘we will continue the low prices through June. At these prices you should double your milk supply. Take ad- vantage of this opportunity. Drink more milk. Make June a month of milk feasts. Give the children more milk on their cereals. Make more custards, puddings and other milk dain- ties. You will spend less money for foods and be healthier and happier. Ideal as a food for every month, milk is especially good for summer. With the flow decreases. 15 Cents a quart bottle delivered te your home. . of June the grasses dry up and the milk ‘he June surplus fades into a July shortage. ‘Ae the shortage increases, prices rise. No more this year 2 can we sell milk for the prices we now offer it. Don't let this "s surplus go into butter and cheese. Drink it, eat it while it is fresh milk, The best and cheapest food.
