THE WEEKLY BULLE VOL VIL NO. 19 MOUNT JOY, PENNA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2 ye 1907 "Our Vilk War The Battle is Over and the Con- sumers are Victorious—Frank Conrad the Hero. One of the biggest milk that ever struck this community. was opened last Wednesday when the four local dealersadvertised ad- vance prices on milk and cream. The consumers set to work imme- diately inquiring as to the cause of this advance and obtained infor- mation from the farmers that sup- ply the local dealers. They stated that the wholesale price to dealers had not been raised four cents per gallon as was circulated and as a matter of fact, several dealers were buying milk at 12 cents per gallon, while two paid 14 cents per gallon. Up to that time but one farmer had told his dairyman that the price of milk would be raised to 16 cents per gallon. There was soon something doing when consumers heard of this and Frank Conrad immediately made preparations to go into business. He purchased a milk wagon, bot- tles, cans, ete., and yesterday morning started delivering through town and Florin. When the dealers heard of this they at once decided to drop to 7 cents for milk. Even at that con- sumers put up a kick and all the dealers finally decided to continue at the old prices. When farmers take their milk to the creameries, they can expect to be paid any price between $1.00 and about $1.30, all depending on test. The two creameries at Eliza- bethtown last month paid $1.05 per hundred pounds. Masterson- ville paid $1.10 while the patrons of the Farmers’ Creamery here that had a test of 3.8, received $1.25 per hundred pounds. While the local creamery pays more for milk than others do, the farmer that sold his milk to a dairyman at 12 cents a gallon, received $1.44 per hundred pounds, which is more than he could get any where else. During the Summer that price some lower. When a farmer is Ng Ii. mitk at 12 eents per gallon the year round, matter it tests, he has more than could get any where. Since last week, Izra Zercher, proprietor of the Crystal Springs Dairy, came to the conclusion that he would not go back to the old prices and sold his route and entire outfit, with the- exception of the horses, to John Graybill. We learned today that William Wagner opened a milk station at his residence on West Main street and that there is some talk of H. E. Klugh, the confectioner, open- ing a milk station at his place of business. The many no what he consumers here more than pleased to learn that there will be no raige, which we feel positive is due toa new man embarking in business, and Frank W. Conrad can now be spoken of as “the man that broke the milk trust in Mount Joy.” ree Geren. / Thumb Nail Torn Off \/ While Clinton H.

While the teach- er will spare no time or pains to do all that he can for the boys and girls placed in his care, it is the bounden duty of every parent to assist him in his work, viz; by the | regular attendance of his children, by giving assistance at ; their studies and by visiting the! school and comparing the work of his children with those of others.
