"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

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

Thumb Nail Torn Off \/
While Clinton H. Eby was assist-
ing in unloading a 2,500 pound
base for a monument which was
erected in the Henry Eberle ceme-
tery on Saturday by the Mount Joy
Marble and Granite Works, his
thumb caught between the base and
roller and the nail was torn off,
which was extremely painful.

This school is the largest in the
township this year and much work
will be required to bring about the
proper results. Especially is this
true because the primary depa.o- |
ment is so large. 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.
There are many other ways but
