"Our readers will remember that on Monday morning, July 3, the two local dairymen, Messrs. B. F. Kauff-| man and Jacob Stauffer, without any notice whatever, raised the price of milk froma 6 tO 7 cents a quart, charging 4 cents for a pint, Mr. Jacob Brown, a farmer living south of town, who sells quite a bit of milk here, was selling his cow juice at 5 cents per quart. When the customers of our two dairymen heard of the sudden in- crease there was a howl in general, many objecting inasmuch as the wholesale price of milk which has been 14 cents a gallon for the past three years, was not increased. The only reason given for the advance in Bicycle Thieves Are Operating TWO WHEELS STOLEN HERE WITHIN THREE DAYS—ONE WAS BADLY DAMAGED Evidently there is some one 11 this community who has an appetite for bicycles as two were stolen withim the past week. The thier is one of those mean cusses as can be learned from the manner in which he damaged one of the machines. Last Thursday evening Mr. George Zink placed his.bicycle in front of Mr. H. 8. Newcomer's hardware store and later when he returned it was gone. At first he thought some one had, played a little joke on him by hiding it but after thorough search he was unable to find Next day he learned that a bicycle had been found along the “Cut” in the rear of Hotel McGinnis. Mr. Zink investigated and found it vas his bicycle. Both tires, which were practically new, were badly cut with a kmife and a complete set of tools stolen from the tool bag. After damaging the bicycle the thief must have thrown it over the femce where it was found. The local con- stables are now working on the case. Second Bicycle Stolen On Saturday afternoon Willis Green: awalt went to Mr. O. M. Donaven’s store. It was about two can o'clock and | | was the fact that bottles and bottle caps cost more. Mr. Brown, when seen by a re- | porter of the Bulletin, said he can | price | and does make money retailing milk at 5 cents a quart and that He saw no reason why the dealers could not make a fair profit at 6 cents a | quart. Also that if the local dealers | did not return to the old price, he | would start a daily milk route in | . | this town. | The move of Mr. Brown and the | many objections of the patrons were | recognized by our dairymen and a [few days ago they decided to re- | duce the price of milk to 6 cents a | quart on Monday. The advanced | price only held good for two weeks. We think this a, very good and business like move on the part of Messrs. Stauffer and Kauffman and it will be appreciated by thei many | patrons. | although only in the store for a few minutes, when he came out his bicycle | | | was gone. Nothing has been seen or i heard of it since. If these bicycle | thieves are caught, they can rest as- | doen they will get all that is coming | to them and then some. | Third Bicycle Stolen { On Monday evening when a | of boys were playing on the lawn near | the P. R. R. passenger station, among | them was Clinton Eby, jr.
