As far as ig known at present the
price of milk in Philadelphia will not
be i-educed during the coming summer.
This fad will be of considerable inter-
0 local farmers ami dairymen, a
huge percentage of whom ship their
milk tO that city. Wholesale dealers
»i thai the present price of eight
ci nts per quart will prevail and the re-tailers
win be eompelled to abide by
the decision of those from whom they
get their supply.
The maintenance of the .Winter prlc-
I .luring the Summer months is attri-buted
to the great expense the dealers
sre under Ixrause of the stringent
laws of the various States governing
the distribution of milk.
George Abbott head of the firm con-
Irolllng Abbott's Alderney Dairies,
voiced the sentiment of a majority of
wholesalers on Thursday when he said
that milk at six cents a quart under
present conditions means an Inferior
supply.
"Milk sold all last Summer." he ad-
' :" e'Bht cents a quart. I am posi-tive
It will sell at the same rate dur-ing
this Summer. The price of butter
rules the milk market generally. But-ter
has advanced from four to five
cents a pound on all grades, conse-quently
as the milk in a measure is the
butter. It does not follow that one ar-ticle,
practically the same could de-crease
in price while the other ad-vanii
s.
"Another argument In favor of milk
remaining nt eight rents a quart is the
facl that veal Is higher this year than
formerly. Farmers must supply the
demands of the market and when the
price of veal goes up. It's a good criter-ion
that milk will not go down. In a
measure It denotes that the farmers
desire to fatten their calves for their
Future supply of milk.
"According to statistics" said Mr.
Abbott "gathered by the Milk Ex-change
the annual increase In the con-sumption
of milk in Philadelphia alone
reached near 1.000.000 quarts and such
in Increase entails heavy expenses for
landling.
"Dealers cannot serve the quality of
nllk selling at eight cents a quart to-lay
for six cents in Rummer. The rea-
"<i is plain. In Summer the question
'f ice is a big item of expense and it
wems Strange b) think the dealers can
educe the price of their goods In
rads when the cost for Its keeping in-reaaaa,
"It's an unwise economy for any-wdy
to preach for low-priced milk. At
lx cents a quail ihe retailer has no
icnrt to keep his milk good and pure;
ut al eight cents a quart there Is a
'Ivlng in the milk business. Take his
living away from the deojer and you
Si what you get."
"The care of cattle has undergone a
i-apld change within late years," con-
Hnued Mr. Abbott. "Feed, farm expen-
> leans of shipping have all ad-ineed.
The excuses cannot be in-
■ lured by the producer without a cor-tponding
effect manifesting itself
poo those who handle the product.
"Some years ago farmers who were
unable to keep their milk by natural
climatic means allowed It to sour, and.
• f coarse, the supply became short. At
"Hs age the supply must be mnln-
' lined. Therefore farmers have been
compelled lo harvest Ice in the Winter
to keep their product In the Summer
Surely It seems unreasonable that the
price of milk to the consumers should
be reduced In the face of all these ox-pen
ses to be met by the producer."
On Saturday a/tei noon a patched up
team under the name of Conshohocken
.'onrneyed to Collegoville and tackled

In the Montgomery county Jail,
awaiting trial for attempting to wreck
the fast express trains on the Bethle-hem
branch of the Philadelphia a,nd
Reading Railway.
For some weeks the railroad people
have met with no end of annoyances
In and about North Wales. Switches
were misplaced, frogs were filled with
stones, and even the Hall signals were
tampered with. A few days ago the
Buffalo express as saved from destruc-tion
by the fact that after the frogs
had been filled, the signal system was
affected and the ile.nger signal given.
Officers quietly at work learned that
Coal Dealer Moyer, of North Wales,
was annoyed by some one sending or-ders
in his name to the coal Bales ag-ents
at Bethlehem for extrai large
quantities nf coal, piispected young
Mattls. who was employed about the
coal yard as being responsible for all
the trouble.
Friday he was arrested by Officer
Brlstley. on suspicion, and then sur-prised
the officer by confessing to the
charges, and with a broad grin, said
he considered II was a huge Joke on
all who had been subject to his pranks.
"Wasn't It a splendid April fool?"
said he on his way to Norrlstown.
When naked why he had broken the
signal system he said he was afraid
that If he didn't the signal would move
the frog and In that manner throw out
the Btones. It Is a known fact that
Mattls is telling a lie for whenever In
■ In! Ibis he ran away. What his mo-tive
could have been is not known and
the officer can see no reason for it. His
doings were rertalnly hazardous for he
placed the lives of many people In Jeo-pardy.
■
Mattls was committed to Jail for *
further hearing to-day.

WOMENS' AUXILIARY
The Missionary Society of the church
known as the Woman's Auxiliary hold
their meetings monthly, except dur-ing
Lent, when the members meet ev-ery
week for sewing.
At the November meeting it was de-cided
to send a Christmas box to a
clergyman in Virginia consisting of
gifts suitable to the season. Not clo-thing
such as we send to the very
needy, but gifts to brighten the Christ-mas
time in a family of "even children
where money for presents among so
many was scarce. This box was val-ued
at J19.12 and was Welcomed most
gratefully. Our Lenten work was de-voted
to a box of clothing for St. Kath-arine's
orphan school In Bolivar. T.inn.
I-ast year the little girls In the Inter
mediate room of our own Sunday school |
pieced a bed quilt during Lent, but It
was not made up. This year the Wom-en's
Auxiliary had a "quilting" and
finished the work, and sent It to St.
Katharine's School with the other ar-ticles.
A response of thanks was re-ceived
and the matron wrote that the
quilt should be used for the Bishops
bed. This box was valued at 117.(6
making for both boxes. $36,67.
I<ast year our boxes were valued at
1112.94. so our work this year has fall-en
off considerably. It Is hoped we
shall do better next year, ajnd for this
end would earnestly ask for more
helpers among the women of the Par-ish.
"While we have time let us do good
unto all men."
