Show THE CITIZEN 14 MILK WAR BRINGS OUT FACTS WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUNKIN. There is a lull in the milk controversy and the contesting factions are temporarily resting on their oars awaiting court decisions, etc. However, members of the milk association have approached the independents with a proposition to call off the milk war and to bring all the independents into the milk association. One of the big independents was approached and when asked to join, asked, what inducement is there for me to join your association?" The association man replied, raise your price of milk to 11 cents." What other benefit Is there for joining?" asked the independent. There is none." But," said the independent, we are making a good profit from milk by selling it for 10 cents, and under the present existing conditions we are perfectly satisfied withour lot." It has also come to light that a certain milk dealer made arrangements to meet a farmer at the Jordan river, where he purchased several gallons of milk, paid the farmer, and then dumped the milk into the Jordan river. The farmer stood aghast and asked what the idea was. With poor people and babies crying for milk, yet here is an alleged case where milk was deliberately destroyed for no other purpose than keeping it off the market, and evidently for the sole purpose of controlling the high price. When such things are known, people are bound to compliment Hoskisson for fighting the alleged milk trust, and he absolutely refuses to sell milk at a dictated price. 4 i. i From the surface it appears that the milk association is fighting the independent dealers on account of milk bottles said to be other than their own. However, during the first part of the week, the Salt Lake County Board of samples of milk from the various association dealers for the purpose of testing the milk. It was found that none of the association dealers sold this test milk in their own" bottle, as the list herewith clearly shows. And again we may well ask, Bottle, bottle, whos got the bottle"? Following are the official milk tests. Salt Lake City, November 30, 1927. milk dairies from of taken belonging to the Dairy Association, Samples November 28, 1927, by F. C.

Whenever the grasshoppers become a pest to farmers in this country, the people provide means to destroy the invading pest, not knowing that the hopper is a valuable food product. In Calcutta, India, dried grasshoppers are considered a delicacy, and woe be to the hoppers when they appear. The natives gather them by the sackful, dry them so they will keep indefinitely, and the stock is set aside for rare occasions and banquets. H. Bringhurst Geo.

This is the most popular college sport today and millions of people pass through the paid admission gate every year and pay big prices to see this fascinating game. A man must be a real athlete to play this game. It takes brain, muscle, and an iron frame to play on a big team, and the successful football player usually makes the successful business man.

There was a time, when it was a crime to play this game. In 1314, Edward II forbade the game, and in 1389 Richard II passed a new act for its suppression, while Henry IV, Henry VTII and Queen Elizabeth, all tried hard to stem its rising popularity by increasing the penalties. The Mexicans raised their hands in horror when they witnessed the first game and rated bullfighting as a gentlemans sport as compared with football. The Prince of Wales takes another headlong plunge from one of his favorite horses. The prince only rides the most spirited horses he can find. In fact, it is said that but few dare to ride his mounts. Taking such chances, it is no wonder that in an unguarded moment, his mount tosses him for a fall. .3.63 3.77 : 3.61 3.55 -- , 4.14 Notes The Salt Lake Gty Board of Health allows a minimum of 3.2 on Butter Fats and 12.00 on solids. m Steenblik Dairy 708 No. 14th West VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME Wasatch o 6998-- M H |
