[" Sherbrooke Daily Record.Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1913 ONE CENT CITY COUNCIL GETS AFTER ALLEGED MILKMEN\u2019S COMBINE Instructs City Attorney to Take Necessary Steps to Protect Interests of Consumers.Situation Discussed.One of Milkdealers Sets Forth Other Side of Case.Ths recent decision of the Milkmen\u2019s Association to increase the price of milk from seven to eight cents per quart and the compulsory-attitude they have adopted in forcing some of the local dealest, who disagreed with the proposal, to fall in with their action was the subject of a discussion at the Council Meeting last night.Aid.Ewing strongly denounced the threatening position taken up by the organization, and the following resolution moved by Aid.Brault and seconded by Aid.Denault was carried.\u201cThat the City Attorney he instructed to take such steps as may he advisable to protect the City\u2019s Interest against the formation of the combine for the sale of milk, and if necessary to take legal action.\u2019\u2019 The matter was introduced by the Mayor who stated he had been approached by a large number of citizens during the week with reference to the syndicate which had been formed to keep the price of milk too high.It was felt throughout the city that it was the duty of the Council as the supreme authority to interfere and see that legal proceedings be taken against the so-called organization to force them to disband and subject them to the penalties which should be incurred according to law.Milk was not a luxury, but a necessity of life.Sherbrooke was a growing city containing many young children, consequently they should use any power they possessed to prevent anything which would tend to impair their existence.Aid.Ewing referred to the far reaching importance of the question.The Council and the Board of Trade were making every effort to induce manufacturers to locate in Sherbrooke, the City was granting free sites and cheap power, and this so-called milk combine which had been sprung on the citizens had put a very serious aspect on the question.The foremost idea in the minds of manufacturers desiring to enter any city was to avoid those places where food and other necessaries were dear.Through the newspapers the fact was being spread through the country that Sherbrooke was under the combine.Aid.Ewing objected to the want of consideration shown to the public through the price having been raised without some notice being given.While he admitted their right to sell at any price they liked, he objected particularly to the compulsory attitude adopted by the orgauization.He had been informed that some of the local dealers wished to remain outside on this question but were forced to sign the agreement and were threatened with having to forfeit $25.if they sold under eight cents.He would like to see the combine broken as it was illegal.Aid.Thompson thought the resolution breathed too much of a fighting spirit.He suggested that the Health Committee meet the milkmen and discuss the question and then report to the Council, instead of taking action upon \u201crumors.\u2019\u2019 The motion was carried by six to two.\"For\u2014Gen est, Ewing, Dnrche, Brault, Prunier and Forest.Against\u2014Jenckes and Thompson.LETTER FROM ONE OF MILK DEALERS.Editor Record Dear Sir Referring to your article in Wednesday\u2019s issue nended, \u201cHow the deed was done.\u201d The deed was done also by rise in price of property all over the Dominion, rise in the price of feed, hay, bran, middlings and all kinds of feed; rise in wages; rise in the price of cows.We might also add rise in the cost of fuel, meat, and everything one has to buy.The deed has been done gradually, and the cause is just this, that it costs more for the man to live, also for the coW and its living cost more.The price of cows has increased in the last few years more than double.I have seen good grade cows sold for over one hundred dollars this fall, and hut a few years ago you could get a grade cow just as good for forty-five dollars.Wages have increased about double and the cow and the cow bam both require more work and attention now than they did when anything at all would pass for milk in the City.There used to he more profit for the milkman when milk sold in the City at five cents per quart than now at eight cents.You used to be able to buy a good farm for two thousand dollars and situated near enough to the City to make it convenient for the owner to furnish a part of the City\u2019s milk supply, but now it is requires a much larger capital to enable a man to produce a part of the C,itx.\u2019e milk supply than it did when milk was sold at five cents.Why you could get hay in the barn at six dollars a ton when you ran short in the spring, but there is no such price as that for hay from the field at hay time is sold for a much higher price.The price of milk must go up.It is forced to do so, by the natural increase in the value of everything that is required to produce the milk.The City not only requires the test of the cow\u2019s health and the inspection of the barn to be made, but also that the farmer or milkman shall pay the cost of the inspection, which adds greatly to the milkmen\u2019s expenses.I may say that the city used to pay these expenses and in shifting it on to the milkmen\u2019s shoulders it is only adding to the cost of production and advancing the price of the article produced.The Sherbrooke Pure Milk Com-pany have done good work in starting up.It is just what a growing city needs.This Company is on duty ready to serve its patrons fifteen hours out of the twenty-four and seven days in the week.They have already twenty thousand dollars invested in their apparatus and stock of machinery needed to take case of their output, and they are, proposing to build an ice plant coating four thousand dollars, instead of taking ice from the Magog River, and a good thing like this should be encouraged for they are not to blame for the high price of tfroduce that is required to produce milk, for if they still advance much higher the price of milk will reach ten cents per quart and you will think that good clean pure milk was not so bad at eight cents after all.Thanking you for space In your valuable paper.It will perhaps help some people to see that they are getting better milk at eight cents than they got at five cents, but it costs more to produce it.Yours Truly, HAROLD À WISE.One of the milkmen.Sherbrooke, December 4th., 1913.ONE REASON WPIY THE DEED WAR DONE.One course of the recent rise in the price of milk may be found, according to a statement of a local milk dealer, in the recent action of the Council, in placing the obligation of tuberculin test upon the milkmen themselves.Formerly tPc city has engaged ,ts veterinary to make this inspection on behalf of the City.Recently the city served notice on the milk dealers that they must individually engage the veterinary in the future and furnish the city with certificates.The milkmen state that the extra expense amounting on an average to $25.for each herd is not the only objection to the method but that the test is much more likely to he impartial and accurate if made by a city officer, paid by the City.\"This recent action of the Council,\u201d remarked a milk dealer to the Record, \u201chas been a sore point with us for some weeks.It is one cause which influenced the advance.\u201d SAYS UNiON MUST STAY REPRESENTATIVE IN DUBLIN SAYS ORGANIZATION HILL NOT SURRENDER.Dublin, Doc.6.\u2014Negotiations.between the Employers Federation and the English labor delegates continue in commercial buildings.Mr.McKeown at Liberty Hall seys .Tames Larkin has not yet been summoned back, but that he is in constant touch with Dublin.They will, he declared, never give up the union, nor, in certain circumstances, the sympathetic strike, or any other weapon necessary for the preservation of the union.On other points of difference they are not sticklers, but Irishmen must settle them.Tenants have been quietly evicted from sixty houses of the Merchant Warehouse Company.IMMIGRATION TO THE STATES 134,140 ALIENS WERE ADMITTED TO COUNTRY IN OCTOBER.Washington.D.C., Dec.6.\u2014 (Special) \u2014There were admitted to the United States a total of 131,140 immigrant aliens in October this year, according to the immigration statistics just issued by the Bureau of Immigration of the Department of Labor.This is an increase of 25,840 over the same month last year, when 108,-300 were admitted.MORE HELP FO CITY_ OFFICE H.C.King Has Been Engaged as City Accoanifni MAY REDUCE ELECTRIC LIGHT RATE\u2014NEW TRAFFIC BY-LAW PROPOSED.The adjourned meeting of the City Council was held last night.Mayor Hebert presided, and the Aldermen present were Jenckes, Thompson, Darche, Genest, Ewing, Denault, Forest, Brault and Prunier.The meeting commenced promptly at eight o\u2019clock.APPOINTMENT OF CITY ACCOUNTANT The Finance Committee recommended that Mr.H.C.King be engaged as city accountant as suggested by the treasurer, at an annual salary of $1,400 per annum, and that such portion of his salary as related to 1913 be charged to the reserve fund.On motion of Aid.Denault, the Council adjourned to the ante-room to consider this matter, \u201cas there were some things they might not like to say in public.\u201d Upon rsturning to the Council chamber, Aid.Denault proposed an amendment that the salary be fixed at $1,200.Aid.Brault seconded.Aid.Thompson understood the position demanded as much ability and carried equal responsibility as that of Mr.Demers, who was engaged at $1,400, and fr'r.King should not be asked to take it for less.Aid.Ewing thought the position was worth $1,400.Aid.Brault remarked that, because they had paid too much for Mr.Demers was no reason why they should repeat the mistake in this case.The citizens were following this matter very closely and the Council should not start at the top of the schedule.Mr.Gatien\u2019s salary had been increased $500 in three months and no doubt it would be the same with Mr.King.The amendment was defeated by 5 ! to 4.For\u2014Brault, Prunier, Denault and Forest.Aga\u2019nst\u2014Jenckes, Thompson, Ew-ine.Darche and Genest.The main motion was carried on the same division.CARROLL VS.CITY The Council adopted the recommendation of the Finance Committee on the advice of the City Attorney to settle this case for $150 and $36.65 costs, and further that if the City Attorney considers the city has recourse against the Sherbrooke Real Estate Co., that action be taken against them for ths recovery of that amount.FIRE AND GAS SERVICE AT THE GENERAL HOSPITAL The application made by Mr.B.C.Howard, chairman of the Hospital, for free fire service was not granted, the Council concurring with the views of the Finance Committee that whereas the city has already made a grant to the institution the usual requirements relating to Dre service connection and water service should be met.With reference, to the gas service at the hospital, it was resolved to request the institution to make application in a regular manner and enter into an agreement with the city to guarantee ten per cent, of the outlay.L.A.DUFRESNE'S ACCOUNT.A letter from Mr.L.A.Dufresne asking for delay of payment of debt and interest amounting to $800 was dealt with.It was resolved to instruct the city attorney to arrange for a confession of judgment, and make arr n ,ements for payment within a reasonable period, not exceeding three months, BUTCHER\u2019S LICENSE.A butcher\u2019s license was granted to Mr.W.Jobin to trade in East Sher-brooke.He is already in a similar business in Alexander Street, and it was mentioned that in the examination conducted by Dr.Tracy, meat inspector, he secured the greatest number of points.NOTICE OF NEW BY-LAW.Aid.Thompson gave notice that he would introduce a by-law to govern the street traffic.He complained that teams were constantly being driven on the wrong side cf the street, and stopping everywhere regardless of possible accidents.ELECTRIC LIGHT CHARGE.Aid.Denault introduced the question of electric light charges.He said that in Montreal the net rate was $6.40 per kilowatt.If Sherbrooke wanted to keep its reputation! of having the lowest rate they would have to reduce the price.He was satisfied their revenue would enable them to give it at five cents.A short discussion followed bnt no action was taken.R SHERBROOKE TO STANSTEAD Work on New \"V .Will Commence in the THREE PLANS UNDER CONSIDERATION BUT OLD STAGE ROAD WILL PROBABLY BE ROUTE.Work on the Sherbrooke and Stan-stead highway will he commenced early in the spring.This assurance was given to Mr.Bissonnette, M.L.A.for StaMtead and Mr.C.E.Ther-rien, M.L.A.for Sherbrooke by the Hon.Mr.Caron, Minister of Roads.Mr.Therrien told the Record of their interview with the minister.The latter informed them, said Mr.Therrien, that the engineers were now at work on the plans and specifications, and it was expected that they would be so far advanced with the work that tenders would be called for by the end of February.This would enable, the department to award the contracts in time so that work could be started just as soon as the snow had disappeared, and the ground in a condition to work.NO DEFINITE ROUTE.\u201cNo definite route has been determined yet,\u201d said Mr.Therrien.\u201cThere are three plans, but a final decision will not be arrived at until the engineers have completed their work, and the whole matter considered.There is a possibility, however,\u201d said Mr.Therrien, \u201cthat the old stage road will be the one selected.BUSY AT QUEBEC.\u201cWhen do you expect the session to be over?\u201d asked the Record.\"I do not think we will reach the adjournment until after Christmas.There are an extraordinary number of private bills before the Legislature, and that entails a lot of work more especially when the interested parties do not send the necessary fees in connection therewith.\u201d -*- CLOSESJTS DOORS Madero Family Were

Legislature Says That Paris Should Be Frist COST OF RUNNING FORMER OFFICE IS PLACED AT ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.Quebec, December 6.\u2014Some principles of Nationalism were enunciated in the Legislature yesterday afternoon by Armand Lavergne, who also made a plea for increasing the subsidy to the Salvation Army in Quebec.Both speeches were inspired by the consideration of items contained in this year\u2019s budget.When the entry of $3,000 was reached for the salary of a provincial agent in Paris, Mr.Bernier, member for Levis, brought up the question of the necessity of having a special agent in Paris and from this the information was elicited that the Quebec Government was spending three times the Paris expenditure for the agency in London.The information supplied from the Government site was that the cost of the provincial agency in London, England, was $11,000 and that the grant of $3,000 had up to a year ago formed part, of the salary of thefed-eral commissioner in Paris, hut that as certain objections had arisen the federal authorities\u2019 had decided the federal official could not act for Quebec at the same time.In the course of his remarks Mr.Lavergne said that he thought the province should spend an much on the Paris agency as on that at London, with the idea of attracting colonists from France to this province.Another agency should he established at Brussels, as in Belgium was another people of allied race.LMIII HEN wait j me Are Told That Province Is Not Yet Ready For Compulsory Education BLAMED GOVERNMENT FOR APATHY IN CONNECTION WITH LABOR LEGISLATION.Quebec, Dec.6.\u2014The province of Quebec is not yet ready for compulsory education, Sir Lomer Gouin told the labor delegation yesterday, adding that he personally thought more could be got by persuasion than by force, but that ft was a problem for the people to decide.When the labor delegation watted on the Premier some frank criticisms were indulged in on the part of the delegates who blamed the Government for apathy as regards labor legislation and also of appointing incompetent factory inspectors.The visit, which is an annual one, looked like an ordinary conference until Hon.Mr.Taschereau quoted from the resolutions adopted by the Labor Congress which met in Montreal last September, when the Government was censured for its apathetic attitude in the interests of labor.The minister of public works told the delegation he thought the Government was not deserving of such blame when it was remembered the Workmen's Compensation Act had been passed; that technical schools had been built and that many other things had been done in the interests of the working classes.CO RM We solicit your orders for NEW CORN in car lots delivered at any station, and guaranteed

they differ from one another In their demands upon the soil, both chemical and physical; they differ with regard to their root system, depth of feeding, their moisture requirements, their time of feeding, their dates In reaching maturity, etc.Many plants Impoverish the soil; a few enrich It; some spoil its physical conditions, while others Improve It In that regard.Many crops favor the growth of weeds, while others either are able to hold the weeds in check or require such cultivation and treatment as will prevent their growth.All these differences fit plants for different places in rotation, and a well-arranged rotation is one in which the strong points of one crop follow so as to fit into the weak points of another, or vice versa, and in this way reduce deficiencies to a minimum.A crop that requires a large amount of one element should be followed by one that requires less of that element and probably more of another.A shallow-rooted crop should be followed by one that Is deeper rooted, so that plant food which may have escaped the shallower roots may be caught by the deeper feeder, and that the nutriment In the soil may be used to a greater depth.Crops that are exhaustive te the soil should be followed by a so-called soli restorer.And crops that are conducive to the growth of weeds should he followed by a weed-destroying crop.for a Horse Save a horse and you won\u2019t have to buy one.Don\u2019t sell or destroy any horse on account of Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Curb,Sprains or Lameness.Spend one dollar for a bottle.KENDALL\u2019S SPAVIN CURE has saved a great many horses \u2014 has put them back to work, even after they have been given up.Over 85 years of success have proved its value.Mr.J.M.O rondin of 8L Lin.Quo-wri ws;

they are as nourishing as they are savory.They are Ugh agreeable to the palate, and suitable to the most delicate stomach.This U why they are given to invalids in France.Only the hind legs are eaten, and these are cooked in almost as many different ways as omelettes.They are usually made into a stew or fried in the pan by the working classes in Paris.Exquisite nourishing scups are also made in France from frogs.The demand for frogs Is greater with Provincials than it is with Parisians; the reason for this is attributed to the fact that Parisians are becoming more dainty.Frogs are next to unknown both in Nonnandy end Britanny; in the north of France, the quantities of frogs consumed chiefly by the well-to-do classes, are enormous.Whereas only the legs are eaten in France, in Italy and Ger-1 many\u2014noted as frog-eating countries *\u2014the animal is consumed whole after being previously skinned and cleaned.In the south of France frogs arc reared in special parks oyster-fashion.Men From the Tower of London Art Stationed Outside the Bank During the Night Fcr over one hundred and thirty years a company of guardsmen, in charge of an officer, marched every evening from the Chelsea or Welling ton Barracks to the Bank of England.This was changed, however, and the nightly guard for the Bank of England is drawn from the guards stationed in the Tower of London.If the visitor to London waits by the bank any evening, at half-past six o\u2019clock he will see about thirty men in the charge of a lieutenant and two sergeants marched up in parade dress with fixed bayonets and loaded ammunition belts.These are the only troops that may march through the city of London with fixed bayonets.The men themsel ves like the duty.When they march back to quarters, about seven o\u2019clock in the morning, they may do as they please for the rest of the day; and they receive an extra shilling a day from the bank managers.Each man also has a pair of fine blankets wherein to wrap himself while he waits for his turn to go on guard, and in winter big fires are lighted for them.They have generous refreshments provided for them, and the officer in command has a dinner for himself and two friends.In the daytime another curious survival of the past is to be observed.Although detectives guard all the doors, the old uniformed beadles are also paid for the service.From the standpoint of efficiency, these officials are very much in the way, but as long as the Bank of England has been in existence the beadles have policed IL The custom of providing a little garrison for the bank dates back to 1780, when an attack was made upon the bank by a mob during the Gordon Riots.It Is said that in the fight that ensued between the rioters and the clerks of the bank, the latter melted their metal Inkpots for ammunition after their supply of bullet* had given ojit EAST FARNHAM.Mrs.Laurie Rogers has been quite ill with la grippe.Mr.Carl Wilkins, of Montreal,guest of Mr.and Mrs.Martin Collins last Tuesday.Master Ralph Collins accompanied him back to Montreal for a few days.Mr*.George Hawk, of Mansviile, spent Tuesday and Wednesday with Mrs.Banfiil who was ill with a severe cold.The old French school building is about to be moved to AdanosviUe, Aged Fire Heroine Mrs.Grace Jones, a septuagenarian, residing at Ebecexer, near Carnarvon received two awards (one of $25.00 from the Carnegie Hero Fund) for ar.act of conspicuous bravery.In the middle of the nl^ht, fire broke out i: the house, where the only occupant: were the old lady and a lodger.Mr-Jones endeavored to arouse the lodge\u2019 whose room was full of smoke, be the man slept so soundly that h! rescuer had to drag him out of be and take him downstairs to a plac of safety.Btrwtchfng Po«t For Hog* If a hog knew how to tell hi* wants he would demand a scratching post for himself.A successful hog-grower adopte this plan.Firmly plant a hickory or oak post four inches in diameter in the hog run.Coil a rope around the post as high as a ho,?stands and staple it on securely.Thee thoroughly saturate the rope wit: crude petroleum and It becomes an Ideal scratching post for hogs and pigs.They will rub against it con tlnually and oil Is fatal to vermin Kerosene can be used but It evapon ates too readily.Give the Customer Benefit of the Doubt Flrat Principle of Good Marketing In marketing eggs the highest prices can be obtained in supplying a retail trade.This is also one of the most satisfactory trades to cater to and is easy to get There are hundreds of families in every large town or city that are looking for the person who will furnish eggs regularly each week the year around at several cents above the retail store prices.The largest profits must come from superior marketing, and from special market advantages in selling eggs and stock- A difference of only a few cents a dozen makes a large increase In the income when several hundred hens are kept A neat package is a very good Investment An attractive shipping crate has much to do with fixing the product The person who will take tha trouble to prepare a neat package may be depended upon to be equally careful and painstaking about the quality of the goods which he puts into It.The first principle of good marketing Is to have good quality to sell.Quality sells itself.A fancy egg should be new-laid;
