I Your Problems jj
B. M.: According to the Vogue Book
of Etlquet, a really ample wardrobe
for the average well dreaeed woman
would Include a plain costume for bad
weather, with the proper rain coat, an
unspollablw hat and wash leather
gloves; from two to three smart, sim
ple frocks, either worn with their own
coats or some overwrap; several hats
which owe their chlo to their shape
end trimming, rather than color, so
that they may be worn with any of
the gowns; a deml toilet, that is, a
sort of half-dress suitable for quiet
dinners at home or at a restaurant; a
tea gown which can be put on at 5
o'clock or worn, if need be, for din
ner; a formal dinner dress, or two,
and several dancing dresses, which
may also serve for dinner or the opera;
k yi handsome evening cloak, and per
'liaps a plainer one for rainy nights or
wear in the country. A fur coat is
a convenient luxury, but the loose
wrap with a fur collar almost takes
[tl place, as well as that of the ulster
or traveling coat for motoring or
ocean travel. Shoes, slippers, gloves,
veils, all the changes of underclothes,
and the dressing sacks and dressing
gowns must be taken Into account,
hut such a collection need not be made
at once. A wise selection of quiet
colors nnd not too unusual models
make it quite possible to keep a good
background of clothes, supplemented
only by the few new ones required
each season.”

Dear Miss Allen: I am very much
In love with a gtrl who lives In an
other town, but I don’t know whether
she cares for me or not. I have told
her how much I love her, hut she
has never told me that she loved me.
Every time I wanted to take her any
place she seems to have some kind
of an excuse. I always try and show
her a good time the beet way I know
how, and she always tells me what a
good time she hae had. She never In
vltes me in, even though It Is early
when we get home. Should I ask her
whether I can come and see her or
should I wait till she asked me?
TROUBLED.
It Is hard t osny from this distance
whether the girl doesn’t wish to en
* courage you, or Is merely trying to
be coy. If you wish to get Inside the
house, why not ask her If you mny
call? That will bring the point to an
Issue. My advice would be Just to
stay away from her a while, showing
no Interest. If she cares for you, she
' will be a little more eager to ncccpt
your n«-’*t Invitation when it does
come. _____
B. VV : If you haven’t been nble
to find a wife that suits you by per
Ronal selection, I am very much afraid
ibat 1 would be unable to please you
"by mall.” Finding a life partner Is
much too serious a matter to be him
In such a way. I hnve turned

Milk Prices
In Town and
Country
We sell milk testing 3.6% butter
fat for 11c a quart retail. For a
quart of milk the producer gets
about 3Vfcc at his door on the farm.
The producer’s share of a loaf of
bread, a peck of potatoes, a can of
fruit, a dozen apples, a piece of
meat or nearly every thing else that
we know of, retailed in small quan
tities is less than this proportion.
Check up with your grocer and with
farmers whom you know and you
will easily find that nine-tenths of
the things you buy are handled on a
wider margin, when this margin is
figured back at the farmers’ door.
We do not usually publish figures
such as these for they always create
a sensation. Only To bankers and
to creditors do middlemen look the
same as do producers. It is easy to
convince anyone who shares no part
of our risk that out of this wide
spread we can make a lot of money.
Statements have recently been
made in milk producers’ meetings
and published without verification
in all the Omaha papers placing our
net profits at several times what
they actually are. And out of it all
what will come? What always does
come in such cases? A few years
ago several hundred farmers in this
locality operated a pasteurizing
plant of their own in order to cut
out this big profit. The consumer
still had to pay the price and the
farmers’ company went bankrupt.
These things frequently take place
in other cities, but the condition
does not and can not improve ex
cept as we in business develop more
efficiency. Our firm at Lincoln at
the present time is selling milk at
ten cents a quart because wte have
a larger per cent of the trade, and
I there is less duplication in sendee.
We save there on delivery alone 4-5
of one cent per quart. Our delivery
cost here is .033 cents and at Lin
coln .025 cents per quart.
As to prices in the country. Milk,
such as we sell testing 8.6%, costs
delivered at our platform $2.05
per hundred pounds. This is more
than 4V*c per quart. We buy all
the milk our farmers bring in
whether we need it or not. More
milk is produced this time of the
j *
year and the city consumes no
more. The surplus has to be divert
ed in some other channel of trade
and for it we pay the farmers more
than we actually get, allowing
nothing for the cost of handling.
This milk is worth to manufacture
into cheese or butter only about
two-thirds of what we pay.
We were asked by producers Sat
urday to raise the price to con
sumers. This would not be a wise
thing to do with the market already
overloaded. A higher price would
reduce consumption leaving a still
greater surplus. Instead, we are ad
vising our farmers to separate a
part of their milk on the farm until
•conditions change. For the last two
years prices have advanced in July.
Just when they advance depends
on the weather and the condition of
the supply. We can pay this year
the same price we paid last year at
this time with no hauling charges
if we are not asked to handle too
much surplus.
It is necessary for us to buy of a
large number of producers to pre- j
vent a severe shortage in the fall.
Every time we are short, we must
take on more producers. These
new producers help to overstock
the market when conditions change.
A more uniform supply would be
the greatest help toward a uniform
price. Farmers can help us get a
more uniform supply. We are obli
gated both to producer and con
sumer. Both are necessary to us
and both must be satisfied to insure
the success of our business. We do
all we can for each while working
for more efficiency that will enable
us to do more.
In the worst period of our short
age last fall, our producers in this
territory supplied us with less than
24,000 pounds daily. From those
same farmers we are receiving 50,
000 pounds and the supply is still \
increasing. We are buying in all,
55.500 pounds daily at the present
time, and our ability for handling
surplus will not exceed 60,000
pounds. We are adding 10c per
hundred to our producers’ price
May 21. We agree to do this pro
vided our farmers do not send in
more than 60.000 pounds.
