j "Gimme a piece o' apricot an a glass o'
Tnlik," - said the philosopher of the pie
i counter, straddling a stool and sweeping
the platoons of pastry with his deep-set
eyes.
"Repeat slowly." said the, pie clerk as
he smeared Borne grease from his apron
onto a gray plate. "Didja say mllkt"
"Tour - ears served you aright," said
tthe philosopher. '
. "What's the matter with you an' cof
,fce?" inquired the clerk, sliding the called
.'for pie onto the plate and dropping it
"before the philosopher. ;
"Not a thing, my boy; not a thing,"
"said the philosopher. "Coffee an' I are
still lovers; but I'm gom' to buy a few
' glasses o' milk while I can still get it for
6 cents a glass. Some o' these days its
goln to, go up to 6 cents an' never come
down." ' ; . .
p "Come off," commented the clerk. . . r
"That's the truth," said the philosopher;
"an' I'll tell you all about it. It's this
'..way. The price o' milk is gradually tn
v'creasln' along with the high cost o' livin'
en" the high cost o' dylnV The milk price

come down, though it will go up again
'the following fall.
' "In" course o" time you'll hava to' boost
t1he .price per' glass or- else .use smaller
glasses or else Increase the amount of
water with which you dilute the milk at
present
"I predict that the retail price will go
up In Omaha this fall an' to some ex-

any increase, but several others said they
half expected one, but wouldn't say for

administration starin' us in the face it
looks to me as if they were goin' to be
a lot harder.
,,"My best Judgment is that the milk
man's quality o' mercy ain't goin' to be
strained perceptibly and the price ,0'
regular milk will go up to 9 cents a quart
if not more. The dealers will get even
tighter than they are now with their
ware an' the good, old-fashioned article
that bossy used to make so generously
will be more expensive. -
"The good old days when for a nickel,
a half dime, you could get a complete
quart with a layer o cream that you
could fold up like a quilt an' lift off
have passed into oblivion, there to re
main In seclusion with the gentleman who
poked William Patterson, the seersucker
suit, the hoop skirt, and their ilk. Even
the milk that is squeezed through a
wringer until It is blue In the face never
again will be. so devoid of pride as to
permit Itself to be knocked down to some
famishing 'customer for a paltry 6-cent
piece. :
"Just now milk Is selling at S cents a
quart; that is,' regular milk,; certified
milk, like guaranteed hose, 5 comes htgher;
It costs 12 cents. Even at these prices
some of the . lacteal fluid has so little
cream that the housewives, after skim
ming U In the usual way. turn It upside
down and skim it on the bottom. Thir
teen metal or pasteboard checks, or a
card, with" thirteen spots on it," are about
all you will be able to fcet for your hard
earned slmoleon. Then the milk man
expects you to take at least a quart of
milk a day and some cream, whether you
need It or not v If you don't satisfy his
idea of how much you should take he
uses toward you a tone and manner that
make you ashamed o' yourself for the
way you impose on folks.-
"As for the days of twenty quarts for
a dollar, It's worse than useless to think
of their ever returning; It's simply silly.
Time will come when the oldest inhab
itant, slttln' 'roun' the corner drug store,
who can remember'' when Delia Prlngle
was not Marring In her own company,
will be plumb stumped when asked about
the twenty-for-a-dollar days." ' '
"What's the cause of all this?" asked
the. pie clerk. ,;-..;, v' ' ' ; ","'

can't get the dairymen to tell you much.
None of theni agree on the cause,' though
they hitch pretty well on the effect ' This
Is how I've got it figured out. 'Cows arfi

lured' away from the green pastures an'
verdant . hillsides, where for years they
have been wont to nibble sweet an' ten
der tufts of grass' in ,the cool shade of
the weepln' willows, where many a i!mi

o' the fascinations o' city existence, they
have forsaken these pastoral scenes for
the gay life of the packln' houses an'
the stock yards. Those who In the
strength o their noble cowhood have re
slsted these temptations an', have re'
tnained on the old home place with
mother don't give as much milk as for
merly. The reason It that grass an' hay
are scarce, owing to the large number
of breakfast foods now on the market an'
the Increasing demand for such food.
"If the city man really wants cheap
milk he will have to get himself a regu

one who has strong In her soul the belief
of her Puritan ancestors that there should
be plenty of cream In the milk. He must
learn to milk her himself an keep her in

heard President E. Holovtchirier of the
-Board of Education and Superintendent
JE. U. Oraff deliver the annual addresses.
7 A' few teachers, off on vacation, were

Trend of Edncatlon.
Superintendent j Graff discussed the
trend of modern education to specialize
and answered the criticisms of the mod
ern methods, which. It has been said, are
top; uniform. '
He said that teachers could teach all
students the same subject, but they would
not all develop in the same degree. Men

- velop in the same manner as another, al
though taught In the -same manner.'
Using a "homely example" Superin
tendent Graff said many animals could
be turned loose In one pasture and ; eat
the same grass, but this grass would cause
wool to grow on' the sheep's back, hair
on the cow's hide and feathers on the
chicken, If chickens eat grass.

TAFT STRONGJN THE WEST
Frank Howell Says President Will

COL ROOSEVELT HAS NO SHOW
Ex-President Roosevelt, However,
is Stronger In California
District Attorney Back from
an Extended Trip
"President William Howard Taft will
carry the states of Utah and Colorado
by good majorities." This statement was
made by United States Attorney F. S.
Howell, Just back from an extended trip
through California, Utah and Colorado.
"While I was in Utah," said Mr. How
ell, "I talked, with many politicians in
that state and attended a few meetings,
and I can 'safely say that the state of
Utah will go by an enormous majority
to the president. Not only did I talk to
politicians, but to the ordinary run of
people there. They did not know who I
was any more than I knew who they
were, but no matter what subject we
started on, -it would soon drift around to
President Taft' ' r ;
"Roosevelt has no following whatever
in Utah, and to say that he Is simply
hated Is putting It lightly. In Colorado
the situation is almost' the same- only
Roosevelt has a trifle better standing.
Taft. will run first man In both these
States, with Weodrow, . Wilson, second,
and, in Utah Roosevelt will ' be lucky to
get even a small vote. I could not find
out why the sentiment against Roosevelt
is so jstrong, but It. certainly is' there. In
California Roosevelt will carry hands
down,, with Wilson and Taft competing
for second." '

Municipal Picnic
; is Declared Off by
the Committee
The municipal picnic . scheduled for
Thusrday, when all City employes were
to have been given a vacation, has been
called off.
Disagreement of -the committee on ar
rangements was the cause of the aban
doning of the plan to have a holiday for
all city employes, men and women. .' ,.
Richard Grotte, one member of ' the
committee is sick. Joe Butler and Vin
cent McDonough, the other members,
fgreed the picnio ought to be held at
Seymour park or Courtland Beach.
Further than that they couldn't agree.
The principal thing that compelled the
abandonment of the plan was Butler's
Insistence that bald-headed men be ' ex
cluded from the races.
At a Dahlman picnic some years ago,
Butler was fearfully beaten at every bald
headed contest by the mayor and remem
bering this he sought protection this year. ;

Memngitis Scare ,
is Exaggerated in :
Southern Counties
Advices from Phelps, Adams, Harlan,
Frontier and other counties In the south
ern portion of Nebraska are that horses
are dying from meningitis. The reports
are' apparently exaggerated. .
In Phelps county farmers have sus
tained some losses, but there is nothing
to Indicate that the disease is spreading
with any great rapidity. In other coun
ties through the south part of the state
and over the line . in Kansas, there have,
been a number of deaths among horses,
but nothing that has created any alarm
among the farmers.
According to the idea among the farm
ers the horge disease started at some of
the Texas army posts aboiit five years
ago and since then has been gradually
working north. Last season, the fanners
of Oklahoma and southern Kansas sus
tained some heavy losses, but the dis
ease in no Instance was so fatal as the
reports have Indicated.
Veterinarians In southern Nebraska and
northern Kansas have tried all. remedies
known by them, buthave been unable' to
stay the progress of the disease. While
some contend that It Is contagious, others
say that it Is not, In support of the non
contagious theory, they, point to many
