TWO MILK PRODUCERS GAIN ONE POINT Mayor Mitchel's Intervention Gets Concession From Commissioner Dillon. New York.?Prospects of settling the price controversy between the niiik producers and the big distributors here showed some improvement today. John J. Dillon, the State com missioncr of foods and markets, offered to waive a recognition of the dairymen's league and permit the i -- --- i - 1. .1 1 ...... u.suiouuns u> inaive Iimiviuuai luutracts with the farmers. Mr. Dillon insisted, however that the distributors pay the price demanded by the fanners?4.67 cents a quart for milk containing 3.5 per cent of butter fat. The concession offered by Mr. Dillon was obtained through the mediation of Mayor Mitchel. Heretofore the farmers have insisted that purchases be made only through the agency of Mr. Dillon as representative of their league. The Mayor submitted this proposition to the three big distributing companies today. Some of the officials of these companies said it would be a violation of the anti-trust law to make a price agreement such as proposed, and w< uhi he a restraint of competition. The district attorney declared that the distributors need not fear the application of tiie anti-trust law in this case. Fa in i 11 e T li real e n e d Meanwhile the city is receiving only about one-half its normal supply and the shortage is approaching ' a famine stage. Milk dealers assert- 1 ed today that they would he able to increase their distribution by receipt ' of milk from other than the usual 1 sources, hut those directing the figld ' of the farmers claimed that not more ( than 25 to .'50 per cent of the regular 1 i 1 i ( ^uppiy was neing received. Farmers in all the dairy sections of New York State and Northern New Jersey continued to turn their 1 milk Into butter or cheese, or to dump alongside the roads milk that dairymen attempted to take to sta- , ions for delivery in this city. >v o / NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree and judgment of the court made by his Honor Mendel L.

It started in 1889, when William F. Harnden, a Boston Yankee, published an advertisement in the New York and Boston newspapers announcing a new venture. Hamden had been a railway conductor, but his health was not good, and he began cudgeling his brains to devise some plan for making more money with less work. He hit upon the idea of carrying parecls between New York and Boston. As a railroad man he could ride free on the train between those cities. The newspaper advertisement, which was the foundation of a business which made great fortunes for n any people, ran as follows: "William F. Harnden has made arrangements with the Providence railroad and the New York Boat company to run a car through from Bostop to New York, and vice versa, four times a week, lie wilj accompany the car himself, take care of the small packages that may be intrusted to his care and see them safely delivered/' Harnden gave his office addresses as 1 Wall Street, New York, and 9 Court street, Boston. Harnden's "car" was purely a flight of the immagination, but it was prophetic of what was to come when express cars were to be operated on all the railroads of North America. A valise was quite large enough to hold all the parcels intrusted to Harnden's care on his early trips . Harnden lost $000 in his venture in the first six months. Then, thanks to persistent newspaper advertising, the tide turned. Harn den made himself useful to the New York and Boston newspapers by delivering to them the latest news, in advance of the mails. He was thus not only "the original expressman," but a hews bureau in embro.?New \ ork World. Dr. Lycurgus A. j WOODRUFF, | j ?O. P. T. D.~ ! sight *S3IPL3ft. J ist OFFICE DAY: Every Saturday.
