This to tal price of $5.73 per hundred weight for milk falls short of the $6 originally asked by the pro ducers group but Is an increase of 23 cents over the price they have been receiving.

"The whole question arose when the milk marketing admin-1 lstratlon lowered the minimum which farmers could be paid, Binder said, "Our price was cut from stl.u to $3.au, yet our pro duction costs continued to climb, At the same time, the distributors did not reduce the price of milk to the public, but continued to pocket tnai increased prom. Corrects Quotation Binder branded this situation as "unjustified and intolerable." Binder called attention to an ar ticle in Tuesday's News-Review which he claimed made the larm ers' group appear arbitrary In its request lor a price increase. Bind er said hut statement was to the effect that no more milk would be delivered to local distributors until i-'a satisfactory understand ing is reached." He said he was not quoted correctly, in that the statement was printed "no more milk . . , will be delivered unless the price demand is met." Ormond Feldkamp, co-owner of Umpqua dairy, advised the News-Review this morning that farmers were delivering their milk "as per agreement." IRVING VININQ DIES ASHLAND, Dec. 23.-t)-Irving E.

"In this beneficent work of Christian charity, we are pleased once again to recall that it may be recorded to their honor the cordial understanding and the valued cooperation of the people of the United States. In this generosity, so bounte ous and spontaneous, we recog nize with pleasure, and hold uo as an example to all, that good win wnicn, according to tne Christmas message of the an gels, gives glory to God and has tens the coming of peace on earth."
