HOW ABOUT PLATFORMS
Under the primary election law w'n I
going to prepare and put forth the plat
forms of the various . political parties?
This is a question which is . causing a
great deal of discussion at this time. There
is no convention for the purpose of adopt
ing a platform and no provision made in
the law for submitting a p'atform or any.
thing of the kind to voters. It is not to
be presumed that each voter will write a
complete platform on his ballot when he
goes to vote. Baker City Herald.

Let's see, if we pay $1.60 for milk
containing B.76 solids, at the
same price milk containing 16.25
solids should sell for $2.60, or you
can to every three quarts of 6
