Colman spoke first and argued that the custom of the church of Brit ain ought not to be changed since It was Inherited from their forefathers, men who had been loved of God. W ilfrid replied, "The Easter which we observe I saw celebrated by all at Itome; there, where the blessed apos ties, Peter and Paul, lived, taught, suffered and were burled.” Then he concluded, "Aud If, after all, tbnt Oolumba (the great Irish monk) of yours were, which I will not deny, a holy man, gifted with the power of working miracles. Is be, I ask, to be preferred before the blessed Prince of the Apostles, to whom our Lord said, “Thou art Petsr, and upon tbla rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It; and to thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of hen vent" Then, King Oswy, turning to Col man, demanded, “Is It true or not. Colman, that these words were spoken to Peter by our Lord?" Colman was confused and unable to deny It. He returned, “It Is true, O king.” “Then,” said the king, "can you show me any such power given to yonr Oolumba ?” “No,” was the answer. “You are both then agreed, are you not," continued the king, "that these words were addressed principally to Peter, and tbut to him were given the keys of the kingdom by eur Lord?" Roth agreed. "Then," said the king, “I tell yon plainly, I shall not stand opposed to the doorkeeper of the Kingdom of Heaven; I desire, as far as In me lies, to Where to his precepts and obey his commands, lest by offending him who keepeth the keys, I should, when I present myself st the gate, find no one to open to me.” Thus the controversy ended, much to the dissatisfaction of Colman, who resigned his see rather th io submit to the decision.

The astir» dlgtrtct, which include» »11 the state of Rew York and the northern part of New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania, is included in the fluid milk pool. A system of payment has been worked out by means of freight dif ferential by which the Inner-belt milk producers forfeit a small fraction of their market price, which la added to the lower price of the producer»’ product in the outlying district«. So In the East as In the West we find the fluid milk man paying a premium t o keep lower priced products off his market. The Dairymen'» league plan has been In operation only three years, but during the past year the league operated 123 manufacturing plants and 944 receiving stations and Its business averaged around $6,000,000 a month. Another metropolitan milk produc- era’ association that has become known throughout the United States because of Its outstanding success Is the Twin City Milk Producers’ association of St. Paul and Minneapolis, which was started In September of 1918. At least 90 per cent of the milk used In the Twin Cities ts co-operative milk and about one-half of this cornea In on big trucks which go directly to the dealers' plnnt; the other 50 per cent goes to the company's plants. There are 14 plants located within a radius of 40 miles of the city equipped to make both butter and cheese and with enough capacity to handle every drop of the milk thot Is sold. During 1922, 4,200 dairy farmer» of the district were under contract to deliver all their milk and cream to their local plants. The members av erage from 25 to 00 cents per hundred pounds more for their milk than the unorganized producer« Have Different Arrangement. Producers around New England cities have still a different type of co-operative arrangement Dairymen of five New England states. 20.800 of them in all, have formed the New Eng land M ilk Producers' association. The district Is divided Into 21 zones. In the largest city of each zone a com mittee made up of four local produc ers and one representative of the par ent organization bargain with the dealers In selling the members' asJlk. Boston being the largest city la th< district, acts ns chief arbitrator. Each member has signed an agreement to make the nillk committee of the asso ciation his agent In selling all the milk he produces. For this service the asso ciation receives one-half of one per cent of the proceed« The producers of the Philadelphia territory have been organized for some year«, but up until 1916 they drifted along unable to better their condition. A crisis in the milk situation that year resulted In the reorganization of the Inter-Stnte Milk Producers' assoc!» tlon. Then began the present era of collective bargaining. The association Is purely a selling agent. I t hasn't a dollar Invested in plants. It handles no milk. It Is simply the representa tive of 17,000 dairy farmers In Penn sylvar.ls. Delaware, Now Jersey and Maryland to bargain with the dealers of the Philadelphia territory In arriv ing at a fHlr milk price. For these services the dairymen pay a commis sion of one cent for each 100 pounds of ndlk delivered In this territory a seasonal surplus plan Is being used. Producers receive the regular ndlk price only for their "basis production." The amount de livered by a producer In October. No vember and December Is bts basts pro duction.

Cleveland, Ctndn- natl and St. Louie have for several years been operating on a bargaining basis, but they are now coming hy one route or another to the Chicago or New York Ideas. OHN M A R TIN swung his long black _ truck up to the loading platform of the local milk station. "Here's my three cans," he called to the mmager. “Three cans every morn ing from now on. I signed a market ing contract yesterday.” Three otter dairymen drove op and left their morning and evening milk ing, pocketed their delivery receipts and drove away. John watched while the local manager weighed the milk und carried the cans Into the cooled storage room to await the morning train. Three hours later the cans were un loaded at the Chicago freight depot Into the waiting trucks of the MUk Producers' Marketing company and hauled to the company's plant on South Canal street. Here the milk was tested and put through the processes of pasteurization. Three hours later It stood bottled and capped ready for delivery to Chicago consumers. Only ten hours before It was being strained in a farm kitchen almost forty miles out of Chicago. Six o'clock the next morning a white truck stopped at the back en trance o f a large Loop hotel. The white- clad driver lifted ten cons out of the wagon and carried them Into the sup ply kitchen. The next stop left five cans at the door of a nearby fashion able French restaurant. The truck belonged to the Chicago Milk Pro ducers’ Marketing company. It was delivering ihe milk that John Marlin and his neighbors had nauled to their local shipping station Just 24 hours earlier. It is very nearly “cow to table" service. This type of city distribution of pro ducers’ milk Is a part of an enormous mark» ting plan that the farmers them selves are building up around every great city. It Is co-operative market ing on a scale so large that dairymen o f a half-century ago would have mocked the suggestion. The co-operative marketing of fluid milk didn't get Its start until America began to build cities so big that there wasn't n lot left on which to picket the city cow. The cities grew too big for cows, but not for milk. So the farmers close Into the towns raised more cows and sold their surplus to their city neighbors. The cities grew still larger and the milking radius In creased accordingly. Farmers now lived too far o t to make their own deliveries. They shipped their milk In to the city dealer who handled the direct selling and delivering end of the business. Formed Associations. The dealers formed associations to aet prices and the dairyman didn't always get his Just share of the con sumer’s dollar. Then the dairymen Joined forces and fonned co-operative bargaining associations which would meet with the dealers and arbitrate prices. Sometimes the dairymen or ganised co-operative sales agencies and handled the selling end of their own business. This all came about slowly over a period of more than a hundred years. By 1922 there were 174 co operative milk marketing associations ranging all the way from loose bar gaining units to railllon-dollar dis tributing plants. There Is no one general plan for the co-operative marketing of fluid milk. The dairymen of every big district have worked out their own Individual problems; they have made an Individ ual plan to flt their own case. In the Chicago district a particularly unique plan has been put into operation; a was She a Passengyrf plan that could be used In any metro The mother was talking to her chil politan dairy district. It must be remembered that the dren about old people, and paying how dairy cooperatives are of two distinct everyone grew old In time, "I shall be an old lady some day," types— the dairymen of the metropoli tan district», that Is the fluid milkmen she said, "with white hair and wrin around our large cities, and the dairy kles and a cap.” There was a chorus of protesL men of the strictly rural district. In “Oh, no, mummy; you'd never be the remote dairy district each manu factured product la afTected little, or old I” Then the youngest girl looked up not at all by the other. This Is not true In the districts around large cities. thoughtfully. "Mummy," she said, "when th» Ark Here four belts—fluid milk, butter, condensed milk nnc cheese-are each was, was you?"

It was to eliminate the evlla of the interbelt Influence that the Chicago dairymen organized the MUk Produc ers' Marketing company under a four pool contract. By this plan the fluid milk man pays a premium to the but ter man in order to keep him off the fluid milk market.

Jack H artford did not recelv» the suggestion with much enthu siasm, but several hours later as he left Simmon»' room, the latter called after him, "Thanks, old man, you’re a .ruiup,” and Immediately sat down to scribble off a note to Ml»» Ramsay, accepting her Invitation. There was excitement In the Ramsay household rh en the note arrived. “Oh, »other, we must ba sure to have ev ery thing Just right. Think of enter taining the great Felix Hanson I I am so glad it happens to be Easter, too; we can get him to tell his fa mous Easter story. They say lie tells It so well. I t seems It was the first time hs had ever worn n frock coat. He was taking his best girl to church Easter morning, and the girl’s mis chievous young brother «lipped an egg, which had been colored but not boiled, Into the pocket In the tall of the coat. He never noticed It until he »at down. Then It was too late.” Jane laughed. "We’ll get him to tell that one." Hartford, masquerading as the fa mous young Felix Hanson was feeling ,i little warm. He pulled uncomfort ably at Ills collar which seemed sud denly to hove grown too tight. Across from him sat the lovely Jane Ramsay, beaming at him benignly over the zally decorated breakfast table. He <*ould easily understand why Bill Sim mons would go to any length to gain tier good graces, but why had he to be • he one let In for such a mess? I f ho were found out, whnt would this girl •hlnk of him anyway? It would ranke blm too ridiculous for apology. And en the ether hand, he disliked to think of letting so delightful a creature pass «*ut of his life with never an effort to win her. And certnlnly If she were to continue to believe him to be Felix Ilimron, a married man, there was no chance of his ever declaring himself, or even allowing their acquaintance to proceed further. The whole thing was very silly. Darn Simmons anyway. Jane leaned over the table, "Oh, Mr. Hanson, won't you tell us that per fectly screaming story about the Eas ter eggs?” “Oh, that, that, y-yes, Indeed," laughed Jack a little nervously. He looked quickly at Stmnions for aid. There wee no Indication of Intelligence on the laughing face of that gentle man, however, end for the moment Jack would willingly have killed his friend. But he would not be undone. Ills lively Imagination came to hie aid. "You sen," he began, "My mother wouldn’t give me any eggs to color for Easter, so I went around to all the coops In the surrounding neighbor hood and stole them. Mother didn't discover It until after I had them all dyed, and of course she was furious. T aka them every one back and put them where you got them,' she M id. And I did. The next morning when the neighbors went to get their eggs and found them all colors, they be lieved their chickens were diseased. There was no end of trouble and alarm before they learned what really happened." Simmons laughed loudly, but he was the only one present who did. Mrs. Ramsay and Jane exchanged question ing glances and began talking of other things. As he said good-bys. Jack could not forego pressing Jane's hand tender ly. 'Tin very glad to have met you. Miss Ramsay. I hop« I may see you again?" Jaue smiled. "Tea, I want to see you again, M r —M r.—what la your right name? You aae," aha laughed, " I know you a rt not Mr. Hanson." Hartford was so surprised that for the moment he could not tell his own name. He w a s . ___ enormously re- lleved, however, to find their rela- * lions might be put on a normal hast« ’ "Jack Hartford's my name," he said . at last. "And say, 4 when ran I come • up to see you." he ’ asked In an un-J dertone. £ "Perhaps tomor- 1 row,” she w h la-| pered.

"Well, old man, yon were wondertnL wonderful," said Simmons when they were alone. " I bet I stsnd see high with her now.” "Oh. do y o u r said Jack, and added In a tone of extreme politeness which lif t Simmons a little perplexed, ”1 am grateful to you for the opportunity of rendering that service."
