chfifch. who* the Homan p a rt/ had
for lta champion« A filbert, bishop of
Dorcbeeier, aud W ilfrid, a young
Saxon. 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.

General Plan for Marketing
of Fluid Milk
1, 2, 3 and 4. 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

In this territory a seasonal surplus

the regular ndlk price only for their
"basis production." The amount de­

duction. I f he delivers more In say

Pittsburgh dairymen have a dupU-
cate of the Philadelphia plan. Balti­
more. Washington. Cleveland, Ctndn-

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

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

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

" I know you a rt not Mr. Hanson."
Hartford was so surprised that for
the moment he could not tell his own
