Under authority of the Postmaster General, on acocunt of recent
increases in wages to employes, totaling for the State of Oregon up
wards of $225,000.00, certain changes in exchange rates have been ap

range System So That Water
Comes Direct From Well.
The changes in rates apply particularly to residence service, chan
ges having been made in the principal business rates May 1, 1919.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
All new business taken on and after July 29th will be at the new
rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August win be
rendered at the new rates.
A toll charge will be made between Hermiston, Stanfield and Echo
commencing July 29th.
The increased rates will yield an
annual
revenue
upward
of
$250.000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of $225.000.00.
the net return to the Company under the rates now made effective is
approximately 212 per cent on the valuation of its property at $13,464,.
000.00, as found by the Public Ser vice Commission.
The new schedule of rates is identical with the one approved by the
Postmaster General for the State of Washington, which has been in ef
fect since March 1, 1919, and the rates are the same for exchanges that
are comparable.
We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of living and the
general high costs prevailing for labor and materials is necessary and
that the telephoning-using public will accept this increase in rates in
the same spirit of fairness and consideration as it has the advance in
almost every other necessity in these unusual times.
Milk may be cooled most efficiently
on the farm by running It over a sur
face cooler in which the available wa
ter supply Is used at its coldest tem
perature and the cooling completed by
storing the cans of milk in a tank of
Ice water. It Is possible In that wny
within a short time to lower the tem-
perature of milk to below 50 degrees
F. Frequently the water used for cool
ing milk Is not used to the best ad
vantage. Spring water Is sometimes
allowed to flow over the surface of the
ground and Is warmed several degrees
before reaching the cooling apparatus.
During the summer water from n stor
age tank above ground Is usually much
warmer than that drawn directly from
the well. It Is best, therefore, to ar
range the cooling system so that the
water which flows through the sur-
face cooler or cooling tank comes di-
rectly from the well or, If from a
spring. It is conveyed In a pipe well
below the surface of the ground. If
Ice Is used tn a cooling tank the quan
tity of water surrounding the cans
should be as email as possible to give
satisfactory results.
Space enough
should be provided between the sides
of the tank and the cans of milk to
allow for a sufficient quantity of Ice
and water to cool the milk properly.
If a large volume of water has to be
cooled much "more ice will be neces
sary. If It is desired to cool milk
quickly from an initial temperature of
about 85 degrees F. to one of 50 de-

MAKE AND USE STERILIZER
Necessary for Production of Dairy
Products of High Quality—Steam

(Prepared by the United States Depart

. Sterilization of dairy utensils is
necessary for the production of dairy
