ing with him fully to keep the qual
ity and purity of milk at a high
standard. He said that more bacterial
counts are being taken this year than

ficial to the public.'
In reply to a question by Coun

price of milk between producers and
distributors. He said there was a con
siderable spread between the price
paid producers and that charged con

"The distributors still have a good
margin of profit and that la why the
number of distributors has increased
from seven to 13." Dr. Inskeep said.

DIFFERENCES OVER
To the Editor:
Some time ago you published a
letter about the annual achool meet
ing at Prospect that waa full of mis
takes, will you pleas publish the
following aa a correction:
The defeat of Mr. Boothby at that
time waa credited to tha Townaend
club who were aald to be peeved by
the charge made for the use of the
gym. I do not believe he loat one
vote on account of thla charge aa he
la a member of the club and aald he
waa very sorry It seemed necessary to
make tha charge on account of the
clauae In the achool law requiring
political organizations to pay for the
use of achool buildings. The Towna
end movement la non-partlaan and
has been admitted free of charge In
mogt'placea. ' ' . -
I am a member of the Townaend
club and have attended every meet
ing. I can and do say no action has
over been taken against Mr. Boothby
In a Townaend club meeting. He hss
many frlenda and relatives In the
club and they ara some of our beat
and most active workers.
There are members of the Towns-
end club who, with other taxpayers
and patrons of the achool, are op
posed to all tha old achool board be
cause they differ with them on
achool policy and not for any email
or personal reasons. One of these
points of difference waa the proposal
to vote a tax to build a new nign
achool and make other Improvement
In a one-year levy. Thla proved to
unpopular that tha vote was 10S
agalnBt and SO for. This waa and still
la the main Issue. I am told tnal it
la Intended to state the time the
bonds will run on the ballots but tha
county achool superintendent hss In
formed us that even In caae a atata
ment la printed on the ballot It will
not be binding a It la the privilege
of the directors to decide tha Mm.
the bonda will run.
Notices are posted for a bond elec
tion to be held August 30, aaklng for
130,000.00 to build a school-house, or
to buy a alte.or for other purposes.
No one can foretell the outcome, but
If the bonda ara defeated It will be
because tha taxpayers wish to know
how the money will be spent and
when they will have to raise It. The
needs of a new achool building, bet
ter plumbing and lighting, play ehed
and rcpalra of the bulldlnga we have,
books for our library, all are very
pressing and ara recognised by every
cie. Instead of all this we are given
a fine baseball diamond at a cost of
over 1,000.00, dedicated to the Pros
pect baseball team, and our amall
children's ptay-ahed haa been demol
ished to get It out of the way.
Bo It will be aeen there ara otn.r
grounds for disagreement in ui
achool election than Townaend. Tou
may be a good club member and
vote for or against bonda at Pros
pect aa you can vote for Roosevelt.
Landon or Lemke and be a good
Townsmider.
Thanking you for the epees, I am
Sincerely youra,
