MILK WAR IS AT END the directors of the two organizations met in Joint session Wednesday of this week for the purpoee of ironing out some of the difficulties of the milk district. "The assembly was harmonious and while no definite plans were made at the meeting other than the appointment of the joint committee it was declared a step in the right direction. " 'It is conceded by all concerned that the Milk Producers' association" and the Marketing company should act in unison for the best interests of the dairy industry,' the statement declares. 'It is needless to say that' men such as are organised in the Milk Producers' association will not sacrifice the best interests of the farmers for any selfish purpose.' "The Milk Producers' association was the original organization. Its members formed the Marketing company as an auxiliary organization to do its marketing. Then the Marketing company grew until the crash of two years ago, when the organisations ceased all connection." Winter underwear for all the family at Erickson's store.
