Baugh, of Chicago. The book is now on sale by the department stores in Chicago and is published by the International Purity association at 127 N. Wells street, Chicago. It was copyr righted in 1927 by H. J. Baugh. The book is gotten up in an attractive style with several illustrations and contains poems of varied and diversified character, some in humorous and others in a pathetic strain. His tribute to mother is a lovely one while other poems contain interesting lessons on life, and taken altogether the book is one well worth while, written in a professional manner. Quoting from one of the poems "Keep Young" he saysC, "When you begin to think you're old And fancy states, your friends are cold Then smile. Thoughts like these beget despair- Self pity also welcomes care, The clouds give way to sunshine fair, So smile!" The book also contains an interesting horoscope in rhymfe revealed by the stars for each month in the year and written by the author. The poet, who has written this collection of poems, has a cottage at Orchard Beach, where he spends the summers on Fox river and is known by many people in this vicinity. Mr. Baugh has been connected with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company of Hartford with offices in the Illinois Merchants Bank Building at 231 South LaSalle street in Chicago for the past twenty-five years. He is also a member of the Chicago Life Underwriters and the British American association as well as being an old Tribune man. That'he finds time to engage in a literary career in addition to his regular duties is evidence that he enjoys work of this kind.

At a meeting of representatives of the Milk Producers of the Chicago dairy district, held in the Sherman hotel, January 25, a report of the special committee, which was called to meet the dealers on January 18, .was given by the chairman. This report, showing how the dealers agreed to conference and then evaded it by not being present at the appointed time, so convinced those in attendance, that if they were ever to receive a Just price for their milk, positive action on their part was necessary. As a result the following resolution was passed without a dissenting voice. 4 RESOLVED--That we demand $8.00 per cwt. for our milk or withhold it from the market. The date of withholding to be determined by Feb. 1st.*' Meetings are to be held all over the district. If no meeting has been arranged for in your locality please get iu touch with the office of the Milk Producers Association at 9 South Clinton Street, (Room 706) Chicago, or phone Franklin 2826 for a date and a speaker will be provided. The following is the complete report and summary of the activities of the Committee of 17 as presented at the Hotel Sherman meeting January 25, by President F. T. Holt. Report of Committee "In attempting to work out a program, which might lead to a better price for the producers, we decided to secure a committee to lay the conditions in the country before the commissioner of health. "This Committee of 17 was posed of two from each county "We secured1 a 'meeting of this committee with the commissioner of health, during the last days of December. At that meeting the doctor claimed, that while he was in sympathy v,ith the farmer and his condition, this was not a matter for his department to settle; but a matter of business to invited and we expected they wduld attend. This was eventually done and two of the four, W. B. Wanzer company and1 the Borden company agreed tc consider the matter of attending, but did not attend. The Chicago milk dealers organization, through their representative was asked to attend, which invitation was accepted. Committee Enlarged "It was thought best at this time to enlarge the committee of seventeen, which had been made a permanent committee at the meeting of January 11, so as to include representatives of all the Bowman and Bordejjfolants In the inner district. "Again taking up the matter of the conference with the Bowman c. mpany asking them to sit in on this conference, they refused point blank to d° so, but finally agreed that they would meet a committee of their patrons. This we agreed1 to and the time was fixed for one p. m. the next day, January 18, at 10:00 o'clock, I called them again and tbld Mr. Metzger that they were on hand and would be up at their office at one o'clock. This Mr. Metzger agreed would be all right. "The committee of 25, all patrons of the Bowman company reached the Bowman offices at the agreed time, hut found no one to receive them except Doctor Peck, who seemed quite nervous. He took me info the office and stated that there must be some misunderstanding for Mr. Metzger was out, but if we would wait he would try to locate him and askedi me to explain to the committee. Doctor Is Coirteous "The doctor did not invite the committee into their office or directors room or offer them chairs, but left them out in the lobby to shift for themselves as best they could.

I finally told him that we had, In our office, many hundreds of signatures on petitions, asking that the Milk Producer's association immediately get into a conference with the Distributors and secure a better price for the milk. "We eventually decided that if such a conference was to be called', we would have to call it. "During this time we had found out that the so-called big fellows had formed a new association called the dealers council, made up of some 18 to 20 of the larger dealers. We also riacided that we would icall • each of these and invite them to this conference, which was set for Wednesday, January 18, in room 118, Hotel Sherman, at two o'clock p. m.
