THE MILK CRIME Tnla newspaper feels that la uncovering the operations of the '-mil- trust" In Lake county In its wanton destruction of thousands of gallons of precious milk dally by pouring It down filthy sewers, It has done a great service to the people of the middle-west and it la now up to the authorities to get busy. If the shameful wast of this baby food product is not a crime against human law It certainly Is against the Divine law and there oujrht to be some way of stopping it. How the perpetrators of this destruction can look a babe or a littla child in the face Is more than we can understand. The almost unbelievable raot that 60,000 quarts of milk, sufficient food to sustain a many starving women and children of Europe for twenty-fcur hours, are destroyed daily in Gary and Indiana Harbor is the raoet sensational disclosure of the kind ever made in Indiana- For years there have been stories of fruit rotting on the trees and potatoes spoiling in cars on Fide tracks that the supply might not interfere with the wholesale and retail prices. Orchards have been purchased in the blossom and the fruit left unpicked. It was outrageous that the farmer was not permitted by the buyer to touch the fruit. Nothing, however, has approached In brazen effrontery the wanton destruction of food by the Milk Producers' Co-Operative Marketing Company. At a time when half the world is starving and enforced Idleness has Imposed economy and conservation on the people of the United States, it is impossible to conceive of a great association of 17.000 members carrying out a program of food destruction affecting 6.000,000 customers In the Chicago district. The Kaiser's forces In Belgium were guilty of no such crime against humanity. Food at least was sacred to the War Lord. The Milk Producers' Co-Operative Marketing Company denies that the output of dairy farms of northwestern Indiana is destroyed in order to keep the milk off the Chicago market and enable the distributor to maintain high prices. The excuse of the' company U that there Is no market for the milk. The only thing saleable, the company says, is the butter fat and the ekimmed milk must be poured into the Bewer. Glva a hungry urchin a eKss of that milk. lie will drink it in gulps, glad for the nourishment It gives. Ask the farmer if it is net the best food he could give his hoa3 to fatten them and he will say that it is. Find out from the housewife the many uses she could make of it in cooking and of the dairyman the many by-products into which It can be converted such as cheese, milk-powder, condensed milk, etc. The excuse is too flimsy. It won't do. W. A. Kane Indiana manager of the company, admits himtelf that it wouldn't do to bottle the skimmed milk and sell It at 4 or 6 cent3 a quart. That would less he demand for the regular milk, he says. He admits that

the company is Interested In seeing the sale of 14-cent milk maintained and the admission carries with It the conviction that the company la not concerned about the thousands of people -who cannot afford to buy sufficient milk for the needs of their children at the present price of 14 cents. If the 50,000 quarts of milk are not destroyed each day in order to keep the supply down and the price up why is this tide of food stemmed before it reaches the Chicago market and poured Into the sewers? Is this great association of milk producers endeavoring to raise a crop of milk-fed fish in Lake Michigan? There must be some cause for the waste and all the evidence indicates that the one object to the exclusion of all else la that cf profit. What are we going to do about It anyway?

WHEN THE FAMILY ENDS THE NATION DIES Periodically we are greatly disturbed by the news that marriages are falling off and that divorces are on the increase. And then on the heels of this news thero comes numerous declarations as to how serious this evil is, and even more numerous suggestions as to how it may be speedily checked. No intelligent man or woman who will give any thought to the problem needs to be told how serious it Is. It menaces practically everything we hold dear In our social order. It touches not only the lives of those immediately implicated; it involves somehow the very foundations of society. It means that In something fundamental to our social welfare and happiness we are not succeeding as we ought to. Nor will any intelligent man or woman close his ear to any of the many suggestions which will presently be given as to how the solution of this problem must be approached to be effective. W e shall be told that it ought to be made more difficult to get married, and less easy to get a divorce. We bhall be told that the problem is not merely an economic one, although It Is that too In part; they will say that It is Individual in

so far aa anythnlg can be individual; and they will tell us that it is also a social problem. In the meantime there are those who have given much thought not-merely to the present situation, but

to the historical aspect of It also, and the conclusions

of these thinkers may be worthy of consideration. They tell us that the family is the basic unit of civilization; that where any community or nation has

clung to this basic family unit, its progress has not been endangered, and where the integrity of the family

unit was assailed, there decay was Inevitable.

The historical significance may be clear to every

one; but more clear even than that Is the logic of It.

It is within this little group that the Ideals are de-

, veloped which are so necessary to human progress and

permanence; and it is through this group that these Ideals are maintained. When for any reason the in

tegrity of this group is threatened, we are told, then

all civilization Is threatened, for, it can not be too of

ten repeated, the family is the unit on which the whole

structure of civilization is built. In proportion as we can bring ourselves to realize the Importance of this fact; In proportion as we can keep out the theories of this or that, or fads of one kind or another from our thinking about the family, in that proportion we may avert the dangers of which the Increase of divorce and decrease of marriages is only a symptom. Whatever can be done in the home or by any other educative Influence outside of the home, to

keep before us the fact that except as we maintain the

family intact the outlook is a dark one this is worth

doing. No nation can continue to be great, except its greatness Is based on an enduring family relation.

Coal Facts No. 3 Last week we warned the readers of our ad. of the increasing shortage of hard coaL Since then we have received notices of increase in priaj of hard coal amounting to 25 to 50 cnts on the ton. Day before yesterday (Wednesday) Gov. Sproul of Pennsylvania signed a bill imposing a tax of z per cent on coal mined after July 1st Production of soft coal is down to a point where the cost of operation of mines is becoming burdensome, in other words, it costs no more to run a mine at full capacity than at half, and unless the demand for coal increases, the operators must increase their price or shut down. It is impractical to store coal at the mines as either the mine is located on a hill side, or the ground above is cultivated farm lands. To provide storage space elsewhere would mean additional handling and freight and would add a considerable amount to the price of coal. The best and cheapest storage space is at the point of consumption (your coal bin). You not only have, in the aggregate, the greatest storage capacity, but the best and most economical. Next week we will give you more reasons for laying in your winter's supply, but in the meantime: BUY YOUR COAL NOW from a legitimate coal merchant, and get a signed weight ticket with every load. Don't accept coal weighed by a teamster's guess. If there is any doubt, call the City Sealer. Our prices on coal are now as follows: "Old Ben" Genuine Franklin County, lump or furnace sizes, single tons $8.50 5 tons or more, per ton 8.00 Central Illinois Coal, lump or egg Single tons .$7.5) 5 tons or more, per ton . 7.00 Chestnut Hard Coal, per ton 15 7?
