T. Bender announced today. The producers' committee includes H. 'C. Barlow, Hudson; D.

M. Bodager, Marshallville; C. M. Brattin, Seville; P. W.

Duchwalter, Dalton; M. Fox, Suffield; J. E. Harpster, Sharon Center; W. I.

Sennet, Seville; M. W. Smith, Ravenna, I. H. Steffy, Hartville, and Weldon Wheaton, Millersburg.

Will Discuss Price Nearly all of the milk dealers in the city will have representatives at the meeting. The price conference is held regularly each month on the last Friday of the month. "But the session today," said Bender," is unusually important because of the problem faced by every milk producer in this section, High cost of feed and scarcity of pasture has made the cost of producing milk out of proportion to schedule that has been in effect here and both dealers and producers recognize that a revision must be made." Any increase in the price paid to producers by dealers will be reflected in retail prices charged by the distributors and as a result Akron consumers can expect to pay at least one cent more a quart for milk beginning next month, Bender said. Some Places Helped In some quarters it has been urged that recent rains have revived pasture lands sufficiently so that dairy herds a can find adequate grazing, but leading milk producers insist that the damage already done to the feed surplus is irreparable. Elsewhere in the state, similar price conferences have been held or will be held, it is said, and while a boost in milk prices seems probable here, the extent of the increase will be less than in other parts of Ohio, CALL BRECKENRIDGE IN BALM PROCEDURE Ex- Husband Will Be Examined In Love Theft Deposition Hearing New interest was injected in the Breckenridge-Ross-De Witt heart balm tangle today by announcement that Cecil Breckenrid 226 Wild wood has been called to testify at deposition hearings in the offices of Attorney Stanley Denlinger Saturday morning.
