Ever since the organized public
campaign against tuberculosis began,
doctors and health teachers have
sighed for a greater opportunity OF
curing the disease in higher per-

sured they could do with earlier dag
nosis of larger number Of cases. For.
as is well known nowadays, consump-

ease provided the proper treatment is

VETS ENDORSE Phillip
F irst District Liquor Men Go
On Record Against the
Democrat Nominee.

Racine, Wis.-Another convention
of the liquor dealers of the First con-
gressional district will be held at Bur-
lington Wednesday because many
members of the association through
out the district were unable to at
tend the convention Sunday. When
the delegates arrived at Burlington
Sunday noon and prepared to open
their convention in the hall, they were
notified by the chief of police that a.
public gathering could not be held
in any hall, as instructions had been
received from the state board of
health, on request of the Racine Min
isterial union, ordering officers to pre-
vent any such meeting, and an OPEN
air meeting was held at Brown Lake,
a short distance from Burlington.
Because the slate of candidates to-
be supported by the liquor dealers
was not completed a second meeting
will be held at which time it will go
on record as supporting candidates for
d1O 1CSlOldU1VO OLl1OC1O hAOWA

terests. 1t is understood that the
meeting Sunday agreed to support e.
L. Phillip for governor against Henry
Moehlenpah, Democratic nominee and
that in the Third senatorial district,
Robert Hurley, Democratic nominee,
will be supported against George Buck.
Both OF these candidates are from
Racine. No agreement was made on
whom to support for member Of con-
gress, there being three candidates;
Henry Allen Cooper, Racine; Indepen-
dent; Clifford Randall, Kenosha, Re
publican, ahd Calvin Stewart, Keno
sha, Democrat. There is opposition
to Mr.. Cooper, but the liquor interests
have been unable to agree upon which
one to support. Milwaukee Journal.

WHY HOG MARKETING IS
TAKEN Up BY FARMERS
FARM ADVISER SULLIVAN GIVES SOME REAS-
ONS FOR THE AGITATION
Banquet of Imperial Valley Hog Rasers Saturday at the
Oregon Hotel Will Be Followed by Formation
of Organization for Mutual Benefit.

The plan of organization will be
simple on as the strength of organi
cations of this kind depend upon their
simplicity. The obligations which a
hog grower takes when he joins the
department is that he becomes a men,
ber of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau; that he agrees to market his
hogs through the manager of this de-
partment or shall forfeit 10 per cent
of the amount of the product sold.
The expenses of the operation of this
department shall be paid by l per
cent commission, collected by the
Farm Bureau on the amount of pro-
duce sold through the organization.
This eliminates the payment of all
fees. BY this method a 200pound
hog is handled at cost of 30 cents.
Also, no man is asked to put out
money at a time when he is short of
funds. by this method The hog men
who join the organization elect five
directors to represent them. Every
man who joins the organization has
the same voting power. The presl-
dent of this organization shall be
elected by these five chosen directors
and shall automatically become di-
rector at-large in the Farm Bureau.
These directors shall chose sales
manager whose duty it will be to tend
to the marketing of the hogs. 1t is
his duty to send the hogs to the best
market. ell will be paid a stated
moderate commission for his services.
This is the outline of the plan of
organization. Under the plans Of
this organization the interests of all,
who Join will be carefully guarded.

Organization of Valley How Growers.

organization OF Ndliey hoW NIoWeiS.
The hog growers of Imperial Val
ley have fclt, for a long period of
time that the marketing of their pro-
ducts could be improved by organiza-
ton. They have felt that i, vas a
wrong principle to devote attention
to the production of pork while they
paid no attention to its marketing 1t,
many times being forced to sell at
loss, due to the fluctuation OF the
market, which fell, perhaps, just at
the time when the hogs were finished.
To successfully market product 1t
is necessary to get control of that
product first The farmers intend to
get control of the product by ergan-
ization. In the present age the lndl-
vidual man amounts to little as
commercial factor, but number OF
organized men amount to great
deal. For the purpose of founding
this organization, the hog men of the
Valley are to meet at free banquet
at the Oregon hotel, Saturday even
ing, May 4. at 8 o'clock. Every man
in the Valley who is hog raiser is
extended an invitation to be present.
This banquet is given by the lmper-
ial County Farm Bureau.
This organization is to be a de
partment of the Farm Bureau. 1t is
to be a reorganization for the simple
purpose of improving the condition of
the hog producer. The things it in
tends to accomplish primarily are the
following:
(a) To secure direct competition
among buyers of hogs.
(b) To eliminate unnecessary ma
chinery in assembling and marketing
hogs.
(c) To improve the quality of stock
sold.
Cd To secure prices on the basis
of quality.
(e) To find better markets for the
finished product.

LABOR SITUATION
IN TEXAS FIELDS

The labor situation in the Texas
cotton fields was somewhat of sur
prise. 1t was supposed that Texas
was more favorably situated as to la
Dor than any other part of the belt
This is mistake. 1t seems that Mex
leans were required to register under
the draft act. Thousands of those
who registered have gone back to
Mexico and will hardly return. Prob
ably because they are afraid to do so.
Then, the persistence with which the
agents of the government are keeping
track of every alien, especially on the
border, is having a decided tendency
to KEEP Mexicans out of the country.
1t is very evident that in Texas, as all
over the belt, the vital question is, not
the acreage that will be planted, but
the acreage that can be harvested
The demand is very limited for much
Of the cotton that is tenderable on
contracts and its transportation is
Gerry uncertain. Hence, it is natural
that this situation should be reflected
in the future market. Since funda-
defined and wholly unchanged, it
mental conditions, however, are well
would be safer to deal with this cur
rent situation of demand and trans
portation as temporary, rather than
as a permanent condition.

THRIFT CAR IS
APPEALING ONE

The average buyer of an automo-
bile is more or less interested in the
company that manufactures the car
they buy, and it is his desire to get
all the car that his money will buy.
Also he wants to be sure that the
car he bus tyoday will still be on the
market tomorrow, and that is one of
the many features of the WHY'S
Overland company. They do not
have to change their names or resort
to other such means to sell their
product, ana the one great reason
for this, says, Harry E. Clem, local
manager for the Overland, is that
they are the largest builders of mo-
tor cars in the world, that is, with
the exception of Henry Ford. Their
one idea, one great policy, is one ex-
ecutive organization, one factory man
agement, one purchasing unit. one
group of dealers and one plan to pro-
duce and sell the Willys-O Overland
line. The buying power is concen-
trated and the costs distributed all
over these cars, and so the real con-
servative buyer can readily see the
why-the Thrift Car-for the saw
ing on the production of these cars
is tremendous. Already the people of
the valley are beginning to realize
the necessity for being conservative,
and all are on the lookout for the
economy car-and the Valley is one
place where the farmer or dairvman
must have an automobile. 1t is a
genuine necessity to him, and in the
face of all this he must buy a car
that every time he starts for town
he will not have to take the family
bank roll along with him in order to
get back home. He must Hooverize
IN this respect as we'll as in other
things, so again comese the answer
to this: The famous Overland Thrift
Car.
