CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Canaan Readers

For months Canaan citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Ca inaan residents. Would these promi- nent people recommend remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal ex- perience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Canaan reader.
 James o. Snyder, Bragg St., Ca naan, says: My kidneys had been out of order for some time and often had difficulty in passing the secretions. My back pained 9 great deal, too. When I stopped over, could hardly straighten up. After using a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Farnum 6 Co.'s Drug Store, I had no more kidney trou- ble." Statement given September

Animals Strong Inotinct.

Some animals are remarkable, in deed. for the wonderful development of love and devotion they possess and show toward men. They are so acute in the sense of their affections that they seem to perceive the feelings ot their master in advance of his eNpres- sions. Masters of dumb animals have often been heard to declare that their animals were quicker to detect in thei1 spirit nf anger than were their f"l- low men.

RIGHT To FIX
RESALE PRICES
COMMENDED
(By Associated Press)

Washington, July 12--vReneWed rec
ommendation that manufacturers be
permitted by law to fixe and main
tain resale prices subject to review
by a disinterested agency is made by
the federal trade commission in a
special report to congress. The laws
which have been interpreted by the
supreme court in the case against the
Colgate Company and other test
cases to prevent the fixing of resale
prices, should be amended, the COM
mission believes, to remove present
complexity in the business world and
to promote efficiency in manufactur-
ing and commercial institutions sery-
ing the interests of the consuming
public.
Under the commissions recommen-
dation manufacturers desiring to fix
and maintain resale prices would file
with an agency to be designated by
congress a description of their arti-
cles, contracts of sale and price
schedules to be maintained, and the
said agency would be charged with
the duty, "upon complaint of any
dealer, consumer or other party at
interest" to review the .eIn,s, con-
tracts and prices. The report says
unlimited power both to fix, enforce
and maintain resale prices may not
be made lawful with safety, but un-
restrained price cutting is not in the
public interest and tends to impair
the production and distribution OF
articles desirable to the public, and
there must be some common ground
to protect the rights of consumers
and producers.

While it is a well known fact that
a defendant has no come back at the
prosecutions witnesses in the court
room, still opportunities will arise
later in which the defendant may Sc
cure satisfaction to his own personal
degree of pleasure.
This is what happened in the case
of Wagner VS.. Wagner, a divorce suit
which was heard in the superior court
here last month At the trial, at
torney's for Mrs. Wagner placed upon
the stand E. jackson, who gave evi-
dence which was not substantiated
and which, met the disapproval of
John Wagner, the defendant.
Wagner and Jackson met in front of
the post office last night, and as a
result of this meeting jackson is to-
day nursing badly bruised face while
Jim Davis, proprietor of the barber
shop next to the postcffice, is order
ing new plate glass window for his
shop.
1t is reported that Wagner Smash
ed the stuffing out of Jackson" and
knocked him through the plate glass
in front of the barber shop. Wit
nesses of the encounter telephoned the
Sheriff's office and deputy Cummings
was detailed on the case. When the
deputy arrived on the scene of action
the crowd had dispersed. No arrests
were made but it is considered likely
that some action against the two will
be taken today.

(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July ia report of
alleged japanese atrocities in Korea
was made public at the headquarters
of the Presbyterian church today by
an American here, as a result of in
vestigations by the church represent
atives in Korea following the impris-
onment of some missionaries by the
Japanese authorities.
Hundreds of Koreans processing
Christianity are said to have been
driven by japanese gendarmes at the
point of bayonets into churches. The
Koreans were then fired on through
the open windows. The Koreans later
perished when the churches were set
on fire Most of these victims were
men. The surviving women and chill
dren are left destitute. Men were
often beaten to death and women sub
jected to shameful treatment. The
japanese police have designated that
all women favoring Korean indepen-
dence are social outcasts.
H. H. Underwood, a missionary, is
quoted as stating that on a recent
visit to Paltan, d market town, he
learned that the Japanese had burned
SO out of total of 40 houses in
Chayammi, two miles from Paltan, be-
cause the inhabitants were Christians,
and that Paltan escaped destruction
because there were no Christians
there.
The mildest punishment, he says,
inflicted upon Koreans suspected of
completely in the revolutionary move
ment is 80 blows on the body with
bamboo rods. Respectable Korean
women are not safe in their homes
and spend most of their time in the
hills, returning to their homes to
sleep. He reports that the arm OIL
one Christian woman was wrenched
from its socket.
The report quotes one Japanese
paper, the "Shimbum," as blaming
the American missionaries for the up
rising, saying that they "make the
minds of the Koreans bad by plant
ing in them the seeds of democracy"
Violent anti-American attacks of
other Japanese papers are quoted
and the charge is made that as the
press is censored the government is
morally responsible for such attacks
because the truth is prohibited and
falsehood and libel allowed, thus en-
dangering the relations of the gov
ernments concerned.

PRESIDENT I
vET0ES TWO
IMPORTANT
MEASURES
Returns to Congress Sundry
Civil Service and Agricul-
tural Appropriation Bills.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, July 12.-The presi-
dent has vetoed the agricultural bill
because of it's provision repeating the
daylight saving law. He also vetoed
the sundry civil service hill.
The president sent a communica-
tion to the house saying that the re-
peal of the daylight saving act would
be a great inconvenience to the coun-
try and result in serious economic
loss. He said the act has resulted
in great economies of fuels and en-
ergy. He vetoed the sundry civil
service bill because it contains clauses
which would nullify the whole pur-
pose of the vocational rehabilitation
bill and render it's administration
practically impossible. He says the
sundry civil appropriation of six mil
lion dollars for all expenses of re-
habilitation, including the support Of
disabled men in training, is insuffi-
Gent; that it was not enough to care
for those now in training, eliminat-
ing consideration of the other thou
sands seeking benefits Of the rehab-
ilitation act, and that such limits were
placed on salaries of men engaged
in rehabilitation work that the most
valuable men would be lost.

The case of the People yo. Graves
was dismissed in the justice court
yesterday afternoon on the account
Of the lack of appearance of the COM
planning witnesses, of whom Billy
Silver, publicity manager of the de-
funct Jacumba Springs Fourth OF

ness and assessed the court costs to

look after the affairs of Dee Turner

Based on the above the association advertses that
skim milk was worth more on July 9th than cream.
1t doubtful if propaganda such this strengthens
the hold of Hendersons theories and fictitious claims
among the darymen 1t is unfortunate that such matter
put with the official sanction of the local association
The fact is that the byproducts did not have value
Of anything like $2l8 on July 9Th And bear in mind that
when you are talking about byproducs and the profit
therefron the costs of hauling manufacturing and mar
keting cut a tremendous figure.
On july 9th casein was not worth anything like the
price quoted and the is true as to milk sugar and al
bumen. In short the aggregate value of hese byprod-
ucts July 9th not S2l8, as advertised by the as
sociation.
And mind you the cost of hauling and manufacture
no is much greater with products than butter and must
be deducted before you get at the real value OF sch
comparison ~
the claim that in one hundred pounds of whole milk pro-
duced July 9th the butterfat value was 90 cents Ca
fona Central Creameres that date paid in excess OF
so cents pound for butterfat and should the Imperial
Valley Milk Producers Association.
Another misuse of figures is the showing of 36
pounds of buterfa to the hundred of whole milk for this
time of year in Imperial valley conservative average
shows tests average from 3S to pounds OF butefa TO
the hundred pounds of milk. ,
Furthermore, Henderson's theories OF so-caed utl-
ty plants handling whole milk contemplate that one hun
ed per cent of the product will be taken care Of Ihs IS
ridiculous on the face of it. as any practical daryman
knows-because whole milk cannot be handled economical
y outside limited hauling radius.
To get this abuse of figures clearly before the mnos
Of damen here and show that at any rate, are
not Juggling with figures California Central Creameres
has today made the following written proposals to I'M
perial Valley Milk Producers Association, namely:
We have offered to sell the association three carloads

This offer stands open until July goth, 1919.
These by-products are worth much today as they

40 cents-he real worth of this product not to exceed
