How can you in the face of this
situation hold the opinion that the
dairy industry is in better position
than it ever has been?"
our inquirer has presented a fair
question and one that demands full
reply We appreciate that we are
passing through period of unrest
among an classes and especially the
laborors Of The cities There is more
or less discomfort among the produ-
rs who sell market milk. and there
is reason for their mental attitude.
In the Elgin district, to which our
correspondent refers, many farmers
have carried more cows than they
snould aud this made it impossible
to follow diversified farming to the
extent that they should and also made

GIVE $4,000 FOR ROBBERS
Abilene Banks Receive The Offer OF
State Association.

The Abilene banks have received
formal ontice Of the offer Of the Kan
sas Bankers Association for $4,000
for the capture on conviction Of bank
robbers, getting them dead counts rs
well as il they are alive.
The epidemic Of bank robberies in
the southwest has alarmed the bank
ers ana they haye taken drastic steps
toward getting rid of this danger. In
Kansas IN the past year thirty banks
have been robbed with a loss of $780,
600. very small part Of which has
been recovered. Many Of the rob
berries have occurred in daylight, the
bank being held up boldly and the
robbers making their escape In motor
cars. The headquarters OF the gangs
is in the large cities and one was
routed IN Kansas city with the re-
covery Of 100000 in Liberty Bonds
and cash.
As a means of putting n stop to
the growing menace the bankers oi
Kansas have raised fund and pro-
pose TO offer reward Of $4,000 for
every bank robber dead or alive
preferably dead This ought to get
results and is a practical way 10 oper-
,ate. While police officers theorcti-
cally should be MS vigilant without
rewards as with them. the cold fact
I is that Il big cash reward spurs them
TO extraordinary action when the
mere promptings of duty fail. II
will be considerable of prize both
for the police and detectives, as well
as for members Of gangs who are will
ing 10 betray their companions.
The custom of patrons in leaving
their Liberty Bonds in the banks fol
safe keeping has made many a coun-
TRY bank rich storehouse and N
every robbery is reported large por-
tion of the loot in bonds. 1t would
seem to be good business for Tho
country banks to arrange TO keel
these securities in city safe deposit
vaults and also to be prepared fol
quick action to get the robbers
alive or dead, preferably dead.

Overwork brings

them labor hours. Overwork brings
depression.
We know that the attitude of the
consumer and the daily press has not
been in sympathy with the producers,
and this has made them feel their
hard work counted for little and their
products were not appreciated. The
milk producers associations which
have been formed everywhere are
gradually bringing to the public a
better understanding of the produ-
GERS problems and placing their IN
dustry upon a business basis Fur
ther. agencies are at work informing
the consumer regarding the food valle
of milk and its products and their
Importance to the health and welfare
of all persons.
Ii must be borne IN mind that the
dairy industry grew into Importance
and holds large place in agricu'-
ture without these particular organi-
zations which we have mentioned,
with little or no cooperation upon the
part of the producers of market milk.
The advent of these organizations and
the cooperative spirit which has
arisen among the producers lead us
to believe the dairy industry is on a
safer ana better basis than 1t has
ever been This does not mean we
have no perplexng problems or that
we can reinquish our efforts in be-
Ihaf Of our industry But we are
better off with organization and CO.
operative spirit than we Were when
each producer worked for himself aud
with no agencies to advise the CON
sumner regarding the importance and
food value of dairy products and how
to deal unitedly with those purchas-
ing their products.

This procedure ON the part Of politi-
clans has been irritating and distaste-
ful to the hard working producer who
knows he is entitled to. Il larger re-
turn for his product and that his
method Of receiving a fair price for
his products was the only way he
could proceed, unless he sat back and
let the distributor have the full say
lnf determining the market price Of
milk
The very fact the producer de-
mands that he have something to do
regarding the marketing Of his pro-
ducts shows an awakening on his part
to his duties that cannot be rightfui-
~ held as being serious
The patrons of the cheesery and
Abilene weekly reflector., 1919-10-30

creamery, on the whole, are well
satisfied. Their style Of farming
makes the raising of live stock proiit-
able and affords opportunity to raise
many cash crops. These men are
finding large demand for cows and
Mt good prices. Their herds are not
so large and in most cases the family
takes care Of them. The herds mum.
Der from s to 90 cows and so far as
we are advised there is little dispo-
sition upon the part Of the creamery
and cheesery patrons to reduce theh
herds, although many buyers are de-
lmanding cattle.
The many sales Of purebred cat
Tie. which have been held this year
have had demand and brought
prices far greater than any one an
ticipated. It Is not question among
breeders or among patrons of cream
cries as to a market for their surplus
stock. but rather how can the demand
be supplied. This shows that farm
ers are entering the dairy business in
far greater numbers than passing out
OF II. Here again We have conditions
that lead to the conclusion that
dalrying is on better basis than nj
any period In the past.
We must not lose sight of the fact
that the dairy COW is not only the
most economical producer Of food, but
Of the most important food; that per
manent agriculture demands the COW
that she makes use Of feeds that
would he wasted without her and thai
her by products. whey and skimmilk
are valuable feeds for raising calve'
and pigs. Farmers everywhere ar'
realizing these factors. for they are
studying farm management with !
deeper interest since the advent OF
high prices. Further, the soil i
many sections is crying out for bet
ter treatment.
1t Is only when we survey thu
whole field OF dairying; observe IL
relationship to the soil and TO human
ity; observe the forces that bring th'
COW and her product into their pro
per places; observe the attitude of thu
patron and his progress; observe th'
large demands for dairy stock, tha
we can form an understanding ant
comprehend the situation of the dairy
industry -Hoard's Dairyman.

Asks Aid of workers.

Use your influence with your city
fathers, your selectmen and other
town officers to start at once muni-
cipal and town improvements. :"
This is the message which the De-
partment of labor is sending to wage
workers throughout the country.
The Secretary of Labor, Hon. w.
B. Wilson, has no fear as to condi-
tions after the readjustment period
is over. He believes that then every
thing will take care of itself. He
further is optimistic even as to the
readjustment period if states. cities
and towns will now commence pub
lie works to take care of the labor
slack which may exist during the
readiustment period.
He is therefore urging the wage
earning of the county to use their
influence in their own communities
to have school houses. engine houses,
roads. canal and other improvements
begun at once. Such improvements
are beneficial to everyone, can easily
be financed, and offer the greatest
for all classes of labor.

The Death of the Car.

1t is to be officially stated by the
Siberian government. after careful
investigation, thut the former Gar
and his family and remaining re-
tainers were murdered by Bolshevik
guards at Ekaterinburg, after every
indignity had been heaped upon
them. The bodies of the royal fam
lily were burned, it is said, and many
relics of them Were found in the
ashes, but no bones. Among the
relics shown is fine diamond that
had been sewn in the lining of the
robe worn by the Gzarina; and this
raises doubt of the conclusion as to
the death of these prisoners. A fire
hot enough to destroy all traces of
bones should have destroyed the
diamond also. 1t is possible there
fore, that the clothes and other be-
longings were burned and that the
prisoners were spirited away, the
impression being purposely left that
they had bean killed. No witness
of the actual killing has been found.

We should say not. It's the same

older today than it was yesterday,
and will be older tomorrow than
it is today. 1t is travel worn with
the iournevings of sinners, and the
throngs of tourists along that way
will increase as the death rate in
creases until righteousness under the
