SAYS MILK UNIT Is FAILURE
TRUE NOW
II r u S II WAY S
AND w H f E LIS
Some Plain Facts for the
Dairyman
3 FRANK PELTRET

The report of Mr.. Bates, chair
man Of the State Dairy Bureau on
the wrecking of the Keyes CO.
operative creamery by the Milk
Producers association reads like
a chapter out Of Ida Tarbell's
history of Standard Oil. 1t would
be hard to find anything in the
annals of any of the trusts that
would better emphasize those
methods that have brought them
into general condemnation.
:.s*
The Keyes dairymen, it ap-
pears from the report were satis-
fled with the success that had
attended their cooperative eff
forts. They had a creamery
which they had built up with
their own efforts and money.
They did not see the necessity tor
another creamery. In order to get
them into line they were promis-
ed the help of the Association,
the possibility of which were
painted in glowing colors, if they
as a matter of form, would sign
the contracts and notes. The
promises to them were not kept.
Mr.. Bates reports that as a re-
suit they lost their entire in
vestment in their plant which
they were forced to sell for just
enough to pay existing liabilities
for cream delivered in the prev
ious month. After this settle
ment the plant was dismantled
by the Association and machin-
cry moved elsewhere. The Huns
did no more in 80 per cent of
Belgium than was done in the
name of cooperation to this de-
voted band Of co-operatOrs.
There has been no delial of
these facts. There has been no
answer to this report of the
chairman of the State Dairy Bu-
reau. If the name of the plac in
which the outrage had been done
had been Ell Centro or Holtville,
or Imperial instead of Keyes;
if you, Mr.. Dairyman had been
one of the victims what would
be your feeling toward an organi-
Zation that first deceived and then
robbed you of your property?

PARENTS AGREE
UPON CUSTODY
OF MINOR CHILD

The attorneys in the case of Hatch
ell VS.. Hatchell, in which Mrs. E. l..
Hatchell is suing her husband for di-
vorce on the alleged grounds of de-
sertion, this afternon filed stipula-
tion with the Superior Court, setting
forth the couples desires in regard
to minor child, Elizabeth.
According to f. r. Utley, attor-
ney for the defendant in this case,
Mrs. Hatchcll sued her husband for a
divorce in the east and the decree was
denied Shortly afterwards she came
west and filed another suit in Oregon
but left that state before the suit was
heard.
While in San Diego t is stated, the
woman met and married J. w, Per-
kins. This marriage was annulled by
the local court in May At that time
Mrs. Hatchell or Mrs. Perkins stated
that she had received word that
Hatchell had secured a divorce from
her and that she thought she was
free to marry again.
Soon after the annullment of her
marriage to Perkins. Mrs. Hatchell
filed divorce complaint against
Hatchell.
In the stipulation filed today the
parties have agreed that Hatchell
shall provide all the monies necessary
for the clothing and accessories for
the child and that the child shall re-
main in the custody of her mother
with the exception of seven days q
month. The mother valves all claim
for alimony and agrees to support
the child with the exception of cloth

Notwithstanding the statement Of
the Board Of Supervisors, that the
sole purpose of the contemplated plan
to double assessed valuations in the
county is to make the bonds which
the county has just voted more at
tractive to bond buyers" generally
see in it a notice that they may look
for sharp increase in their tax bills
after the county budget IS made up
and the rate fixed. The fact that in
crease in valuations has heretofore
not been attended by any decrease in
the rate is, in part, responsible for
this apprehension. ,a.o

A FATHER IN ISRAEL,

Rev. F. NJ. Jordan, of Calvert, Tran
sylVan1a county, is rounding out his
| e1ghty-ninth year, seventy-five have
been spent in active service for his
Master, a longer period of time than
Is allotted to most people in this life.
He has preached the gospel, in its
}beauty and simplicity, faithfully for
slxty-fiVe years. His field has nov
been confined to North Carolina, which
ne has covered from the mountains to
the sea, but extends into Georgia.
Tennessee, South Carolina and Vir-
g1nia. Within the bounds of these
states the venerable Baptist divine
has baptised no less than 5000 people
and brought hundreds of others to a
knowledge of the Truth.
The personal life and habits of this
aged Father in Israeli ought to serve
as an inspiration to the young men of
the present day. 1t has often been
claimed for him,-and not denied
that he never used intoxicating liquors,
or tobacco, never played cards, never
swore an oath, never was in a theatre
or ball room, and married the first
girl he ever courted. To any one who
will produce better record than this
W will give a years subscription to
this paper free.
But may we be pardoned for just a
word aside? This veteran soldier of
the long ago is now a great sufferer
from a virulent form of rheumatism
and is almost helpless. During the re-
cent flood he lost his entire ,crop-the
finest he ever raised. We do no:
know if he is in actual need, but, In
consideration of his long, useful and
laborious life, his age and inirmities,
and the loss of his crop, would it not
be fitting to start out the new year by
giving this fine old man a genuine
pounding" Of the old time variety.

NATIONAL THRIFT DAY.

We have been asked at times II
point out the distinction between Ma,
tlonal Thrift Day and other HOLIDAYS
Not a difficult task. It is principals
q matter of the direction-most hoIi-
days look backward. National Thrift
Day looks forward
Several days in the course of the
year are set aside for commemorative
events that have passed-the birth
day of hero, the happening of some
great event, or the devotion and sac
rifice Of those who have served the
Nation in years gone by. All this is
commendable and proper.
But therein lies the difference be-
tween most holidays and National
Thrift Day, for each successive Feb
ruary Sd is in itself day of accom-
plishment-an accomplishment not by
the other fellow, but accomplishment
by ourselves.
We may commemorate and celebrate
progress made as a result of habits
started on National Thrift Days gone
by; but the big idea-the leading num-
Der on the programs action this
February Sd, with a view to further
progress, beginning now and extend
ing into the future.
Somewhere, some oportunity for
betterment has been neglected. 1t is
true of every one of US. There is a
chance to save something that has
been going to waste, or to use time
and energy in ways that will be more
and that will assist us in
getting ahead.
National Thrift Day is the time for
and. for, putting on
some act Of Thrift which shall
be the beginning of a year round, life
long habit of the kind that brings ma
terial rewards. Self-confidence, born
Of accomplishment, financial indepen-
dence, springing from the regular
habit of putting something aside, in
prosperity through added
health and knowledge-theSe are the
things sought for and attainable |
through the intelligent observance OF |
