The ARTICLES Of Incorporation" are
OH file in The Press office and are al
the disposal of any of our dairymer
friends who want to know what the
local unit has really affiliated itself
with and why Henderson is starting
with the modest little contribution OF
$4,000 per annum from each of his
branches-exclusive of he "heavy as
sessments" mentioned by Allison Peck
A full reading of the text of the
powers and purposes of the state COM
bine will convince any dairyman that
in its preparation Henderson had the
same seven wise lawyers working,
who put together the "hide-contracts." J"
The principle is the same, the only
difference is one of detail. With the
contracts, Henderson was out to ''hide-
bind" the dairymen to the unit.
Whereas with the articles of incor-
poration Of the state combine, the
seven elever lawyers are out to "hog-
tie" the units to the state organiza-
tion. d -,A
: The Press hopes that Henderson has
failed of his purpose in, hog -tieing the
units just as we hope he has failed in
making his bonding scheme stick in
Imperial valley.
But just how free is the local unit?
How quickly can it get out of the al
lance with the state combine? If it
can escape, why not action in place
of steady tribute of fees and assess
ments, with no benefits and no ac-
counting? as"
: Here are the powers of the state
association in levying assessments.
This brings home what Allison Peck
said about the "heavy assessments"
and makes the dairyman wonder to
what limit the local unit will be stung
as per the assessment route.
Paragraph 8 of the articles of in
corporation of the Associated Dairy
men provides as follows:
The Board of Directors of the
Association shall have the right to
T levy assessments to carry out
any or all of the purposes herein
set forth. Any assessment levied
for the purposes of meeting the
general expenses of this associa-
tion shall be uniformly levied on
the basis of the amount of men,
bership fees or stock subscribed
for in each of the cooperative
Milk Producers Associations, re-
presented by the members hereof
in the proportion that said men,
bership fees and par value of
stock subscribed in all the Asso-
Citations, represented by the men,
bers hereof.
1t is the opinion of The Press that
this power of assessment which is
vested in the directors of the state as
sociation, puts the local unit abso-
lutely at the mercy of Henderson and
a controlling vote of the state board
of directors. hi. <&gol
According to the articles of incor-
poration the state directors can levy
on the units for any of the purposes

Keep Your
Child Fit
BY Brice Belden, u. D.

THE physical conditions which
harmfully affect children OF
= school age, causing them to
fall behind in their studies and to
retard the advance Of others in
their classes, may be classified as
follows: Defective vision, defective
hearing, defective teeth, defects Of
the air passages, heart defects, bone
and joint deformities, and defects
Of nutrition.
Among these handicaps, defective
vision is the most important from
the standpoint OF interference with
class progress. This condition is
responsible for One-quarter OF those
habitually left back.
1t requires considerable observa-
ton to detect all those with de-
fective hearing. The children are
frequently diffident about IL and
their parents skeptical. Much can
be effected by so placing these chill
dren in the school room as to min
imiZe their hearing handicap.
Over 80 per cent OF school chill
dren have untitled cavities in their
teeth, despite the campaign OF edu-
cation that has been carried on.
The cleansing and dental care OF
the teeth have very definite bear
ings upon the physical progress OF
the child.
Children who have adenoids and
enlarged tonsiIs usually attract at
tentiOn through their defects in
pronunciation, manner OF breath
ing, nasal discharge, frequent colds,
and ear troubles.
Heart defects are comparatively
rare in children. Those children
who suffer from them require spe-
cial care in order to insure that the
demands made upon the diseased
organ are within its capacity.
Regarding bone and joint de-
formities, desks and chairs must
be suitable for the particular chill
dren occupying them. Spinal cur
vature may be caused, and any eX-
isting curvature made worse by
habituaIly faulty positions. Insist
ence upon correct posture is an es-
sentiaI element in juvenile dis
cipline from the hygienic stand
point.
Finally. no child can develop into
a healthy and vigorous adult upon
an unsuitable and insufficient diet
prolonged over a considerable pc
riod The child handicapped by
malnutrition may generally be
known by his appearance and lack
Of energy. both mental and .physi-
cal. But there are many children,
not suitably nor sufficiently fed,
who cannot be easily detected.
There may be apparent good
health where the feeding Is bad, the
deficient vitality not being revealed
except, perhaps. in the shape OF
poor resisting power in the pres
ence Of infectious disease. A
knowledge OF how and what the
children are actually fed Is essen
tial In determining the truth In
these cases.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

TT was lucky that the balloon
fell into the big willow tree,
as mentioned in the last
story, for otherwise Puss Junior and
his fellow passengers might have
been badly hurt. As it happened.
they were none the worse except
for a few scratches. Puss pulled
himself together and after arrang-
ing his clothes, which were torn
and mussed by the branches OF the
tree, looked about him. Suddenly,
he heard the cry of a baby, and
turning around, he saw a little
cradle swinging back and forth. 1t
was fastened securely to a limb, and
rocked to and fro as the breeze blew
through the trembling leaves.
ROck-a-by, baby, upon the tree tOpi

When the bough breaks the cradle

Down tumbles baby, cradle and all.

be almost as bad for the baby as it
was for US when the balloon fell
into this tree"
1T might be worse" said one Of
the passengers, who stood near them
on a limb, looking down to the
ground.
Suppose we take down the
cradle" said the balloon man.

to take II down; it's not our baby"
You are perfectly right" said
another passenger. 1T isn't our
cradle and II isn't our baby. so the
best thing for US to do is to leave
the cradle and climb down"
As soon as the passengers were
once more upon the ground they
demanded their fare back, saying
that when they had gone up in the
balloon they had paid for a trip TO
the moon, and not for a fall into a
willow tree.
This doesn't seem quite fair to
US" remarked the balloon man,
looking ruefully at his wrecked
balloon. "I don't think / should
give you back more than half, for
the first part Of the journey was
successful"
You didn't keep to your bar

sides, you endangered our lives. I
don't want TO pay to go up in the

down into a willow tree; it takes all

So the balloon man paid back the
money and turned away. why

ONE wOMAN'S STORY. BY Carolyr
Beecher. New York: Britton Publishing
Company.
TN this over-lOng but interesting
novel Carolyn Beecher depicts
the conflict Of two ideas-the
struggle between a woman with a
leaning toward feminism, and her
husband, who is uncOmprOmisingl
OF the old school which believes
that a woman's place is with her
home and children.
Robert DraytOn is a lawyer who
has just entered into practice. He
is married to a girl who all her
life has been accustomed to luxury,
and who knows absolutely nothing
OF the economy Of a household,
while DraytOn presUmes she knows
all about cooking and hOusewOrk.
They have a very unhappy time,
indeed, until DraytOn's practice
begins to pay him enough to hire
servants and buy an automobile.
Drayton's work absOrbs more and
more OF his time, cutting into his
evenings. Noticing his preOccupied
air and knowing that he has
several women in his list
OF CllEulSS the lOOllsn mar
garet imagines he must be spend
ing his evening away from
home with one OF them. She be-
comes fairly obsessed with the idea
that she is losing his love, despite
the fact that there is no change in
his demeanOr to her. Then Mar
garet conCeives the idea Of a
filtration with another man in
hope of winning back her husband
by arOusing his jealousy.
But DraytOn does not play the
game her way. PerceivinE, on the
contrary, that his wife seems Un-
usually happy in the company Of
certain Of their men friends. he
spends more Of his evenings at his
office than ever. Thus Margaret
defeats her own ends, and as the
story progresses Drayton appears
to be drifting slowly into an af-
fair with one Of his clients. In the
end, after Margaret has been
brought to a realization that she is
playing with fire, the death Of their
son brings a complete understand

it rather dangerous if it should happen
to get into any improper channel"
Mr.. Morris said that J. If the federal
trade commission had found that the
packers had raised "such a sum or
one-twentieth of it for the purpose OF
raising the price of the articles they
SELL" they would have been denounced
as profiteers. He added that he had
heard no criticism of the market com
mittee fund, but said this possibly was
due to the fact that "the public is not
aware of It,"
Taking up the federal trade commits
sion's charges In detail, Mr.. Morris
said that the proof that there was no
combination among the packers to
control prices of live stock was given
by the fact that prices had more than
doubled in four years. He quoted
from independent packers testimony
before congressional committees to
show that these firms were not OPP
pressed by the large packers and de-
clared that the profits of his company
in the fiscal year ending November 8,
1918, on the total capital invested, in
Guiding borrowed money, was only 7.24
percent.
Turning to the bill before the COM
mittee, the witness gave list of rea-
sons why he opposed it's enactment.
He told the committee that "the ex-
pertinent in government operation of
the railroads has not been SO over
whelmingly successful as to justify
the belief that great benefit to the
community would result from the
