USE BETTER LENSES

If Brother BENJAMIN of the Ocala Star would
get his spectacles halfsoled and read the editorials
of his exchanges before commenting them, his
readers would be spared such ridiculous exhlbi-
tons as the following sarcastic reference to a
Telegram article on the spirit of France
The Lakeland Telegram blames Alexander
Dumas for the fighting spirit of the French
Everybody who has studied French history
will recognize the justice of the statement
Pepin learned his letters from THE Three
Musketeers" and the heads of Charlemagne
Roland and Oliver often bobbed together as
they bent over their copy OF Twenty Years
After" Chevalier Bayard, Henry of Navarro
and Admiral Coligni the great Condo Tu-
renne and the Due de Luxembourg passed the
long winter evenings reading Dumas and
the only reason Joan of Are did not peruse
the same enhancing print because she
could not read. Napoleon gave his marshals
sets of Dumas for Christmas presents and
Worrying over the loss of his autographed
copy of Monte Cristo caused him to lose the
battle of Waterloo. When the Germans over
ran France in 1870. they captured a full set of
Dumas novels, and that was the real cause
Of the world war
his would be overwhelmingly funny if the Tele-
gram had actually blamed Alexander Dumas for
the fighting spirit in France But never having
done SO, nor said anything from which even a
>semi-casua reader could possibly infer anything
of the kind, it only suppose that its esteemed
and usually alert contemporary merely guessed at
thesconents of the editorial to which the foregoing
refers. The point of cur little discussion of Dunn
as, ssas our readers will recall, was that his success
was mainly due to the fact that he pictured French
men as they liked to fancy themselves rather than
as they actually were. This proposition may be
debatabe. but certainly there is nothing in it to
cali for the sort of argument" advanced in the
Star.

THE TEACHER

In the matter of qualification teaching is con-
sdered learned profession, the teacher beng
required not only o teach, with technical accuracy,
The common branches of learning but supply Tie
defects of home training Of the pupils in manners,
morals and department. Education end common
sense Of d superior order are required of the
teacher, and strict exauinaon weeds cut those
who fail to possess these qualifications.
But when it comes to other matters, The teacher
is assumed to be next door~to an imbecie. She
does not know how to dress arrange her hair,
prepare her own toilet nor how to spend the brief
periods which she is graciously permitted to call
her own in her vacations She can not be trusted
to choose her amusements, the games she shall play
nor the places she shall attend She lives moves
and has her being under cloud of in;erdcti5ns as
frowning as that which hovers over a Turkish
maiden before she finds anchorage in TIE seragLo
Such a situation is both ridiculous and tragca
ridiculous because assumes the irfallibikty Of
school boards and clothes them with inQusitoria
powers which even the priesthood no longer ven
lures to exercise; ragcal because its inevitable ef-
feet is to drive from the teaching profession most
of its most talented votaries

The Ocala Star intimates that it considers Dr.
Lorenz fake. He may be, for aught we know
But that does not seem to be the point raised
against him by the American physicians and sur
geons. AS nearly as we can gather their point
Of objection is that he by giving free treatments,
is running business. A similar objection could have
been interposed to the ministrations of Christ and
doubtless some Of the physicians and surgeons Of
that day took the same view of them. At any
rate there is evidence that they objected to
the crucihxion.

A BETTER CITIES CAMPAIGN

Thirty six cities in Oklahoma, at
last accounts, had entered a contest
to determine which of them after
years trial shall prove to be the best
place for rearing children A reward
OF S25O0 has been pledged by the no
tary Club of Shawnee to the city that
averages the highest.
The ten points of the score, which
count in winning this competition, are
as follows: Facilities for play and rec
reation, Industrial training suited to
character development general con
lition of schools, health conservation,
management of children through in
terest in scouting, safeguarding OF
community morals. management OF
social affairs OF adolescents. religious
training, clubs of men and women
rendering service to young people,
housing situations with reference to
family welfare.
What splendid program this Isl!
II is mighty fine thing to get the
cities of a state competing on any
kind OF Improvement project, and an
equally fine thing to see them working
for such a vital Improvement as this
Some movement of this kind is needed

milk Immediately after milking; to
use smooth cans, free from rust and
easily cleaned; to use buckets partly
covered and sterilized Immediately
after milking.
Again we emphaize the necessity
of milking with dry hands Some
dairymen will come home from work
in the field and proceed to milk their
cows with the accumulated filth of
hours of labor IN the dirt on their
hands and clothing, ignoring the fact
that ii is impossible to produce clean
milk under such conditions. Some
few, we regret to state, milk with open
sores upon their hands. This is not
only filthy but dangerous to the indi-
vidual and to the public. Such habits
mean a mixture of filth and milk that
is not only unpalatable but unhealth-
full to the last degree.
1t is quite possible to produce good
clean milk and cream with ineXpen-
sive and very little equipment if care,
clean water, disinfectanL and AriZona's 9
generous sunshine is used literally,
for cleanliness in milk is influenced
more by the methods employed than
by the kind or amount of equipment
used. We appreciate the fact though
that equipment of the proper kind is
most desirable in the retail trade
where bottling is done, in fact essen
tial but we are not insisting upon ex'
pensive and elaborate equipment.
We hope by callius your attention
to some of these items mentioned and
oftimes overlooked, to assist you in
correcting some Of the abuses and
mlsuses of the dairy farmer. 1T is up
dairymen to stand squarely behind
this department III enforcing the law
and seeing to it that the Indifferent
dairymen shall not rob you of your
rights to better prices and bigger
markets, because of his neglect and
carelessness. Remember that your
products are pooled with his and
you get returns on the general average
no matter how select your product

down to the average.
By atIiliating with your local Farm
Bureau, you can accomplish a great
amount OF good in correcting evils
and extending your influence for farm
and dairy products to obtain better
prices and wider markets,
We trust that the creameries Of the
state will see the propriety soon of
grading your milk and cream, thus
recognizing and rewarding true merit
in production.
Trusting the New Year shall be
most prosperous and profitable, soon
for you and bespeaking your coopera-

State Department Urges
Cleanliness in Care of Milk

The following letter has been receiv-
ed from Clarence Dana, State Dairy
Commissioner OF Phoenix, regarding
the proper handling of dairy products
December II, 1921
To Arizona's Dairymen and Dairy
Farmers:
Gentlemen:
IN our appeals to you and those
handling milk and its products, we
have shown the necessity of produc,
ing milk and cream of good quality
and made it clear THAI the value of the
same, depends largely upon quality;
and quality can be attained by care
and cleanliness from the time the milk
is drawn from the COW until il reaches
the consumer. We contend, too, that
+ when the consumer is convinced that
the home products are clean and OF
high grade, they will be consumed at
home and prestage abroad.
We are aware of the fact that in
every community, different types of
dairymen are found. Because of his
arrives at our creameries and Conden-
series, milk and cream of wide dit
ference in quality. We are glad to re-
port, however, ttat the quality of the
dairy products are greatly improved
and batter manufactured in Arizona
has better keeping qualities, accord
ing to tests made by dairy experts
covering a period of several months,
than butter shipped from other states.
We compliment you upon this splen,
did showing and impress upon you the
fact that high grade butter cannot be
made from poor cream.
This Department of State is indeed
glad to note that many Of our dairy
men are careful and cleanly in the pro-
duction of their milk and cream and
care of their cows and yards etc. To
them we appeal, not only to maintain
their high standards, but to perfect
it daily. We regret that some dairy
men are still slothful and indifferent.
This class is not only menance to
public health but deters the creamer-
les and dealers from paying better
prices and thus robs the good dairy
man OF a just reward for his toll
and market for his products. Those
who are in this latter class must i'm
prove their methods If they remain
in the business and make money.
It-is admitted that while conditions
may vary in different localities, there
are nevertheless few, simple, mex
pensive sanitary means and measures
that can be ADOPTED which are appli-
cable everywhere and that bring re-
suits which are important and essen
tial. Briefly they are, the necessity
OF brushing and cleaning the cows
sides and udder before milking, keep
ing the corrals and barns where the
cows feed and are bedded and milked
clean and free from accumulations of
manure and anything foreign to the
dairy business: to keep the utensils
clean and sterilized and strain the

THE sALEsMANsHIP NEEDED
TODAY

The Dry Goods Reporter expresses
the idea that a new type of salesman
ship is needed to meet the present
business situation
This newspaper speaks particularly
of commercial travellers, noting how
eagerly they concentrate on their ef
forts to persuaGe merchants to buy,
Yet some of them are Indifferent to
the problems the merchant has to
meet in selliny the stuff. IL sold him
the goods. but | should worry about
what he does with them, is their mot
to.
To make good continuously, a trav'
elling salesman has got to know the
buying habits and the demand OF the
people, and their mental attitude to-
ward purchases at any given time.
He must know what will sell, and for
how much money. II he loads up a
merchant with stuff that the latter
can not work off. the sale had better
never have been made,
People who buy expensive articles
often note how eager solicitors are to
follow them up until the sale Is con.
cluded. but afterward the salesman
seems to loose all concern about their
interests. A man who bought an auto
mobile several pears ago, remarked
the otner day that the salesman used
to come to see him every day until
he bought the car. But after the sale
was completed, he never showed the
slightest interest in the way the car
was running. and never made the least
effort to find if it was giving the right
kind of service.
In developing the trade of a store
or city the problem is not so much to
to develop convincing salesmanship
methods and manners, as to seek to
serve the public. The man who rises
in retail trade is not necessarily the
man who in his first years will sell
the most goods.
The winner is the one who seeks
broad acquaintance with the public,
who remembers the individual tastes
of customers and tries to make the
purchase fit each individual, and who
follows up his goods to see if they
give perfect satisfaction.

THE M,ppLeMAN's FUNCTION

President Harding in his recent mes
sage called attention to the demand of
the farmers for larger share of the
price paid by consumers for food pro-
ducts. II is universally admitted that
too much OF what the consumer pays
goes to middlemen.
Yet the middlemen could never have
puilt up their business II they had not
rendered real service. Suppose an
individual fruit dealer were to under
take TO deal directly with the fruit
growers. He would have to buy the
greater part of these fruits in states
1000 to 5000 miles away, almost all in
small lots. His freight and carriage
costs would be heavy,
The middleman comes in at this
point and makes a saving by having
the fruit come in car load shipments,
savisg freight asd carriage He may
be able to deliver small lots of fruit
around to the various retail dealers

u is OF course possible that group
Of these dealers could organize so as
to buy In carload lots, and hire truck
men who would receive these loads
when they come in, and distribute
them about to the retailers participat-
ing in the deal. Probably more OF
that kind of thing could be done.
But 1t isvolves considerable machin-
cry. Retailers cas- tell In alvance
Just how much OF given supply they
are going to be able to sell. II is a
great convenience for them TO be able

saler and obtain every few days just
such quantity of stuff as they need.
Trus they can get along with smaller
capital and avoid locking up so much
money in merchandise.
II is proving possible for groups of
farmers to sell direct to wholesalers
who are located close to retail dealers
that use the product In that way one
or more profits and some handling
are frequently saved.

at time when they were very busy
and went home. His employers felt
that this showed an irresponsible
spirit and they discharged him.
Natural as it was for that mother to
wish to see her boy, yet a wiser wo-
man would have said that it was far
more important for him to make good
in his position The boy has been out
of work most of the time since, and
the family has been in hard straits.
This is a typical instance of how a
lot of people are constantly doing
things that show lack of balance and
intelligence, and which injure their
chances.
The question rises how the people
who show this lack or common sense
are to be helped to attain it. The
schools are usually considered respon-
sible for all faults in human nature.
But you can't expect the schools to
put common sense in the heads of pco-
pie who do not have it. Some Of the
most laundering people are those
whose heads are filled with book
knowledge.
Perhaps the best experience in the
world for developing judgement, Is
obtained by working in the employ
ment of some good business house
The people who come under the direc.
tion of some competant business man
are constantly corrected for errors of
judgement, and in time acquire a
background of sense and judgement.
