little flourish Of the past two weeks
to get things going for the new lease
On the life Of the champion and his
managers meal tickets did not quite
meet with the approval of the big
bugs, so to speak. Old man Null
doom seems to be of the opinion that
a mixed bout would not set we'll with
the general public. SO he is the
guardian OF the tastes of the general
public. Methfnks that politics have
much to do with the game in the
Empire State.
Harry Wills is still "watchful Y
waiting" Developments He may get
his chance this year and again he may
not. But you let Dempsey and Jack
Kearns get hungry enough and they

We Notice

That California dairymen are EN-.
ploying men at full time to test and
keep records on total OF 39,162
cows in COW testing associations. We
notice that in 1922, 3O63 cows were
discarded as Improbable as a result
OF these tests We notice that nearly
every other state has one or more
testing associations and that the av.
erage production of all COWS in all
associations is just about double the
average production OF other COWS be.
cause the culls have been discarded
in the association herds and because
most OF the herds are headed by
purebred bulls. We also notice that
profits per COW increase when COWS
are tested. not because testing makes
cow give more milk, but because
the men who test will feed better
and get rid OF the low producers, save
the heifers from only the best COW
and breed to nothing but the best
bull available.
There are enough large herds in the
Uncompahgre Valley to warrant q
COW testing association at this time
but anyone who is Interested can
have his cows tested without expense.
This office will be glad to cooperate.

BAD CHECK MEN
Ways and Means Meet
ing Exiting" Evil Dis
cussed at Recent Asso-
citation Gathering

AT a recent meeting of the Caldwell
Retail Merchants Association, the mat
ter OF stopping the writing OF "Insuf-
/ fcient Funds" checks was considered
at some length. According to several
of the merchant members. there are
people in this community who seem to
make a practice OF writing checks
when they do not have the money to
cover them, cashing them with
the Caldwell merchants and then fail
ing to take them up for several months
after being notified by those merch-
ants. 1t was explained again that when
a check given by one of his customers
is returned TO a merchant by a bank.
marked insufficient funds" that the
merchant must Immediately make IT
good in cash This forces the merch-
ant to have that amount OF money tied
up until he can in turn collect from the
person who originally wrote the check.
Several instances were cited when II
actually took six to eight months in
which to collect on some OF these IN
sufficient" checks.
II was called to the attention OF the
people that many times people will in
nocently write checks when through
a mistake. there is not sufficient cash
in the account to cover. People max
ing a mistake like this arc not the ones
the merchants association is after. Ii
was made very clear that before any
action by the association was taken
against anyone for giving a bad check.
every reasonable means of collecting
same would be tried. But after several
letters from the merchants themselves
and possibly one from the association
fail to get results, the association will
then take action against the writer of
the bad check.
Prospective plans for the handling
of this bad check evil are now in the
hands of a competent committee. and
"a definite plan of action will soon be
decided upon.
