COOPERATIVE MELON SHIPPING

The tendency seems to be growing stronger every
day among the cantaloupe growers and shippers of
Imperial Valley, towards means of marketing
their product comparatively.
1t would seem queer that in this state where CO.
operative marketing has reached such zenith of per-
fecton, that this crop which involves over ten millions
every year should be left out in the cold to speak, to
shift for itself
No douot there are some specialized conditions in
the marketing of cantaloupes which do apply to
oranges for Instance but in the main the basic prin
cples that govern the marketing of other crops apply
here.
The things that cooperative marketing try to &C
complish standardized product, an even dis
trbution, to not overload the market at any
point and the prevention of duplication of effort such
as must necessarily be the under the present sys
tenn.

Some plan could be worked out where the number

could be determined and not let each wild,

CHRISTMAS STAMP
MONEY USED In
CHILD WELFARE

Every holiday the people of this
/ city are in the habit of buying
Christmas tuberculosis stamps with
which to acorn their letters and
packages. Most people who buy
them know that the money goes to
the fighting of tuberculosis, but
few know what is really accom-.
plished by the money raised in this
way.
This year, the proceeds of these
sales throughout Imperial Valley
were put in one fund, in charge of
the Imperial Valley tuberculosis
| Committee. And one of the most
concrete results directly traceable
thcrcfrom was the coming on March
l, of Miss Marjorie Sturgeon, a
nurse who has had special training
i'll her line of work.
Miss Sturgeon s duties since ar.
irving in the valley have been
MANY and varied. She was emplov-
ed for a time to do work in the
various schools and in this connec-
ton visited eight rural, six city, and
tutions she weighed, measured, and
gave eye. ear, nose and throat ex-
aminations to 1920 children, and
located many conditions which
were greatly improved by attention.
Many SCHOOLS Visited
To three schools where the need
was the greatest, Miss Sturgeon
made return visits every week or
two weeks. In these schools, par
ents of defective children were
visited. In schools where no re-
turn visits were made, notice of de-
feets found was sent through the
teachers.
In addition to the regular work
done by Miss Sturgeon, she has
spent much of her own personal
time in making calls and doing
splendid publicity work along this
line. She has co-opcrated with the
Rotary club in their work of caring
for crippled children of this city.
Recently when the club sent three
children to San Diego for examine
ton, Miss Sturgeon had charge of
the party of whom "Littlc Lucy
about whom so many inquiries have
been made, was one.
Lucy Goes to Coast
And in this connection, Lucy S
friends-for Lucy has as many
friends AS there were readers of her
story-will all be delighted to
learn that Miss Sturgeon took Lu-
cy to San Diego again few days
ago, where DR.. C. NJ. Harding of
that city is to perform an opera
tion which will make Lucy believe
even more than ever in fairies. Re
ports of her condition will be pub
lished as soon as received.
Miss Sturgeon, just before her
departure, stated that she wished
to thank the doctors, the churches
and numerous big-hearted men and
women of the city who have coop
Grated with her in work for the bet
terment OF child life in this COM
munity. She also says that if the

Cotton Exporters
Confer With U. S.
Over Cotton Act

A group of the leading cotton cx-
porters of the United States have
been comforting with the United
States Department of Agriculture
at the invitation of the Secretary of
Agriculture 1or the last two days
as to the effect of the new Cotton
Standards Act upon the export cot.
ton trade, and have worked out
with the approval of the Secretary
of Agriculture the following state
ment on this subject.
The United States Cotton Stan
dards Act will become effective on
August /, 1923. It'requires in in
terstatc and foreign commerce the
observance Of the official cotton
standards of the United States in
all transactions based on standards,
and prohibits the use of any other
standards of classification.
The group unanimously approved
the desirability of worldwide agree
ment upon uniform cotton stan
dards and endorsed the present of
fetal cotton standards of the Unit
ed States as satisfactory to the
American cotton trade.

SAXONY VS.. AUSTRALIA

1t is nine months, now since Australian ports
opened again TO German commerce. but the Australian
government, In response to popular demand has re-
fused to accord German goods the treatment provid-
ed in those familiar most favored nation" clauses
which are the standby of commercial treaties. Aus
ralia Is evyng her highest tariffs on whatever origin
ates within the borders of the Imperial republic.
The German republican government has not acted
in the matter but what once the kingdom Of Sax
ony takes up the cudgels. It's woolen manufacturers
have entered into agreement for an absolute boy
colt of Australian wool and placing their orders
with South Africa and the Argentine instead where
they seem likely to control the markets. Australia
has enjoyed nearly 65 per cent of the German wool
trade in past and if the boycott holds it will be
serious.
Neither Australia nor Saxony can hope to profit
by it, though doubt both will take much sasfac-
tion in making faces ten thousand miles of
ocean.
