Every Farmer, Fruit Grower,
Dairyman in Imperial Go. Is
Affected by New Tax Ruling

Every fruit grower, farmer and
dairyman in Southern California is
affected by ruling received from
Washington Yesterday by Collector
of Internal Revenue Rex Goodcell,
which exempts from income taxes
bona fide cooperative associations
which act as sales agents for farm
ers and provides that they shall not
be required to file income tax re-
turns.
The ruling, which amends the eX-
isting regulations, states that:
Cooperative associations, acting
as sales agents for farmers, fruit
growers, live stock growers. dairy
men, or engaged in the marketing
of farm products, and turning back
to the producers the proceeds of the
sales of their products, less the nee
essary operating expenses, on the
basis of the produce furnished by
them are exempt from income tax
and shall not be required to file re
turns.
Thus cooperative dairy compan-
les, which are engaged in collect
ing milk and disposing of it or the
products thereof and distributing
the proceeds. less necessary operat-
ing expenses. among the producers
upon the basis of the quantity of
milk or of butter fat in the milk
furnished by such producers, are eX-
empt from the tax. If the proceeds
of the business are distributed in
any other way than on such pro-
portionate basis, the association
does not meet the requirements Of
the statute and is not exempt.
Reserve is Permitted

amce of reasonable reserve for de-
probation or possible losses or :; re-
serve required by state statute or Il

MANY KIDDIES OF
FARM TOO WEARY
FOR REAL STUDY
Many Interesting Topics
Discussed by Home
Department

While child labor is not the cause
of non-attendance in rural schools
of Imperial County, yet eases are
frequent where children who do not
actually miss the regular school
sessions are so physically depleted
from long hours of work before and
after school that they cannot
profit by instruction, was one of
the striking statements made by
Mrs. A. W. Swanson, county at
tendance officer, when she spoke be-
fore the county chairmen s commit
tee of the Farm Home Department
which was held at the court house
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. s. L. McCrory of the Verde
school corroborated Mrs. Swanson s
remarks, telling of having had some
of her primary pupils fall asleep
during school hours as the result of
sheer weariness.
Among the other interesting fea
lures of the meeting, which was
presided over bv Mrs. Maude Aus
tin of the NcCabe district, chairman
of the County Farm Home Depart
ment. Miss Orpha a. Miller, county
home demonstration agent, gave Il
complete outline of the work to be
taken NJ.
Food Exhibits Planned
Miss Miller told of the food ex
hibit which will be held at Berkeley
some time in the next month or so
under the direction of w. Y. Cruews,
assistant professor in the Fruits
Products department. 1t was deeid-
ed. to make an attempt to prepare
an exhibit of home canned Imperial
Valley products TO be sent to the
university for this occasion.
1t was announced by Miss Miller
that Harry Shepherd, head of the
landscape gardening department Of
the university. would be in the val
ley this fall to confer with those
interested in the subject of home
grounds. Prof. Shepherd will be re-
membered with pleasure by many
here, as he was in the valley for the
same purpose last year. Already a
list of 19 homes where his expert
advice is desired has been submit
ted. S
\ list of homes where help is de-
sired .in problems of house furnish
ing is being compiled. The home
gardens project, the project leaders

jeet were adj reported upon by Miss
Miller.

Business has nothing to fear from
the man with that environment and
with such friends. Moreover, best OF
all, he is grounded on those funda-
mentals of religion which put the
church and the home before even
agriculture. labor, commerce, or any
thing else.
This means that the agricultural
and business interests may feel safe
regarding the White House. Regard
less of what selfish politicians may
attempt to do in congress, there will
be a sane man at the wheel. Uneco-
nomic or unjust legislation will only
be passed by riding over President

economic lines. but may be expected
to frown upon an unnecessary coal
shortage or an attempt by organized
labor to hold up the country or upon
any legislation which endeavors to
make water run up hill.
For these reasons there has been
a greater confidence among American
business men the past week than cur
rent figures indicate. Although the
Babsonchart is go below normal, this
decline is largely due to conditions In
Europe and to fears Of foreign bank
ers and foreign business men, who do
not know President Coolidge. Furth-
ermore, while we have been busy
during the past three weeks

have been taking place in Europe.
The newspapers have been unable to
give this European news much space.
I refer to the increase in the German
bank rate to 5000 and certain other
radical changes. These changes have
caused the Babsonchart to decline and
have influenced our domestic stock
and commodity markets, When, how

Over Weight at Thirty Proves
Dangerous in Later Life

New York, Aug. 17.--Thirty is the
magical age in the health develop

thirty he Is supposed more nearly to
approach the normal. Under thirty
he may well weigh number OF
pounds above the average called for
in the standard height, weight and
age tables, but after thirty the long
est life span prevails among those
whose weights are uniformly below the
average, according to figures COM
piled by the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company. of tpis city. and given
out by the American Child Health as

The association asks everyone TO
keep track of his or her weight and
to remedy any excess by diet and
right living.
In a statement accompanying the
figures DR.. Louis T. Dublin, Of the in
surance company, who. compiled
them, says:
AFTER thirty. people who weigh
less than the average have better
chance for long life. the records of the
insurance companies shoY. After
this age 1t is a decided advantage TO
be slight and q serious handicap to
gain materially in weight; provided,
of course. that the light weight is not
the result of sudden loss in weight
which may be the result of organic
disease"
"But the weight tables posted on
public scales" he continues. should
not be taken too literally. Young per-
sons may we'll weigh number of
pounds above the average called for
by the tables. An excess of ten
pounds is associated with the most
favorable conditions among people
between twenty and twenty-five years
old.
THE public should realize these
facts and accommodate their habits
of diet and exercise to them. In
America we eat too much and too
we'll. The oriental coolie and the
European peasant do an enormous

HIT BY SPEEDING auto,
RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS
Michael Waida Thrown 10 Feet, But
Driver Fails to Stop
and Investigate

Michael Waida, an employe of the
Naplecroft farm, is reported as rest
ing comfortably at the New Britain
general hospital following an accident
on Stanley street late Saturday night
in which he was struck by an I'M
known aptoist going in the direction
of Hartford. Albert Gallnot, the only
witness to the affair. has told the po-
lice that the car which struck Waida
was travelling at fast rate of speed.
Waida and Gallnot had been to New
Britain and after alighting from the
trolley car at Francis street proceeded
to walk to the farm. An automobil
going in the same direction struck
Waida and threw him a distance of
about 10 feet. He was rendered un-
conscious and remained in that condi-
ton until after he had been taken to
the hospital, where he was attended
by DIR. George w. Dunn. George
Reilly of 81 Bassett street took the
injured man to the hospital in his
machine. The police are investigat-
ing.
Reinhardt Helming of Bristol re-
ported to the police that he struck
Ignazio Renzonia of 420 Myrtle street
at the corner of West Main and Lin
coin streets. He said that he was
travelling east on West Main street
when Renzonia stepped from the side
walk in front of the car and was
knocked down. He was taken to the
New Britain general hospital but was
discharged soon after his injuries had
been treated.
