Farmers Cooperative
Becomes Big Factor In
Marketing of Milk

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. c., Feb. 17-More
than 1,700,000,00o pounds of milk
was marketed by farmers coopera-
tive associations in 1924; according
to a survey just completed by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
These figures are baSod on reports
received from go associations which
sold the bulk of their milk at whole
sale, and 20 which were selling MANLY
at retail. The former group handled
1,546,254 900 pounds, and the latter
group l58,273,000 pounds.
Altogether, the department obtained
reports from Us associations. OF this
number, however, 80 are organizations
described as bargaining associations.
These do not, as a rule, sell milk di-
rectly, although there is a tendency
for them to evolve into actual market
ing concerns. While the total of rs
associations does not represent the
entire number of milk and cream CO.
operative associations in the country,
1t is believed they handle well over
80 per cent of the total milk bust
ness done comparatively.
Their membership in 1921 exceeded
$4,000. About one-half of this mem
bership, however, was in the priee bar
gaining associations. 10 per cent in
the associations engaged in wholesale
distribution, and less than 4 per cent
in the retail distributing, as -ociations,

Association, with headquarters in New
York, and with a membership Of more

Before Carl I.aemmle sailed for

however, was unpropitious on ac-
count of the approaching college va

sarily had to be left until fall. Now,
with the faculties Of the colleges re-
turning to their posts and educa-
tional authorities preparing for an
other years work, these details are
rapidly rounding into definite form.
Mr.. Laemmle, too, has been
through a desperate illnss. For q

None) in order to settle the question
in their own minds and in those of
the directors.
But the film test is pascal
least where Ben Reynolds, Metro
Goldwyn Mayer photographer, is
concerned. With Ben around the
thing is as good as determined at a
glance, without all the bother Of ap-
pearing before the camera. Ben is
~ar ,Xpert; he has photographed Nor
ma Shearer in five successive
pictures, and he ought to know. Be
low he gives a list Of what the per-
feet camera face should have:
1. A round face, but not moon
face.
2. Fairly dark eyes, not neces-
sarily black, but dark gray.
8. Eyes exactly alike $50 many per-
sons have uneven eyes.
4. Perfectly straight teeth.
- 5. A soft skin without any large
bres.
= 6. Soft, fluffy hair.
Z. Regular features. NJ
Reynolds would rather photograph
women, who have long hair than
those who have bobbed locks. He
declared that the effects are more
interesting. He also prefers curly
hair to straight, from a pho
tographic angle. According to him,
the color of the hair does not
matter.
Nora Shearer is an ideal pho
tographic type, as are Eleanor
Boardmah, Carmel Myers and Claire
Windsor, he declares. Although
Miss Windsor has straight bobbed
hair, she has so many other good
points that Reynolds can forgive
her.
Reynolds calls attention to the
fact that many women think the
quality of their skin does not matter
as it will be covered with grease
paint. The camera man declares
that large pores are visible even
behind the makeup.

Women are asserting their rights

cleverness. Instead of trying to
abolish polygamy outright they forced
through law which continues to per-
NIT a man to have four wives, but
provides that if he marries more than
one he first must get the permission
of the first wife.
In all the world only the Panama
Canal is of greater strategic value
than Constantinople and the Bos-

address was illustrated by lantern

famous church built more than 1850
years ago by Emperor Justinian. "
