Foundation of Quality
Essential for Success

"A solid foundation Of quality goods
combined with economical production
is essential to the success of any type
Of marketing Of poultry or It's prod
ucts," says J. B. Hayes, poultry spe-
cialist at the University Of Wisconsin.
IF one is unable to produce at a cost
lower than the selling price, the ven
ture, whatever it may be, is destined
to ultimate failure" he declares.
"Volume Of production and cost OF
production are inseparable," Hayes
maintains. Increase in cost always &C.
companies slump in production. For
economical production, it is necessary
that volume Of production be main
tanned. Special emphasis has been
placed on the feeding of mash for this
purpose" Hayes gives, as an exam
pie of this, the case Of the Portage
county farmer, who had been feeding
his flock without mash. The last week
in August they produced 189 eggs. He
then added mash to the ration and
raised his production to POT eggs q
week, and this at time of the year
when a drop in production is to be
expected. A record was kept Of the
total feed cost and the return from
the eggs was almost exactly double
the feed cost. One-third of the flock
was then removed by culling and
there was further reduction in feed
cost accompanied by corresponding
increase in returns above the cost OF
feed"

TAKING A SICKNESS
CENSUS

Low much sickness is there in any.
~ average town in a year? Not
how many deaths, that can easily be
determined. But, beside the sicknesses
that result fatally, how many people
are Ill who recover and how. much
time is lost through Unnecessary and
avoidable sickness2
Health officers have been trying for
some time to answer some Of. these
questions. In recent issue Of the
Public Health Reports is an article
by Edgar Sydenstricker of the United
States public health service, giving
figures Of an extended survey Of 1915
families in the town of Hagerstown,
Nd, for % months. In these 1915
households were S,5S7 persons. Not
all Of them, of course, were under OBJ
servation for the entire % months, but
the total number amounted to what
Doctor Sydenstricker calls 1857
years which would be equal to town
Of 1857 persons for one year.
OF these, S,O01 were men, and s,516
were women. So the proportion Of
sexes was more equally divided than
would be found In the average town.
The survey covered the time from
December 1, 1921, to March 81, 1924,
% months embracing all the seasons.
In this group and during this time
there were 17,S47 definite and separate
cases of illnesses, or little more than
an average of one per year per person.
OF these, 1884. or over 60 per cent
were diseases Of the respiratory tract.
This included influenza or grippe, all
forms of pneumonia, pleurisy, tonsil-
litis, Group, hay fever, asthma, tuber-
culosis and all troubles with the
throat and lungs.
OF all forms Of epidemic diseases,
there were 1,44S cases, or s per cent.
This includes typhoid, measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever, diphtherIa,
and all other epidemics.
General diseases, such as cancer,
rheumatism, diabetes, etc., caused 359
illnesses, or per cent. Diseases Of
the nervous system caused 72S Ill
nesses, or per cent, while eye and
ear diseases totaled 3O3, or 1.6 per
cent. In spite Of all we hear about
the increase of heart disease and high
blood pressure, illnesses due to dis
eases Of the heart and blood vessels,
only amounted to 303, the same as
eye and ear troubles. Digestive trou-
bles formed large group, 1904, or
8 per cent.

HELP RESCUE SACCO AND VANzETTI!
tInternatlonaI labor Defense Press eervleel
BY JOSEPH SCHLOSSBERG
General Secretary Amagamated Clothing Workers Of America
(From "Advance'D

THE American workers are being
called upon to raise their voice
in order to save Sacco and Vanzetti
from death. A mighty protest from
the labor movement will stay the ex-
ecutioner's hand.
Six years ago a man was murdered
and robbed in East Braintree, Mass
The authorities were unable to find
the murderer. Sacco and Vanzetti
were thought to be good scapegoats
because they were radicals and for
eigners-a very unfortunate combina-
ton at any time, especially so six
years ago, when this country was still
in the grip of war hysteria.
The two workers were arrested,
tried and convicted on the fimsiest
evidence. Since the trial two of the
leading witnesses have repudiated
their testimony, and then repudiated
their Reputation, and then new and
vital evidence in favor Of the defense
has turned up. But after a struggle
of more than five years new trial
was denied the two innocent workers.
Unless something happens to change
the legal course, sentence will soon
be pronounced and our two comrades
will be led to their death. There
seems to be possibility Of bringing
the case before the United States
supreme court. If that fails, pardon
by the governor of Massachusetts will
be the only hope.
The members of the Amalgamated
will surely aid in the efforts to save
the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti. II
our comrades should be executed 1t
will be for crime committed by
someone else. The authorities seek to
sacrifice these two workers because
of their own inability to find the real
perpetrator of the crime. The fact
that Sacco and Vanzetti are radicals

THE growing revolt against Coo
L lidgeism is creating election strug'
giles in various states which are the
outward expression, confused in most
instances but quite clear in others,
of the attempt of farmers, small bust
nessmen and workers, to break the
grip of capitansm-"big business" in
the phraseology of the American re
formist-upon the machinery OF gov
ernment-local, state and national.
TN addition to these struggles, hav.
L ing more or less of class charac-
ter judged by American standards,
there is also definite division appar-
ent in the ranks of the upper strata of
the American capitalist class which
finds its expression in the anti-admin-
istration attitude of Vice-President
Dawes, Senator Lowden and others,
whose economic base is the so-called
middle western group of big manufac-
turers and the rich farmers.
Difference on the tariff, on the Ques-
ton of the world court and legislative
methods of satisfying the farmers, di.
vide this group from the House OF
Morgan crowd.
THE election struggles produced by
l. the anti-Coolidge revolt, itself a
product Of the unfavorable agrarian
situation and the open pro-trust policy
of the government, are typified by the
