DAIRYMEN TAKE
STAND TO FAVOR
MILK ORDINANCE
Approval Of Standard Reg
ulati0n Given at COun-
Gil Meeting

With a unanimous rising vote.
Douglas dairymen decided for them !,
selves in favor of standard milk
regulation as recommended by the
United States health department, and
adopted by Douglas March IA but
not yet q law, in a meeting with
the city council last night.
Following discussion of tie
regulation, the question was put
squarely up to the dairymen b.
Mayor A. E. Hinton upon recon-
incubation Of John g. Crowell, OF
the Bank of Douglas.
The regulation was adopted here
By the board of health in March
but an ordinance covering the reg
ulation has not been passed by the
council, Mayor Hinton said. The
regulation of the health board will
be enforced.
standard milk regulation was made
by j. j.. Jennings, state dairy com.
missioner with headquarters IN Phoe-
mix. to open the meeting.
I'm going through the state and
to different cities I have never found
any two cities having the same reg,
ulations concerning milk" Jennings
said, THE United States public
health service has a standard pro-
gram which was started about four
years ago.
I'm a survey made by the depart.
ment it was found that there were
more than 6O0 different milk ordin-
ances in the. country. A dairyman
moving to another county or state
never knew what kind of changes
lie would find
"The different ordinances have
kept the dairymen in hot water all
the time. what we want is to get
a milk supply that the public will
have confluence in. If the public
has confidence in the milk supply it
has been proven that more milk is
used.
''Under the standard milk ordin-
ance. milk is divided into four
classes, A, B. and D, according to
the degree of sanitation under which
it has been produced. Seventeen
states have adopted the standard plan
and six others are on the waiting
list"

explanation of the grade sheet under

DOUGLAS PUPILS
RANK HIGH AT
ARIZ. UNIVERSITY

The high school office has received
the relative standing of the graduates
of the Douglas high school now at
tending the University of Arizona as
members of the freshman class and
aas group they rank well up among
the top-notchers. While same have
only mediocre grades, the comparison
is much the same as when they at
tended high school during the four
years.
The Douglas high school group of
freshmen at the University of Arizona
ranked first in the intelligence rat
ings given out the first semester, but
the achievement percentage is rela-
lively lower, owing to the failure and
low grades of some of the students.
The achievement grades of the uni
versity group during the first sem
ester has the same co-efficient of
correlation as during their last year
at high school.
The 16 Douglas students now at
tending the state university aver
aged 3.01 as a group. The individ-
ual averages were as follows in or
der of rank:
Daniel Matson led the entire group
with the excellent average of 2.
Margart Doty, salutatorian of the
class of 1926, ranks second with an
average of 2.25. Betty Evans is
third; Stuart Krentz, president of
the student body in 1926, ranks
fourth and Isodore Kline, fifth.

CHINESE ARMIES

Not Known Whethe r
NOrtherners Advance as
Friends or Enemies

SHANGHAI, April 27 R)--Several
armies of varying size are moving
To-Day IN different sections of China.
What were supposed to be northern
troops to the number of $4,000 in
the neighborhood of Wuhu, up the
Yangtse river from Nanking, are not
northerners but contingents of the
second, fourth seventh, eighth,
thirty-seventh and fortieth divisions
of the nationaIists (Cantonese) here
tofore regarded as neutral; or uncer-
tain, as between the Hankow and
Nanking governments.
Most of these troops are proceeding
down the river to Marking, but it
has not been determined whether they
are on their way to join, or attack
Chang Kai-Shell, commander OF the
moderate section of the Cantonese.
Chang has issued a last call on
Hanilow urging those in favor Of
the Nanlling government to join him
without delay and developments are
being watched closely by both sides,
Four columns of nationalists are
on their way to Canton which re-
Gently declared it's independence of

vices from Kiukiang, Kiangsi PROV
ince, say that 5000 troops arrived
there the last two days and more
are en- route from the upper river
points. These troops are considered
favorable to General Chang.
Supporters OF Marshal Sun Chuan-
Fang, once over-lord of five prov

in large numbers around Yangchow,
but the situation there is uncertain
Negotiations apparently are continu-

meantime troops are on the move
from Marking in the direction of
Chinkiang ready to advance across
the river on Yangchow, if Sun Chuan
fails to surrender. Nothing has been
heard for two days of General
Chians's western army which was
reported to be advancing in Suchow-

Mr.. Hoover, who is the personal rep
resentative of President Coolidge in
the flood area and has surveyed the
stricken region from Memphis, Tenn,
to New Orleans, feels that the danger
to New Orleans with it's 100000 popula-
ton would be averted by the break in
the levee at Poydras, IL miles south of
the city. The cabinet official, how
ever, is still extremely concerned with
the possibility Of a severe inundation
in the west bank of the river in
Louisiana between Vicksburg and
Baton Rouge. In this view, Major
engineers, concurred, expressing an
opinion that the flood might cause a
tremendous loss in western Louisiana
unless measures of levee strengthening
can avert it.
