Another Step Forward

IANoSHVA OtSP VI W Oh
Singleness of purpose and the elm
nation of disputes and jealousies
within groups Of farm producers and
distributors, are essential to the sue
cess of cooperative movements.
The New York Milk Shed furnishes
a good example of this. That is the
territory served by one of the oldest
and largest cooperative organizations
in It's field. This organization has
been pounding home to farmers, for
many years, the need for concentrated
effort, for answering and united sup
port of an established cooperative.
Recently one of the big dairy compa-
MES in New York announced: I'VE
believe the plan of a single milk mar
keting association is sound and will
be of mutual benefit to distributors
and producers. AS evidence OF our
willingness to support a constructive
movement for the betterment of the
industry, we are hereby giving notice
that on June we will purchase milk
from the Dairymen's League Coopera-
tive Association, Inc, believing that by
so doing, we will be making distinct
contribution to the future stabiliza-
ton of markets and better returns for
producers and distributors"
This marks a distinct step forward
for the New York dairymen. 1t illus
trates, better than argument, the fine
fruit that grows from a strong and
aggressive farm cooperative.

A Change for the Better

The recent fracas at the Cleveland
American League baseball park, in
which q group of Chicago White Sox
players INDUCED in fistic attack on
Umpire George Moriarty, was news
because 1t represented q very rare &C.
currence; and for that reason it en-
phasi0es the way in which baseball
has changed.
Actual physical encounters are rari-
ties in big league baseball these days.
The players seldom come to blows
with one another. The umpires sell
dom have to be protected after the
game ends.
Yet such things used to be COM
monplace. A baseball player not only
had to be a capable athlete; he had
to be handy with his fists as well.
The steady patron of a ball park
usually could count on seeing at least
one good fight q week. if not more.
The game itself hasn't changed. But
the conditions under which it Is
played, and the character Of the play
ers, has.

COHAN'S CONVERSION

COHAN'S CONVERSION
New York, June 11.-From Broad
ways own favorite son, George M.
Cohan, comes something like q final
commentary on the changing times.
Broadway, presumably arlaesthe-
tized against shocks, allowed itself a
slight CULVER when word came that
the far-famed Cohan offices in the
Knickerbocker building had been or
dered abandoned. Thus, far out in
Hollywood, does the Yankee Doodle
Boy give his regards to Broadway!
X X x
Still, this was consistent with the
events of season. The chin has be-
come favorite target for the fates!
Examine the records of almost any
great producer of. a few years back
and you'll find. a score that goes
something like this: AL Woods, mo-
mentarily out of the receivers
clutches, tried one comeback and
failed; Winthrop Ames appeared to
have retired; George G. Tyler went
unrepresented but flirted with "the
road; Charles Dillingham; lay ill in
a hospital when his theater went to
the banks; Arthur Hammersteins
playhouse passed through a couple of
hands; William Harris, Jr., and
Dwight Deere Wiman didn't even try.
Only a couple of productions came
from Jed Harris, William A. Brady,
Brock Pemberton, Arthur Hopkins
and several others.
X X X
Whereas, Cohan attempted a reit-
Grafton of the new generation theme
and hit the rocks. He has had, more
recently, play Confidential Serv-
ice" in Chicago and midwest points.
Then a movie opportunity came.
Cohan, cool to such offers in the past,
thought 1t wise to accept Hollywood
money. In other days. his Broadway
offices had continued to function.
Now he has sliced off that overhead
and requested his staff to join him
in the West.
Thus is a theater legend surren-
dered to the janitors!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Kinks Rolled Out

Thanks for the ticket to the Somer-
saultaqua. Before started doing my
daily dozen rolls the scar of my ap-
pendicitis operation was giving me
trouble-adhesions or something, they
thought. Thanks to this suggestion
of yours there Is no more trouble
Cd. L. L.
Answer-People who have recently
had some such operation frequently
inquire whether one may go in SWIM
ming or play marbles or NOV the
lawn or something six weeks or six
months after the operation. AS a
rule one not only may but should re-
sumo all such physical activities with
in two or three weeks after getting
out of bed and the better surgeons
nowadays insist on operative patients
beginning regular exercises even be-
fore they get out of bed, as this policy
has proved much more effective than
the old time coddling policy. Be it
noted, however. that / have no RENE

The Corn Crop and Industry

The Corn Crop and Industry
Who remembers when the slang ex-
preston "corn-fed" was used to indi-
cate an individual with more than
average rotundity?
The phrase has long since passed
out of our current vocabulary, and
rightly so, for the average American
now eats less-much less-corn than
his father did.
No longer ago than 1899, when corn
meal mush still was major article
Of diet in many homes, the average
American ate 1908 pounds of corn a
year. In 1929 the figure was 1913
pounds per inhabitant.
One of those bright lads who like
to figure such things, has computed
that II corn meal was as generally
used today as in 1899 the increase in
population would mean the grinding
Of 310,00O,000 bushels of corn annually
for human food alone. That would
make lot of corn meal mush.
The corn grower need not be dis
couraged. however, for as the use Of
corn as human food has declined,
other uses have been found for it.
The department of agriculture has
a list of the products Of corn, which
contains over $50 different articles
running all the way from acetic acid,
alcohol, axle grease. buttons, car
springs, car wheels, cigarette holders,
face-powder, filling for horse collars.
incense, down to radio equipment.
shaving soap. shoe horns, telephone
receivers, varnish, vinegar, and wax.
A writer many years ago said
THUS the magic corn plant feeds us,
sings to us. washes us clean, hands us
a pipe Of peace, gives us abundant
energy. and at the close of day pro-
vides us with bed"
All Of which is source of satisfac-
ton as we note the increasing acre
age of corn in North Dakota and the
fact that the crop now is generally
we'll above the ground and growing
strongly.

SUBSTITUTES FOR COD LIVER
OIL

1t is now the general practice
everywhere to give every baby a suit
able cod liver oil ration from the age
of one month to the age of one year,
(amateur mothers may learn about
this and other wrinkles from the
Brady Baby Book, copy of which will
be mailed if you write in for it and
enclose 10 cents in coin and stamped
envelope bearing your address,. The
chief purpose of this is to prevent
ricketts,, but cod liver oil contains vi
tamin A as we'll as Vitamin d, and
we have some good evidence that vi
tamin A helps the natural immunity
process, particularly immunity against
respiratory infections.
Drs. A. G. deSanctis and j. D. Craig
have been studying the effects Of cod
liver oil ration and of other concen-
trateS or substitutes over a period OF
three years or more, and comparing
them.
They gave infants cod liver oil in
doses of three teaspoonfulS a day
which they estimate would represent
ITO Steenbock Vitamin D units. This
prevented ricketts, in 81 out of 100
cases.
Viosterol 10OD, given in 10-drop
daily doses representing 300 Steen-
book units) prevented ricketts, in only
II out of 100 cases.
Viosterol 25OD, in 10-drop daily
doses representing $50 Steenbock Vi
! tamin D units, prevented ricketts, in
81 out of 100 cases.
Viosterol 5O0D, in 1Q-drop daily
doses representing $500 Steenbock
Vitamin D units, prevented rickets
in 80 cases out of 100.
Cod Liver Oil in concentrate tab
let form given in doses Of three tab
let's daily representing $50 Steenbock
Vitamin D units, prevented rickets
in 80 cases out of 100.
These investigators question wheth-
err Vitamin D is the only factor nee.
essary to protect against ricketts,. They
are of the opinion that Vitamin A
and possibly still other factors, have
something to do with it, and hence
the plain cod lover oil is more effec-
tive than the more expensive substi.
