Complaints Made on
Grain Sack Deals

Complaints regarding grain deal
dealers who have violated the state
law requiring payment for sacks
have been received at the farm bu-
reau office.
Formerly dealers deducted q
pound from each sack of grain. The
farm bureau protested this practice
and law was eventually passed re-
quiring dealers if they deduct tare
to pay the farmer for the sack, the
payment to be one half the San
Quentin price for new sacks or 4
the San Quentin price for old, the
present San Quentin price is 60
cents. Violation of the law is a mis-
demeanor.
Scott B. Foulds, farm bureau Sec
retary has received many complaints
relative to disregard by dealers OF
this law and said that any farmer
who has not received payment for
his sack may make complaint to tne
district attorney or to the agricul-
tural commissioner, or file COM
plant before justice of the peace.
The act applies to fruits, nuts. and
grains, stating that grains include
wheat, barley, oats, rye and milo.

Nothing to Worry About

Leading thinkers are beginning to be worried over
what they fear will be a loss of character on the part
of our people who have been compelled to accept assist
ance from the government during the past few years.
Practically every newspaper that one sees carries the
forebodings of men occupying high positions who be-
wall the loss of individual independence.
Certainly there is much logic in the ideas expressed
and it may be that these fears are justified. Men and
women, unable to tell where the next meal may come
from, are not apt to exhibit the independent spirit that
is so often extolled in public addresses. However, the
same fear has suppressed men and women for many ages
The laborer, working for a business enterprise, seldom
has assurance of a permanent job and too often in the
past the independence of wage earners has been OPP
pressed by the arrogance of employers.
We are rather inclined to believe that this loss of
independence, of which the speakers talk, will not be
pronounced in the event that the government extends
certain aid to unfortunate individuals as a matter of
right. The mere fact that old age pensions and unem-
ployment insurance is available to all upon equal terms
is itself a guarantee that this form of social protection
will not Cypress individual independence. 1t is some
times different, however, when wages and necessary in
come depend upon holding ones job by surrendering
convictions. This has been known to happen in the past.

War Reports Conflict

The present warfare in Ethiopia is rather difficult TO
follow with certainty. The official statements of the two
nations involved, Italy and Ethiopia, are very contradic-
tory at times and leaves much to be desired from a
standpoint of frankness-
This is nothing new in warfare. The reading public
experienced the same doubt and uncertainty during the
World War at many stages as the communiques of the
various governments claimed too much, denied reports
of their adversaries and sometimes omitted reference to
important events.
So it is to one trying to follow the military cam
paign in Ethiopia. Recently, both sides claimed decided
advantages in the northern sector, in The Tembien re-
gion. The Italians got to the press with the first report
of AN offensive which they undertook to forestall an
Ethiopian attack, claiming that they killed 10000 soldiers
of the Emperor with a loss of only TAB Tor themselves.
The Ethiopian leaders claimed to have regained the
initiative, to have routed superior forces, killing 5000
Italians against 1100 of their own soldiers, specifically
claiming the capture of thirty-three field guns, seventy
five machine guns, $500 rifles and eighteen tanks.
Al of which suggests that reports of military oper-
atoms by belligerents should be taken with several
grains of the proverhal salt.

Whose Business Is This2

A special dispatch to a metropolitan newspaper in
the East tells of the death of an 80-year-old recluse, who
was found in an unheated shack, a victim of exposure.
The incident can be duplicated in other states many
times. The question arises as to society's responsibility,
if any. Should government, as societys' agent, be blamed
if an old man-past the age of work-dies during a biz
zard? Should anybody be concerned that such a fate
is experienced, occasionally, by women and children?
What are we to do when we know that these things
occur during the spending of millions of dollars to re-
lieve human suffering? What are we to think of human
beings, with boosted religion and civilization, who ap-
parently care so little for others that old people, without
relatives or means, die alone in the cold?
These questions are not asked cynically but to re-
mind US of the need for something better than present
methods. AT least a start has been made in federal and
state legislation and good citizens should see that the
task is completed.

EATING FOR HEALTH

Listening to a group of ladies talk
ing, the writer is impressed that ont
of the most absorbing topics of con-
versation is cooking recipes. Most oil
the interest ccnters around desserts
and foods that are mixed and COM
bined with condiments to make them
taste good.
Civilized races have gotten so far
away from the simple food provided
by nature that it is no longer palat-
able to them, unless seasoned with
condiments. Probably no race of peo-
pie in the world suffers SO much from
constipation, %colitis, and intestinal dis
orders as the Americans.
In our country malnutrition is evil
dent among the rich as we'll as the
poor. There is no nation in which there
is less excuse for this. Vegetables OF
every kind as well as many fruits will
grow, if planted and given reasonable
care. Every little farm should provide
milk and eggs in abundance for the
needs of the family.
Somehow our boards of health do
not get very good results by sending
out doctors and nurses to remove ton
sis, and hold dental clinics. 1t is like
pouring a little water on a burning
building. Instruction in the care Of the
body, the preservation of the teeth,
ETC., must begin in the schools and
homes.
Prospective mothers should be in
structed how to eat properly, in order
to put the right material into the teeth
of their unborn children. Calcium or
lime enters largely into the formation
of sound teeth. The expectant mother
should eat fresh leafy vegetables,
beans, fruits, milk etc. The diet should
be rich in lime and phosphorus.
Only in this way will the child form
sound teeth. The baby should have
milk; at first breast milk is best, fruit
juices and cod liver oil with plenty
of sunshine. If this regimen were car
ried out, the expensive dental clinics
could probably be dispersed with in a
few years.
When the Deutschland, a German
ship, captured during the World War
a well-provisioned vessel, they
thought themselves in luck, for the
prize was abundantly provisioned with
flour, white sugar, polished rice,
cheese, meat, coffee etc. They re-
NAMED out after the capture for two
or three months eating the above
mentioned food. The result was hat
all on board developed scurvy. The
officers were not so i'll as the men,
for they had a little fruit.

Two or three died. The others were
fed upon fruit juices, dishes made
from wheat and rice polishings, and
vegetable broths. Gradually they re-
covered. But those lusty German sea-
men had learned the lesson that they
could not live upon the deficiency diet
that is consumed in so many American
families.

Tax payers of Plentywood, faced with meeting the
obligations of municipal government with the proceeds
of levies upon our assessed valuations, will probably be
interested to learn that the City of New York, for 1896,
has assessed real estate in that city S16,678, 763, 548.
This amount represents an increase Of $28 1892, 349
over the assessments for the previous year. 1t is inter-
esting to note, however, that the real estate Of corpora
tons in the city has been assigned an increased value of
1921, 877, ITS and that real estate values have been shift
ed from other owners to the extent of almost $700,000,-
600.
We know very little about the valuation of New
York real estate but from these figures it appears that
the corporations have been murdered by the new as
sessments or else they have been lodging taxes on an
immense scale in previous years. Naturally, we cannot
tell which is the true statement.
1t is worth noting, however, that a utility company
had its realty values increased more than $250,000,CO0
another by more than $2OO.OOO,OO, a third more than
500 00O,O 900 and other increases of more than $4,000
600 were assessed.
The next time you feel good put a FIVE dollar bill in

feel good, you are feeling good.
Now that the Senate committee is satisfied that
John P. Morgan didn't cause the last war it might be
pertinent to ask what the boys are going to do about the
next one.
