If it is not certain, it should withhold publicity until it does know what it is bout. Were the government amenable to the law as is a newspaper, then the officials who sit at the desks in Washington might understand what constraint a newspaper is under at alt times to get its information straight," or, at least, to give currency to nothing that will harm anyone. Co-Operation and Commerce. Two strangely clashing notes are sounded by two eminent gentlemen, Secretary Hoover and Congressman McLaughlin. Each is a thinker, a reasoner, versed in affairs and taken into public life from a sphere wherein his intellectual de velopment had brought him note. Each is familiar with the philosophy as well as the processes of social development, and it may seem surprising that they are at opposite ends of one of the great questions of the day. Writ ing to the farmers of Nebraska, through The Bee, Congressman McLaughlin pleads for co operation, which means close consolidation of in terests that all may be well served. Speaking to the National Manufacturers' Association, Secre tary Hoover pleads for individual rather than co operative effort. Ferhaps the truth may be found somewhere, between the two. Too much co-operation may lead to oppressive monopoly, while too much individualism is likely to beget competition that is ruinous. The natural tendency of business is towards greater units, with the definite under standing that finally the point is reached where the addition of units becomes wasteful rather than efficient. The co-operation, against which Mr, Hoover argues is the kind made possible under the Webb law, whereby exporters are enabled to protect themselves against such combinations as the German group that purchased, raw materials for all its members, the bid of the group being the bid of each of its members. This, organiza tion, by whateve'r name it bore and under what everJkg it operated, was familiar to American exporters for some years before the war, and its operations were not admired. To offset it, the Webb law permits producers to sell just as the others buy, a control of price that seems to be warranted under the circumstances. Unrestricted competition is possible, but highly improbable in the foreign trade as matters stand, regardless of. "tne plea made by the secretary of commerce, wjio sees "but one side of the picture, no matter how comprehensive his world view. Congressman McLaughlin contends for the co-operative marketing of farm produce. This implies something more than just member ship in one or all of the grain exchanges of the country. Whether it will succeed must depend on the farmers, themselves; how they handle their own business is to be the acid test for their efforts. Co-operation is no longer an ex periment, but to bring the benefits expected it demands not only capital but prudent manage ment as well. Farmers are quite as clearly jus tified in their project as are the exporters who operate jmder the Webb law. 'Any argument that suggests combination in one . line supports ij in another. Individualism has as much chance today as ever, but should not be allowed to stay the processes of evolution in social development. "Look on This Picture, Then on That." Railroad magnates are lugubriously besieging congress and the public, painting pathetic pic tures of the plight into which the lines have fallen. Reduced operating costs are essential, else the whole fabric of the transportation in dustry will break down. Chiefly the drive has been directed against the pay rolls. Here comes another view, however. The Hill interests-are preparing to float a refunding Issue to replace the ur1ington purchase bonds that fall due this year. Consequently a well written, entirely con servative and wholly alluring prospectus is sent out, offering the "Burlington joints" (Northern Pacific and Great Northern being included) at 6a per cent.- The justifiable optimism of the bond circular 5s in marked contrast to the somber colors used in depicting the situation for the senate com mittee. One point to be kept in mind is that the interest rate is increased by 62.5 per cent, that is from 4 to per cent. In the original transac tion James J. Hill gave the Perkins crowd $200, 000,000 of 4 per cent bonds in exchange for $100, 000,000 6 per cent stock. Here the earnings of the money were increased 33 1-3 per cent. On the face of the proposed issue, the dividend rate of 6 per cent on Burlington stock in 1900 be comes a fixed interest charge of 13 per cent in 1921, an increase of 116 2-3 per cent. ,' There is no question as to the Burlington's earning capacity. It serves a region of wonder ful wealth, and is assured at all times of all the business it can handle over its tracks. The pub lic is quite likely to assume, however, that if the capital employed in the Burlington opera tion is entitled to the increased return indicated, the labor there engaged isequally deserving of a corresponding advance in pay. Tincher Bill and Exchange ' Opposition Comes Mostly From Objection to the Co-Operatim K Minor Horrors of Teaching. All parents at times are astounded or irritajed by the directions for keeping clean and healthy that are brought home from schooj by their children. There is little just ground for resent ment, however, for instruction calling for dili gent brushing of the teeth, for drinking milk and not coffee, and for taking a bath at least once a week, coming from teacher somehow . make more of an impression on the little ones than do the same principles when given by mother. ' r Children are now sent home when they have 8Bsore throat or show any symptom of con tagious disease. Sometimes a child is ordered honie to be cleaned. This happened the other day in Massachusetts and the indignant mother , promptly visited school and attempted to destroy the teacher with an axe. The technical term which describes the condition of little Evelyn is hediculosis, but call it what you will, it was a fighting word for Evelyn's mother. Happily the pupils rallied to the defense of their instructor and saved her from the deadly attack. Such an example as this may serve to con vince other parents that it is not unthinkingly or merely for the pleasure of hurting parents"feel ings, that teachers exercise strict control over the bodies as well as the minds of their charges. No doubt many a teacher has hesitated before being too explicit in her directions, and goes as far as she does, out of a sense of duty alone, iometimes in fear and trembling. :C War Department and the Press. ., The War department continues to lecture the newspapers of the land because of inaccuracies in statement. In the latest communique a story from Grand Island, published in a Norfolk paper, is taken as a text, and newspapers are blamed for not securing reliable information from the de partment before publishing ensational items. ' Back of this lecture may be discerned the War department defending itself from charges of care lessness in preparing the slacker lists. Most newspapers strive with great earnestness to get the facts back of every itent of news. Errors will creep in and mistakes result from various causes, so the experienced newspaper man is al ways inclined to deal leniently with others simi larly situated. The War department, however, has had over two years to check and correct the lists of names of men subject to call under the draft, and should have attained reasonable ac- rLl Ax Legal Light Is Dimmed. The deafli of Chief Justice White removes from the supreme court of the United States a man who was bitterly assailed, first upon his ap pointment as justice and later when he was made head of this tribunal, and yet whose career on the bench was marked by a fairness that stilled all criticism. A Louisiana sugar planter, he came to the senate at a time when the sugar bounty and tariff Was uppermost in discussion, and was a. leader in the opposition to the changes planned by President Cleveland. Some news papers, among them those ot notti parties, charged that Cleveland named him for the su preme court in order to get him but of the way of legislation. His record on the bench was such that Prcs ident Taft, in 1919, elevated him to the chief justiceship, disregarding the fact that he was a democrat It may be remembered that Mr. Bryan at this time displayed an equal lack of partisanship, and was fierce in his denunciation of the appointment. This was at a time when much political capital was being made of the trust issue and Mr. Bryan's criticism was based on the assumption that Chief Justice White owed his promotion to the influence of the monopolies. No act of Chief Justice White bore, out this charge of partiality. The supreme court during the decade of his leadership has lost none of its reputation and in fact has become more closely in touch with the change and growth of social ideals. Something of flexibility has been given the restrictions of the constitution, thus uphold 'ing its general principles but adapting them to modern conditions. When the majority of the court declared the - first income tax unconstitu tional, Justice White dissented, which may be taken as indication of his independent and far- seeing character. Who will fill the vacant place on the bench is not yet fittingly to be discussed, but if at the end of 27 years' service he will be as closely in step with the life about him as was Chief Justice White, no more could be asked." Washington, D. C, May 16. To the Editor of The Bee: The. recent press dispatches from Chicago and other grain exchanges to the effect that the exchanges will close down in the event that H. R. 5686, known as the Tincher bill, becomes law, will in my judgment, warrant my calling to the attention of your readers a few facts in connection with the progress of this leg islation. Extended hearings were held on the subject of "grain futures" during the Sixty-sixth con gress, and another, week's hearings held during the present congress when all of the exchanges were heard.' The general result was that the Tincher bill received the endorsement of all con cerned, iMr. Wells of Minneapolis, Mr. Griffin of Chicago, Mr. Wright of Omaha, Mr. Moffat of Kansas City, and other exchange men said in substance. "The Tincher bill is all right. It is a good bill." After the committee had reported the bill out with a few slight changes, telegrams and letters of protest of the usual kind began to j. come in from all over the grain belt. To say the committee, is putting it very mild. How to Keep WeH By DR. W. A.

This spring cleaning is not all unreasoning primitive instinct cropping out in the maternal side of the family, although the men folk are apt to come home and express disgust at the wild digging and scrubbing that has worn thewomen to a frazzle. Not even scouring cellars and whitewashing the walls is to be minimized or dodged, if full justice is to be done. In those dark corners and in those heaps of waste and trash, flies breed faster than they can be swatted. These little disease carriers can be stopped at the source now more easily than they can be killed when they have grown and multi plied in midsummer. Flics are signals that some thing is wrong in a house or neighborhood. A cleanup that does not include the piles of refuse about the yard or in the basement is not thorough enough to deserve the name- Italy's Choice. . Forty Italians were killed in riots on election day, but still the process of balloting is not so deadly as a revolution would be. There is some reassurance, too, to be found in the victory of the national coalition party, which will outnum ber the radicals two to one in Parliament, ac cording to incomplete return. There is still, however, .the contingency that the communist faction, defeated at the polls and deprived thus of control of the government might sever all connection1 with politics and take to direct action. Signor Giolotti, who has been upheld as premier of Italy, is an able and astute politician. During the war he was considered pro-German, and did not dare show his face in public places when the enthusiasm of conflict was on the peo ple. Just how much congratulation can be ex tended to Italy for having escaped radicalism at the cost of strengthening the. hands of an ad ministration whose leanings are toward the Ger mans rather than toward the allies is a poser. If those 200 good roads boosters who are touring northern Nebraska get stuck in the mud, their trip will make a more powerful lesson than all their speeches. A nose dive in an airplane restored the hear ing of a farmer who became deaf a year ago, and it probably would restore speech to a dumb man. Seven hundred prohibition agents have been laid off, but it was for lack of funds rather than for lack of violations of the law. Voters in Denver may be said to ha.ve knoeked the dayjight out of daylight saving. The principal advantages of the Tincher' bill are two: First, it does away with "puts" .and "calls," and second, it provides means whereby the secretary bf agriculture may ascertain in time by a system of reports whether there are practices on the exchanges which result in a manipulation of the market. The need and merit of these provisions are so apparent that no ar gument is needed to support them. The specific objections of the exchanges "now are made to the following sections of the bill, which, for the information of Nebraska farmers and grain men, I am giving in full. Subdivisions (b), (d) and (e) of section 5 and all of section 8: Section 5. That the secretary of agriculture is hereby authorized and directed to designate boards of trade as "contract markets" when, and only when, such board of trade 'comply with the following conditions and require ments: (b) 'When the governing board thereof provides for the making and filing of a" record and reports, in accordance with the rules and regulations and in such manner and form as may be prescribed by the secretary of agricul ture, showing the details and terms- of all transactions entered into by the board or the membgrs thereof, either in cash grain or for future delivery, and which record shall at all times be open to the inspection of any repre sentative of the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of Justice, and such record sJiall be in per manent form and shall show, trie parties to all such contracts, any assignments or transfers of such contract, the parties to and terms of such assignments, and the manner in which said contract is fulfilled, discharged, or termi nated.' ' (d) When the governing board thereof pro vides for the prevention of the manipulation of prices by the dealers or operators upon such hoard, including a reasonable limitation upon the total quantity of grain of the same kind covered by contracts unfilled or unsettled at any one time by or on behalf of the same per sons commonly called "open trades" in specu lative transactions, (e) When the governing board thereof ad mits to membership thereof and all privileges thereon on such boards of trade any duly au thorized ' executive officer of any lawfully formed and conducted co-operative associa tions of producers having adequate financial responsibility; Provided, that any such asso ciation or its representatives applying for ad mission to membership on a board of trade be able to and shall comply with and conform to air rules and, regulations of such board if the same have the apprqval of the secretary of agriculture. Section 8. That the secretary of agriculture may make such investigations as he may deem necessary to ascertain the facts regarding the operations of future exchanges and may pub lish from time to time, in his discretion, the results of such investigation and such parts of reports made to him under this act, and such Statistical information gathered therefrom, as he may deem of interest to the public. "WEAK," NOT "FAINT HEART." "A Hklllful young physician years ajro," W. Ij. C. writes, "encouraging me because of my weak heart, said You fellows with heart disease outlive us all.' As I am now 83V4, I am illustrating: this statement. In 1865 I strained my heart by heavy lifting- and was badly handicapped by it. "After over a year I went to the lder Dr. Austin M. Flint in New l ork. expecting a sentence of death. But he smiled at me as he said, 'When I was your age (he was then about 70 and I 28) I had the same kind of a heart you have, but ir you aro caTerui you can live as Ion sr as I have.' "In fact I have lived longer. I have been handicapped ' more or less through my years, but I have been settled here 53 years (now a senior minister), have written three historical books that have cost me much labor and I am a civil war veteran (private, in a short serv ice). Dr. Knig-ht, once of Boston, told me I had a 'mitral regugitant murmur.' " I take the privilege of publshing your letter for the good it will do others. I am sure both as a .minis ter and as a man you will be glad to have me do so. The only recom pense 'I can offer you is to call your attention to an article by Dr. Bar ringer in a recent number of the Journal of the American Medical Association. He offers proof that heart .failure in persons with heart disease is not due to shock or over exertion or exposure to any con siderable extent. It is not due so much to overstrain of the heart muscle or overdistending of the heart cavities or to overfatigue as it is to acute infections. The lesson which Dr. Barringer's article carries for you and all other old neoula with heart leaks is to g-uard against infections. Old people are vertf prone to bronchitis and pneumoifia. Above everything else an old .person should avoid pneu monia. To do this he should keep out of crowds, stay in the open air as much as possible and avoid get ting chilled or becoming overheated. If the old are so unfortunate as to catch cold they should take to their beds and stay there until the svmntoms have abated. All other -forms of infection should be guard ed against. Beyond question, your heart mus cle has good tone. In all proba bility it is amply able to do the ex tra work which your mitral valve leak throws on i. You have learned the secret of living an efficient life in spite of a heart leak. The good you do in proving that a man with heart disease can do his work and pass the four score mark should entitle you to 10 years more at least. Gen. Pershing's New Task (From the Washington Star.) In making- General Fcrshlner chief of the existing staff, as well a.t of the, recently conceived skeletonized general headquarters staff. Secre tary Weeks has reached a logical de cision. For, quite aside from the obvious qualifications of General Tershing to fill the dual post, any other course would have meant a divided and conflicting authority, the recasting- of the army reorgani zation act, and the relegating of America's foremost, military figure to a position of dubious importance. Any such program would have been Impossible of Justification. What Secretary Weeks had In mind since he became responsible for the efficiency ot the army has been the remolding of the theory which underlies the existence of the American peace-time general staff. That theory has been in the past such that the chief of the organiza tion has occupied the chair of an executive, concerned primarily with army administration rather than the position of actual leader of the peace army, preparing- and planning for the swift and effective transforma tion of that force into the maximum armed power of the nation.

Friend, did you ever study the pictures on the cover of an American seed cata logue? Harrisburg Telegraph. tary Weeks, aware of the fact that anv such condition was not n ac cord with the best conception of modern army organization, has been workiiyr steadily and with excellent judgment toward its correction. With General rershmg as itr chief, the general staff of the United States army will take its place a the actual brain of our fighting force on land. The administrative work of the staff, obviously but a portion of its legitimate and necessary func tions, will be assigned to General Harbord, designated assistant chief of staff. General Pershing will thus be free to devote the greater part of his great talents to the training ana organization of the regular ana re serve army, to the upbuilding: of a general headquarter staff . fully qualified to cope with the intricacies ot modern warfare, and to the per fection of plans for the transform ing of latent American resources in men and material into the maximum war power of the nation. That Is the prime purpose of the modern general staff, and that Is the task for which General Pershing, re lieved of the distress of the anomal ous position he has occupied since his return from his splendid achieve ments in France, is most admirably fitted. He will have,' ip his work of vitalizing a great position which has tended to drift toward uninspiring bureaucratism, the unqualified con fldence of the public. What's in a name?

Bohemian. - The sections that are protested by the ex changes most vigorously are section 8 and sub division (e) of section S. All that it is necessary to say concerning section 8 is that if there arc transactions on the exchanges that can not bear the light of publicity such practices should be discovered and stopped. If there are no such transactions then no one needs to fear publicity. Subdivision (e) which is being so vigorously protested provides that the exchanges designated by the secretary 67 agriculture as marketing places, must, by their rules, admit to member ship any duly authorized executive officer of any lawfully formed and conducted co-operative as sociations of producers having adequate financial responsibility, provided, that the officers of such associations shall comply with the rules and reg ulations of the exchange. This is really the point which draws the heavy fire from the oppo nents of the bill. The president of one of the larger exchanges says in a letter recently ad dressed to me, 4!As amended the bill . , . ap parently intends that we will be forced to admit co-operative elevators to membership in grain exchanges." The co-operative associations dis tribute their profits pro rata to their member ship, and rightly so. This practice constitutes the chief purpose for which the producers have been organized. The exchanges argue that the distribution of these profits constitute a "rebate" I ana tnat me practice oi reoaies is contrary to the rules of the exchange. Making Soy Bean Flour. W. P. K. writes: "A few days ago you printed a letter from W. C, V. asking where soy bean flour could be obtained for diabetics. have solved the problem by buying the soy beans and grinding them mvself. I get the beans from some of the grocers or by writing to the college of agriculture and asking for the address of some one who has such beans to sell. I buy the beans at 5 to 10 cents a pound and ' grind enough at one time to last for a week or two. This effects a great saving, as I used to have to pay .a cents a pound for flour sold by manufacturers of foods for diabet ics. I do the grinding with a small hand mill which cost me S3. Such a hand mill can be purchased throueh almost any hardware deal er. A good strong -coffee mill, I un derstand, will do the business, but perhaps will not grind the flour so fine as a mill made especially to grind cereals." A Small Family. J. C. C. writes: "Can a woman marrying for the first time at the age of 41 raise a family?" REPLY. At best no more than. a small one. It is hardly necessary to state, let alone argue, that the distribution of the profits of an asso ciation or producers to its own members is in no sense whatever a rebate, as the term rebate is understood in the grain, or any other business. in my judgment the fight of the exchanges to keep the co-operative associations from holding membership thereon is an unjust and a losing fight and that the sooner the exchanges recog nize this fact the batter it will be for all concerned. The co-operative, associations which have proven such a great benefit to the marketing sys tem of a number of European countries have come to America to stay. The co-operative pro gram is growing by leaps and bounds. The hos tile attf ude toward the co-operatives on Jthe part of those who champion the present system of marketing and distribution, will not stand the acid test of economy and utility. The most direct and most economic method of distribution from producer to consumer will ultimately be adopted. Tne fair-minded men will recognize the good that is in the present system and wel come all of the beneficial snsreestions and changes that will come through the experience of the co-ooerative associations. Mv own opinion is that no grain exchange will close down if the Tincher bill is enacted into law. Such declarations at this time are in the nature of pure "bluff," but should any or all of the exchanges rather close down than to submit their transactions to the light of publicity, then I . suspect that the American farmer and local grain dealer would say, "Let them close." The world will go on just the same and others will perform the function of marketing in perhaps as good or a better manner than those to whom has been entrusted this important duty. m. o. Mclaughlin.
