Star Special.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-"Abolish child

Henry Neil. the Oak Park. Ill. man
who is famous as the father of the
mothers pension idea.
Neil Is about TO make a tour OF the
cities of the country TO carry his new
humanitarian and economic slogan
TO the people. and among others he
will visit South Bend
NO city may claim TO be rich.

long as there is one child within it's

Judge Neil as he started on his tour
today.
II am searching for a city which

ing political. business and social ques-
tions. and abolish child poverty"
Judge Neil asks questions when ne
arrives in town. That is the method
he used when he carried on the most
successful reform campaign in Amer
lea. and in three years had the moth
ers' pension system adopted by law
In 10 states. AS the result Of his
initial agitation thousands Of children
today are fed, as they are schOOled,
without the faint Of charity.
Among the questions Judge Neil
will ask when he arrives are:
What relation, If any, is there be-
tween the millions of money on de-
poslts in our banks and the fact that
children in this city have not proper
care on account OF pOverty2"
Should any city boast Of it's wealth,
resources and opportunities when
half Of the children born Of parents
who are poor die before they reach
school age?"
Should the business men Of this
city unite and abolish child poverty"

Frank JeffrieS Sees a Robin

Signs Of early spring are appearing
in South Bend despite the prediction
of more cold weather. The two tru-
est harbingers of the season, robins
and dandelion green's, have already
appeared.
Mrs. Robert Hitter. 1901 Quincy St,
telephOned TO the ews-Times office
Wednesday morning that she had
picked a large mess of dandelion
green's in neighboring fields that were
quite as good as those of April or
May. And Frank Jeffries has been a
robin.
The mild weather has also coaXed
the naples into bloom and in some
gardens tulips and narcissus and 9TH
er dubious plants are two or three
inches out Of the ground. Even dur
ing the cold days, when the snow
was on the ground a number of OBJ
servers noticed .hS peculiar phenom-
enon Of the et nv bloSsoming of the
maple trees. ne tiny red blooms
falling onto the sidewalk were notice
able in the snow, and now the new
shoots on the trees are conspicuous
especially on the white naples.
Last but not least. the sparrows are
fighting in much more musical tones.

WHERE WE STAND

A merchant who is not courting
bankruptcy makes his necessary Dor
rowing on his present assets. and
not on the business he expects next
year, it is all very well to stimulat.
interest in a possible increase in a
certain foreign trade, due to the war
in Europe.
We have to remember that some
OF our best customers are becoming
rapidly impoverished, and that their
customers in South America and
elsewhere are also feeling the strain.
Where do we stand? We had a
bumper wheat crop and did nearly
as well in oats as we did last year.
and much better in corn. We have
more cotton than We know wnat to
do with. Barley and potatoes will
show large gains on 1918. and the
