THE FARMERS AND FOOD CONTROL.

An Illuminating side light the food situation con-
tanned in expressions inserted in the Congressional
Record recently by Senator Smith of Michigan. These
were from farmers organizations and individual farmers
and they without exception endorsed the food control
measures before congress-
These expressions give us pretty clear idea to
whence the present panic prices We are told with
great JUNCTION that this is the first time in history
that the farmer has received for his products what they
really worth.
But let What is the object of food control?
Whence comes the insistent don nd? Plainly the de-
mand the direct result of foe prices that out of all
proportion to wages and to prices in every other line
Is it reasonable to believe that if the farmers
ceving anything like the present retail prcesmnus, of
course, reasonable per of mdclemens proitthat
they would be not only willing but anxious to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg?
The plain truth is, the farmer is not benefited by the
present high prices of food in any degree to recompense
him for what he is injured by extavagant prices in other
lines He is paying vastly more for every purchase he
makes, from poW point to tractor engine. What he
gains from his small profits his sales of food stuffs
is than offset by the increase in the cost
of everything that he must buy to operate his farm This
the farmers know, and this is why they almost with
out exception, heartily in favor of government food
trol--a control which will establish minimum well
as maximum price
The specializing food pirates will have to hunt some
other scapegoa for their sins instead of the farmer
his "interests

and at this writing is serving a sem
tence at the House Of Correction for
non-support of his family.
The burden of supporting the
family during his absence fell heavily
upon Mrs. Kowalewski and her daugh-
ter Helena, 16.
The mother took in washing. We
know of daughters of sweet sixteen"
to whom life is sweet, and rosy, and a
pleasure. Not so with Helena. This
girl was obliged to work in laundry
to earn a few dollars a week with
which to support her younger brothers
and sisters. She was willing work
er and an honest girl.
Sweet sixteen has It's rights.
Helena's mother recognized them, and
when Helena asked permission to at
tend dances twice a week, she received
it on condition that she would be
home before midnight. Helena always
complied with this reasonable precau-
ton of her mother.
Helena's reputation was excellent
in the opinion of neighbors, supported
by the testimony of Police Officer
Drewek. Yet Helena was ordered by
Probation Officer Louisa Tillson to ap-
pear before the juvenile court. There
it was explained to Judge Franz
Eschweiler that Helena's father was
a "drunkard," the family was STEPPED
in poverty, and Helena recently at.
tended a private baptism party where
she was seen to drink some "whiskey.'
The records of the court show the
following entry:-
PETITION. Complaint filed BY
Miss l.. Tillson. Remained out late Al
night and is incorrigible."
Numerous witnesses testified thai
Helena was always home before mid
night and led a moral life.
But Judge Eschweiler sentenced
Helena to five years (until 21) i'm

prisonment at hard labor at the House
of Good Shepherdl
The sentence began on January
%, 1915.
Mrs. Kowalewska endeavored to
have the verdict changed or modified,
and the girl released from this me-
diaeval prison. But Judge Eschweiler
said that an appeal must be made to
the supreme court Of the state. Mrs.
Kowalewska had no money for this,
and Helena is a prisoner at the House

2. Another. Story
The mother of this girl related to
US her futile endeayors to obtain her
daughters release. She said:
~ am not informed why my
daughter was sent there. She was a
good girl, have reason to suspect
that whenever the sisters are short
on help, their friends among the
priests send the girls to work in their
laundry, Such Is my only explana-
ton of my daughters imprisonment
in the House of Good Shepherd.
~ have tried for two years to get
her out, but failed. I have visited
my daughter pretty regularly once a
month, -
"They work till late in the even
ing, but they have no means of know
ing the time Of the day when they
quit.
"For dinner, which Is the MONDAY
meal, they receive soup, scant piece
Of meat, one potato and some apple
sauce; and for supper again bread and
coffee, the, same as for breakfast.

by the ever-present sister after five
minutes, because we talk Polish and
the German sisters do not like it.
Those speaking German or English
can talk longer.

are punished severely. There are

is as follows;

talking Polish were, for this crime
placed in a dark cell for three days,
then they were dressed in sacks of
dark cloth and paraded over the en-

to kneel at one end thereof, while the
sister sat at the other end. Then the
two victims were ordered to fold their

required TO kiss upon the knee, and
beg her forgiveness. Then they were
given permission to return to work
