The Farmers Benefited

Speaking of the farmer and the
price Of farm products, it is point
ed out that the farmer on the basis
of present prices can obtain more
in return for the exchange OF his
corn or stock than ever before in
the history of the country. This
fact is explained somewhat in this
fashion: while the cost to the farm
er of materials necessary for his
welfare has advanced tremendously
since the outbreak Of the war, the
value received for his contributions
TO the market is much greater in
proportions. Farm implements have
gone up, clothing is higher, sugar
is more expensive, but yet for a
given number Of bushels Of corn or
hundred-weight Of hogs, he can get
more farm implements. more sugar
and more clothing than ever before.

ing them to pass Immediately the

ment OF the federal child labor act.
The child labor law goes into effect

preparation is needed il the plans

The "Hyphen" Eliminated

The elimination OF the hyphen in
the national crisis is strongly graft
flying to Washington authorities.
One striking illustration Of the pat
riotic enthusiasm Of those who are
able to boast Of their Teutonic an
cestry was shown in Philadelphia
recently. At the annual charity
ball given in the Academy Of Music
by the Philadelphia Maennerchor,
the great hall was crowded when
the orchestra struck up the "Star
Spangled Banner" All in the
Auditorium jumped TO their feet
and joined in the stirring strains. A
huge American flag fell across the
rear OF the stage and the thousands
present burst into cheers. Judging
from such spontaneous indications,
there seems TO be no reason TO
doubt the patriotism Of Americans
Of Teutonic ancestry.

Mr.. Warwick was notified last

Editor OF The Citizen:
Mrs. Dodge and doubtless en-
