LARGE PRODUCTION IS URGED
Farmers Should Take Advantage Of
Assured Demand for Food for
Next Year, u is Declared.

Recently conditions have changed
very materially. It is one thing to
grow potatoes to be sold at 40 cents
a bushel and quite another to pro-
duce the same crop to be marketed
at 80 cents OF a dollar, not to speak
Of higher prices. City men know
these facts if they have had country
experience or farm property. They
understand both the former extreme
difficulties Of making a farm yield a
decent living for any family and the
present possibilities of fine profits. If
anything resembling the existing
markets for farm staples-wheat
$3.50 or more a bushel and hogs $15
a hundredweight-could be counted
on for term of years there would be
a rush Of city labor and city money
into farming.
This is why, in view of the assured
demand for food for the next year, at
any rate, it seems reasonable and not
impertinent to urge farmers not to
mistrust the future of prices or let
past i'll fortune prevent them from
making their land do its best and
most this season, says the Cleveland
Leader. 1t is only part of the gen.
eral effort to meet the demands of
great national emergency with the
largest possible production of staples
of all needed kinds, whether from
farms or factories. - Cleveland

BABY IS POOR COLLATERAL
Cannot Be Held as Lien for Payment
Of Board Bill, Court Holds on
Petition Of Mother.

- oaasNa 49,
A baby cannot be held as lien for
q board bill, acco$tIing to a ruling
made by Magistrate Breen in the
Washington Heights court, a New
York newspaper reports. The ques-
ton thus decided arose in the case of
Mrs. Ebba Snyder, twenty-three
years old, wife of Cornell univer-
sity student, against Mrs. Anna
Weiss, whom she accused of keeping
possession of her two-year-old son,
Harry Snyder, Jv., as security for a
claim of $14S.s7 owed for the care of
the child.
Mrs. Weiss has had charge Of the
baby since the plaintiff left the city
to see her husband at ithaca in JAN
uary, with the understanding that a
weekly sum was to be paid for the
child's board. Mrs. Snyder alleges
that when she called for Harry, Jr.,
the defendant refused to part with
him unless the outstanding board bill
was paid; SO she obtained a court
summons for Mrs. Weiss. M t..
Magistrate Breen ordered the re-
turn of the child, and Mrs. Snyder,

her husband of $50 a month, prom
