London.-The severest penalty vet
given for violation of the farm cult
walton acts has just been administered
to Alfred White, a farmer of Maid

thorities to cut down his acreage of
hops to one-half. He paid no atten-

would make a profit of $4,000 out of
hops, and so could well afford to pay

added a sentence of two months In

TOUL, FRANCE-There is an 49,
month-old baby with a perpetual
smile and an iron constitution at the
American Red Cross. home for Ref
ugee Children here today who ought
to have an American god-mother.
Simone Bother, French war child, is
probably the champion war baby of
the entire war. More trials and trib-
ulations have been crowded into her
short young life than in any other life
of equal period. Fate has played as
many pranks with her than perhaps
with any other living fodder. Today
Simone has a smile for every one and
as for disposition she might just have
well been born with a silver spoon in
her mouth instead of under conditions
which are as much the reverse as day
is from night.
Born in a Cave.
To begin with, Simone was born in +,
n of those dark, unsanitary, vermin
filled v where French peasant
folks live after the German guns have
blown their homes to bits. Simone's
father, of course, wasn't present. He
had disappeared several months be-
fore the event from the very region
just over the hills where the French
trenches face the enemy and keep him
from advancing further into the de-
partment of Meurthe and Moselle.
Simone's mother, being a sturdy
French peasant woman, gave the lit
lie mite strength to live even under
Ill the adverse conditions.
