PRICE WOBBLE
NOT PACKERS
FAULT, CLAIM
Farmers Grievance Over
Fluctuating Prices Is
Answered.
DUE TO SLIM EXPORTS

In treating on the general dislikes
among the stock producers and farmers
Of the country of live stock fluctuations,
the year book of Swift & Co. states that
contrary to public opinion, the packers
of this country are not I'm any way re-
sponsibIe for such fluctuations nor do
they profit by them any more than do
the stock raisers and farmers Of the
country.
Packers say that they are just as much
DISCONNECTED, IL not more SO, by the
fUctuating prices of stock, because In
stead Of where the farmer and stock
producer has to contend with only the
fuctuation Of live stock the packer has
also to consider the flucuation of the
prices Of the finished product
Such fluctuations. packers say. are
largely due to variations in the receipts
Of cattle and swine at the large live stock
markets II the country, and Swift & Co,
in their last year book, says that that
company has organized an Investigating
committee To carry on n survey and
complete statistics II fluctuations Of live
stock prices as compared with the ttuc-
tUatiOn of prices Of other farm products
Packers of the country are of the opinion
that live stock price VACCINATIONS are no
greater if rs great, as those If any other
commodities.
duly large, packers say. OF the demands
for meats has been so small AIS to make
goods pile mp on tho packers hands. the
price Of live stock must necessarily drop.

TO EFFECT REMEDY.
This matter of price fuctuation, how
ever. packers declare. IS becoming Scri-
Gus and they state that they are only too
ready and willing 20 cooperate with the
live stock producers If the country in
order to improve the present conditions
The American Farm Bureau Fedora

In reviewing the operations for the past
year various packers reports show that

CITY WAITS TO se CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Ds.nS Nests~sd to the Glory That Has Dssn
 promloed Her.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves the Garden of Gethsemane draws the heart with sympathy. The walls rise severely above bare slopes where nothing grows, for 1t Is outside of the city proper that Biblical prophecies of the desolation of Jerusalem seem to be fulfilled.
 Today the city stands midway be- tween the horrors of the Turkish regime and the promised good of the British mandatory rule. Nothing has been done as yet in public way to beautify the city. North and west the houses struggle outside the walls; on the south forbidding slopes border the road to Bethlehem, and on the east lies the terrible Valley of Jehosha. phat--a valley of dry bones. William D. McCracken writes in Asia Maga- zine.
 Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly hated, anxiously sougth-how desper- ate history since Nebuchadnezzar captured it more than 25 centuries ago!
 Redeemed today. but in her naked ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed. She has as yet no grace; no covering for her ugly wounds. Some day her sides will glisten with the brightness of heavenly radiance; she will be washed and anointed like . bride waiting for the bridegroom.

 Nita was leaving in the morning and she must not go away without hearing. His love for her seemed al- most a pain, she was so sweetly. hu- manly dear, so understanding Nita had no home, Bob had learned. When the years at boarding school could be no more, she lived with one relative or another of her fathers. in apartments here or there. Nita's ia ther had loved, and married her girl mother In far away Spain, and though Nita was born and raised an Ameri- can, the Spanish enehantment of her departed mother still lay in the girls dusky eyes and voice. At length she left the piano and came toward Bob with her slow smile of greeting.

The fashionable galoshes that are now Tapping about the ankles of pretty girls were first introduced in
 America about 1880 In Boston. The galOshes or boots were as ugly and clumsy as they are today. but were even more popular. They required peculiar care, as the manufacturers had little knowledge of the use of rubber gum In winter they froze hard and stiff, and had to be thawed out before they could be worn, and care had to be taken not to thaw
 them too well. or they would run into a sticky mass In the summer they got sticky and shapeless unless kept on ice and taken out during rain storm only.

Kidnapped by Mrs. Barrett,
Wife of N. Y. Physician.

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
AsHEvILLE n. c., Feb. 27.-William
Hurd Barrett. the eleven-year-old son
OF DR. Frederick James Barrett. physi-
clan, of New York city. who is spend
ing a vacation in Ashevile, disappeared
Friday afternoon.
On two previous occasions the boy
has been taken from his father by his
mother. Marian A. Barrett, who, ac-
cording to the latest reports, was living
in San Francisco. 1t is believed she has
again spirited away the child
william left his home Friday after
noon to go for a bicycle ride. He was
last seen entering an automobile about
midnight Friday where he had left it be-
fore entering the automobile.
DR.. Barrett was Colonel in the Medi-
cal Corps and commanding officer at
Camp Hancock Base Hospital. He was
also chief Of the Section of Internal
Medicine of the Surgeon-General's Of
fee of the army at Washington during
the war.
The domestic troubles of the Barretts
first became public when in 1913 DR..
Barrett brought suit in New York city
for divorce and the custody of the child.
They were separated and the case was
heard by referee. But before the re-
port of the referee was confirmed the
matter was dropped and reconcilia-
ton reached. The court, however,
awarded the custody Of the child to the
father.
In August, 1919, the trouble started
again and the couple were separated,
the father retaining possession of the
child. who was placed in school In New
England. Finally the mother found the
child and instituted habeas corpus pro-
ceedngs In a New York court in March,
1920.
In the meantime another suit for d.
vorce had been instituted and the child
became temporarily the ward of the
court. Three days later the mother Is
alleged to have taken the child by force
and then her attorneys started action
to have the writ set aside. A referee
was again appointed. not only TO look
into the divorce suit but to decide
whether the mother should be held in
contempt OF court.
AS q result OF this action the father
was awarded full legal custody of the
child on November 1S. 1920, the au-
thorization reading: For the care. Gus

rett had previously taken the child. first
to Canada and then to California. where
she was finally found.
DR.. Barrett went to California. where
through legal process he obtained pos
session of the child. He returned 20

eral weeks ago came here.

WARNING BY LEGIONISTS
Trouble Feared When Crowd
Gathers to Hear Lecture on
Horrors Of the Rhine

A heavv police guard will be thrown
around Madison Square Garden tonight
and the inside OF the structure will be
patrolled by detectives and men In uni
form as measure OF precaution against
a possible attempt to stop the mass
meeting Of German sympathizers called
by DR.. Otto Won Mach. to discuss the
Horrors of the Rhine" The large num-
Der of protests made by patriotic and
civic organizations against holding the
meeting has caused Richard z. Enright,
Police Commissioner. to order that
virtual army Of cops be placed on guard.
The American Legion and the Daugh-
ters of the Cincinnati lodged formal pro-
tests yesterday with Mayor Hylan
against the proposed meeting. Both
bodies asked that the permit to hold the
gathering be cancelled. A letter sent to
Mr.. Hylan by Charles G. Blakeslee.
State commander of the American
Legion says:
'It is respectfully called to your at
tention that the report of the General
commanding the American army in Ger

French colonial troops were withdrawn
from the Rhine district some time ago.
This meeting to be held next Monday
evening is to protest. according to their
own literature. against the continued oc-
cupation Of this territory by these
troops. Inasmuch as the United States
is still technically at war with Germany
it seems to the American Legion that
such a meeting would be serious
breach of loyalty to our allies.
THE American Legion will not
countenance any action on the part of It's
members which will in the slightest de-
gree disturb the peace. but 1t cannot be
held responsible for the action OF those
outside of the legion who feel so deeply
on this subject. So many letters and
messages Of protest have come to us
within the past week regarding this
meeting that our organization feels that
it should be respectfully brought to your
attention that the meeting, if held. may
lead to serious disorder, contrary to the
laws which we are both pledged to up
hold.
"On behalf Of the New York State
department Of the American Legion, 1t
is earnestly requested that permit for
this meeting be withheld. or II the same
is already granted that it be cancelled
