BELIEVED I'M SAFETY FIRST
Small Ruth Wanted to Be Quite Sure

There was never any haste at Aunt
Dorothea's table; consequently Ruth.

TO expect. Everything was served by
Aunt Dorothea herself. and age had
strict precedence.
There came a day. however, when
Ruth. returning to the family dining
room after a season spent IN her room
with sore throat, found at her place
little delectable apple pie. SO small
that il seemed as if il must be meant

DISCUSS SURPLUS CROPS
Southern Commercial Congress Will
Try to Solve The Problem
Associated Press Dispatch1

chicago, November 1S.-A busi-
ness like solution of the problem of
Americas surplus crops. upon which
the prosperity of the nation is de-
clared to largely depend will be
ton at the fifteenth annual conYen-
ton of the Southern Commercial
Congress 10 be held here November
20 to %.
Carl Vrooman, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the con-
gress. declared the solution of this
problem would eliminate the great
majority of the ills of forty million
farmers and greatly alleviate con-
ditions among fifty of sixty million
other Americans.
Plans whereby credit may be ex-
tended European countries so that
they may take the surplus of Ameri
can crops which are greatly needed
there. will be brought before the
congress, he said.
With potatoes selling for fifteen
cents bushel in Minnesota with
apples, pears and other fruits rot
ting on the ground in Michigan:
with corn an oats still selling for
less than the cost of production; it
is TO the interest OF every business
man in America to cooperate with
every practical constructive effort be
ing made to put American agricul-
ture once more on a paying basis, u
he said.
"A half billion dollars worth of
surplus crops comprising not more
than five percent of our total agri
cultural output has reduced the val
ue of TIE other 95 per ent several
times the value of these surpluses.
Europe owes US more than TWEEN
t. billion dollars that it can never
hope to repay until it gets on its
feet economically. 1t would be the
part of common business prurence
and common sense for America to
help rehabilitate Europe at least
to the extent of selling herfi on
credit. such of our surpluses as can
be demonstrated to be. not national
assets, but national liabilities"
