Foreign Demand
1.-THE foreign outlook, on the de-
mand side, seems slightly less
favorable to our farmers in 1928
than it was in 1922.
1.-The only possibility for an i'm
portant increase in purchasing
power like in the ability of Europe
to expand her manufactured exports.
1t is of the most vital interest to
American agriculture that the United
States lend aid in every way possible
to the settlement of the reparation
and other European problems. Re-
vival in Europe has been much more
marked in agriculture than in manu-
featuring.
1.-The prospect with reference tol
the supply of farm products for the
coming year is that there will be at
least no reduction in output in the
United States. With some overflow
of the business activity of the United
States to the rest of the world, par
the non-European part of
the world, the prospect would rather
be that there will be some increase
in the production of foods in foreign
countries. We cannot, therefore,
offer any reason for the
that our farmers will
meet any less severe competition in
European markets during the COM
ing year than they have met during
The past year.
No Time for Pessimisfh
This is no time for pessimism.
That time was two years ago. 1t is
rue that there is greater general
now in the cities than on
he farms. The present prosperity
would probably be healthier and
onger-lived if it included the farmer
% a little created degree. But the
titles are not merely going through |
motions. They are working hard
md they are producing. When
men work and produce they acquire
power. Urban prosper
ty almost always means an improved
market for farm products. 1t means
hat this year.

ARRESTED
At NETUCHEN
For Throwing Stones at
Trains and Street Lights
Placed on Probation

METUCHEN, Dec. 21:-The
throwing of stones by youngsters of
the town has become SO acute and
has caused so much damage that
representatives of the Pennsylvania
railroad and Public Service compa-
MES have been conducting an inves-
tigation that has led to two arrests.
During the past two months the
lighting company reports that they
have been put to a very heavy ex-
pense in replacing electric street
lights which have been maliciously
destroyed by a corps of rock throw
ing boys.

the railroad company have been in
ficted by stones crashing through
the windows of trains passing
through the town. Charges of a sim
liar nature were made by the repre-
~sentatives of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company last week when a
number of children of tender years
were hailed before the recorder and
threatened with a public spanking
if they persisted in the practice.
AS a result of the latest COM
plants two thirteen-year-old Grove
avenu boys, FIR d w. Bates and
Vincent De Bona, were arraigned be-
fore Recorder Weber and compelled
to nav for the damage they had done
following their admission of guilt.
Both boys were placed on probation
for m year..

old colored girl of Central avenue,
who ran away from the home of her
foster parents, Rev. and Mrs. George
Mills, last week was placed on pro-
baton for one year and then permit
ted to return to her home. The girl
admitted running ava from home

parents.

DIR. Brides Testifes
In Own Defense at
Boston Hearing

Boston, Jan. Stalking the stand in
his own defense tonight, DR.. Arthur
f. Brides. suspended manager of the
Boston Office Of the United states Vet
Grams Bureau. vigorously denied
charges of drunkenness and misconduct
testified to by witnesses before Coloney
Charles r. Forbes, national director,
and trial board.
The defense rested after Mrs Bride
and her sister. Mrs. Mary Stone Of
New York. both testified that the doctor
was sober and had not had a drink" on
the night he wes arrested by police in
the Jamaica Plain district.
Mrs. Brides testified that her hus-
band threatened to dick three po-
licemen who figured in his arrest after
they had charged him with negiecting
disabled war veterans. Both she and
her sister said that DR. Brides had
offered no resistance when later taken
into custody.
The incident occurred while the bu-
reau head was driving his wife and
sisterin-law home in his car. A pc.
liceman stopped the party, informing
Dr. Brides that one of the headlights
of the car was out. The arrest was not
made until an hour later, the two wit
nesses said.
DR.. Brides himself testified that he
signed release card at the police sta
tion under protest. but did SOLO avoid
publicity and because his friends told
him it was the best way out of the
situation. He explained his presence
in bunk of the clinic room of the
Vocational Training school one night by
saying he had been caring for a friend
who had been drinking.
Colonel Forbes was i'll and did NOT
attend the evening hearing. Unless he
desires to hear further evidence in the
Brides case other Investigations in con-
nection with the veterans bureau will
