In suggesting suitable legislation
which will put the farmer on an
equal basis with other industries,
Mr.. Crandall pointed out for ma
jor propositions, namely:
1. First of Importance of those
measures is something that will
stop the wholesale foreclosures of
farmers and homes.
2. A change in our monetary sys-
tenn that will give us ample money
for freeexchange of commodities
as a medium Of exchange and true
measurer of the value of commodi-
ties.
8. A tax that will be fair to all
classes in the support of county,
state or federal government.
4. Restoration of foreign agricul-
tural export by cancellation of
foreign government bonds, or by
any other means whereby agricul-
ture can enjoy it's former trade re-
lations.
Mr.. Crandall states that the lat
ter suggestion was the most in.por-
tant for If it could not be accomplish
ed, then it would become necessary
that some practical plan for cut
ting down annual production would
be put into operation.

the Central handled 1878 per cent
of rail receipts and 22.35 per cent

He called to the attention of the

(From United States Daily, Wash
ington, D. c..
A reduction in interest charges
was declared to be the only meth
cd of successfully accomplishing a
"write-off" in the farm mortgage
debt, in testimony Feb. 6 by Senator
Shipstead (Farmer-Labor) of Min
nesota, who appeared before a sub
committee of the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee in support
of his own bill Is. $500.
"The time to do something for the
farmers is now, not two years from
now" Senator Shipstead told the
Committee. No yardstick of values
is available to permit of reaprais-
al of farms for mortgage purposes
at this time, he said.
Senator Shipstead protested
against the multiplicity of farm
credit and loaning agencies in the
Federal Government and asserted
their numbers made more intricate
the task of ascertaining what could
and should be done for the agricul-
tural interests. His bill, proposing
consolidation of all of the seven
present credit units in one new di-
vision of the Department of Agri-
culture, he said, should do away
with much of the cumbersome ma
chinery now in operation.
Senator Shipstead's proposal to
"rewrite" all of the farm mortgage
debt on the basis of new Govern
ment bonds bearing per cent in
terest was objected to by Senators
Couzens (Rep.), Of Michigan, and
Walcott (Rep), of Connecticut,
each Of whom expressed the opin-
ion that assumption of a debt Of
that size would wreck" the value
of other Government bonds. The
Minnesota Senator insisted, how
ever, that it could be done on the
basis Of Federal credit and, further
that no other method was now to
be observed.
After 10 days Of hearings conclud-
ing with that Of Senator Shipstead
the subcommittee arranged, Feb.
6, to meet the following day to con-
slider whether 1t will proceed to the
drafting Of farm mortgage legisla-
ton on a temporary or a perma-
nent basis.
The course was decided upon by
the sub committee at the suggestion
Of Senator Fletcher CDem.), Of Flor.

Last Friday Miss Murphy's room
presented a play to the sixth grade.
Seeing as it was so very close to
Lincoln's birthday, it was more
than fitting that the play be about
that great man. The scene was laid
in the interior of ABE" Lincoln's
home. 1t showed the life of young
Lincoln when he was studying to
become educated by his own hand.
1t was a very clever little play and
we're sure the Riddles enjoyed it
immensely.

Older children-especially girls in

eaten too heavily in the evening;
perhaps they got to bed so late that
they haven't had their sleep out

in the morning; perhaps they need
a little exercise or work before
they are adjusted to the day and
ready to eat.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Refusing to Eat

Teddy, aged two and a half, was
something of a feeding problem. He
was Indifferent to food, dwadling at
his meals and often having temper
tantrums when he was forced to
eat. His mother worried consider
ably about this; she watched him
closely and urged him to hurry. And
the more she coaxed, the more anx-
ious she became, the more firmly
he refused to~eat.
The problem of non-hunger Can
orexia is the medical term) Is so
common among children or pre-
school age as to make physicians
feel that it must, to some extent, be
normal. The first time that the
child refuses food, don't force him
to eat; lack Of appetite is often the
first symptom of a cold or illness.
Decayed teeth, enlarged or infected
tonsils with the resultant spread of
poisons throughout the system also
lessons the child's desire for food.
Paradoxically the child may be
either too tired or not tired enough
to eat. Try a ten or fifteen-minute
rest before meals-a pleasant one,
not an enforced one! Or send the
child outdoors for little vigorous
play in the fresh air before meals.
When the physical factors have
been ruled out, check up on the
environment. With young children,
the attitude Of the family at the
table is probably the biggest factor
, in how well he eats. If the family
is inclined to be quarrelsome, noisy
or to tell exciting stories at the
table that hold the child's attention
and make him forget to eat, put
him at little table by himself. He's
much more comfortable and better
OF, anyway, II the table and chair
are just the right height for him.
Mothers irritation at the child's
dwadling over his food, or her an
xiety at his lack of appetite usual
ly hinders rather than helps mat
tiers, as it makes the child the CEN
ter of most pleasing attention and
concern.
A home feeding problem often dis
appears when the child is brought
into group of children who are all
cheerfully eating what is set be-
fore them. One little girl was sent
to her grandmother's for a visit.
There she was taken downtown for
luncheon.

had never witnessed the spectacle
of various members Of her family

Often with the older child, 1t is
not the food so much as the mo-
notony which bores him. Try
sprinkling the hot cereal with CO.
coanut or brown sugar, and put
dates and raisins in occasionally,
