lem as q common problem
for the farmer and the
holder Of the mortgage.
Want to Keep
Farmer at Home
And that is the enlightened
position now taken by the
insurance companies. They
have made it plain that they
do not want to foreclose on
farms. They want to keep
the farmer on his acres.
They don't want the land.
And they are willing to sit
down with the farmer and
help in the solution of his
problem.
Mr.. Roosevelt not long
ago, speaking CT the debt
owing this country from the
debtor nations, said that a
debtor always has right to
appeal to his creditor for a
readjustment and accommo-
dation-and there was gen.
eral applause.
The same rule applies to
any debtor. One of the in
surance companies has an
nounced it's willingness to
extend all possible relief
where an examination in
dicates that a farmer living
on his farm is honestly at
tempting to meet his mort
gage obligation" And why
not9 It is not so much
leniency as common sense.
Clearly, something has been
started to end the epidemic
of farm foreclosures. One Of
the insurance companies an
nounces a reduction in the
interest rate on mortgages
from 7 to AZ per cent. And
that is common sense, too.
It has been done for the
debtor nations; why not for
the domestic debtor under
existing conditions.
The insurance companies
have launched a fine move
ment, which may be ex-
tended by other creditors
before we are through.

Farmers Are Not
To Blame

To Blame
They both want the money,
and it is to their interest
that the farmers be left upon
the farm to make the money
with which to meet their
debts. It is not the crime Of
the farmer that just now he
is not making enough money
to make payments on his
loans. He is not the only
one who is in that position.
Quite a few business men
are able to sympathize with
his plight. But this condi-
tion of prices for farm prod
ucts below the cost of pro-
duction cannot last always.
Unless we are 70 have a
complete smash of our sys-
tenn Of society, it must
change after a bit. If the
entire system is to smash it
does not make any differ
ence as far as business men
and bankers are concerned.
If the ship itself is going
down it will carry all the
passengers.
In other words, this is a
time for all Of uS to stand
together in the spirit of for
bearance, to compromise and
make concessions, to treat
the farmers mortgage prob

Cities, Too, Depend
Upon the Farmers

It is stupid for people in
the cities to assume an atti-
tude Of indifference to the
conditions on the farms. Ag-
riculture is our basic indus
try. As many as 10000, 900
people are dependent upon
it. If the owners of the
farms are driven from the
purchasing class it means al
most 25 per cent fewer pur-
chasers from merchants and
manufacturers. And that
means a fatal loss to these.
There is every selfish reason
in the world why the deni-
zens Of the cities must be in
terested in the salvation of
the farms.
If a vast army Of farm
owners are driven from their
farms they are forced upon
the cities to compete with the
100000 jobless artisans
who are unable to get jobs
now. Our civilization will
not be served by flooding
the cities with idle men. It
is important that the farmers
be kept upon the farms.
They know what to do with
the land most of those who
hold the mortgages they
may foreclose do not. The
insurance companies do not
want land nor do the banks.

And no woman has ever been

she has tried BOTH!
There are also husbands who

who are content merely to wear
them out.

This is no time to insist

There is every sound rea-

House of David and Cath0- lie Leaguers Expected to Draw Big Crowd This Afternoon

All roads lead to Hamilton park this afternoon where Moose Swaney and the crack House of David baseball nine will clash With the Catholic league All-Stars at , o'clock. Bill stanton and Harold Hadley will do the arbitrating. The gamc will be q benefit affair for the Catholic parish twilight loop treas ury and although no admission will be charged.N 1t Is expected that the fans will contribute generously to see this great attraction and at the same time to, help finance tho popular twilight circuit.
 Swancy Known Here
 Of all the travelling clubs that have played at Hamilton park dur ing tho past several seasons, tho Whiskers arc without q doubt the most popular with the fans. One of the most colorful performers on the club Is Moose" Swaney, vet eran pitcher, who originally halls from Pittsburgh, Pa, The" Moose" has pitched In nearly every minor league in tho country during n long career in organized baseball and his record includes long stays with tho leading clubs of tho In- tcrnational, Eastern, Pacific Coast and New York-penn leagues.
 Lost to Yankees
 He features a slow tantalizing curve and still has excellent con- trol. In an exhibition game against the New York Yankees at St. Petersburg this spring, Swancy held the slugging American leag- uers to six hits but lost ? to 0 in n great pitching duel with Johnny Murphy, Fordham university mound ace. His. age is as big Il mystery as Jack Quinn's, but he is so far advanced in age that teams In organized baseball no longer desire his services. With the Davids, however, he Is invaluable.
 Tocchio May Hurl
 The All-Stars will show Charley Tocchio, Johnny Mulhern Lefty" Plourde, Ned Farley, Frankie Di- Blasc and Frankie Berardl as their mound corps. with Pat Stat tory, Jack Mahaney and Ev Murphy as receivers. Danny Briotti will be at first, Christy Hayes at second. Joe Jannetty or Ray Ahenrn at third, Larry Mullen at short, Paul Doran, John Devito, F d d Ragis.
