tests as IL Entries Shrink
to Nine on "TechnicaIity."
Nv thu Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, october 27.-Mrs. Lily
Kenny fell from her pedestal as
Torontos ace childbearer today.
The dozen children she claims to
have borne in the last 10 years
shrank to nine as a search OF the
oficial records was made and the cry
went up from the Kenny camp:
We've been robbed"
Her counsel, I. E. Weldon, said:
MRS. Kenny has lost out as sole
winner of the Millar mothers mara
thon on a foul. She has had more
children than any other Toronto
woman, but now she's dropped back
into a tie with other mothers on a
pure technicality."
The "technicality' was ruling by
the provincial registrar-general that
no belated registrations will be &C
cepted from Millar contest entries.
This bars the registration of two chill
dren Mrs. Kenny says were born to
her in 1880 and 1881.
Will Depend on Courts.
Mrs. Kenny's lawyer said he would
depend upon the courts to decide on
the merits of her claims.
The development failed to shake
Mrs. Kenny's confidence. She went
right on planning to spend the $780,
600 she feels sure she'll get.
Her latest idea is to start new
baby derby. For this she would ap-
propriate about 100000 of the Millar
money.
The Kenny kiddies kontest. or
whatever it might be called, would
not interfere with her plans for
building a big mausoleum in memory
of Charles Vance Millar, who started
the baby race business when he died
10 wears ago. Millar lies buried be-
meath a modest stone monument in
the little cemetery at Aylmer, Ontario.
The top ranking mothers found the
contest more of a free -for-an today
than ever.
The best guess was that the winner
or winners might finally be found to
have no more than nine qualified
babies. Three mothers have consist
emily claimed 10, but checks at the
Bureau OF Vital Statistics, specified

authority, do not bear them out.

He announced the committee would

NEW YORK, Jan. II Q.N.SD.
The cotton market gradually ex-
tended gains in later trading in
the near months, but eaSed
slightly in the distants as selling
pressure on those months, from
the Far East continued. Trade
price-fixing aided in sustaining
the near months against profit
taking. Strong Liverpool cables
and the better sentiment in the
market resulting from the as yeS
rather indefinite soil fertility"
program of the Administration,
buoyed price levels.
The trade, Liverpool, commits,
sion houses and the continent
continued the chief support Of
the market while the South, Co
operatives and New Orleans were
sellers. Japan was reported liqui.
dating distant option holdings.
Fears of the tight spot situation
in January continued an i'm
portant market influence.
Towards noon the market re.
sumed its advance with the old
crop options still well in the van.
March was quoted at lila up II,

By United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
place of the farm family in the
welfare Of the nation provided the
keynote of the rural life pro-
gram today which closed the an
nual agricultural conference at

THE rapid decline in births dur
ing recent years, from nearly
100000 IN 1921 and 100000 in

associated with the urbanization of
the people, suggests strongly that
land and life are closely related"
said DR.. .. E. Baker, senior agri-
cultural economist of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
in one of the principal addresses.
ut is becoming clear that the
land is the foundation of the fam
lily and the family is the founda-
ton of the state"
Richmond Woman Speaks
Other speakers were Mrs. Rich
ard B. Morrow, Richmond, who dis
cussed "a more attractive home life
on the farm" and DR.. Lowry Nell
son of the Department of Agricul-
ture. who advocated increased par
ticipation of rural people in commu-
nifty life.
