UTAH wm ii ! lt$ a Privilege I INCREASED CROPS WOULD NOT IMPROVE ECONOMIC POSITION, IT IS SAID Wages Likely To Remain High; Equipment Prices Will Not Make A Change; Present Corn Belt Is Suffering. Washington. Stay just as you are. Dont expand. That was the advice given to the farmers of the country by the United States Department of Agriculture 4In Its impo"i.ant forecast of farm conditions for 1926. Despite the present corn belt suffering and the wave of farm collapses since the war, the farming Industry' Is now in the best general condition since T920, the department said. However, any general Increases in crops would tend to place the farmers In a less favorable economic position than at present, it warned. Neither foreign nor domestic demand for farm products will increase It said. In fact, there may be a decreased demand. Farm wages will remain at least as high as they are, the department said. Neither will the cost of farm equipment descend. Discussing the prospects of the major crops, the department said: A slightly smaller world crop of wheat is indicated, with world stock at the beginning of the new crop year not burdensome. Domestic stocks are likely to be smaller. Corn acreage the same as in 1925 with average market yields, will be sufficient to meet feeding and commercial requirements as fully as in 1925. If last years oats acreage, Is maintained, relatively low prices are likely to continue, unless yields are greatly reduced. out"The immediate and look for cattle is favorable. A reasonably constant demand for beef Is anticipated. The number of steers is the lowest in many years, but present breeding stocks are apparently large enough to supply as much beef as it will pay cattle producers to raise. The outlook for the hog industry appears favorable, with prices maintained at high levels. Indications are that 1926 will be a good year for the sheep industry, and further increases in production may be undertaken profitably in some long-tim- e United States Commission for the Celebration of tlie Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington. President Calvin Coolldge la elialnmin of this conunlssion and thus briefly outlines tlie purpose of tlie celebration and suggests Its scope: The two hundredth anniversary of General Washingtons birth will be an occasion f such significance, not only to our own country but to the entire world, that It Is manifestly fitting: that the American nation should appropriately observe it. But beyond this It Is felt that as the life, the career und the achievements of Washington belong not to a single nation, but to nil humanity, It is proper that the nation founded under his leadership should invite all other nations and peoples to join It In the observance of this anniversary. The character and the efforts of Washington have made un impression upon the whole world, so profound as to have affected the very course of history and to have touched the lives of all who. today live In this world. ' "We cannot doubt that the Influence of Washingtons example, the leadership which be gave In behalf of liberal institutions and mankind's huve been among the great benefactions conferred upon the race. He ranks and will always rank among the foremost of those who were providentially designated to perform great and lasting services. Every consideration of national pride In him ns t an American, of gratitude for the distinctions which he brought to us as a people, and of satisfaction In the universal recognition which has been freely rendered to Ids name and memory, dictates that this nation should take the lead In such a proper acknowledgement ns will make the approaching bi centennial an occasion of universal inspiration. As it was the fortune of America to give such a character to tlie world, so it Is the obligation of America to Insure that all men shall be Invited and encouraged to consider his noble example and to benefit increasingly through a better under-- , standing of the ideals which animated his life. For the present, it Is Impossible more specifically to suggest the purposes and character of the commemoration which it Is proposed to arrange. The commission will In due time take proper measures to enlist the interest of the nations In the observance of this Inspiring anniversary."

The word political means here that the case must be important for all citizens. All German men and women over 20 are to answer the question whether the real and personal property of the princes who were dethroned in 1918 shall be expropriated, without indemnification, for lessening the poverty of the German masses. What the property involved amounts to is indicated by the fact that William Von Hohenzollern demands one billion marks (about $240,000,000) and dethe Duke of mands, in addition to great personal property, 170,000 morgen (about 110,-00- 0 acres) of the best quality land, with palaces, hotels, summer resorts, hundreds of houses, etc. Such figures here are only two cases of at least twenty show that the conflict affects all citizens and the whole nation., Nevertheless, four parties in the government desire to avoid a plebiscite and they have proposed the formation of a special court which will decide all questions and shall particularly furnish a gurantee that the princes will not use property given them for fighting the republican form of government.
