Population Is gaining on crop production, according to a study made over a
period o f thirty-four years by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation,
based on figures of the United States Department of Agriculture. The ac­
companying chart shows crop production per capita la falling.
Taking the average of 1910 as 100, total crop production In the last three
years averaged 108.3. Owing to the growth of population, per capita produc­
tion has been only 92.8 when 100 represents the 1910-1914 average.
The chart shows index numbers of both total and per capita production of
crops from 1890 to 1923. The production record la based on the total yield of
10 crops—corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye. buckwheat, potatoes, hay, tobacco and
cotton, which Include more than 95 per cent of the total acreage of all crops.
Since yields are expressed In various units, bushels, bales, tons and pounds,
the crops are combined by applying a constant average price to the yearly pro­
duction of each crop.

“Rome was not built in a
day,” so we find it in Halsey
high, judging by the increase of
students after the first day.
They think it is better to be
late than not to be present in
school. Milford Muller has en­
tered as a senior, Earnest Dyk­
stra as a sophomore and Sarah
Williams as a junior. The lat­
ter has been attending school
at Milton the past two terms.
In accordance with the gener­
al rule, the sophomores will be
in charge of the initiation of
the freshmen at a party to be
given for this purpose on the
evening of October 14. Mrs.
Shotwell, Lawrence Wooley, and
Helen Carter are the enter­
tainment committee.
Mrs. Clarice Gormley, gradu­
ate of the class of '23, is taking
French II.
The results
of the senior
class election are: President,
Truman Robnett; Vice-Presi­
dent, Grace Pehrsson; Secre­
tary and Treasurer, Gladys
Hadley. They chose pink and
white as class colors and pink
and white carnations as (Sass
flowers. Mrs. Freeland was
voted class advisor.
On account of illness, Melba
Neal was forced to be absent
several days last week.
Miss Ida Jackson spent the

enjoyed the fair.
The sophomores chose as
their officers Martin Koontz,
president; Uriel Corbin, secre­
tary and Currin Miller, treasur­
er. Mrs. Freeland will be class
advisor.
Evidently production, consumption and feed prices, all play an Important
part In regulating butter prices In a tariff-protected market like the United
Ststes. The cost of feed may regulate In the long run, but over periods of a
few years It has little to do with the seillqg.price of butter.

would have loved him Just as dearly,
and that, therefore, the question of
affection could not be considered.
Modern Judges are rarely called
upon to sentence their own sons; but
they are frequently called upon to
sentence their own ambitious. Our
present system of electing Judges
makes It highly Improbable that a
Judge who offend» an Important po­
litical boas or a strong organisation
will ever advance far In his profes­
sion. Some years »go, for example,
there was a great scandal In one of
our stales about the spending of state
money. The so-called graft cases were
tried before a Judge who refused to
be Influenced by anything except the
evidence, and the millionaire grafters
were found guilty. Those who did
not escape by suicide were tent to the
penitentiary. These men were friends
of the strongest political boss then
living. When that Judge was nomi­
nated for a place In the Supreme court
of his state he was detested for elec­
tion. although all the stats, with the
exception of two cities, voted for him.
When a Judge lets himself be Influ­
enced by the strange situation In
which he finds himself, we may be
pretty sure to hear of the tyranny of
the law rather than of tha Justice of
the law. Heron, an eminent authority
on the subject of Judicature, If ever
there were one, says: "One foul sen­

examples. For these do but corrupt

And again: "A judge ought to pre­
