that litigants entered, expresses the legal philosophy of W. C. hydrants.
Bryant,
“Discourage litigation.

Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Point out to them how the nominal winner is often the real

farm-jrs and their advisers on this question. While some see a
chance for a good price for wheat now that the government is. out
of the picture, others are asking the Farm Board to grant some
form of stabilization for a time to assist marketing..
The officials who have the decision to make in this matter need
some sympathy along with other sentiments sent their way.
