Cornell Professor Declares Farmer Paralyzed by Price Fixing.

ITHACA. X. V., IVb. l.-.. Warning that, the nation "is confronted with the danger of starvation in the next 12 months" and that "the energies of our farmers are paralyzed by price fixin- and the fear of juice lixiriL'," Pres't Jacob Could Schiiniiun of Cornell university, spoke Thursday at the farmers week program at Cornell university on the "food crisis and the farmer." Prtb't Schunnan deplored attempts to regulate the prices of farm products, but uracil legislation to end profiteering in the sales of foodstuffs. He warned that the nation is usin-: up its grain reserves and said he believed the stage has been readied where compulsion should be supersede appeals to save food. He appealed to Pres't Wilson and congress to sive farmers a fair chance to stimulate agricultural production. I'ckkI Problem Pig One. Pres't Schurman's address in part follows: "Of all the great problems of this colossal world war, the food problem is now the most important. Man power can be raised by conscription up to a point of exhaustion. The allied lines from the North sea to Switzerland are piled high with munitions which the output of Trench, British and American factories is constantly augmenting. Put everywhere the supply of food is limited ami beyond a very narrow margin you see the edge of an inferno of starving nations. Vet no problem of the war is so much misunderstood. The simple question is this: "Can we keep our own and our allied soldiers and civil population from starvation! It is not all a question of price. It is a question of supply. "Legislation can surely put a stop to profiteering in the sale of foodstuffs. If milk goes up a cent a quart and children die in NewYork city in consequence. ought there not to be a law to stop it? Pcl'ciaU Tanners. "Put why should the food producer be singled out for the rede of a public benevolent institution? Why not also the producers of unessential commodities, of amenities and luxuries? Why deny the farmer alone, the market price of his labor and skill'.' Why select him prst to support tlie pnor of our great cities? He certainly cannot afford it. One-third of our farmers are tenants and own little or nothing in the world. And of those, who own the farms they operate, only 0 percent have them free of mortgage. "I repeat and reiterate that our food problem i one ,,f en'.! rued production and augmented supply. Price fixing leads to the opposite

1 1 t r i ;i r i t . ;i 1 NewM Serviie: LONDON. Feb. K. This is a true story of two boys in the Hoya! flying corps. Their orders well. never min 1 what precisely were th?ir order.-. It was necessary nay, vital that certain information should be obtained, and the Hawk and Cnat went out to gel it. As years went neither tlie Hawk nor the Unat could sirm much of a song their birthdays combined barely equalled the number of derma II planes set to thir credit on the list posted at headquarters but in scrapping experience you mieht run the whole allied armies through a sieve and you wouldn't lind a couple of young sparks with mote to look back on. They reached the line, saw enough of what was going on llunvvards to realize the importance of getting back and then met fate in grim aspect, for out of the mist swooped a whole convoy of Gothas. Fo ir shot by them in quick succession to bar the trackless path homeward; ahead, above around. Jive others maneuvered to give the death blow. Wautct! Fight. Maybe the Pritish boys could hive shaken off pursuit by getting among the clouds, hut they had no mind to mis such a fine prospect of lamaging the German aerial service, and they promptly set about reducing the odds. The first victim fell to the Hawk, who was piled. Coming end cm i-nd simply askinu for trouble, a Hun went down in a wreath of flames. Then the Gnat had to stinc for all ho was worth, as five Huns dived together, spitting lead like a pot.ato sprayer in the direction of his tail. It -was a supreme moment. Put the luck and pluck which had helped the Gnat in the landing at Gallipoli. out in the desert when the Senussi hordes were howling round an isolated Pritish post, and in a great foot-slogging stunt through he German lines up Serre way, stood by him. and two of tho five went on diving until they crashed to earth. All the while the Pritjsh tighter was combining the swift darts of the swallow with the gyrations of a tumbler pigeon. Lvcry movement known to the craftsman' of the air and others of which the trick flier had dreamed were employed. A terrific turn absolutely veritical showed the Gnat how two of his enemies had fcred, and the knowledge, you may be sure, bucked him up no end. When they had dropped to .'no feet the Hawk got his leaden talons into the vitals of the fourth, which went down and added to the litter of hatth' below. Uogin to l'all. It was while the Hawk vvas engaging the fifth Gotha that the British machine exceeded the limits of possibility and began to fall sideways, while, as the Gnat says, the earth seemed hungry to gobble them up. Tlie remaining Huns dived on them as they fell, pouring out lead with reckless waste, and only a second or two remained, as it seemed, for the Hawk and the Gnat to be among the mentals. Then a miracle happened. Twenty feet off the ground the machine righted itself and tlie Huns on foot, who had scattered for the- crash, were speechless with amazement. When the Hawk began to make for home, however, every sort of gun in the German field museum opened on them. Again and again the machine was hit, but not in a vital part, .and the boys brought their craft to port and handed in the report which the Huns were so anxious to intercept. "A damned line show,'' said the C. o. "They were rotten shots." quoth the Gnat.
