Mexico City, Dec 15. Telegraph ers and station agents on the Naiion- i railways crdered a general im mediate strike, threatening to para lyze all lines SECRETARY MEREDITH'S PORT RE- Springfield Republican. The plight in which hc farmer is left by the decline of values of farm products is strikingly presented bv Secretary of Agriculture Meredith in Ids annual report. While there has been little reduction in the prices of many tilings the fanner has had to buy, the prices which has had to ac cept have shown these extraordinary changes: "On March 1, 1020, they were 21 per cent higher than now on the same uale last year; on April 1, 23 per cent: on May 1, 23 per cent; on June 1, 21 per cent; on July 1, 21 per cent; n September 1, they were 7 per cent lower than a year ago; on Octobti 1, 14 per cent lower, and on Novem ber 1, '.IS per cent lower. The price-, of all crops cn November 1 were per cent below those prevailing when the farmer planted and here the cost cf production.'' This mcrn5? tht at the prices pr vailing on November 1, the corn cro was wr-ih yi ,500.000,009 less than t would h'e.-e bjon worth a year cavi ller the cm t:,n eron ?! 000.000,000 less ar.d the wooi clip ?Gi);000,'.i!j'i less. Th t te.l extraordinary output of the rerros, -produced at extraor dinary cost, is worth at current pric es, the secretary points out, $3,000, 000,000 less than the smaller croo cf 1910, and $1,000,000,000 less tha" the still smaller crop of 1918. If the farmer had raised less than the av erage in tons and bushels rather than more, would his total return in mon ey have been greater than actually it was? That the answer is conceivably yes suggests the nature of present situation, which is one of national concern. Secretary Meredith does not touch upon the proposals which have been broached for financial guarantees by the government to enable the farm er to dispese of.crorrs to advantage) but notes the possibilities within the scope of the department's activities. The suggestions of "some means" of carrying over to periods cf low Pro duction the surplus of years of high production would be more interesting if more definite. To the point are the suggestions that more attention should be given to marketing, 1o statistical inquiry .at homo and a broad, to the economic problems of production, to farm finance and to life on the farm. Practically these f-uggestionf p mount to a plea for lar ger rpprenriations to meet the ex penses o fan expanding deparlrion1 including adequate salaries to check serious dramg on the deparment's personnel bv better'-paying commer cial enterprises. Three items aggregating $l.io0- ! 000 in the appropriation increase ask- ! ed for. and described as "insurance funds," deserve special consideration. These atv $950,000 for cmbating font anel mouth disease no cases of which are known in the United States at present. S 100,000 for fighting- and preventing forest fires, and $100,000 for the control of emergency insect In testations.

BECOMES ARTIST AT 71 Four years ago, June 4, 191G, Dr. Carl Henry Andrew Bjerregaard, then seventy-one years', old, who had achieved fame as an author and es sayist, decided to start a new career. He took up painting. That he has been successful in this work is shown by the exhibition of paintings from his brush under the auspices of the American-Scandinavian foundation in New York, where he and his wife re side. His desire to start a new life, he states, was conceived in a sphere of mysticism which lie had penetrated. His object was to study life and na ture by color and form rather than scientifically. Nov.- he is thinking of taking up modeling. He came to this country nt the age of twenty-eight, be ing of Danish birth. Doctor Bjerre gaard is a member of the staff of the New York public library.

She was pool an HnlihPt stand, was never once at a los for and. was npvpr m r i " -e,. a reply and stuck doggedly to her statements. The enly person in the court house to show much feeling was Lone Young, cn whose forehead the perspiration stood cut in beads during the recital of the incidents leading to the alleged killing and during the time that Dan Cook was telling the jury how Young came in to his place late that fatal Satur day night and told of seeing a mur der committed. "It was a dirty leal" Young told Cook but he said he had nothing to do with it. Cook said he thought Young's liquor had gone to his head and dismissed the whole thing until later. Cook's evidence wjas by far the irhst seusatirfnal of the afternoon, though 3. E. McFadden created in terest when he related Young's con duct on Monday following the trage dy. The other testimony had been fairly covered by the Record, and caused little excitement in the court house. The audience which jammed the building, however, took in every word. Afternoon Session There were not enough chairs in the bar tnd Judge Shaw toll those forced to stand to go after the coun ty commissioners. Declaring he would etard behind them ''If yen all want ?. new court house," he said, "go see them. 'If y u don't, want a new court house, don't sec them."

They went to Newtcn, came back through Hickory and went over to the South Moun tains in Gordon Whitener's car. They went to Gordon's home near Henry River, from there to Minnie Young's home, later going , by Jule Brittain's Henry Smith's, stopping at Lipe's store at HildebPain to buy dinner. They ate at Demp Hill's below Hil debran. After dinner, they stopped at Neal Abernethy's from there going to Johnson's bridge and turning around and going towards Hickory. They went towards Anney's church about G o'clock where she got out the car. She saw three cars standing cn the side of the road near the church. She stayed about an hour and a half. While there she saw Glenn Lippard, Cecil Hefner, Dock Hefner annd Lone Youing come by in two cars a Hupmobile and a F'ord. Cecil was driving the Hup, Glenn sit ting between Cecil and Lone. Dock Hefner came along ra a New r crd. They all stopped, and she talked to Glenn several minutes, they going to wards Rhodhiss, Cecil's car being in front. She remained there about 25 minutes End followed them walking. On her way out she met a Dodge car at the old school house. She saw the prisoners 2long the road. Here she described details of the dice gam.1, the hot words over the liquor, the lick she ssid Lone struck Glenn and so on and her leaving; then the two shots, she heard as she went down the road. "Oh, Lord," she heard somebody holler, between the two shots. She heard the cars start up and then went back. She turned around and went to Rhodhiss. She said she met two cars she didn't know. Then she met Jim Williams and Coy Hodge, got in the car with them and went to Rhodhiss mill. She thought the kill ing was about 9 o'clock. She saw the body about 4 o'clock Sunday after noon. Every detail of her former testimony was repeated. Cross Examination The witness was taken for cross examination by Mr. Whitener. When he erot out of the car it was not quite dark. She was not positive that she talked to Fraink Holtsclaw about an hour and a half. She said she did not say in the loAver court that she said the man was Will Holtsclaw's .' "daddv." Here site said she did no j know Frank Holtsclaw, but had known Will. Frank rode a motorcycle. rhis was the person she talked to an WEATHER Fair and colder tonight and Wednesday. PRICE FIVE CENTS ! The witness said it was about I -i . , . ' 1L wa& dOOUt mile and a half from the church to where the boys were shooting dice. She walked to where the boys were, slaying with them ?0 or 40 minutes.' They were cussing at each other there time. She said Lone Young had two knives laying cn the ground with the two pistols. She -aid Mr. Self talked to her about the case.

She was questioned about meeting Ben Whit low on the road in a Dodge car. She wouldn't swear that it was Ben Whitlow. She said she knew Ham s Parm and Jim Wlliams. She said she got in a car with them on tw0 different oc casions but denied getting in their car that night. She said she was with them three Saturday evenings before the homicide. She denied that it was on the fatal evening. The Saturday before Glenn was killed she took a round to Granite Falls and Rhodhiss. She insisted that all occurrences Mr. Whitener named were earlier than the night of the shooting. On Sunady evening after the mur der she said she did not tell anybody 1 about it. On Monday morni.ig Mart Glazebrook told her about it. On Monday she told Demps. Dill. That was about 9 a. m. She told Ann Hill that she had seen G.'.cnn Lippard. She first told Solicitor Huffman about it. The witness denied telling Mr. Whitener that she knew nothing about the killing. She admitted giving him several names, but asserted that they had to do with the evening be fore. Outside of these names, Lou said she did 'not say word abut the case. She then admitted teliing the attorney a good many things, includ ing a statement that two fellow"! passed in a car with their faces concealed. She said she did not tell the defendant's attorney about Lone Young and the Hefner brothers. She said she had been indicted 13 times, three times in Hickory for being drunk and at other times for riding about with the men. She said she had worked every day in every month, Saturday and Sunday excepted, for the past five years. It was 3:55 when the cross ex amination ended and Solicitor Huff man asked her as to the cause of her being locked up several times. She said it was for for immoral conduct.

He did not know if they all went out together. He did not recall if Baxter Hildebrand bought four bottles of Chero-Cola from him between 9 and 9:30.
