The action of the conference at Helena is embodied in the following authorized statement; The disastrous relationship be tween agricultural and general com modity prices is the fact that is op pressing agriculture in the United Slates ami particularly in wheat grow ing regions.

Corunna, A youthfu | mn ther and her daughter both gave birth to sons at the same L. whiIe a mob of relatives from m ii 0 s around packed the spacious par-j | (>r j n t j ie mr ^ bers * home, the babies entered the world. Xhe grandfather rushed in and re turned proudly, carrying his newborn son an ,j b is grandson, one on each arm. The cheering gesticulating rela-1 t j VPS , swavrn(M | around, grabbing the babies. The babies were passed a -1 loUm j f rom one to another while they v ere kissed and carressed. After liai f an hour there wa- a sud i cn H p ence "Carraramba, madre Dios, which baby is which?" shouted one relative. A frantic investigation proved that the babies - had been completely mix cd up. Both looked alike and their mothers were alike as two peas, ev-, erybody looked alike. None of the relatives could distinguish between i them, neither could the doctor. ; Finally it was decided to choose blindly and to baptize the babies two hours apart. A priest baptized the first hut when the second appealed he protested and filed a complaint before the courts. | The babies will never know their relationship surely. They wdll not know' who is the grandmother or who is the grandmother or who is the mother. The ntmhew may become his own uncle. The mother may be- • come the grandmother of her own I son. An amazing number of tangled relationships is possible. And when! the babies get married the tangle) will be still greater. j Further complications are expected I when the husband of the daughter re turns from Argentine, where he is on business and finds the mixup. He w'ill not know whether he is greeting his son or his brother-in-law. ; ALL SOCALLED POLITICAL PRIS ONERS" EXPECTED TO BE RR. I LEASED CHRISTMAS. I A. H.
