P. ice Prospects for 1918?
What will next year's crop pri
ces be? Perhaps the next Jan
uary report of the Secretary of
. Agriculture may Rive us a cure.
On January 1, 1918. the index of
prices of farm crops for the en
tire United States was 43.8 per
cent higher than a year ago, 104 7
per cent higher than two years
ago and 102.1 per cent higher
than the average of the last ten
years of the corresponding dates.
The tendency is upwwd and must
continue so long as the war lasts.
The world's production is already
below its normal consumption.
Everywhere heroic efforts are be
ing made to save food. As long
as we continue to draw men from
production and turn them to con
sumption, food will become scare
; er and its price will continue
to
rise.
Suppose the war is ended sud
denly. How about prices then?
For materials which go into muni
tions and war supplies, the prices
will probably decline rapidly.
For farm crops hardly. It will
take a year, perhaps two, for the
world, Europe in particular, to
start rehabitation, and get back
' Into productive channels. The
danger to trans-Atlantic shipping
will have been removed, and food
crops will move to Europe much
more readily and in greater quan
tities than at present This will
mean a ready demand for every
thing America can produce and at
good prices.
Whether war continues or p ac )
comes the American farmer is as
sured of good prices forevery-
thing he can produce for some

HONORABLE ROBERT PATTON HABGOOD
OF BRADFORD, McKEAN COUNTY, PA.
Candidate for Governor in the Republican Primaries
"Bob " Habgood or " Happy " as he is known throughout the
state by a host of friends and acquaintances, was born in Belle
fonte, Center county, on May 21st, 1871, and spent his boyhood iu
Renovo, Clinton county, where he received his schooling, being a
graduate of the Renovo High School in 1887. He moved to
Bradford, McKean county, in 1888, with his parents. His first job
there was that of car-repairer's helper at the railroad shops of the
Buffalo,' Rochester & Pittsburg Railway. Mr. Habgood is now the
editor and publisher of the Bradford Evening Star and Record and
for many years has served as an officer of the State Editorial Asso
ciation as well as the Associated Dailies of Pennsylvania.
Great Interest has been manltest-d
throughout the state In the candid
acy of the Hon. Robert fatton Hab
good of the city of Bradford, Mc
Kean county. His announcement
came as a surprise to an, but eacn
day shows the growing sentiment in
his favor among the rank and tile
of the Republican party. Not only
are the Republicans of the interior
counties of the state tired of fac
tionalism and attempts to use me
same for personal vengeance, but
there are thousands of Republican
voters in the dominant cities wno
share the same strong sentiment.
Is there any good reason why the
-tip-state'' Republicans and counties
should not be given full support tor
a candidate from the northwest sec
tion of the state and from the north
ern tier of counties? This Is tne
question being asked by those of the
city and the country and no one de
nies the loglo and force ot It. The
northern tier of counties and the
northwest never had a governor trom
thelT section and the Interior ot the
state has not been so recognized
since Governor Hastings. Isn't It
about time for the country to insist
on such recognition and thereby in
sure strong support and unity
through the whole state tor that bwi
tlment, and It would be most surpris
ing, too, how many Republican voters
In the two or three largest count.es
of the state would te only too glad
to go in with such a change ot pro
gram and sentiment.
Philadelphia, Allegheny and adjoin
lng counties deserve great things and
ample recognition, but "too much is
plenty" and no one will say that they
have not been given all and more than
their share, however, unless the Re
publican voters staud together for a
change from that program at least
once in a generation, it will never
occur, and particularly now under
the direct primaries instead of the
convention system. Why not do It
this year and you will be amazed at
the help the big cities will give us
and glad of the opportunity to do so?
With the present factional breacn
in our party there Is an absolute
menace to the success ot our ef
forts to elect a Republican governor
should either faction prevail at the
primaries. To lose the governor this
year would do more than anything
else to eleot a Democratic president
In 1920, and none would be stronger
therefor than the Democrat who
could be elected governor or Penn
sylvania, carrying with It the dan
ger oven of a Democratic United
States senator to be the colleague
of our distinguished Senator Knox,
and all because we Republicans in
Pennsylvania would not put Repub-
above factionalism, but
would rather sell our birthright foi
a mess of potage.
MR. HABGOOD'S STATEMENT
The following statement was Issued
bv the Hon. Robert Patton Habgood
of McKean county, from his home
city of Bradford, Pennsylvania:
"I am a candidate tor governor ot
Pennsylvania, subject to the decision
of the Republican primaries to be
held on May 21, 1918.
"My candidacy is Intended to crys
tallize in city and county the wide
spread sentiment for Republicanism
over and above factionalism, i in
vtte and earnestly urge all Republic
ans to lay arlde the adjectives some
times need to define a kind of Re
publican or faction In our party, and
to unite In nominating a candidate
who Is not brought out by any fac
tion, leader, 'boss,' or office-holder.
Why should factional fights In Phil
adelphia or Harrlsburg be allowed to
create two tactions among us In every
voting precinct In the state? Fac
tlonallsm Is rampant and seems to be
going to seed.
"During my two terms In the leg
islature and my two years' service as
president ot the Republican State
league, my constant endeavor was to
inuresrfe unity and harmony in our
Our friend R. R. Sipes, one o f
Licking Creek township's sub
stantial citizens, was a business
visitor at the County Seat Mon
day. Reuben has shown him
self to be as successful a t farm
ing as he was at teaching.
More care is necessary in fat
tening calves than in feeding

sible, it is best to raise and finish

A
party regardless of personal sacrifice.
in the session of 1915 1 withdrew as
a candidate for speaker ot the house
in favor of Charley Ambler, In tse
spirit of harmony and seconded his
nomination. As a member ot that
session I voted tor all the new leg
islation styled as progressive and hu
mane sponsored by Governor Brum
baugh, Including the workmen's com
pensation bills, the child labor law.
the woman's suffrage referendum, etc.,
yet during the same session I did
not hesitate to oppose the governor
on the floor ot the house on other
legislation and secured a majority ol
all the members elected to the lower
house to vote against bis veto.
"As president ot the Republican
State League of clubs, with organized
clubs in every county in the state, 1
took an active part with Congress
man James Francis Burke In behalf
of the candidacy ot the Hon. Phil
ander C. Knox for the' presidency,
at which time the distinguished honor
was unanimously accorded me by the
Republican state convention as one
of the four delegates-at-large to the
Republican national convention at
Chicago In June, 1908, with Governor
Stuart, Col. James Elverson of Phil
adelphia and Col. Charles Rook of
Pittsburgh as associates therein, and
in which capacity we all zealousij
endeavored to secure the maximum
harmony and the minimum factional
ism through the nomination at that
time of Senator Knox, whose career
is a synonym for harmony within our
party and who has always refused
to aid any faction.
"Consistent with my unswerving,
open and constant approval during
the past twelve years, ot a nation
wide basis, I am ready for and favor
the national amendments for prohi
bition and woman's suffrage, and my
newspaper, the Bradford Evening
Star and Record, will support local
candidates In McKean county at the
primaries favoring those amend
ments. The next governor, however,
will not have an opportunity to ap
prove or veto any aotlon thereon
taken by the coming session of the
general assembly, therefore the re
sult then must be decided by the
nomination and election of members
and senators this year.
"The Republicans 'up-state,' year
In and year out, have voted and work
ed for candidates residing or select
ed In Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties, and more than once have
thereby saved those candidates trom
defeat, and now my candidacy will
enable all Republicans, both 'up-state'
and in the dominant cities, to vote
tor and support a candidate not a
resident ot nor selected In nor by
Philadelphia or Allegheny counties.
"I am not the candidate ot any
faction, committee, organization, lead
er or 'boss,' and none of them knows
of my candidacy, the decision to is
sue this statement or the statement
Itself. I am, and always have been.
a plain, every-day, loyal Republican
In my newspaper, on the stump and
personally, I have always freely sup
ported the entire Republican ticket,
whether that ticket cost me my de
feat or that of my favorite In the
preceding primaries.
"Neither quarrelsome nor meddle
some motives prompt my candidacy.
Just the opposite. The achievements
and principles of the Republican
party are broad ' enough, strong
enough, glorious enough and potent
enough to appeal to every Republican
to put Republicanism above faction
alism and to put party harmony above
the personal ambition or the personal
vengeance ot any man. There is
nothing to be gained by a campaign
of revenge, bickering and slander.
The rank and file ot the Republican
paFty will control the primaries this
year and they are awake and think
ing for themselves.
"Fellow Republicans, will you per
mit your party to be split and torn
by factionalism in the primaries
when you know full well a victory
then by any faction would contribute
only to the satisfaction and success
cf the opposition in November?''

Taken to the Hospital.
Owing to a persistent pain in
the head, Reed Bivens, son of
County Treasurer Leonard Biv
ens, was taken to a hospital in
Philadelphia, for treatment and
possible operation. His many
friends hope for a speedy recov
ery. A New York paper raises the
question, "if a man en joys an in
come of $20,000 a year how much
Bhould be given to the wife for
her expenditure?" which to our
way of thinking is a ridiculous
way of putting it The point is,
how much would the man have
left after the wife took out what
considered her share?
If every farm home would
keep a supply o f pop corn and a
popper convenient, fewer nickles
would be spent for less whole
some knickknacks and more en
joyable evenings would be spent
around the family hearth.
