sentenced to terms ranging from 10
to 20 years for violation of the war
lime espionags act, will be given new
trials under a decision this week by
..the Supreme court.'
Dividing six to three, the court
held ' that Federal District Judge
Landls, of Chicago, yas ineligible to
conduct the trial and should have re
tired upon the filing of an affidavit
by the defendants charging him with
"personal bias and prejudice," be
cause of the nativity of certain' of
them.
While Justice McKeuna was read
ing the majority opinion of the court,
announcement came from the White
House that President Wilson had
overruled a recommendation of the
Department of Justice that the sen
; tence of Eugene V. Debs, previously
affirmed by the Supreme court, be
commuted to expire on next Febru-1
ary 12. Debs, many times candidate
of the Socialist party for President,
is serving 10 years in the Federal
prison in Atlanta, Ga., as a result of
bis conviction at Cleveland, Ohio, on
Tactically the same charges as were
Berger and his co-defendants.
100-YEAR CONVICT SCNT HIS
GIFTS TO EUROPEAN RELIEF
With sentences of more than 100
years hanging over him as a result
of convictions in this country, on
charges of highway robbery and mur
der, Clarence Reeves, at Birming
ham, Ala., has sent various contri
butions which had come to him
since his trials to the local commit
tee on European relief, declaring
i'.izt starving children needed the
inor;y. v.-:., :-'.'
Kind-tif. -".ted persons who .had
learned of Reeves' plight sent him
money and many have written him
letters The prison authorities said
that he refused to spend a cent of
the money on himself, choosing to
eat prison fare and accept the regu
lation allowances in order that the
money might go to the relief fund.
Three principal officers and two di
rectors of the Wizard Automobile
rv.mm.nv f Charlotte, were held for
investigation by. a federal grand jury
under bonds of $3,000 each by Com
missioner Cobb at Charlotte Monday
night, at the conclusion of a prelimi
nary hearing. Which began a week
ago, on charges of conspiracy and
traud in the use of the mails.
According to the district attorney,
there vas fraud in almost all of the
transactions of the defendant officers
of the company from its organiza
tion. He pointed out with emphasis
the evidence that $236,000 of stock
in the newly organized manufactur
ing company was awarded to Genor
al Manager Walters and subsequent
ly divided among the Kdwardy's and
Walters. They committed fraud, de
clared the assistant district attor
ney, when they allotted stock to
themselves in payment for rights
and franchises. Trusted representa
tives of a corporation, such as direc
tors, have no riht to buy their own
property from themselves," he de
clared. The government's attorneys
review d in detail set forth In adver
tising matter distributed by the
company in its widespread campaign
for the sale of stock, branding the
claims as fraudulent. )

Three detectives were shot and
seriously wounded by three bandits,
who held up and robbed the Morton
Bond Company's offices in the public
square at Detroit. At the hospital it
was said two of the detectives prob
nbiy Will die.
The bandits escaped with". $10,000
In liberty bonds. The bandits enter
ed t he bond Office Ifonday morning
about 9 o'clock and seized a package
of. bonds lying on the Cashier's desk.
At the door they encountered a
number of detective- summoned by
one of the clerks who pushed a call
button when they turned from t he
cashkr's cage. Shooting their way
throur.li a crowd at the door the
bandits dropped the three detectives
and escaped hi an automobile. '
W. R. Ogg, seiretary and treasurer
cf the Virginia Growers1 Association,
took in all of the piles of tobacco
he had set out on one of the Dan
ville warehouse floors and which sold
at a figure which he believed to be
below what it shouVd have brought
The Register says:
He said that this was the best
curing he had and that the price
paid for It did not square with that
paid earlier for tobacco of similar
quality, which brought nearly' twice
as much as did his. He reported that
one farmer who also sold in Dan
ville Tuesday, dissatisfied with the
price he received,, took in his tobac
co, but later placed it on the floor at
another spot and that when it was
reached it sold for nearly double
the first bid at which it had : been
knocked out.
According to Mr. Ogg, the mem
bership In the organization is in
creasing slowly and surely, also that
it has been decided to continue the
membership campaign until March.
Roughly speaking, fifty; per cent of
the Virginia growers are signed up
and are pledged to reduce their acre
age one-third. In .some communities
ninety-five per cent of the growers
have signed and in others 70 and 75
Including those areas which have
not yet been thoroughly canvassed
he states, the rough average mem
bership is 50 per cent. The official
declares that the belief obtains, in
the minds of most farmers that, tha
farm organisation has resulted in
the more favorable prices now be
ing paid for tobacco. It is also
probably true, he states, that the
planters still have a good deal of to
bacco on hand and that while in
normal vears the cron would be
nearing its end, it should be remem
bered that many farmers had heed
ed the advice given them and that
they had been marketing slower
than usual and that there is more in
the barns than is generally believ
ed. In- some cases farmers, more or
less independent and who are not in
need of ready money, have sold a
very small proportion of their hold
ings and are now profiting by the
prices which are yielding a fair mar
gin of profit.

Mr. Edsel B. Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company gives
''...'.'.
out the following statement;
"TIk price of the ' FORDSON . Tractor has been reduced from
$790.00 to $025.00, dTective immediately.
"The price change has been made -possible through lower costs
of materials and the fact that we are now located in our new Trac
tor Plant with greatly increased economic manufacturing facilities in
immediate connection with our foundry and machine shops and large
blast furnaces where iron is poured dirtily .'from the ore, giving us
maximum efliciency. with the power to reduce cwt of production, and
down comes the price in the line with our policy to market our pro
ducts at the lowest possible tigure without in any way affecting our
high standard of quality. ;-v.;;''.;.'.-''."'''-
" Wo are particularly jileasod in being able to bring about this big
-reduction in price at this time, 'because the farmer needs all l4ie help
we can give him, and this big cut in price will be the means of placing
a valuable power unit within the reach of practically everyone of them,
not to mention industrial and commmercial conceins which likewise
have benefited through its use and are already realizing, to a much
greater extent, its value as a power and hauling unit. But . .particularly ;
has the Fordson Tractor proved a most valuable factor in the saving
of farm labor, at the same time increasing the per acre crop yield as
well as making possible, a. utilization of previously uncultivated land, to r
say nothing of removing no end of drudgery. V
'- There is no rpieston that the use of machine power on the farm
is the greatest advancement made in the development of agriculture, not
only in money saving and money making results, as well as raising the
standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of
its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and
consequently our desire to place the FORDSOX within the reach of all.
"THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE PRESENT FORD CAR AND
TRUCK PRICES,
which are already at the lowest possible figure, and now with rock
bottom reached on the tractor price a further reduction in price on
either the Car, Truck' or Tractor is out of the question; in fact, the big
price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum pro
duction and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume
of new business is not obtained. Therefore, present prices of Ford
products cannot be guaranteed against possible increases."
Ask for the book, "The Fordson at Work," which wilLb'e supplied
free of cost. Let us demonstrate the value of the Fordson on your
farm, in your factory, lumber yard, coal yard, or in any general hauling
or power work you have, to do and let us have your order for a Fordson
