FREE FAIR NOW IS
 PRACTICALLY ASSURED
Mass Meeting Last Night Proves That People Want a Perma- nent Agricultural Institution Will be Far Reaching.

The mass meeting at the court house last night held for the purpose of determining the attitude of our people on a free fair, was attended by a representative bunch of our leading citizens as well as number of ladies who are always to be considered in a project of this kind. Our excellent band headed by the peerless Prof. Blake, was quite drawing card for the meeting, as this is the bands first appearance since the boys returned from the border, and to say that they lent enthusiasm to the occasion would be a small tribute.
 Hon. T. C. McRae was unanimously elected chairman for hte evening and his opening talk on the question of the moment was received with loud applause. Mir. McRae stated that in his estimation free fair is the most satisfactory way of running an insti- tuition of this kind He expressed himself. as being solidly behind the movement.
 A standing vote was taken on the question and the crowd showed them selves as being in favor of the propo- sition unanimously.
 E. J. Watson, agricultural agent of the P & N. w., was called upon to speak and we wish that we were able to give you his remarks in full as they were sound and to the point. He proved beyond doubt that such an institution can be run regularly with out cheap and vulgar shows and with out admission charges.
 M. C. Ferguson, our county agent, was the next to speak and he pledged his support and stated that all the farmers with whom he had spoken to of this matter were in favor of it.
 Miss Sarah Griswold, our home de- monstrator, spoke from the ladies and girls viewpoint and assured the peo- pie that her canning club girls would enter worthy exhibit
 M. W. Greeson also gave a number of valuable points in favor of the fair as well as number of other citizens.
 The following executive committee was appointed by the chairman with full power to act in all matters: M. w. Greeson, chairman; R. l.. Blakely, M. L. Moore, J. w. Franks, Mesdames John A. Davis, Fred Powell and R. L.. Blakely. With the following ex-ofiicio members: Miss Sarah Griswold, M C. Ferguson, E. J. Watson.

Department employees
Speaks at Fourth Annual Banquet Of
Workers Under Him-Praises

Secretary Wilson Of the Department
of Labor last night at the fourth an
nual banquet of the Labor Department
employees at Rauscher's expressed his
appreciation of the work of the indi-
viduals and of the bureaus during the

the necessary funds had not been pro
vided Discussing the employment
service, he said that during the first
seven months of the current fiscal
year $1,000 jobless persons had been
put in contact with that many jobs, and
this without specific authority from
Congress. If that number can be placed
without authority. he asked. how many
can be placed when Congress does give
the proper authority.
He told his employees that he would
work in season and ont of season to
get legislation in the states and in
federal zones which would keep chill
dren in the schools and away from the
factories until they We're properly
equipped to fight the battles of life.

HUSSIA THINKS GERMANY
AND u. S. WILL CLASH
Diplomatic and Official Circles Con-
slider Request to Arm Ships Sec
ond Step Toward War.

PETROGRAD. March 1. 1 pm. via
London, March 2, 1920 a.m.-President
Wilson's request of Congress for power
to arm ships is held in diplomatic and
official circles here to constitute the
second step toward war with Germany
and to be the logical sequence of the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
with that country. The only possibil-
ity of avoiding war; it is believed here
is for Germany to surrender her posi-
ton concerning her submarine war
fare.
The speech of the President to Con-
gress is applauded as an indication of
President Wilson's firm decision to de-
fend the American merchant fleet by
editorials follow similar trend in
dealing with the subject The foreign
office today authorized the Associated
Press to make public the following:
president Wilson's address has made
a good impression. If his policy is
carried out the arming of ships will
make almost impossible the avoidance
of armed conflict with Germany, for
the latter will never relinquish the use
of submarines. Taking into considera-
ton certain official information re-
ceived from Germany that she would
not abate her submarine activity, but on
the contrary. would consider the arm
ing of merchant ships a hostile act, we
must assume that war between Amer
ica and Germany is unavoidable"

Percentage Trade Held.

The brief asserts that the Interna-
tional now has less than 65 per cent of
the harvesting machine trade, and less
than 26 per cent of the trade in all
lines of agricultural implements that
it manufactures.
The brief concludes that the crucial
issue is not as to the purpose of the
companys organization in 1902. but
whether, when the suit was brought in
1912, it was unduly restraining trade
or threatening to do so
The brief suggests that, in any view,
dismissal of the suit without prejudice
would protect the interests of the
public by enabling the government at

Cites View Of Lower Court.

To the governments various charges
of unlawful purpose, it is answered
that the acts of men are the best evil
dence of their intentions. and the
tribute to the honesty and fairness of
the business of the International,
in the opinion of the judges in the
courts below, is the strongest evil
dence that the claim of the government
has no real or substantial foundations"
1t is explicitly denied that the Inter
national has the power to drive out
competitors or raise prices. 1t is
argued that the Internationars share of
the harvester trade steadily decreased
during the ten years covered by the
record, while that of the competitors
largely increased; also that new and
powerful competitors, with over SS4,-
100000 capital. have entered the field
since the International was formed.
This does not include the big Massey
Harris Company of Canada, with re-
sources of s30,000,000. In ten years the
Internationars competitors. the brief
adds. increased their capital stock more
than S133.000,00O against the 1nterna-
S20,OOO,OOO increase.

ASKS TO Be JUDGED
|. BY RULE OF REASON
Harvester Company's Answer
in Governments Suit Under
Antitrust Law.
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

In a brief filed in the Supreme Court
to the governments recent brief in a
suit for the dissolution of the corpora
ton, heard on appeal. the Interna-
tional Harvester Company asks that 1t
be judged according to the rule of
reason rather than the rule of size
and according to the actual language
of the Sherman law.
Arguing for the application Of the
rule of reason" the brief asks:
rs it logical, or just, to urge the
court to dismember corporation that
possesses no unfair advantage-whose
record has been helpful and not injuri-
Gus to the public, whose. treatment of
competitors by the finding of the lower
court has been honorable. clear and
fair'-for fear that some other combi-
nation that has actually restrained
trade or is attempting to do so, may
escape punishment"
Answers Governments Contention.
The brief contends that the case
against the Harvester company rests
enllFely upon It's diieSeu Nioi'ei'ii' nv
of what Congress put into the law,
but of what the government counsel
now asserts Congress had in mind when
it enacted the law.
This course. it is declared, upsets the
rule, that the purpose and prohibitions
of a statute must be ascertained from
it's language.
The Harvester brief further points
out that the Standard Oil and tobacco
companies were condemned. not be-
cause of their size. but on account. of
their wrongful purposes and oppressive
acts and the resultant injury to the
public. The new and different claim
now made by the government is that
the mere uniting in the Harvester COM
pany of former competing companies is
violation of the Sherman law. and
this is declared to be condemnation
