Truck Season at Lake City

The truck season is opening up in
full blast and so far the prices re-
turned have been very satisfactory.
This week saw the first of the snap
bean crop beginning to come to mar
ket and by next week the shipments
will reach probably to good many
hundred baskets. The first squash
of the season were shipped by S. I.
Goodwin and w. T. Askins.
Beans have been bringing $3.50 on
the local market and on Wednesday
afternoon about $50 baskets went
north.
It was feared at the beginning of
the week that the shippers, would
have to resort to freight as an ex-
press embargo had been placed on
all express shipments to New York
on account of big strike of the ex.
press force there. Just about half
an hour before the northbound train
No. 7s Wednesday word came that
the embargo had been lifted as the
strike was settled and there was a
mad rush to get the shipments
ready. While the market is just
opening good, several thousand dol
lars have already been turned loose
in the community.-Lake City News.

The Spider As A Barometer

One of the simplest of natures
barometers is a SPIDERS web. When
there is a prospect of wind, or rain
the spider shortens the filaments by
which its web is sustained and leaves
it in this state as long the wealth
er is variable. If it elongates its
threads it is sign of fine, calm
weather, the duration of which may
be judged by the length to which the
threads are let out. If the SPIDER re-
mains inactive it is a sign of rain;
if he keeps at work during rain the
downpour will not last long, and
will be followed by fine weather,
says an exchange. Observation has
taught that the spider makes chang,
es in its web every "a hours, and
that if such changes are made IN
the evening before sunset the night
will be clear and beautiful.

Is FORD AN ANARCHIST
Counsel For Tribune Says He is
Dangerous One

Mount Clemens, May 21.-A We
hement denunciation in which Henry
Ford was characterized not only as
an anarchist, but a dangerous one,
startled spectators in Judge Tuck
er's court here today. The assertion
came from Elliott G. Stevenson, of
Detroit, one of counsel for the Chi
cago Tribune, which is being sued
for one million dollars damages by
Mr. Ford on a charge of libel. The
pivot Of the alleged libel published
June %, 1916, was the heading Of
an editorial reading:
''tord is an anarchist"
In his comment, incident to debate
on a brief in which the plaintiff
seeks to limit the evidence, Mr.. Ste
venSon alluded to the assassination
of President Mckinley, the bomb
outrages during the preparedness
parade at San Francisco, the war
time offenses of members of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, and
devoted some time to the copper
heads" of the civil war. He quoted
President Lincoln as writing in ref
ci tilSe W tHt lhlo
Confederate lines of Clement L..
Vanlandingham, copper head"
leader of Ohio, as follows:
"Must I shoot the simple minded
soldier who deserts, while l must
not touch hair of the head of the
willy agitator who incites him to
desert?"
$50 we say to Henry Ford" the
lawyer declared, "you are more re-
sponsible for the outrages that have
been committee during the war than
any of the men who used direct ac-
ton because you, great leader, and
humanitarian, encouraged them and
and they believed that you must be
right"
Earlier in the session Attorney
Alfred Lucking representing Mr..
Ford, quoted much law in arguing
that military preparedness has moth
ing to do with the present case and
that there were many court decis-
ions which would confine the present
issue to considering only whether
the headline "Ford is an anarchist
was libel.

Frost. Proof Corn Grown by Indians

Maize, OF Indian corn, in its pres
ent form, represents one OF the great
achievements of primitive planters,
the North American Indian, says
Robert Fl. Moulton, in an illustrated
article in the June Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. 1t came origin3l'v it
is now generally accepted, from
southern Mexico, and was eaten by
the Maya tribes. At first, it was
nothing but coarse grass on which
were tiny ears resembling the top
of the wheat stalk. The plant is es-
senitally tropical and, despite CEN
turies of culture in the temnerate
zone, is still sensitive to frost.
The tribes of North America saw
the possibilities of the grain and
hastened its evolution. There has
been crossbreeding by white farm
ers, vet, as a matter of fact, the
corn culture of the present day is
practically as it came from the hand
of the Indian. He has "''~-'' nd
modified it to various sections of the
country by process OF careful Sc
lection.
Recently it occurred to some
scientists that desnite the drawback
of the weather the Mandan Indians
of the North were raising corn. An
expedition made study of the agri-
cultural methods of the Mandans,
and it developed that for centuries
the farmers of the tribes had been
developing a hardy corn. The seed
had been selected from year to year
from stalks which showed no effect
of frost.
