extended to the alley, and eventually
warehouse space was added. But
square dealing, courteous treatment

MORE MONEY FOR
COUNTY'S SCHOOLS
With an Average of u Mill Increase
and Plenty of Teachers Available
This Should Be Good Year
ITS Less Children.

The annual report of County Super
intendent Wilbanks TO Superintendent
Bond shows that there are IT'S less
children of school age in Polk county
than there were year ago. Of this
number Mena lost 7, Wickes 10, Board
Camp %, Acorn "a, Hatfield ~. Cove
gained AZ, and Grannis gained q. The
report shows that the schools received
more money from all sources in the
year 1918-1919 than they did in 1917
1918, the excess being 81, 204.11. The
salaries of teachers have been raised
slightly but not at ali in proportion to
the advanced wages in other lines of
business. The average salary of
teachers in 1917 was $55, and in 1913
was SCI. The length of school terms
has fallen behind, the average for 1918
being Sol months. This is probably
due to the influenza epidemic and the
scarcity of teachers. Twelve districts
had no school during the past year.
Another significant fact shown by the
report is that there were Is per cent
less male teachers in 1918 than in
1917. However, the people of Polk
county voted an average Of y mill in
crease in school tax and there are now
plenty of teachers available. No
school need stand idle this year. The
schools are catching the spirit of the
times and new buildings are being
erected, much new equipment pur-
chased, and higher salaries paid.

Charles T. Grundy, county attorney,

No More Munitions.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Carranza' S
government will not be permitted to
import further arms and munitions
from the United States for the pres
ent, at least This became known to-
day following the publication of the
exchange of notes between the United
States and Mexico, in which the Amer
lean government threatened change
of policy unless Americans in Mexico
were adequately protected.
Shipments of munitions into Mexi-
co has been prohibited since the United
States entered the war, but before that
time Carranza had purchased large
supplies in this country and it had
been the policy to let these go thru in
comparatively small lots.
There was no indication today that
the government contemplated any fur
Their immediate change in its Mexican
policy.

ARMY HAS PROFITEER REMEDY
When Civilians Charge Too Much,
Stands Are Closed.

Topeka, Aug 16.-The United
States Army has the method of stop
ping profiteering that state officials
wish they could use in some instances.
For some time Governor Allen has
been receiving reports from people
who went to Fort Riley base hospital
to visit boys that refreshment stand
was profiteering on refreshments. A
glass of soda water or glass of some
specially popular drink was ten cents
at this stand and other articles were
sold proportionately high.
The governor wrote to General Sage,
commandant at Fort Riley, and told
him about alleged profiteering. The
governor received today letter from
Col F. J. Mcconnell, executive officer
at the post, which said:
General Sage desires to thank the
governor for informing him of the
profiteering at the refreshment stand
near Section X at the camp hospital.
This stand will be closed by the time
this letter reaches you and branch
exchange started The general be-
lieves that in this manner refresh
ments and other goods will be sold to
those who care to buy at reasonable
prices

NEAR ULT|MATUM
Sent TO MEXICO
United States in Fine Fix to Give the
Country What Is Due if Abuses Do
Not Cease-NO More Munitions
Can Be Gotten in u. S.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The state
departments latest note to Mexico
warning President Carranza that if
murders and indignities continue, the
United States may be forced to adopt
radical change in it's attitude to-
ward that country was the chief topic
of interest and discussion today in
official and diplomatic circles here.
The note made public yesterday
along with reply from the Mexican
government lacked only diplomatic
techicalities to make it an ultimatum,
and was couched in probably the
strongest language used in any COM
munications between the two repub-
lies since the exchanges just prior to
the occupation of Vera Cruz by Amer
lean armed forces. While no official
statement was made concerning an
nouncement at this time of the change
of policy it generally was the opinion
today that pressure from foreign gov
ernments and demands in congression-
al circles for some protective action
FASTENED the announcement.
1t was pointed out that should some
drastic steps become necessary, the
United States, from military point
of view, now is in better shape to act
than at any time in it's history Of
long -drawn-out controversy with the
Mexican nation as to American rights
and privileges.

HENRY FORD Wins
BIG LIBEL SUIT
A. awarded 6 Cents Damages in Suit
Against Chicago Tribune, Which
Called Him an Anarchist
Rights of Newspaper.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. IA
iury tonight awarded Henry Ford six
cents damages against the Chicago
Tribune for calling him an anarchist.
Orvy Hulett, foreman of the jury,
~hid that they took mine ballots that
| can remember" The first one, &C
.ording to Leonard Measel, another
mror. stood 8 to in favor of award
hg Mr.. Ford some damages.
Attorney Alfred j. Murphy, for Mr..
Bord, said:
"The important issue in this case
mas been determined favorably to the
plaintiff. He has been indicated.
Money damages wer entirely sub
ordinate and were not sought by Mr..
Ford. He stands not only indicated,
Int his attitude as an American citi-
zen has been justified after trial
which raised every issue against him
which ingenuity and research could
present. His friends are entirely sat
SIZED"
Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for
ne Tribune, said:
1--WE consider it victory for the
reason that Attorney Afford Lucking
in closing for Mr.. Ford, stated that
anything less than substantial dam
ages would be defeat for his client"
Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. A.
The jury, which for three months has
been hearing testimony and arguments
"a Henry Ford's $1,000,000 libel suit
against the Chicago Daily Tribune, re-
tired today to consider it's verdict.
Judge James G. Tucker instructed
the jury that" the right of fair COM
nent" is expected in the case of Mr..
Ford, because his position as a great
employer of labor and entry as pro-
pagandist into the discussion of the
preparedness question made him a
public character.
Rights of Newspaper.
The Judge held that a newspaper
has no greater privileges in making
comment than has an individual.
The judge instructed that plaintiff 5
charges of pro-Germanism against the
Tribune and of selfish interest in adj
vocating intervention in Mexico had
not been proven and the jury need not
consider it.
Judge Defines Anarchist"
Judge Tucker gave the several def
sitions of the words anarchist" and
anarchy" but instructed that it was
The duty of the jury itself to determine
in what sense the newspaper used the
cords and what it would mean to its
readers.
There were two defenses, he con-
snued. If the jury finds the charges
IN the editorial were true, that Mr..
Ford was in fact an anarchist" and an
Ignorant idealist," it was complete
defense, he said. The fright of fair
comment" he instructed was a second
&efense to be considered only in the
event that the first defense was mad
oquate.
