Independence. Aug. 15.--oregon's
first model land settlement unt1 be-

half miles from Independence on the
Oregon Electric Railway, is nearly
ready for occupancy. AS soon as 1t is
completed the farm will be assigned
to some bona fide settler on easy
payment terms to be fixed by the
commission.
There are so acres in the tract,
all under cultivation. The commits
sion has built fences, constructed a
barn, implement shed, chicken house,
hog house and modern farm bun
galow with running water, sanitary
plumbing and other conveniences.
The land Is we'll adapted for diversi-
ned farming such as hay, grain, ber-
ries. fruit, vegetables. hog-raising.

the active cooperation OF the farm
management of the college through

ground was plowed and sowed to
wheat and vetch and bumper crop

harvested and placed in the barn for
the man who acquires the farm.
Everything in connection with the
place has been done along the most

rest Of the $4,000 placed in its
hands by the state in the develop
ment of other model farm units
throughout the state. As soon as
the work on the first unit is CON-
pleted it will develop units along
similar lines in Central, Eastern and
Southern Oregon and one in the

TROUBLE BEGAN IN 1915 WHEN
CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAID FORD
is AN ANARCHIST
TRIAL LASTED THREE MONTHS
Report That Ford Was Trying to Dis
courage Recruiting Started Flame
That Resulted in Libel Suit

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. Is
The jury today awarded Henry
Ford SIX cents damages against the
Chicago Tribune.
1t was on June 23, 1916, after
Mexican bandits had raided Colum-
bus. N. NJ, and military prepared
ness was a burning issue, not only
because of the Mexican menace but
because of the conflagration in Eu-
rope. that the Chicago Tribune print
ed its famous editorial headed" Ford
is an Anarchist"
Editorial writer's of the Tribune
testified that they had followed dr.
Fords pacifistic propaganda, but
had not recognized it as a real dan
ger to the country until a news item
was received from Detroit that Mr..
Ford was trying to discourage the re-
cruiting of the guard which had been
ordered to the Rio Grande- The
item, authenticity of which was de-
MED by Ford witnesses, stated that
the Ford company would not pay the
salaries Of employees who went to the
border. hold their places for them,
nor care for their dependents.
1t was then that the editorial was
written. 1t called Mr.. Ford an
Ignorant idealist' and remarked
that his views on disarmament might
be different If his factories were on
the Rio Grande instead OF the peace
full Canadian border.
A feature of the case was the pro-
duction by the defendant OF more
than twenty witnesses from the Mex
lean border to testify to raids. mur-
ders and other acts which to the
mind of the Tribune counsel estab-
hshed the fact that there was con-
dition of anarchy along the border.
Professor Reeves OF the University
of Michigan, appearing as an expert.
testified that many of the Ford uter-
ances corresponded with the teach
ings OF well-recognized anarchists.
He gave definitions of the word tan
archist" which contained no refer
ence to bomb-throwing, but which
denoted one who works to oyerturn
the government.
Counsel for the defendant argued
that government exists only SO far
as It can enforce its DEGREES and pro-
tect the lives and property OF its cit
liens, that without force there can
be no government and that where
there is no government there is an
archy. Therefore. they sought to
establish that in opposing the re-
cruiting of. soldiers. Mr.. Ford oppos-
ed government itself. and, by the
same token, sought to establish an
archy.
The amount OF costs Mr.. Ford can
receive from the Tribune win not
exceed $50. as only nominal costs
can be assessed under the law where
damages are nominal.
