Bill to Crush Reds.

Washington, Nov. Drastic
measures for the suppression Of reds
in the United States were submitted
to the senate today by the department
of justice in bill introduced by Sena-
tor Knute Nelson.
The bill defines seditious persons as
those who advocate, oppose, prevent
hinder, delay or seek to do any OF
these things against the free per-
formance of the government or one of
it's officers" The writing, printing
circulating Of any word, sign, speech
or picture Of any seditious nature or
which tends to incite sedition, is pun
ishable by fine Of $4,000 or 20 years
Imprisonment or both.
Under the section of the bill which
deals with the aliens convicted of
spreading seditious matter and advo-
eating bolshevism, the department of
labor is given authority to deport all
such aliens who are hereafter barred
from the United States. Naturalized
persons convicted under the act would
be subjected to decentralization and
deportation.
Existing conditions demand that
such law be enacted and there should
be no difficulty in getting the bill
through congress.

Potato Prices Advancing.


With the exception of Ohios, all
varieties Of potatoes have advanced in
the Princeton market from 10 to 80
cents per cwt since last Thursday, and
warehousemen are buying all chat are
offered.
Despite the bad roads there has
been steady flow of potatoes to
market and prevailing prices have
induced many growers to unload a
large percentage of their crops.
However, it is estimated that many
thousands. of bushels Of potatoes still
remain in the hands of growers, who
are awaiting a further advance in quo:
tations, and the chances are that they
will be rewarded, for an upward ten
dency is indicated throughout the
country
In Princeton shippers are suffering
from a shortage Of refrigerator cars,
and tits up to Mr.. Hines railroad ad-
ministration to furnish them. Hun
dreds of cars Of potatoes would be
shipped today if the government sup
piled adequate facilitiesA While the
buyers are waiting for cars the pota-
toes are naturally deteriorating.
