HAYWOOD DEFENDS I. w. w.
Says Organization Never Resortcd
 to Violence.

Leavenworth, Kansas, July 29.- Planning an immediate return to Chicago, to be followed later by a tour of the country William D. Haywood, former secretary of the l. w. w., was released from the fed eral prison yesterday upon the receipt of papers from Chicago showing ap- proval of his bond pending an appeal.
 "Our organization has been mis- judged" he said. We did not op pose war with Germany. It couldn't be avoided. While we believe war as a whole is unnecessary, the I. w. w. was in sympathy with Americas cause, a fact that was proved by the entry of thousands of our members into military service and as workmen at the governme ent shipyards and docks. The I. w. w. is not respon- sible for nor guilty of the violence credited to it. We have never re- sorted to violence. We are the vic- tin1s of a newspaper war"

CHEAP CANDY POPULAR.
"All Day Suckers Are Coming Back
 Into Their Own.

According to the local candy deal CTS, high prices plus the luxury tax, have once again brought the "all-day suckers back into popularity. The fact that there is a shortage of sugar together with the high prices of ma terial and labor, have caused the prices of good candies to soar high. At the recent convention of the retail confectioners, held in Cincinnati, it was learned that the public has once more come down to the use of the old plain cheap candies.
 The ban on booze is stin1 Hating candy sales, and the service men have acquired the candy habit, having been supplied with millions of pounds of candy by the United States govern ment and private agencies. The local dealers report that the old style plain candies of the school store variety arc coming into their own.

famine to extend beyond the reciting
of the Lords prayer in which occurs

natives by their primitive methods of

that some of my friends have report

demonstration farm and looked at the
things with rose-colored glasses and
reported as accomplished the things
we hoped to accomplish" ."
Mr.. Higginbottom said that in Sc
lecting a farm for demonstration pur-
poses he purpOsely picked land for
which the natives would not pay rental
of eight cent per acre per year. BY
the use of scientific farming methods
and equipment he demonstrated that
twenty bushels of wheat could be rails

on better land were raising crop Of I
only six to eight bushels.

BY introducing a. sturdy variety of
cotton he has been able to show the
farmers how to get four bales of cotton
