Fords Suit Against
Chicago Tribune Heard
(Ry Associated Pressl

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May Is. -
One Of the most noteworthy libel
suits in the history of American juris-
prudence, that of Henry Ford versus
the Chicago Daily Tribune, for 81 ,000,-
600 was scheduled to open before Cir
cult Judge James G. Tucker here at
8 o'clock this morning With most
of the preliminary battles already
fought and decided in Illinois and De
troit courts, it is anticipated the case
will come to trial with little delay
The suit has already been in the
courts two and half years
The case is attracting such atten-
ton not only through the state, but in
many parts of the country, that the
courtroom has been remodeled for the
accommodation of the unusually large
array of counsel, court reporters and
stenographers and newspaper cores
pondents, some forty or more of
whom are expected. Arrangements
have been made for hourly transcripts
of progress of the case. 1t was anti
cipated attention of the court would
largely be occupied this morning with
the consideration of a brief, expected
from counsel for Mr.. Ford, and at
lacking the Tribune's defense. The
newspapers counsel has maintained
that the alleged hbelous statements
cited i nthe Ford suit were published
incidental to the Tribunes fight for
preparedness.

How Did Pioneers
Build Their Homes
In the Wilderness?

There was one indispensable condi-
ton to the placing of house in the
unbroken forests of early Wayne coun-
ty. 1t had to be near spring of pure
water. such as are yet abundant in
the county
Once an early settler decided where
he would build his cabin, day was
appointed when the neighborhood
turned out in body, and built the new
home as substantial welcome to the
newcomers. Trees of uniform size
were selected and cut, for q log for
the logs of the house. and another tree
usually big oak, was cut in four-foot
lengths by cross-cut saw, for the
clapboard covering.
The cabin went rapidly up, an ex-
pert axeman at each corner saddling
and notching the logs SO as to keep
the chinks between them as tight as
possible. The gable was made by
gradually shortening the logs, after
which poles were laid from end to end,
and the split clapboards were laid on
them exactly as shingles are laid to-
day. Heavy poles called weight poles
laid across them kept them on the
roof.
The wide chimney corner, defined
on the outside of the house by an al
most entirely independent little struc-
ture of logs built for the fireplace, was
cut out, and the spaces between the
logs OF this fireplace were filled with
clay. layer of which several inches
thick, also plastered the interior of
the fireplace. A door was made of
split clapboards and was hung with
wrought nails made by blacksmith,
to long vertical pieces called door,
pins. Slabs split from straight-grained
timber called puncheons, completed
| the home, and the family moved in.
In most cases, the pioneers began
at sun-up and the home was ready for
| occupancy at the end of the day. In
terror furnishings consisted of bed
steads made by strong poles fastened
In the walls and supported by stakes,
and overlaid with clapboards, on
which were placed the feather beds.

other ships used in the industry was slightly adj
vanced but the ratio of this increased cost to the
advance which the consumer was forced to pay
was entirely out of proportion All of us also
know that the cost of meat increased consider
ably because the price of feed which hogs and
cattle consume had mounted enormously in the
last two years, so that the feed proposition be-
came one of the vital factors that entered into the
increased cost of beef and pork.
But no sane man, excepting the barons of the
fish industry who maintained monopoly on the
industry, will assert that it cost more money In
the last two years to feed the fish of the seas
than it did before the war. Fish obtain their own
food.
The fish barons do not spend millions of dol
lars annually to obtain foodstuffs to dump into
the Atlantic ocean for the consumption of the
fish which they intend to catch during the season.
Neither do they spend thousands of dollars to
take care of the fish and prepare them for the
market.
On the contrary, fish are a gift of divine
providence to the man. or the company, that low
ers the net into the sea and withdraws it filled
with natures bounty. In the very nature of the
case, it seems criminal for any set of men who
obtain dividends from product that in the first
place costs them nothing to raise and feed should
force the people to pay exorbitant price in re-
turn for the money they have invested in the
ships and equipment necessary to remove the gift
from the sea and market it.
It is gratifying to know that the officials of
Massachusetts put an end to this form of rob-
berry, which was reprehensible not only because
it was the result of monopoly but also because
the product did not cost these men red cent to
produce If the fish barons had maintained gil
gantic fish ponds or had erected breeding places
and had been put to an enormous expense in rails
ing fish before they were brought on the market
there might have been extenuating circum-
stance, but under the conditions outlined above,
the unwarranted increase in the price of fish
through monopoly was culpable in the extreme

The Prosperity of Our Farms

The winter wheat crop as shown by the May
federal report is 1905 per cent in condition on
the largest acreage ever shown. The crop is es-
timated at 899, 900 bushels to which will be
added to the spring crop, not all of which has as
yet been planted. The guaranteed price of wheat
is $2.26, so that more than two billions will be
added to our national wealth from this source
alone. The hay crop is estimated at value of
one billion dollars The value of all farm pro-
ducts in 1918 was estimated at "a billions by the
department of agriculture, which is more than
the total of our Liberty Loan bonds. The value
of the 1919 farm products will be much in excess
of 1918, indicating that our wealth is constantly
increasing
The release of this agricultural wealth in all
channels of business and trade will have a stimu-
lating effect Reports from the department of
labor issued today indicate that the price level has
been stabilized and that business men are accept
ing the views of some of the leading economists
of this country in that particular There also has
been gratifying increase in the number of
building projects undertaken all over the United
States. All of this indicates that the United
States is rapidly getting on sound after-the-war
basis. It will be conceded that this is a healthy
sign and full of assurance for all of US.
Possibly the most conspicuous feature of the
business situation is found in the fact that prices
have apparently been somewhat stabilized" says
the federal reserve board. Marked declines are
still reported here and there in some special lines,
but from nearly all districts it is reported that
the uncertainty concerning prices has been miti-
gated and that business men expect that ex-

Great Fireworks Display
To Be Feature OF Peace
Celebration In England
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, May 13.-Huge pyrotech-
mic displays are to be the chief fea-
ture of England's celebration of peace.
In addition to chains Of .bonfires on
hills and heights, civic authorities
throughout the country are arranging
brilliant spectacles Of fire works and
the demand for fire works for private
suburban displays is already greater
than the manufacturers can supply.
The police of the country, especially
the London department, are strongly
encouraging the fire works plan rs
against an aimless wandering about
the streets of masses of people in
holiday mood as during the armistice
celebration week. The problem of
crowds is a serious one in London. To
prevent congestion of the streets it is
proposed to have five or six pyrotecii-
mic exhibitions in parks in various
parts of the city making all the dis
plays of similar interest so that people
will remain in their own districts.
The scheme of the committees in
charge of the celebration is to produce
Examinations which could be seen
from long distances. The giant bon
fire flares will be accompanied by
rockets and other effects. The fire
works are expected to be far superior
to anything previously shown in this
country, the experience of the war
having led to some remarkable and
beautiful developments.
One new kind gives out light OF
peculiar penetrating quality. 1t is
so brilliant that when it was given

Punishment for Fish Profiteers

Although the big companies that maintain
fishing fleets or buy the yield of fishermen do
not pay one cent for feeding fish or maintaining
has increased rapidly in the last two years. The
only increased cost with which the fish companies
had to contend was labor and the maintenance
cost of their boats.
The fish companies have taken advantage of
a situation to boost the price of fish. The prose-
cutting officer of the state of Massachusetts, re-
Gently obtained the conviction of seventeen bust
ness men on the charge of conspiracy for raising
the price of fish exorbitantly above what was
fair One of the interesting features Of the
charge to the jury by Judge Sanderson of the
Superior Criminal Court at Boston was that
Statewide monopoly for the purpose of obtain
ing exorbitant profits from the public may be
really as injurious to the people of the state as
if it extended throughout the whole country.
The issue Of the in the words of the judge
was an alleged agreements on the part of the de-
PENDANTS to exorbitantly and unreasonably en-
nance the price of fish and defraud the public
in Short to treat them in such an unjust and
wicked way as to extort from them money which,
in fairness, they ought not be compelled to pay"
It is matter of history that when the people
of the United States were called on to conserve
meat, the government advised an extensive use
of sea food, both as substitute and because it
was cheap. But coincident with this announce
lnent came an increase in the price of fish of all
sorts, including even the common varieties which
for many years had been offered for sale at a
very cheap price. It is unreasonable for the
barons of the fish industry to assert that in
creased cost in obtaining the catch was the con-
trolling factor in the steep advance that followed

and that the cost of maintaining trawers and
