For week the man who has been
described as everything from an IAN.
archist' to the greatest patriot of his
day, has been on the stand facing a
merciless fire of questions.
During the reading of an article
written by John Reed on Henry Ford,
and published in the Metropolitan Mag
azine, the audience in the court cham
Der violated all precedent by breaking
into applause and Mr.. Ford, visibly en-.
barrassed, raised his hand in protest.
Fribune Counsel had &deaeoofssd 70
quote paragraphs from the Reed arti-
Gle but had been compelled, by objec-

the interview in its entirety. In the
main it was highly complimentary To-
Mr.. Ford.

The audience, many Of them from
the surrounding farms OF this commu-

probation of that ideal.
Twice Mr.. Ford, wearying Of the
questions having to do with his knowl7
edge of history, said "Oh, I'll admit
that I'm an ignorant idealist If you

What is an idealist?" queried Tri-

REGISTER W. 8. s. CERTIFICATES
Lost or Stolen Certificates VIII Not
Be Replaced Unless They Are
Registered.

A War Savings Certificate which
has been lost or destroyed will not be
paid nor will duplicate thereof be is-
sued, unless the certificate has been
registered in accordance with the reg
ulations and instructions issued by the
Postmaster General, announces the
Treasury Department at Washington.
In the event of the loss or destruc-
ton of a registered certificate, the
registrant may apply to the postoffice
where the certificate was registered
either for a duplicate certificate or
for the payment thereof. After the
issuance Of the duplicate certificate,
the original becomes invalid. No du-
plicate certificate will be issued after
maturity OF the original.
War Savings Certificates may be
registered without cost at any post
office Unless registered, the Govern
ment will not be liable II payment Of
any certificate is made to . person

patient, Henry Ford made deep I'M
preston on the audience. Not once
did he lose his temper under the heck
ling Of opposing attorneys, even when
their questions verged on the edge Of
insult. But when the examination
touched on subjects which are close TO
his heart, the League Of Nations, war
and the happiness and prosperity Of
Humanity, counsel found him eagerly

"War Is Murder"
He hammered that fact home and
with it he always added, War is muir

Il was a murderer" he said, Il was
helper of murder. When the crisis
came we all took hand. But it is all
the same. War is murder"

What is the better way?"
why, to educate people. To teach
them to think for themselves"
A long examination was conducted
which sought to quiz Mr.. Ford concern
ing his views on history, based on a
remark which he once made that II
wouldn't give five cents for all the his
tory ever written"
81 don't think much more of it now
than did then" testified Mr.. Ford.
1.-The war showed us that history
didn't last week. ALI the things they
told us would happen didn't happen.
They went ahead, knowing what war
meant, and made the same mistakes
all over again. The history we write
today Is the thing that counts. I'm
not interested in yesterday"
The Flag Of Nations.
The much discussed flag of a League
of Nations, which 1t has been stated
Mr.. Ford was having made in his fac
tory before the United States entered
the war, was brought into court. The
testimony developed the fact that Mr.
Ford did not originate the design oil
the flag and had never seen the ban

of 1t once in st. Paul's Cathedral, d
troit, he said, Tut had never heard OF
II again and knew nothing about It,
He denied emphatically that he ever
said he would raise this flag above
the Stars and Stripes, and said the
statement that he reverenced this ban

SHORTAGE OF FEED IS
WORRYING ST0CKMEN

The shortage of hay and the general
drought conditions in the Ukiah region
do not warrant the sale of breeding
stock by stockmen of that section. ac-
cording to Fred Bennion. county agent
who made a trip to Ukiah yesterday
and who reports that some stockmen
are becoming panicky because OF feed
ing conditions. He cites as an ex-
ample the shipment of rs carloads
from Pilot Rock Sunday.
While IL is estimated that the hay
crop is only 40 per cent, and while
the market is slumping because Mon
tana and wyoming stockmen sold be-
cause of the extreme dryness of the
range i'm those two states, Mr.. Bennion
is OF the opinion that the hetter policy
would be to hold the stock. Ex-
perienced stockmen. he says. are not
worried about the outcome and are
not selling.

Consequently the pens are crowded

KNOX BEWAILS HARSH
TERMS WHICH TREATY
IMPOSES ON GERMANY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Ths
treaty now before the senate Is merely
"truce of Versailles not a treaty
of lasting peace. 1t dozen not spell
peace but was-war more woefuI and
devastating that the one just closed. IL
lays the foundation for centuries of
blood letting" Senator Knox present.
ed that characterization pending the
treaty to the senate in a speech in
which he stated, ''the more / consider
this treaty the more / am convinced
the only safe way for us TO deal with
it is to decline to be a party to it at
all''
As the facts concerning the treaty
become apparent to the American
people Knox said they will see the
whole of the great gaunt tragedy into
which those who were about to pro-
tect them were about to throw them"
He declared the treaty provisions are
so harsh on Germany that II will kill
the golden egg of reparations upon
which the allied nations have counted
so much. He said instead of ratifying
the treaty the United states should
