FORD WILL WITHDRAW
He Has Deal Whereby He Will Re-
tire From Ford Motor Car Co.

Detroit, Mich, April 1s.-Henry
Ford! motor king. has under consid-
Grafton a deal whereby he will with
draw from the Ford Motor company,
relinquisning his mammoth interests
which control the plant.
While Ford refused to be inter-
viewed on the subject, his secretary,
Henry Liebold, today admitted to the
United Press that such a deal is under
contemplation, with the General Mo-
tors company as the proposed pur-
chaser.
If consummated. this exchange will
be the greatest made in the money
world for some time, involving scores
of millions of dollars.
Rumors have been circulating thru
Wall street for some time, but pre-
viously there have been strong denials
from officials at the Ford plant that
the deal was even contemplated.
In selling the controlling interest in
the plant, Ford would be stepping off
the throne which made him one of the
best known men in the world and
brought for him the title of motor
king"

AS the Italians see it. they could
overturn the whole peace settlement
by refusing to accept any treaty not
meeting their claims-then calling
upon the signatories of the pact of
London to live up to their agreement
against arra@Slpg a separate peace.
(The signatories to the pact of Lon
don, contaminated in 1915 were Italy,
Great Britain, France, and Russia.
Under this agreement Italy was given
certain territorial concessions for en-
tering the war on the side of the al
lies.)
Certain of. the allies led by the
Americans have maintained that ac-
ceptance of the armistice terms abro-
gated all secret treaties. President
Wilson. who has been placed in a po-
sition of virtual arbitrator of the rival
claims of the Italians and -Slavs.
has made it known that he will not
deviate from the stand that his dis
pute must be settled according to the
fourteen points.
The Jugo-Slav delegation, it devel-
oped today. has written to Premier
Clemenceau, asking that the future of
Fiume and Dalmatia be solved by a
plebiscite. under the recognized prin-
ciple of DIFFERENTIATION.
The japanese, in pushing their de-
mands for early settlement of the
Shantung question, are expected to
appear before the big FOUR tomor-
row or Sunday. They are insistent
that their claims to ratification OF
concessions in the Shantung peninsula
which are bitterly opposed by the
Chinese-be recognized at once it is
understood. General sentiment, how
| ever. appeared to favor the Chinese in
this dispute.

TAKES CHANGE OF VENUE
Judge Thurman Allows Two Women
To Move Trial

Lamar, Mo, April 1S.-Judge B. G.
Thurman in the circuit court here last
yesterday granted the application for
change of venue of Mrs Leola Lynch
and Mrs. Maude Lynch, wife ana
mother, respectively, of Jay Lynch,
fugitive slayer of Sheriff John Harlaw
of Barton county and his 1S-year-oId
son. The cases were sent to Dade
county for trial at the June term of
court. The women are charged with
being accessories to the double muir
der. Judge Thurman in ruling on the
motion said it was apparent that feel
ing against the defendants here was
strong. The defense had contended
that the feeling was such that they
would not have fair trial, The bond
of Lynch's mother was fixed at $1,000
and his wife's at $4,000. At their re-
quest the women were taken to Kansas
City. where they said relatives would
furnish surety for them

In Thursdays issue of the Topeka
State Journal in the report of a SEES
sion of the state charter board, it
was stated that charters of the Lib
erty Life Insurance company. the New
System Bakeries company and the
Automobile Credit company had been
held up. Charters for these compa-
mics have already been granted, but
were unable to pass on their contra cts,
because of the absence of Attorney
General Hopkins. So far as is known,
these companies are reputable con-

WHEAT IN KANSAS



the one per cent loss is attributed to
grub worms. which have damaged
wheat to some extent also in Harper,
Labette, Morris and Sumner. Out OF
I the more than LOO reports received,
only rs mention the Hessian fly, and
so far as revealed by this canvass, the
| Kansas wheat, with limited local ex-
ceptions. as Indicated by the foregoing
references, is absolutely free from in
| furious insects of any kind.
While of such growth as to afford
abundant pasturage, farmers were pre-
vented from turning their stock on the
wheat fields to anywhere near the
usual extent because of snow and wet
ground.
1t is desired to invite attention to
the fact that the figures of acreage

receipt of the official assessors re-

for sowing and growth are excellent,
Except in three or four northeastern
counties, where it is still too wet.

age from grasshoppers is reported in
western Kansas. Frost this spring has
injured alfalfa to some extent, prin-
cipally in the central counties, and
gophers are proving a real menace to
many fields in various portions of the
state
GRASS AND LIVESTOCK = Native
grass pastures are responding well,
considering the setbacks of recent dry
summers. In many localities cattle
have been turned onto grass somewhat
earlier than usual, and generally stock
will be on pasture by or before May l..
Losses of livestock during the winter
were normal, except in the western
counties, where the mortality was ex-
cessive thru exposure to storms and
lack of feed. Those who gambled on
an open winter to carry cattle thru
sufficient roughage, lost heavily be-
cause of the long continued blanket of
snow that covered the prairies.
SPRING WORK-Altho not so far
advanced as usual, because of wet
ground, spring work is rapidly pro-

be detected in reports of serious lack
