 The purpose of Wilson's testimony, according to Frank Comerford. speclai presecutor, was to show that the de- fedants advocated the same methods employed in the Seattle strike Coun- sel for the alleged communist lapor ties had endeavored to prevent w llsoh and Ole Hanson, former mayor of seat tle from taking the stand. but the court today ruled that evidence relat- ing to the Seattle and Winnipeg strikes might be introduced.
 Wilson testified that when the gen eral strike in Seattle was called rep ruary 6, 1919, he was employed oy Fred N. Nelson of the Metal Trades Council of that city, and that his flrst duty was the printing and circulation of 20, 900 posters and handbills among soldiers and sailors. One of these bllls
 showed discharged soldier with empty pockets, reading: Where do we go from here? Join the Workers, Soldiers and Sailors Council. Together we win.

 The ardor with which the senator pressed his attack was interpreted by his associates here as meaning that ne now regards the Wilson foreign poll'F as having assumed a position of para mountcy in the campaign, and that ne ls determined to take the aggressive anu hold it as the fight develops. There was no indication that his policy Of front-porch campaign will be modified, b,t his advisers declared the term would be far from synonomous with acquies- cence.
 On the question of unqualified ap- nroval of the Presidents conduct of for eiqn affairs it was said the nominee fighting blood is up. It was indicated that in his speech of acceptance he might ha eype-tes to carry his attack step further and to enliven the fight wita some constructive suggestions of his own on the league question.
 After two weeks of confinement Ill nreparation of his acceptance speech, the senator adopted a programme Of more recreation today, and in the afternoon nnotored to Mansfield, 40 miles away, fot a golf iame. It was the first time since his return to Ohio that he had been oS the links, and he appeared to enjoy 1t immensely.
 Earlier in the day he conferred with R K. Hynicka, republican national com
 nitteeman from Ohio, and during the evening James G. Darden of New 1or"' one of those active in working for MT Harding's nomination, was guest al the Harding home.

Winslow Taylor & Company say.
I'VE feel that there will be an easing
In the call money rate within the next
week, which should be reflected in a
broader market with prices for the

very favorably inclined towards the
purchase of motor and motor accessory

creek bed which overlooked at every
rain, and at no time thoroughly
drained the several acres Of fertile
bottom land.
The farmers and laborers present,
who had done that type of ditching by
hand, agreed that no man could dia
enc rod per day, and that man could
not be secured to work at that type
Of work for less than SO a day. There
was not a man present who would
agree to do the work for less than
S12O.
We sunk bore holes IL feet deep
along the center line evry Is inchs,
with an ordinary l 1-2-inch crowbar.
Into each of these was placed one
cartridge (one-haTf pound) of the
straight dynamite. We shot three sec
lions each of about 10 rods. The
propagated method was used on all
of them and there was no trouble
whatever in firing each section with
one cap in the center.
The resulting ditch was about 10
feet wide at top, feet at fottom, and
from 3 to feet deep. This was some
what larger than was actually needed.
The cost of the ditch was: Labor
(planting dynamite only, no other re
quired), SIS; 125 pounds so per cent
straight dynamite, at $24.75 per hun
dred, 1904 Total cost of 80 rods of
ditch, 1854.
In other words, the right of way was
cleared and the ditch blown at one
operation, and it required only about
five hours time for three men. II the
work had been done by hand, one man
could not have dug it in month
The Importance of this experiment
can be estimated when it is stated,
by the college authorities and county
agents that there are thousands OF
acres of this fertile muck land in near
ly all parts of Michigan. This land
when drained is better than even
the newly cleared cut-over lands, on
account of its extreme fertility. When
draining marsh land or Strengthening
out creek channels it might pay you
TO try this quick and easy way OF put
ting through ditch.

American People
are Ignorant
European Newspaper Says
We are Self Satisfied and
Illiterate

The following, from a European
newspaper, is all the more numerous
and interesting in that the people of
the nation in which the newspaper is
published are famed the world over
for their political ignorance.
"A person who has never lived in
the United States and who has, conse-
quently, no real idea of the intellectual
poverty of the masses of the people,
would scarcely credit the assertions
that could be made with perfect &C
curacy of their bigotry and intolerance.
The fundamental fact in the political
lie OF America is lack of IDEAS They
have made scarcely any advance po-
litically since the eighteenth century.
americans have no suspicion what
ever of their own deficiencies in this
respect On the contrary, they believe
themselves politically to be the most
advanced people in the history Of the
world. They will undertake in per
feet simplicity to teach the ignorant
foreigner although statistics taken by
the Americans themselves reveal the
most amazing illiteracy among their
own natlve-born. The growth Of igno-
rance in the United States is not less
astonishing than the growth of wealth.
IT Is not humble and teachable fgno-
rance. 1t Is the self-satisfied and bla-
tant ignorance that accepts it's own in
fallibility as matter of course, and
from the height of that infallibility
undertakes to instruct the world re-
earding the abstrusities of democracy
liberty and political progress"

Ditching Made Easy

Ditch contractors and farmers in the
southern peninsula of Michigan tell
me that of all problems that confront
landowners on the low-lying sections
Of the State, that of ditching muck is
the most difficult.
In connection with II. L. Ostrander
Of Legrand, Michigan, l made a study
of this problem. We decided to try
oNt ditching with dynamite.
Ostrander was advised by the eS-
piosive manufacturers to purchase so
Fer cent straight dynamite for the
work, since in using this more sensi-
tive dynamite, it is not necessary to
use more than one cap in a consider
able yardage of ditch This method is
called the propagated method, and will
work only in very moist, wet, or water
covered soil. Since muck is always in
this condition, this method is usually
best in muck soils.
The ditch which Ostrander needed
was about 80 rods in length. and ran
through the worst strip of log and
stump infested wet land that | ever
saw. The neighbors were not at all
reluctant about questioning his sanity
when he talked of blasting a ditch
through this swamp.
The line of the ditch was laid out
so as to straighten the old crooked
